Today, Joseph Z explores the clear steps to prophetic clarity, highlighting the characteristics of genuine and false prophets while outlining ways to manage one's gift so as not to go beyond what is written.

Joseph emphasizes that prophecy serves multiple purposes: not only edification, comfort, and encouragement, but also as a profound word of knowledge meant to guide people along the right path. He outlines three steps to achieve clarity in prophecy and discusses how each step should be approached and applied. He stresses the importance of restraint in prophecy, pointing out that one does not always need to voice everything perceived; instead, the goal should be to help others.

Furthermore, Joseph warns against manipulation by prophets, asserting that prophecy is not transactional but a divine gift meant to glorify God. He categorizes prophets into three types: genuine, false, and novice prophets, with the latter possibly needing initial rebuke to prevent them from falling into a reprobate state. He also underscores the importance of having experienced mentors, or "fathers," in the prophetic realm, who can guide those new to their gifts toward the right path. Joseph explains that these mentors are those worthy of imitation and acknowledges that some prophetic gifts can be inherited.

Additionally, Joseph emphasizes the importance of training one's gifts following the principles of God's word and under healthy leadership. He notes that false prophets often display their gifts for show, while true prophets are motivated by love. Most importantly, he highlights the need to carefully manage the flow of prophetic messages to avoid falling into a cycle of suspicion.
