From a Christian point of view: Luke authored the gospel bearing his name. He was a close traveling companion of the Apostle Paul and a member of the Christian congregation. He also wrote the book "Acts of the Apostles" which is considered a continuation of the Gospel of Luke.

Although he was not considered a prophet in the traditional sense, The Bible mentions that at 2 Peter 1:21 that: "For prophecy was at no time brought by man's will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit."

Also at 2 Timothy 3:16,17 it says: "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."

So, he was inspired (or filled with Holy Spirit from God) to accomplish the task of writing these two books of the New Testament.
