The prophecy about "balancing the force" is a prequel thing. I doubt they'll touch it with a 10ft pole.
And while the question is interesting, the movie really doesn't present it in a good way. Sometimes having questions after the first movie of a series is good, but in this case because they did so little with Rey it just doesn't work. They either needed to build the entire movie up to her being something greater than just some girl and go for The Matrix, or somehow tie her force-ing into her character.
As it stands it's like they tried to make her an awesome super-powered badass but forgot all of the important scenes that actually developed those ideas. When she grabs the lightsaber, all we know is that she didn't want it when Maz Catana talked to her but now she's taking it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt like we saw the beginning and ending of something but the middle got lost somewhere. Then again when she goes super mode fighting Ren - it just happens without any significance. Lots of people try to compare her power to Luke's, but when Luke blows up the Death Star it's because he's believing in the force, and it's the culmination of everything he's learnt and seen in the movie.
