The Pause Before the Push | Voice of God with Joseph Z

Join Joseph Z today as he emphasizes the importance of persistence in achieving victory. He also shares ways to prevent a movement or revelation from declining.  Joseph explains that God's sovereignty is limited when it comes to us and our actions because, as He is, so are we in this world. He reminds us that the gates of hell cannot prevail against the church, urging us to keep advancing God's kingdom as we have been called to do, regardless of the challenges we face, since God does not take pleasure in the righteous who shrink back.  Learn more about Z Ministries by following the link below: https://linktr.ee/zministries  He shares the story of Elisha and King Joash, revealing that King Joash should have struck the ground repeatedly when Elisha instructed him; instead, he struck the ground only three times. Because of this, King Joash was only able to defeat his enemies three times instead of completely vanquishing them. With this, he encourages us that it's time for the church to storm Babylon and keep striking the ground until we gain victory over the evil one. Joseph also reveals that a mantle falls on whomever God deems worthy, and no one can possess it just because they desire to. He highlights the phases of a movement or calling, explaining that a revelation is born during the developmental phase and can become institutionalized at the mature stage. He clarifies that a movement begins to decline when the past is glorified more than the present or future. He then references Proverbs 20:28-29 to show how a movement can be saved from decline.
