1 Corinthians 14:18-19 (ESV Strong's)
18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
To prophesy is to speak Spirit words in a tongue that is understood by those within hearing. This is the the language of Jesus as He spoke the word of God to worship the Jews.
This allows the full worship of God with mind, body, and spirit. The fruit of the Spirit can be received and shared, and the body of Christ can be strengthened, encouraged, and find comfort. This is the language of love.
