**Sometimes what you're seeing in your natural life is a reflection of what is going on in spirit.** Joseph Z shows how negative words and actions empower darkness while exposing how we can bring light to every situation by aligning with God's Word.

Joseph explains that the events occurring in our lives physically sometimes correlate with what is happening in the spiritual realm because we are gatekeepers to the spirit realm. He references Ezekiel 22:30 to emphasize the importance of our intercession and standing in the gap for our families and against all the powers of darkness that wage war against God's nation. Thus, what we do in this life authorizes God's will, as our actions grant permission to spiritual forces to go to work.

Next, Joseph clarifies that when we give the Lord our lives, we exercise free moral agency and stand in the gap. He leads us to 1 Corinthians 15:46 to emphasize that the natural comes first before the spiritual; what we do in the natural allows the spirit to move. He clarifies that our actions in any circumstance will either activate God's power or the forces of darkness. He urges us to always take massive action in faith by declaring positive words amidst negative and challenging situations, as this would trigger a spiritual response depending on what we say or do.

Joseph asserts that there are no special problems, for when we perform the difficult in faith, God will do the impossible, regardless of the situation. He explains that when we confess negative things in our lives or murmur about our predicament instead of praying against it in faith, we end up empowering the very things we do not want. However, when we cooperate with God's word, mix it with our faith, and are not swayed by our circumstances, we begin to place dark powers and strange encounters on their heels.

Furthermore, Joseph clarifies that the light and dark sides of everything happening spiritually operate by permission. He urges us to stand firm on God's word to challenge every unpleasant situation in our lives, just as God commanded light to appear amid darkness.
