**Persecution is a stamp of approval that you’re walking into a promotion.** In today’s No Limits episode, Joseph Z warns against institutionalizing a revelation, emphasizing the various reformers that God has chosen to bring about reformation in the body of Christ. 

Joseph explains that when God calls us, He provides glimpses of what is to come during the initial stages, often referred to as the birthing stage. However, the real journey lies ahead, accompanied by significant responsibilities. After the birthing stage of a dream or calling, there comes a phase of growth and development, followed by maturity. In this mature phase, one might fall into the trap of institutionalism. Another potential pitfall during maturity is an excessive focus on the past, which can lead to decline.

Next, Joseph references Proverbs 20:28-29 to illustrate how we can facilitate reconciliation between fathers and children. He reveals that the young offer strength, while the old provide wisdom. To achieve reconciliation, there must be an exchange of wisdom for strength, which helps break generational curses. He insists that the young lions require the guidance of seasoned fathers to thrive in their respective roles. However, the "burnt stones" are those who have endured significant challenges and are the most qualified to mentor the young lions.   Joseph also discusses the different reformers that God will use to bring about reformation. He describes the "Cinderellas" as those who possess genuine inspiration and revelatory understanding, but are often captured by institutions to revive their stagnant visions. On the other hand, the "Rudolphs" are the outcasts who will become the broadcasts. They are unique because they hold what is necessary for a special season.   Furthermore, Joseph emphasizes the importance of spiritual fathers, stating that they are those who are worthy of imitation in the body of Christ. He explains that trials and persecution come for the sake of the word, serving as a stamp of approval indicating that we are moving toward promotion. He urges us to follow the call of God in our lives, suggesting that it initiates a generational merging. He encourages us to embrace the fullness of what God has in store for us.
