Summary

In this message, Pastor Bobby Schuller teaches on the gifts of power—faith, healing, and miracles—and how believers are called to operate in divine authority. By standing firm on God's written Word rather than relying on natural circumstances, believers fuel supernatural faith through daily scripture meditation. When we step out in living faith and lay hands on the sick in obedience, the Holy Spirit releases miraculous healing and transformation.

3.
The Holy Spirit is a personal Advocate, Comforter, Counselor, Strengthener, Helper, and Standby who dwells within believers.

Supernatural faith is not emotional passion or begging, but a calm, relaxed confidence that God's Word will come to pass.
5.
Faith is a spiritual substance that comes from consistently hearing, reading, and meditating on the Word of God day and night.

True faith takes its stand on "It is written" when natural circumstances declare "It looks like."

It is always God's will to heal the sick, and believers are commanded by Jesus to lay hands on the sick in faith.

Meditate on God's Word daily every morning and evening to continually build and refuel your faith.

Stand firm on scripture by declaring "It is written" whenever fear, sickness, or bad reports arise in the natural.

Proclaim your identity as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus rather than identifying as a defeated sinner.

Pray for the sick with authority by laying hands on them and commanding healing in Jesus' name.

Put living faith into action after praying for someone by encouraging them to do what they could not do before.

Rely on the Holy Spirit daily as your personal Advocate, Counselor, Strengthener, and Standby.

Gather regularly with your church community to remain aligned and bound together in faith for miracles.

Remember This

Supernatural faith comes by standing firmly on God's written Word, empowering believers through the Holy Spirit to lay hands on the sick and command healing with divine authority.
