Today on Red Church, Joseph Z enlightens us about the mysteries of life, making us understand that the difficulties we experience in life are often demonic and do not come to better but destroy us. He explains that we experience tribulations or persecution because of God's word in our hearts, and its purpose is to rip God's word out of our hearts; hence anyone who lives a godly life will suffer persecution. On the other hand, Heather urges us to take solace in Christ's words, "Do not be afraid, It is I"; and to keep going when all forces of darkness are against us. When we put Jesus first in our situation, we demand a draw from our covenant with Him, which will ease our fear.

Next, Joseph teaches that the spirit of God makes a way where there's none, and no matter what we're going through, we must invite Jesus into our boat, which will lead us to a miraculous momentum. Also, Heather encourages us to guard our hearts despite the challenges we face in life because when we allow the devil into our hearts, he steals God's word from our hearts, and our faith in God is defeated, leading to our destruction. More so, Allison points out that our healing and deliverance can be hindered by unforgiveness, thus we must forgive all those who have wronged us, alongside ourselves.

Furthermore, Heather reminds us that Christ has defeated all the trouble we may have in this world, giving us victory in His blood. Hence, when we have this revelation, the finished works of Jesus are functional in our lives for all those who are in Christ Jesus, and all we need to do is place a demand on that covenant. She further explains that when we become fully persuaded in God's word, we have confidence that everything is going to be alright, no matter the situation we find ourselves in.
