Red Church: Are We Witnessing the End Times?

**Whatever is born of God overcomes the culture, society, and the public.** In Red Church today, Joseph Z shows how Jesus fulfilled the law, freeing us to live by faith through the Spirit. He exposes how victory over the flesh comes by God's word, and not human effort. 

Joseph emphasizes that Jesus did not come to simply improve our ability to keep the commandments, but rather to free us from the bondage of the law, which is now fulfilled in Christ Jesus. He clarifies that the righteousness of God in Christ has satisfied the requirements of the law and that the Father requires us to believe in His Son to be saved. He illustrates this with 1 John 5:3-4, which assures us that everyone born of God overcomes the world, and that our faith is the victory that allows us to do so. When we rely on the strength God provides, we begin to walk in the Spirit, which empowers us to resist the desires of the flesh.

He explains that the flesh represents a mindset that is contrary to God’s word, emphasizing that we cannot defeat the flesh through our efforts but only by the works of the Spirit. When we immerse ourselves in God’s word, it transforms our mindset, allowing us to walk in the Spirit and overcome our fleshly desires. Joseph insists that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, urging us to embrace the foundational truths of what Jesus has accomplished for us to see results in our lives. Notably, he informs us that the church acts as a powerful restrainer against the forces of darkness because, as Christ is, so are we in this world.

Joseph stresses the importance of standing firm on God’s word, despite the trials and challenges the enemy may present. He recounts numerous difficulties he faced within his household and how clinging to God’s word led them to victory. He emphasizes that God hears even the faintest cry of those who diligently seek Him, referencing the story of Mary Magdalene at the tomb of Jesus to reinforce his point. Mary interrupted Jesus’ parade as illustrated in Psalm 24 with her persistent cries for Him. In this way, Joseph insists that we can alter things through our prayers and intercession.

Joseph further references Galatians 1:3, reminding us that Jesus came to deliver us from this present evil age. He reveals that the seeds of evil sown throughout the world will soon be confronted by the spirit of Elijah. Furthermore, he assures us that we cannot be defeated by the gates of hell if we are in the body of Christ because the Church will not be overcome by the Antichrist.
