The gift of prophecy is an ongoing manifestation of the Holy Spirit within a Christian (1Co 12:7,10), compelling him/her to prophesy regularly (Ro 12:6, 1Co 14:39). The presence of the gift does not automatically assume one is a prophet, as Paul made a distinction in 1Corinthians 14:37 between “a prophet” and one who is “spiritually-gifted”. Certainly both have the gift, the difference being the prophet has proven spiritual maturity, reliable prophetic accuracy, and governmental recognition.
PROPHESIER
The term prophesier is a very generic term used by some to mean “one who prophesies”. The term makes no distinctions whatsoever as to who exactly is prophesying, whether a mature prophet or a prophetically-gifted baby Christian or even a false prophet. It is simply a generic term like "leader" or "worker".

Should We Fear A True Prophet Of God
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Interesting that the above scripture says "thou shall not be afraid of him" which is another way to say "thou shall not fear him". With that said, what does this say?
It seems that in the old testament that a true prophet of God was respected in the sense of fearing that prophet. Not because of the prophet or the man, but because a true prophet spoke the word and words of God.
We again see this in the new testament. Do you know where and in regards to what passages?
Blessings, in Christ
