You may want to add a reference to rule 702.102 that defines the ability bestow as a static ability of a card, not a creature. Just so someone does not come through in 10 min and post an answer with that information and make yours unnecessary.

# Prophet of Kruphix: Can I flash Bestow?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-10-07)

If I have [Prophet of Kruphix](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Prophet%20of%20Kruphix) out (which gives all my creatures flash), can I use the bestow ability of my enchantment creatures during my opponents turn? For example, can I bestow [Thassa's Emissary](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=373735) on one of my creatures, during my opponents turn?

Bestow text for reference:

Similarly, if I do not have enough devotion for [Thassa, God of the Sea](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Thassa%2C%20God%20of%20the%20Sea) to be a creature, can I use flash to cast her during my opponents turn?

Yes, you can, for both. Prophet of Kruphix allows you to cast "Creature Cards" as though they had flash. Thassa's Emissary IS a Creature Card. It's NOT a "Creature", as a "Creature" is a permanent on the battlefield, which it isn't while it's in your hand or on the stack. But it IS a "Creature Card", and that's all that matters.

See rules for Bestow, noting that Bestow ability that allows you to cast it as an Aura is a static ability of the card itself, not of a creature or aura permanent.
