Description:
**In today’s prophetic episode, Joseph Z explores the presence and role of prophets in the New Testament, distinguishing between the gift of prophecy and the prophetic office. He also highlights the foundational role of prophets in the church.**
Joseph emphasizes the presence of prophets in the New Testament by referencing Acts 13:1, which lists the prophets in the church at Antioch: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been raised with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul. He believes that one true sign of a genuine prophet is generosity, further supporting his claim by citing Ephesians 2:20, which indicates that the church is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

Moreover, he notes that Judas (not Iscariot) and Silas were also prophets in the New Testament, as shown in Acts 15:27-34, thereby confirming the existence of prophets at that time. He outlines the role of prophecy as being comforting, exhorting, and encouraging, noting that the gift of prophecy is available to all believers.
Joseph further clarifies the distinction between the gift of prophecy and the office of a prophet. He explains that while the gift of prophecy is accessible to all believers, the office of the prophet is designated for a select few, as it carries the responsibility of equipping and edifying the body of Christ.
