More than conquerors (The supply of the spirit)
By Apostle Joshua Selman

When we read the bible it gives us a picture of how our lives should be.

Some challenges come as an a result of increase(progress)

Romans 8:37, 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

The believer in Christ can turn any situation to his advantage.

Romans 6:25, 30

John 11:, Philippians 4:19, Philippians 1:19

Prayer is a call to responsibility.

The foundation for prayer is not the presence of Satan, needs, or expectation - When man gave men dominion, he gave man a will, and so it became scripturally incorrect for God to interfere into his life without you verbalizing your need for His assistance.

The highest demonstration of pride is prayerlessness

The spirit of the living God has a ministry to:

1. To the entire creation - anywhere you see life on earth
2. To unbelievers - Conviction of sinners
3. To the church - the body of believers

The supply of the spirit represents all the spiritual resources that can become an advantage to the believer - they are responsible for making the glory of the Lord manifested in the believer's life - making all grace abound and commanding consistent result regardless of the circumstance.

The devil is not interested in relationships, but God wants you to know His heart before you know His hand. So to the degree to which you invest in having a functional relationship with the holy spirit - through prayers, heartfelt worship, and the study of the word.

4 supplies of the spirit

1. Strength in the inner-man Ephesians 3:16, Isaiah 40:29-31

   Strength is the supernatural capacity to endure unfavorable condition until victory manifests2 Corinthians 12:8-9

   Strength also translates to grace for consistency

3. The faith of God. Faith in God(His person) means believing in God and His promises and then obtaining results.

   The faith of God is a grace and under its influence, everything you declare must come to pass

4. Supernatural power Luke 1:34-35
