Have you ever felt the desire to flow in the power and the gifts of the Holy Spirit?<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve ever been in a service where the power of God was operating freely, where people were encountering Him, being healed, delivered and set free \u2013 for many of you, you would have experienced a deep yearning to minister like that.<\/p>\n
For those of you who have a desire to flow in the supernatural and to see the power of God flow through your very life, I want to encourage you to continue reading\u2026<\/p>\n
1. Revelation and Understanding<\/strong><\/p>\n \n First \u2013 it\u2019s important to realise that in order for you to demonstrate something, you first need to have experienced it yourself.<\/p>\n You cannot demonstrate to someone how to grow a business, or fix a car, unless you have first done it yourself.<\/p>\n The same applies with the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n The\u2029 supernatural power of the Holy Spirit \u2029must \u2029first be \u2029experienced and understood before you can demonstrate it.<\/p>\n The Holy Spirit is not only the Spirit of God, and part of the trinity, but He is also the Author of the Word of God. This is why those who aren\u2019t filled with the Holy Spirit will struggle to understand the Bible \u2013 and certainly, will not be able to get revelation.<\/p>\n To be a mature and healthy believer, you need a balance of both the Word of God and the Spirit of God. You cannot have one without the other, because they complement each other.<\/p>\n Therefore, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and in a place where you can demonstrate His power to those around you, you need revelation and<\/i> understanding of the Word of God.<\/p>\n Revelation and understanding will separate you from quoting scripture mechanically to speaking with the authority of heaven, where souls get saved and demons tremble.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This word \u201cendued\u201d literally means to be clothed with power. This power also includes knowledge and divine abilities. It literally means to receive God-like ability and knowledge.<\/p>\n 2. The Presence of God<\/strong><\/p>\n This is where relationship with God is so crucial, and is one of the keys which separates Christianity from any other religion.<\/p>\n It\u2019s one thing to know God\u2019s Word and to be able to recite Bible verses \u2013 many can do this, yet nothing is changing in their lives. The determining factor in whether something will change when we speak is locked up in knowing God.<\/p>\n The presence of God is a necessity to effectively impart the Word of God and His power to another person. The Word must come out of His Holy Presence.<\/p>\n When\u2029 we\u2029 have\u2029 an \u2029experience \u2029with \u2029God\u2019s supernatural \u2029knowledge and ability, and are divine carriers of His presence and glory, \u2029we \u2029can now begin to describe, \u2029teach, \u2029and \u2029impart \u2029it \u2029with \u2029precision, confidence and demonstration.<\/p>\n This is when we begin to see transformation in the lives of those around us.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2029 is\u2029 not enough\u2029 to\u2029 have\u2029 the\u2029 right\u2029 words alone. Many can talk the talk. We\u2029 need\u2029 the\u2029 actions,\u2029 the\u2029 concrete\u2029 works, and the demonstration of power to correspond with\u2029 what\u2029 we\u2029 preach.<\/p>\n Many assume that the power of God is simply being able to heal the sick or raise the dead, and all of these are indeed the power of God, but there is nothing more dangerous in the Kingdom of God than a person who is filled with the Word of God, revelation and understanding, carrying an atmosphere of His presence with them, and then moving in a realm of supernatural power.<\/p>\n I am going to briefly share with you the 3 steps to accessing the power of the Holy Ghost in your life, just as I have.<\/p>\n From the day I began to apply these keys, I experienced a drastic turnaround in my personal life, in my walk with God, and in my ministry.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First, it\u2019s very important to realise that it\u2019s the supernatural power of God that distinguish Christianity from any other religion.<\/p>\n When you can pray for someone and they feel His presence for the first time, or they get healed, or they receive a Word of Knowledge that you could possibly never have known \u2013 suddenly you have their attention.<\/p>\n A demonstration is never linked to theory alone, but to application of that theory.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Therefore, the method to manifest and demonstrate the power of God is that it should speak to the five senses of the person to who you are ministering.<\/p>\n For\u2029 example,\u2029 the\u2029 blind\u2029 can\u2029 receive\u2029 their\u2029 sight,\u2029 the\u2029 deaf\u2029 can receive\u2029 their\u2029 hearing,\u2029 those\u2029 oppressed\u2029 by\u2029 demons\u2029 can\u2029 be\u2029 set\u2029 free\u2029 and experience\u2029 release\u2029 from\u2029 bondage,\u2029 and\u2029 those\u2029 confined\u2029 to\u2029 a\u2029 wheelchair\u2029 for years\u2029 can \u2029be \u2029healed\u2029 and \u2029walk \u2029again \u2013 \u2029all \u2029by \u2029the \u2029power \u2029and\u2029 love \u2029of \u2029God.<\/p>\n They will be able to physically and tangibly experience the power!<\/p>\n 2. The Condition to Demonstrate His Power?<\/b><\/p>\n As I mentioned at the start of this article, it\u2019s important that we \u2029understand \u2029that\u2029 before\u2029 the\u2029 power\u2029 of \u2029God \u2029comes\u2029 upon \u2029us, \u2029we need to receive revelation of \u2029His \u2029Word.<\/p>\n When \u2029God\u2029 sends \u2029His \u2029Word \u2029and someone\u2029 receives\u2029 it\u2029 through\u2029 revelation,\u2029 He\u2029 backs\u2029 it\u2029 up\u2029 with\u2029 His\u2029 power.<\/p>\n \n The\u2029 condition\u2029 for \u2029manifesting \u2029supernatural \u2029power \u2029is \u2029the revelation\u2029 of \u2029knowledge. \u2029Without \u2029a\u2029 demonstration, \u2029the revelation\u2029 has \u2029no \u2029credibility.<\/p>\n Every\u2029 spiritual\u2029 reality\u2029 should\u2029 be\u2029 demonstrated\u2029 in\u2029 the\u2029 natural. Afterall, this is the differentiating factor between Christianity and any other dead religion.<\/p>\n If\u2029 what\u2029 we preach\u2029 is\u2029 as we say it to be, then we should be able to prove it \u2013 through demonstration!<\/p>\n \u00a03.\u00a0The Need and Importance of Demonstrating His Power?<\/strong><\/p>\n I will give you six of the main reasons why Christ so desires for you to walk in His power.<\/p>\n A.\u00a0 To show that Jesus is alive \u2013 here and now. \u2013 Acts 3:11-16, 2 Corinthians 4:10-11<\/b> If the enemy has ever lied to you that you aren\u2019t deserving of the power of the<\/p>\n Holy Ghost, and that the ability to operate in the supernatural power of God is only reserved for those in full-time ministry, then these few points above can completely annihilate those lies.<\/p>\n Whatever has been limiting you from operating in the power of the Holy Spirit, I declare and decree that it will be dealt with right now, in Jesus Name!<\/p>\n As a Prophet, I declare that a hunger for His Presence and His Word shall be ignited on the inside of you like never before.<\/p>\n May the Spirit of Revelation and Understanding come upon you, His presence begin to increase like never before, and for His Power to flow forth from your life.

\n
\nB. To demonstrate that Jesus never changes; He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. \u2013 Hebrews 13:8<\/b>
\nC. The power of God is proof that Jesus will return \u2013 Acts 1:11<\/b>
\nD. To confirm that the Word of God is true. \u2013 2 Samuel 7:28, John 17:17<\/b>
\nE. The power proves God\u2019s integrity. \u2013 Numbers 23:19, Mark 16:20<\/b>
\nF. Because \u2029the \u2029power\u2029 confronts \u2029and \u2029subjugates \u2029Satan; \u2029it \u2029is \u2029the \u2029proof\u2029 that his \u2029occupation \u2029on \u2029earth \u2029has \u2029ended\u2029 and \u2029the \u2029government \u2029of \u2029God\u2029 has been \u2029established. \u2029The\u2029 kingdom\u2029 of \u2029God \u2029pushes \u2029out \u2029the \u2029enemy \u2029and \u2029his kingdom\u2029 of \u2029darkness\u2029 wherever \u2029they \u2029seek\u2029 to \u2029gain \u2029control.\u2029 – \u2029Luke\u2029 10:19; \u202911:20; \u20291\u2029 John \u20293:8.<\/b><\/p>\n
