**Torment is not the inheritance of a believer; freedom is.** Break torment off your life, as Pastor Todd Coconato shares ways to achieve our freedom and break torment and anxiety from our lives. You will learn how to take your thoughts captive, renew your mind daily, and embrace the truth from Scripture to overcome mental torment. 
Pastor Todd teaches that freedom is a believer's inheritance, not torment. He cites 2 Timothy 1:7, which reminds us that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. He stresses that torment is not from God, and anything not from God does not have the legal right to remain.

He highlights ways to break free from the torment of the mind, encouraging us to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, as not every thought that enters the mind belongs there. He stresses that every thought that is not of God should be rejected. He advises renewing our minds daily, as a mind filled with fear will face torment, while a mind filled with truth will produce peace. He insists that we can come into the place of peace that passes all understanding, urging us to refuse agreement with a lie, citing John 8:32, which states that we shall know the truth and it shall set us free. 
Pastor Todd continues to highlight the various ways to overcome the torment of the mind, emphasizing guarding what enters our minds, as Proverbs 4:23 has commanded us to keep our hearts with all diligence, because constant exposure to negativity will feed our hearts with torment. He goes on to encourage us to speak the word out loud, as it shifts the atmosphere and silences the enemy's voice. He also encourages submitting to God and resisting the enemy, explaining that the enemy does not leave based on feelings, but rather, he leaves based on authority.
He further emphasizes worship amid challenges, as praise shifts the focus from the problem to God's presence, and torment can't remain where God is enthroned. He also highlights the need to bring hidden things into the light, be accountable, and be teachable, while urging us to stay filled with the spirit of God, as a life that is fed with the flesh will struggle, but a life that is fed with God's spirit will have strength and clarity. He concludes by encouraging us to stand by our identity in Christ, as we're children of God with authority, and when identity is understood, torment loses its grip.

**Do you only walk with God in the midst of comfortable things?** Join Joseph Z and special guests Troy Brewer and Alan Didio as they explore the roles tradition, experience, scripture, and reason play in a believer's life. They warn of imminent disclosures, a test of loyalty to God, and the potential for new expressions of faith. 
Joseph discusses the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, which succinctly summarizes the life of a believer. It consists of tradition, experience, scripture, and reason, all of which play a vital role in a believer's journey. He explains that when faced with a view that contradicts their tradition, many believers revert to established beliefs instead of consulting scripture to discern the truth. This can lead them to neglect their personal experiences and to attempt to align God's word with their traditions.

Troy responds to the theme of this year being one of disclosures by identifying two types of Christians: those who walk with God amid challenging circumstances and those who can only walk with Him when they are comfortable. He asserts that the rationale derived from our experiences is about to be challenged.
He also draws parallels between the biblical accounts of the Tower of Babel and idol worship and what we are beginning to witness regarding recent UFO disclosures. Troy emphasizes that our entire lives are viewed in eternity as a test of loyalty to King Jesus, warning that a significant test of loyalty is approaching, which will reveal whether we stand with God.
Joseph warns that the ultimate disclosure is imminent, while Troy believes we are on the verge of exercising faith in areas we have never exercised it before. He anticipates that we will begin to witness the power of God and the fruits of the Holy Spirit in unconventional realms that are essential for our times.

In Red Church today, Joseph Z explores the four prophetic flows, highlighting ways to achieve prophetic clarity and emphasizing the necessity of engaging with God's Word to activate our gifts. He also shares a prophetic word for 2027 and 2028. 
Joseph outlines four distinct prophetic flows: Roeh (a visionary leader with a prophetic gift), Nabi (the herald, known for extemporaneous preaching), Chazah (to gaze or stare), and Chozeh (to lean forward and peer into the future). He explains that within these gifts, there are variations in strength; individuals can operate in multiple gifts but may excel in one. He also teaches that revelation requires interpretation for proper application.

He points out that prophecies do not always unfold exactly as predicted, citing the biblical prophets Ezekiel and Jeremiah. Both prophesied concerning King Zedekiah; Ezekiel stated he would not see Babylon, while Jeremiah revealed he would die there. Notably, King Zedekiah had his eyes gouged out and was taken to Babylon, where he spent the remainder of his life. He stresses that prophecies may differ in interpretation but are always redemptive. 
Furthermore, Joseph emphasizes that our gifts become more vibrant when we consistently engage with God's Word, allowing it to influence every aspect of our lives. He conveys that God desires for us to recognize our moments of visitation, to submit to one another, and to live humbly to fulfill His will on earth. He shares his vision of redemptive instability, in which God promises to preserve us amid turmoil, much as He preserved Noah and his family.
He firmly believes that revival and reformation will emerge during these challenging times, leading to a new and different America. He concludes by reminding us that we are anointed to face challenges, preach the gospel, and bring about change in our surroundings.

**I want you to tell my Church, "I am the Alpha and the Omega".** Join Joseph and Heather Z alongside Robert Hotchkin in today's inspiring broadcast, as they discuss the Church's maturity and empowerment to build God's kingdom. They highlight the importance of understanding our identity in Christ, emphasizing living in the present tense of God's provision and action.
Robert shares a message from God intended for the entire body of Christ, urging the church to wake up, grow up, and empower itself so that we can build the things of the kingdom. He emphasizes that God desires our maturation and cooperation for the sake of the gospel and the body of Christ. For the past twenty to thirty years, God has reminded us of His identity, but now He is reminding us of our own identity, so we can recognize that we are part of the solution. Heather supports this idea, explaining that when we understand our identity in Christ and experience God's unfathomable love for us, we become unstoppable.

He discusses his newly published book, "The Now of God," which elaborates on the concept that everything about God exists in the present tense. With this understanding, we can develop an unstoppable faith, declaring what is in the "I Am" as part of our role within time. He stresses that we exist in the "I Am" of God, seated with Christ in heavenly places right now, and that the kingdom of God dwells within us. This understanding will prevent us from passively waiting on God to act, instead encouraging us to recognize all that He has already done. Our role is to cooperate with Him and declare His works, which will accelerate our desires.
Robert distinguishes between waiting on God and stepping into the "now" of God. He reveals that the more time we spend with the "I Am," the more we align ourselves with His presence, where everything exists. He clarifies that waiting on the Lord means seeking His direction before acting on our desires, rather than waiting for Him to take action. He further explains that we are meant to do what Christ has done on Earth, operating from heaven to influence our world.
Heather emphasizes that the provision we need is already available amidst our circumstances; we are not searching for something to manifest because everything is already provided in the "I Am." Robert also notes that during times of confusion and anger, it is easy to harden our hearts and close our ears to the Lord, which may lead us to miss our redemptive moments.
