Chapter 11: power principle five: power, faith, and works.
Text:Acts.6.8 – Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed amazing miracles and signs among the people.
Power must operate in faith in order to work the work of God. Faith is man’s response to God’s power.
Faith means to believe and have assurance of something. Faith is not something you can develop yourself. It is a spiritual fruit developed in your life by the holy Spirit. Faith as a fruit of character. It is an attitude towards God. It’s developed through the process of His life within you bringing spiritual growth.
While everyone does not have the gift of faith, the fruit of faith should be evident in the lives of all believers. It is necessary quality in order to experience spiritual power.
We have saving faith which involves true repentance from sin. You must hear, believe and personally accept the message of the Gospel. Saving faith requires a personal response towards God.
