Delay Is Not Denial | Voice of God with Joseph Z

**If you do not faint, you will see victory.** Today, Joseph Z teaches about perseverance in faith, exploring the importance of "staying power" during periods of waiting while encouraging us to maintain hope amidst trials. Joseph teaches that delay is not denial, emphasizing that we must possess "staying power" to fulfill everything that God requires of us. He explains that there is often a period of "tarrying" between believing and receiving. While this waiting can be part of the journey toward achieving our vision, we are not meant to remain in that state forever, as it can lead to weariness. However, we can overcome this weariness by resting and renewing ourselves in God's word.  Learn more about Z Ministries by following the link below: https://linktr.ee/zministries  He warns against abandoning our vision due to fatigue and encourages us to stay consistent in doing good. Joseph asserts that delay is not denial because trials do not last forever, and if we remain faithful to our vision, we will outlast every challenge. He clarifies that God did not intend for us to experience delays or hardships; rather, the fall of man led to these disappointments. Yet, through the blood of Jesus, we are called to stand firm against this fallen world, and if we do not give up, we will ultimately see victory. Furthermore, Joseph assures us that God did not create us to fail or fall into despair. He encourages us to keep pushing forward and to maintain a sense of humor, as this helps us find peace and joy in our hearts. By laughing off our struggles, we weaken the power of the forces that seek to worsen our situations. He also references Hebrews 6:11-12, which urges us to show full diligence and maintain assurance of hope until the end. It warns against becoming sluggish and encourages us to imitate those who, through faith and patience, inherit the promise. Additionally, he cites Proverbs 4:18 to inspire us, reminding us that the path of the righteous is like the shining sun that grows brighter until the perfect day. Psalm 27:14 further instructs us to wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He will strengthen our hearts. October 2, 2025
