Best Definitions of Prophecy and "to Prophesy"

It is my understanding that one must be a prophet to relate a prophecy, but that the term prophesy has a broader context. That is, the NT church no longer receives new prophecy since the prophetic age has ceased, but believers may still prophesy, in that we as the priesthood of believers, proclaim the truth of God as revealed through the combined and inextricable revelation of Holy Scripture and the Holy Spirit.

Are there any good resources available on the Internet that expound on this?

Have I correctly contextualized the terms?
