"God has designed you to overcome, last, and expand in the middle of a dark, difficult age; for your faith is the power that brings the world to its knees".

In Red Church today, Joseph Z brings us a message of encouragement, reminding us that faith is the power that overcomes the world, for Jesus paid the price for the world to experience the fullness of God through the Body of Christ. He leads us to the Book of Hebrews 6:9-10 to encourage us not to be sluggish but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherited God's promises. Ha also cites the Book of 1 Corinthians 4:15 to explain the importance of spiritual fathers, revealing that a spiritual father is someone we imitate in the faith.

Next, Joseph defines faith as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. He also explains patience to mean, remaining consistently the same as the first word we received without wavering. Thus, when we have faith, patience, and endurance, we obtain God's promises. He informs us that God requires us to alter our environment through faith, as the Book of 1 John 5:4 reveals: "For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith."

Joseph further brings to our understanding that, when we maintain our composure in faith, patience, and endurance, the world before us bows the knee and we become a wrecking ball to the kingdom of darkness. He also makes us realize that with consistent application of faith, patience, and endurance we can alter the narrative in the affairs of life. He assures us that our faith and patience mean a lot to God, and He can do the impossible for us if we do not let go.
