**Did you know that a difference exists between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God?** Join Joseph Z today to learn about God's kingdom, how it works, and its attributes. You will also learn about the system of gates of hell and how it operates.

Joseph describes what God's kingdom looks like, referencing Romans 14:17 to illustrate that it embodies righteousness, peace, and joy. He clarifies that a kingdom is a system led by a king and explains that God's kingdom functions as a system of righteousness, characterized by right standing before God, with peace and joy as its immediate rewards. He also distinguishes between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven, revealing that the kingdom of heaven is a place filled with saints, angels, and God's throne, while the kingdom of God consists of believers who embody righteousness, peace, and joy.

He also explains that the gates of hell operate as a system, characterized by immorality, namely, stealing, killing, and destruction. Notably, he points out that God's kingdom has a constitution (God's Word), a military (angels), a mental health plan (the peace that surpasses all understanding), a family (believers in Christ), an economy (God's blessings), and a social system (the Church). In contrast, the gates of hell consist of a constitution (deception), a military (demonic forces), a mental health plan (confusion and chaos), a healthcare plan (sickness and death), a family (usury and false love), an economy (the love of money), and a social system (the wisdom of the world).

Joseph clarifies that these kingdoms cannot be changed but can be entered, and anyone who gains access will experience everything the respective kingdom offers. Interestingly, he notes that the deception of hell's kingdom is logic, as it appeals to the carnal mind (the five natural senses), operating through a wide gate that accommodates every desire a person might have. Furthermore, the kingdom of hell remains indifferent to a person's actions as long as they do not challenge it. However, the more someone engages with God's kingdom, the more they resist the kingdom of hell.

He further explains that trials and persecution are meant to strip away God's Word from us and lead us away from God's path. Therefore, we must hold more tightly to God during these trials, surrender our will to the written Word of God, and combine it with our faith to bring life to God's Spirit within us, creating pathways to overcome the yoke of bondage. In conclusion, he cites Malachi 3:10-11 to illustrate the blessings that follow obedience to God's Word.
