Joseph emphasizes that we will begin to walk in the reality of everything we’ve sown in tears. He underscores the importance of obedience in our relationship with God, noting that if we take on the difficult tasks, God will handle the impossible. He assures us that our Plan B will turn out even better than Plan A, insisting that we will experience a supernatural wealth transfer in this season. Referencing Psalm 126, he stresses that everything we have sown in tears will be reaped in songs of joy. He also cites Psalm 84:5-7 to assure us that the Spirit of God will dismantle the thorns and thistles holding us back as many of us navigate the valley of Baka.
He reminds us that God has called us to rise in faith and push back against evil in our various realms, drawing on the story of Elisha and King Joash to encourage us to strike the ground repeatedly until we completely vanquish our enemies and achieve victory. He describes the journey of any movement, which goes through several phases: a birthing phase, a developmental phase, and ultimately maturity. Once mature, a movement can transition from a revelation to an institution, and this process can drain the life and value from the original revelation.
Joseph clarifies that we can recognize when a movement has become institutionalized by observing that conversations begin to focus more on the past than on the future, a shift that often leads to decline. However, this decline can be prevented by following the teachings of Proverbs 20:28-29. He highlights the importance of sharing wisdom and strength across generations to maintain a movement and avoid decline. The older generation should equip the younger generation with wisdom, while the younger generation offers its strength. This mutual exchange, sharing wisdom for strength, helps preserve a lasting legacy.
