NO LIMITS with Joseph Z and Special Guest Brian Gibson

**Boldly prophesy and boldly live humbly.** Join Joseph Z and Brian Gibson as they demystify the prophetic, highlighting the difference between the gift of prophecy and the office of the prophet. They show how prophecy works and ways to operate in it. 

Brian explains that as believers, we all can prophesy. He outlines four levels of prophecy: the past (which may be insightful but often lacks God's influence), the word of wisdom that reveals future events (with God at the center), and both complex and simple prophecy. He emphasizes that holding the office of a prophet is not merely about possessing a gift or ability; it is about taking on responsibility.

Brian reassures us that a prophet does not have to be correct all the time. He references the Biblical figure Agabus, who prophesied one thing that turned out differently, reminding us that "we know in part and prophesy in part."

Interestingly, he highlights that being in proximity to the person who is meant to receive the prophetic word makes our prophetic gift come alive and makes the word of knowledge more accessible. Brian stresses the importance of continually practicing our gifts to become more familiar with the best ways to operate in them.

He further emphasizes that the motivation behind our prophecies must be love; anything else renders our gift a counterfeit. He warns against heeding just any voice we encounter, insisting that only God's voice should guide our future. He encourages us to listen specifically to God through His Word.

Finally, Brian notes that as prophets, we should not share everything we see, as the spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet, meaning our words must always be edifying and aim to bring people closer to Jesus. He cautions against chasing prophecy but being rooted in God’s word.
