**Are there Prophets in the New Testament? Join Joseph Z in today’s insightful episode as he explores the crucial roles of apostles, prophets, and other leaders in the church, highlighting the relevance of prophets in the New Testament.**
Joseph cites Ephesians 4:7-12 to explain that each of us received a gift from Christ during His ascension. The passage states, “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.” Christ Himself appointed apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.

Joseph emphasizes that God has established a order within the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, followed by miracles, gifts of healing, helping, guidance, and various kinds of tongues, as illustrated in 1 Corinthians 12:28. He addresses the misconception that prophets do not exist in the New Testament, spotlighting the twenty-one gifts (governmental, manifestational, and motivational) that Christ has made available to the church for its edification. He reminds us of the truth stated in 1 John 4:17: "As Christ is, so are we in this world."
Additionally, Joseph references Acts 11:27 to demonstrate that prophets continued to exist even after Jesus’s ascension. This verse mentions the prophet Agabus, who warned the church about an impending famine, prompting the church to take action and send aid to the affected areas.
