My
message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not
rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. – 1 Corinthians 2:4
From
many hearts there is rising a cry for more power – more power in our
personal conflicts with the world, the flesh, and the devil, and more
power in our work for others. The Bible makes the way to
obtain this longed-for power very plain. The Bible tells us how and the
Bible was intended to be understood. If we will only make personal trial
of the power of the Word of God, the power of the blood of Christ, the
power of the Holy Spirit, the power of prayer, and the power of a
surrendered life, then we will know the fullness of power in Christian
life and service. We will make this clear in the following chapters.
There
are many people who do not know that there is a life of abiding rest,
joy, satisfaction, and power. There are many other people who, while
they think there must be something beyond the life they know, do not
know how to obtain it. This book is written to help them.
