CHAPTER 18
HOW TO EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF GOD;Spiritual power is not something you work up through emotion. You do not produce it with
Scriptural learning. Even knowledge of Biblical power principles will not guarantee receiving
spiritual power.
Spiritual power flows from its source. Jesus is compared to a vine. You are a spiritual branch.
You cannot produce power in yourself. He is the life flow from which the power comes. Just let
His power flow through you:
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the
same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
(John 15:5)
Here are SOME Biblical guidelines for experiencing the endument of power:
1. FAST AND PRAY:
Come before God and humble yourself through fasting and prayer. God has promised to hear
when we come before Him in this attitude:
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear
from Heaven. . . (II Chronicles 7:14)
Do not pursue power itself. Through prayer and fasting prepare yourself as a channel through
which God’s power can flow.
2. RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST:
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.
(Acts 1:8)
3. EXERCISE FAITH:
By faith, accept His promise of power:
Behold, I give unto you power. . . over all the power of the enemy. . .
(Luke 10:19)
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen. (Hebrews 11:1)
