Change the Outcome - Voice of God with Joseph Z

Does God have favorites? Join Joseph Z as he explores how to become one of God’s favorites, overcome adversity, and thrive in difficult times.

Joseph teaches that being favored by God is based on our understanding of Him. For example, John recognized that God loved him just as He loved Jesus. Embracing this love allowed John to endure longer than his brother James and other apostles, even though they all faced similar challenges.

Joseph reminds us that all who diligently follow Christ will face persecution, even though Christ came to deliver us from this present evil age, as stated in Galatians 1:4. He clarifies that while we may be delivered from many hardships, persecution is often not one of them. Interestingly, John lived many years and witnessed the destruction of Jerusalem, during which time most Christians had already fled at the Lord's warning and were preserved because they heeded His words.

Joseph emphasizes that God always provides a way of escape in times of trouble, and when we follow His guidance, we can experience abundant life. He illustrates this with John's remarkable survival after being boiled in hot oil; John's deep belief in God's love for him enabled him to endure and thrive in adversity. 

In conclusion, Joseph reassures us that as followers of Christ, we will undoubtedly face persecution, but like John, we can overcome it by holding on to God’s love for us.
