It's an interesting article, but I'm not entirely convinced. Like the argument from healing miracles, it presents only one side of the story - successful prophecies (or successful prayers for healing).
I think if we are to use the argument from prophecy, we need to also consider the number of prophecies that have not come true (so far) - perhaps even a Bayesian analysis? Also, how much ambiguity there is in the prophecy. If this was done, and the evidence came out "right", then I think there may be a good argument in it.
But at present, I think I'd only use it in a very tentative way.
