WALKING IN THE POWER AND FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT



REMOVING FEARS


INTRODUCTION
This course has been compiled to help Christians to release the potential power of
the Holy Spirit. Dealing with the gifts of the Spirit and the fruits of the Spirit, it
provides the foundation for believers to lead a Spirit led lifestyle.

Its a principle that I have not emphasized enough on this website: but the truth is, God is looking for EMPTY vessels to fill. “Blessed are the poor in spirit [the spiritual beggars], for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 5:3).

No matter how much we have received from God, God must remain our source of initiative, life and power. We cannot trust in what we have received already – be it money, anointing, connections, knowledge, income streams, or people. If we trust in those things, we may lose them.

Acts 1:8 declares, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”

The fulfillment of that prophetic word is recorded in Acts 2:4 when a rag-tag group of refugees met in an upstairs room in Jerusalem. It states, “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Jesus said, "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this
mountain, ‘Be removed and cast into the sea’ and does not doubt in his heart,
but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever
he says." (Mark 11:23). It is amazing to have the power to have "what
you say" and this power is available to "whoever believes".

The operation of spiritual power requires faith. It may be faith in God, or
faith in something else linked to the power of the devil, but faith is always
involved.
