Discover how to navigate prophetic experiences and the process of developing discernment in today’s prophetic broadcast. Joseph Z makes us understand that the gift of prophecy can be developed by consistently reading God’s word and praying in the Holy Spirit, but it’s not so with the office of prophecy. Also, we’re led to understand that apostles are chosen and prophets are grown. On the other hand, Joseph outlines the habits we must develop to hear from God; listening to God’s word, praying in the holy spirit, and being in the midst of Godly people who uplift us spiritually.

Next, he points out that clutter, offense, and strife can hinder us from hearing from God; thus, we must guard our hearts with God’s words so we don’t become susceptible to these vices. Interestingly, Rick warns against listening to voices that we’ve not tested under God’s word because such voices can cause us to go astray and fall by the wayside. Joseph also brings to our understanding, the differences between the gift of prophecy and the office of the prophet while outlining the four types of prophecy: Chozeh, Chazah, Roeh, and Nabi.
Similarly, he interprets the different types of prophecy, and how each operates. Rick points out that we do not develop a gift but can develop our soul’s ability to operate in a certain gift. Once more, we’re led to understand that we can move in all four gifts of prophecy but there may be one that resonates more with us than the rest. More interestingly, Joseph discloses that Moses may have operated in a Chozeh gift of prophecy because God showed a part of Himself to him and he also gained his inspiration to write the Book of Genesis from this gift.
Furthermore, Rick reveals that the Holy Spirit is the major ingredient in the gift of prophecy and when one lacks the spirit of God, one lacks the essential piece needed to carry out prophetic assignments. Again, Joseph teaches that revelation is a supernatural encounter, and when this is righty processed, it becomes rightly interpreted leading to a proper application. In addition, Rick points out the importance of relying on one another for accuracy in prophetic interpretation and application.
