In this insightful teaching, Joseph Z highlights the importance of discernment in understanding the signs of the times, contrasting the greatness of John the Baptist with the inherent glory of those born again in Christ, who embody the hope within.

He points out that John the Baptist was regarded as the greatest of all prophets because he prepared the way for the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ. Joseph recognizes that even the least among us is greater than John the Baptist.

He explains that the Holy Spirit will guide us to all truths, just as He led the apostles in fulfilling their mission on earth. Joseph notes that we are standing on a new foundation in the New Testament, which is built on better promises and a better covenant. Jesus fulfilled all the requirements of the old covenant, and in Him, we have everything we need, especially discernment.

Furthermore, Joseph reveals that to build discernment, we need to do more than just read God's word and pray in the Holy Spirit. We must also cultivate a deep understanding of God's love for us, remembering that Jesus loves us unconditionally. He highlights the importance of moving beyond a consciousness of sin and instead confessing our righteousness in Christ Jesus. Joseph urges us to get to know Jesus better by spending time in His word, which will help us gain discernment.
