The Power of Faith

We are full of the power of the Holy Spirit. Let me tell you something about the Holy Spirit! Before Jesus Christ went to heaven, before his ascension to heaven, he said to his disciples, Don't go out and preach yet! He said, Wait for what the father promised (the Holy Spirit to come into your life). He told them, Don't leave Jerusalem; stay there and don't preach until the Holy Spirit comes into your life. Then he said to them, You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes. Acts 1:8, “But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.”What is power? The word translated as power in the New Testament is the Greek word “Dunamis.” It means the ability to effect a change. It is wonder-working ability or power. It is miracle-working ability. That means an ability to do the impossible. It refers to an ability to perform outstanding and amazing miracles and wonders. Jesus said to them, Wait until that power comes—the ability to do the impossible. A supernatural ability. It is the creative ability of God. You need to have the creative ability of God. The scripture tells us that he created all things through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Life is faith. Faith can never be negative. Faith, always be positive. Faith brings good results. Faith always says “yes!” Faith can never say no! Faith says yes when everything says no! Faith encourages when everything discourages. Faith keeps you moving when all life is no longer there. Faith says yes when you have been abandoned. Faith is life, and life is faith. Without faith, nobody can survive. The scripture says in the book of 1 Timothy 6:12, “Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold of the eternal life to which you were summoned and [for which] you confessed the good confession [of faith] before many witnesses.”
