In his words, "God does nothing without His Word. He speaks to us through His Word, by His Spirit. Jesus Christ was the first Helper, first Comforter. The Holy Spirit is another Helper, Comforter. In the absence of Jesus, the Holy Spirit was to be sent."

Next, Prophet Joshua tells his congregation how to be to filled with the Holy Spirit.

"All that are baptized in the Holy Ghost are filled with the Holy Ghost. To be filled by the Spirit is an optional matter. To be baptized in the Spirit - total submission. The baptizing experience of the Holy Ghost will not leave man's spirit free - in every moment, in every step, suggestion must come from the Spirit," he notes.

He concludes by talking about how the Holy Spirit works inside human beings.

"Acts 13:52 - "The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit". Could we not say - all who are baptized in the Holy Spirit are filled with the Holy Spirit but not all who are filled with the Holy Spirit are baptized in the Holy Spirit? The baptizing experience of the Holy Spirit would not leave man's spirit free to choose - that is while under the complete dominion of the Holy Spirit - whereas the fullness of Spirit is an optional matter,"Prophet Joshua teaches.
