Their are different kinds of the prophetic anointing, but prophets should regularly move in the gift of prophecy and other revelation gifts (word of knowledge, word of wisdom, discernment of spirits) on a consistent basis.
The Lord Himself pointed this out.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
1 Cor 12:4-6
Prophecy in the New Covenant is to speak edification, exhortation, and comfort to the church of God.
This is in the New Testament.
Although I am obviously not your judge, it is very unusual to not minister to the body of Christ as this is who the five fold ministry primarily serves. This is to keep the body from being deceived by every wind of doctrine.
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Eph 4:11-16
For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
1 Cor 14:31
(This includes you.)
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
1 Cor 14:1-4
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
1 Cor 14:38-39
It is difficult to believe that you would not be in unity with the body no just because that is whom you primarily serve, but because you are called to receive of the same ministry from that same body. Their is not one part of the body that does not need the rest of the body to be complete and whole.
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
1 Cor 12:21
The fruits of walking fully in God's plan should be an abundant life, full of the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Your soul should be made fat, and your body healthy. Your walk should be primarily free from oppression (although not attacks), and the glory of God should be manifest on a regular basis.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:22-23
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
John 15:5
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10
Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Isaiah 55:2
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Psalms 103:2-5
Only you can judge your own fruits, but not forsaking the assembly of the brethren is scriptural and the Holy Spirit does not oppose the scripture.
For every tree is known by his own fruit.
Luke 6:44
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Heb 10:25
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Mark 16:20
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
Psalms 133:1-3
Th enemy separates. The Lord can and will separate someone for a season and interaction with the body might well seem very restricted in your walk. Keep in mind that your primary ministry is to the body. If you're not moving in the gifts among the body, you won't be fulfilled and have the above described fruits.
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
Matt 12:33
The Lord Himself pointed this out.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

Matt 12:33
I meant to tell you sister, that your font is too small! It' a strain to read for those who don't have the vision you do.Methinks your vision of God and who He loves is too small.
I would recommend that you obtain and read (from Amazon.com) "The Shaping of an Apostle". Although it speaks about the apostolic anointing, she talks a lot about being a prophet, and their ministry to the body.
Kenneth Hagin's "Ministry of a Prophet" is very good too. The Lord appeared to him and explained the ministry gifts.
When I first read your testimony about your work in Thailand, I thought, "Sounds like the provision of the Lord". Whatever He calls you to do, that He provides for. But being permanently separated from the body is not of God. I'm not criticizing your place, I just don't want to see you outside of the plan of God in some measure. The fruits should be apparent.
The whole counsel of God is part of the preaching the gospel of the kingdom. A prophet's call is wonderful and it should minister to the body. No believer's life is in the fullness of God's plan unless they are partaking of the prophet's ministry. It is important that we line up our lives with the Word, and the Holy Spirit will do just that. It is important for the prophet to be partaking of the other ministries as well. Every believer has a ministry and it will not reach its full potential unless we work together.
Again, judge your own fruits. Consider also that if their are strongholds in a believer's life, when they their "fruit" or specialty is confronted with the Word of God (brought out in to the light), the host is made uncomfortable and they typically react in an ungodly way.
I'm on your side sister, as you fulfill the gospel. We are all to be transparent with one another and share freely.
God is going to work a wonderful work in the church and unity (sadly lacking today) is going go be the hallmark. We are going to join together as never before.
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph 4:11-14
