Questions for the Prophetic!

On today’s prophetic broadcast, Joseph Z features Pastor Todd Coconato, and they respond to questions and concerns regarding the prophetic. Joseph shares why he wrote his recently published book, “Demystifying the Prophetic”, a well-detailed bestselling piece that unveils all the mysteries surrounding the prophetic. He acknowledges that the prophetic is a beautiful gift from God, but has been susceptible to many superstitions. He reveals that without the word of God applied to the prophetic, we end up in error because the Bible has warned that we must not go beyond what is written. He insists that God’s word is there to rightsize our five senses, as written in God’s word from the Book of Hebrews 5:14, for, without God’s word, one is destined for error.

Next, Joseph references the Book of Ephesians 4:11-12 to teach that the office of the prophet is here for the edifying and equipping of the body of Christ. On the other hand, Pastor Todd discloses that prophecies must be according to God’s word, bear witness in our spirit, and must not be something new most of the time, but even when it is, to ensure that God grants a confirmation of that prophecy. Also, Joseph makes us understand the differences between modern prophecy and psychics, clarifying that there is a difference between the Old and New Testament prophets. This further reveals that Jesus established a new covenant at His coming, fulfilled the law, and everybody began to hear the voice of God, but that was not so in the Old Testament. 

Again, Joseph explains that there are fake psychics and ones that are naturally gifted from birth, but deferred from the path that God carved for them, thus they become susceptible to evil spirits who take charge of their gifting. He further clarifies that psychics are false prophets, but the difference between psychics and the office of the prophetic is the foundation and the spirit driving the gift. He further explains how to hear from God, revealing that one who desires to hear from God must read the word of God consistently, be filled with God’s spirit, and release oneself to speaking in tongues. 

Additionally, he outlines the differences between the office and the gifting of prophecy, revealing that the office of the prophet is a responsibility to edify and equip the Body of Christ with prophecy, teaching, and training while the gift of prophecy is for every believer; for the testimony of Jesus is the gift of prophecy. In conclusion, he analyzes the four types of prophetic flows, Roeh, Nabi, Chozeh, and Chazah while condemning the act of charging money for prophecy.
