**In Red Church today, Joseph Z enlightens our understanding of prophecy, emphasizing the cooperative role of the Holy Spirit in interpreting prophetic revelations and the distinction between the gift of prophecy and the prophetic office. He urges the church to be a guiding light in a dark world, responding with hope and action in line with God's will.**

Joseph emphasizes that some gifts are embedded in our DNA and are therefore hereditary. However, he raises concerns that many individuals with these gifts are not receiving proper training in how to use them to honor God. He explains that all people who possess gifts should submit to God's word and training until the Lord elevates those gifts. He notes that the Lord does nothing without first revealing His secrets to His prophets.

He also clarifies that we work in cooperation with the Holy Spirit when interpreting prophetic revelations, acknowledging that we understand and prophesy only in part. He criticizes the reliance on religious practices in the prophetic, warning against using outward expressions to appear more spiritual. Joseph highlights different types of prophetic flows: Roeh (the visionary gift), Nabi (the inspirational gift of the Holy Spirit that operates through God's voice or divine inspiration), Chazah (to gaze), and Chozeh (to peer into the distance or lean forward to look into the future).

Joseph reveals that ministry is fundamentally about people and allowing God to love people through us. He distinguishes between the gift of prophecy and the prophetic office, explaining that while everyone can prophesy, the office of the prophet carries the responsibility of equipping and edifying the body of Christ. He points out that God often speaks to us in unclear ways because He desires to be pursued. For it is the glory of God to conceal a matter, and the glory of kings to seek it out.

Furthermore, he urges us not to cooperate with darkness but to be like Agabus, who prophesied about a famine, prompting the church to respond by sending aid to those in need. He insists that the church must be a light in today's dark world, bringing hope where there is despair and standing firm amidst this present evil age, for it is God's will for us to be delivered from this present evil age, as illustrated in Galatians 1:4.
