Book Description:
The
Spirit that is within me that leads and guides me into all truth is again
personified when I receive Christ as my Lord and Savior. The Spirit that is
upon me after I ask for him is how I receive power. How could I believe that he
would come upon me if I have not really received first that he dwells within
me? This is what I wrestled with for many years. The problem was, I really
didn’t believe the way I thought; And and maybe I also didn’t understand the
purpose of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Bottom line, now that I
think about it, I just didn’t believe right.
Book Excerpt:
CHAPTER 4
Study
to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not
to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth.
—(2 Timothy 2:15)
Studying, studying, and studying;
I was studying everything I could get my hands on to try and grow in the knowledge and understanding of God's word. I didn't just study the good stuff, I even looked at that questionable material written in the name of the Lord, but certainly not inspired by God. I did this just to get a feel for everything.

Because God
is still giving revelation to men and women in the gospel, there are many
anointed audios, videos, and books out there that have helped to shape my
understanding of God’s work for my ministry. Still, there has always been something missing.
I tried to make myself believe
that the something was not having a close mentor, or maybe it was my
immaturity in the role as a pastor. Maybe my tenure of just five years in the
ministry was to blame. Whatever it was, I knew without a shadow of a
doubt that something vital was missing in my walk with God.
