The prophesies about Joseph Smith is the first reason that Anthony Sweat gives that would help one know that Joseph was a prophet of God.

Think of the predictions that Joseph would have gotten out of his year book, if he would have had a high school yearbook. They would never have said something about him becoming a prophet of a world wide religion, but the Lord knew what Joseph would become.

Sweat's talk goes on to list 9 more reasons why Joseph Smith is a prophet. I found the talk a good one for teenage level on up, it's under an hour in length.
