**I am bypassing them for their own purposes so I can break the curses.** In this powerful message, Joseph Z highlights the spiritual opposition faced by righteous leaders. He foresees the rise of young leaders embodying Kirk's spirit. He shares prophetic insights for 2026 and 2027.

Joseph compares what happened to Charlie Kirk to the story of Stephen in Acts 6:5-15. Stephen, who spoke with faith and power, faced opposition from the religious leaders of his time. Joseph asserts that Charlie has the same spirit that dwelled in Stephen, as no one could refute his wise moral arguments, which offended many and ultimately led to his untimely death. However, Joseph assures us that God will use for good what the enemy intended for evil. He reminds us that while we will face trouble in this world, we should take heart, for Christ has overcome the world.

He notes the role of Saul in Stephen's death before Saul's transformative encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus. Joseph emphasizes that many individuals who resemble Saul will have their own Damascus road experiences that will transform them into Pauls. He insists that many young leaders, embodying the spirit of Charlie Kirk, will emerge from this movement, and those who seek to disrupt will be addressed by the Spirit of God during the State of the Union, revealing the truth of what is happening.

Joseph also reveals that the Lord is bypassing many leaders who seek to position themselves for their own purposes. He insists that God's message is moving past them to fulfill His plans and break curses. The Lord indicates that it is time for His followers to rise, as He will once again ignite passion among America's people. He also shares insights about what to expect in 2026 and 2027. He notes that 2026 will be a year of picking up sticks, during which we will begin to understand and correct what is happening in the country, potentially invoking Psalm 126.

He emphasizes that 2027 will be a year of realignment and a pivotal moment full of revivals, leading to a new and different America by 2028. Joseph encourages us not to grieve like the world, as we will see those who have gone before us once again.
