Five Expressions of the Prophetic Ministry
📌 The prophetic ministry generally involves communicating on the Lord's behalf, which can manifest as receiving a message, impression, or dream requiring stewardship and obedience.
💧 The five specific expressions discussed are the Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom, Discernment, Prophetic Insight, and Prophecy (foresight).
📜 Scriptural basis for these abilities is referenced primarily from 1 Corinthians 12:7-8 and 1 Corinthians 12:10.

Word of Knowledge and Word of Wisdom
💡 The Word of Knowledge is the supernatural acquisition of specific bits of information or knowledge regarding a person's past or present situation (e.g., the woman at the well in John 4).
⚙️ Knowledge can be acquired naturally (reading a textbook), but the *Word of Knowledge* is divinely inspired.
🧭 The Word of Wisdom pertains to daily navigation; it is the supernatural deposit of wisdom for managing complex areas like finances, organization, or strategy (illustrated by Joseph's solutions).

Discernment and Prophetic Insight
🧐 Discernment of spirits is the ability to distinguish between spirits (satanic, secular, or of God) operating in manifestations, emphasizing it is not omniscience or criticism.
🧠 Prophetic Insight involves seeing into the soul, hearts, and minds of people, which can only be revealed by God, exposing secret thoughts (referenced in Matthew 12:2 and 1 Corinthians 14:24-25).
❌ Insight differs from knowledge because it involves information that cannot be acquired through natural means (unlike spying or reading texts).

Prophecy (Foresight)
🔮 Prophecy, in this context, is defined as foresight—seeing the future as revealed by God, such as Jesus predicting his suffering and resurrection (Mark 8:31) or Old Testament prophets seeing details of Christ's life.
🔮 True prophecy is not educated guessing based on current socioeconomic conditions, weather patterns, or political rumors, but specific divine revelation.
✅ The purpose of prophecy is to be helpful and edifying to the body, not just demonstrating prediction capability.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The Word of Knowledge addresses the exterior (past/present situations), while the Word of Wisdom provides the solution for navigation.
➡️ Discernment enables one to see the spirit and the source of power/manifestation, but it should not be confused with the gift of criticism.
➡️ Prophetic Insight allows seeing into the soul/mind, which is entirely supernatural, whereas prophecy is specifically foresight into the future.
