"You have the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead, dwelling in you; thus, you're highly loaded and dangerous to the kingdom of darkness".

In Red Church Today, Joseph teaches about the fundamentals of knowing God, reminding us that God is not mad at us but poured all His wrath upon His son, Jesus, so that we may enjoy abundant life in Him. He informs us that we can't be Jesus's disciple without being a disciple of His word because a disciple is a disciplined follower of Jesus and His word. Also, he explains that the word of God and the spirit create maturity in God's knowledge. He references the Book of Ephesians 4:9-11 to remind us that the gifts of Jesus were for the edifying and equipping of the saints.

Next, Joseph makes us understand that we can not become mature believers if we do not have the word of God in us or pray fervently in the spirit. He also leads us to the Book of Psalm 84:5-6, to teach that blessed are those whose strength is in God because God's word will blow the way open for them despite the situations they find themselves in. Again, he brings to our understanding that, how we deal with people is the benchmark of our maturity, and to achieve this maturity, we must read God's word consistently until it shapes our behaviors in alignment with God's plan for our lives.

Joseph further explains maturity as when we love people the way Jesus does but not through the flesh as religion demands. He clarifies that it's impossible to be Christlike without God's word because mature people in Jesus spend time in God's word. He elaborates that when we become mature in God, our presence begins to demand an explanation, demons flee, and people heal; but religion is destructive because it bows us down like a slave. In addition, he informs us that we have the same spirit that raised Christ from death dwelling in us, and He will quicken our mortal flesh; thus, we're highly loaded and dangerous to the kingdom of darkness.
