Join Joseph Z in today’s insightful teaching, as he highlights the contrast between a natural perspective and a faith-driven, spiritual viewpoint. He warns against doubt and hypocrisy, emphasizing the importance of living in alignment with God's Spirit by anchoring ourselves in the scripture.
Joseph explains that while humans tend to see the world from a natural perspective, God operates through faith. When we view our circumstances naturally, we will receive natural outcomes. However, when we adopt a spiritual perspective, we can expect supernatural results. He emphasizes that reading God’s word in faith allows it to grow within us and produce the fruits of righteousness. This, in turn, encourages us to walk in both word and spirit to achieve breakthroughs in every area of our lives.

He further clarifies that God desires us to operate in faith. We should not allow ourselves to be guided by a carnal viewpoint but rather embrace a perspective filled with God's Spirit. Joseph warns against being like Thomas, who doubted God's promises, and reminds us that blessed are those who believe without seeing. He references Romans 8:5-9, which states that being carnally minded leads to death, while being spiritually minded brings life and peace. Therefore, anyone who does not possess the Spirit of God is not truly of God.
Joseph also points out that if we do not anchor ourselves in God’s word while using our gifts, we risk making errors. He warns against hypocrisy, which occurs when we attempt to be spiritual without adhering to God’s word or develop our own methods of engaging with the spiritual realm while being carnally minded. He clarifies that possessing a spirit of discernment without submission to God’s word can lead to suspicion. He urges us to read God’s word consistently to experience the fullness of what God has in store for us.
