“I am preparing you for a turning of the tide that’s to come”.
Today in Red Church, Joseph Z instructs us on how to hear from God. He reminds us that we will have troubles in this world; still, we’re commanded to be of good cheer, for Christ has overcome the world. He shares how we can hear from God, disclosing that the only way is to read the Bible until it starts speaking back to us and until our minds and emotions are drowned by God’s word, influencing our decisions and how we feel about whatever issues we face. Also, he points out that praying in tongues is another necessary spiritual gift we must imbibe if we must hear from God. He clarifies that when we pray in the spirit followed by fasting, we invest in our future, and with time, we begin to hear from God.

In like manner, he explains that when we fast, we’re positioning ourselves into God’s will for our lives, for fasting does not move God, but moves us into the position to align with God’s plan. He cites the Book of Habakkuk 2:3 to enlighten us about navigating through God’s vision for our lives. He asserts that although our vision may tarry, we should wait for it. He goes on to reveal that there are things that God put inside of us that He wants us to have, which the devil perverts through religion, throwing us off the course. However, we can break out of our containment by drowning ourselves in God’s word because it’s His wish that we excel in the gifts He has blessed us with.
Additionally, he explains that revelatory moments should not be interpreted on the spot unless it’s a word of knowledge; thus we must employ faith and patience to get a clearer interpretation of the revelation to attain the promise. He then makes us understand that God knows us more than we do and will give us everything we never knew we wanted.
