I believe many people are turned away when told about "prophets" because of the doubt and trouble in times past with so called "prophets". Jesus teaches us about prophets, he said;
"By their fruits ye may know them." Which simply is to say, look at the good works or "fruit" that comes from a living prophet.
Amos (a prophet in the Old Testament) teaches us that God gives us "His secrets."
"Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secrets unto his servants the prophets."
Has God always called prophets? The answer is yes. From the creation of Adam, up to the time of our very own day. What! we have Latter-day prophets? Yes. Just as in times of old God calls prophets.

For example Moses (being a prophet) brought the children of Israel out of bondage or slavery from a very wicked nation. In a real sense, our day many people are in bondage and have many challenges which take them away from life's most precious moments. How many families are broken because of drug abuse, violence, harassment or ignorance? How many thousands of Heavenly Fathers children are hurt because of wickedness and "slavery"?
Our latter-day prophets receive guidance from Heavenly Father to help us come out of slavery and bondage.

The world changes and we can't do this on our own. We need help and direction. "When there is to be anything different from that which the Lord has told us already, He will reveal it to His prophet and no one else." Harold B. Lee
Prophets also Testify of the Savior and His ministry, just as John the baptist taught his people. Watch this video of modern witnesses of latter-day prophets.
I know prophets are real, they do communicate with Heavenly Father through his Holy Spirit. I know you can know this is true, because there is evidence that Heavenly Father has given us.
If you would like to know more about this evidence, check out my post "Safety for my soul", and I know without a doubt you can come to know this truth as well.
