**If God is for you, who can be against you?** In today's insightful broadcast, Joseph Z highlights the importance of mature believers in both the church and the world, emphasizing our calling to transform lives through prayer and presence.

Joseph emphasizes that both the church and the world need to see mature believers, as we are not merely converts, but mature believers. For as many as have received Him, to them He gave the power to become sons and daughters of God. He believes that God has called us to change the narrative through prayer, intercession, and our presence in various capacities.

He references Jeremiah 1:4-10 to remind us that God called us even before we were formed in the womb, setting us over nations to uproot, tear down, build, and plant. Joseph also points to Ezekiel 37:1-10 to illustrate that God works through the vessels He has anointed, placing them in positions to speak His truth. He goes on to clarify that prophets are meant to edify and equip the saints, drawing them closer to Jesus. He also explains that God chooses to work through people, for as He is, so are we in this world.

In an interesting turn, he highlights four aspects of prophetic ministry: Roeh (the visionary gift), Nabi (an inspirational gift of the Holy Spirit that conveys God's voice or divine inspiration), Chazah (to gaze), and Chozeh (to look into the future). He mentions Agabus, a New Testament prophet who foretold a famine, prompting the church to respond by sending aid. With this, he underscores our role as believers, with the gospel as our primary mission: to go and make disciples of all nations.

Joseph further clarifies the distinctions between converts and disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, referring to Romans 12:1 to highlight what is expected of us as new creations in Christ. Allison also highlights the importance of reading God's word, as it is essential for deepening our faith in Him.
