Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this message, Pastor Bobby Schuller encourages believers to step into supernatural faith and be clothed with the power of the Holy Spirit. Emphasizing that God's Word remains entirely active today, he challenges the Church to reject passive resignation and align their expectations with Scripture. By immersing ourselves in God's written word and understanding His true will, believers can operate in authority, witness miracles, and stand firm as spiritual victors.

Key Points

1.
Jesus instructed His disciples not to step out into ministry until they were clothed with spiritual power from the Holy Spirit.
2.
Supernatural signs and authority are meant to accompany those who actively believe God's word.
3.
Believers must unlearn the false idea that miraculous gifts were only meant for the early church; God's word never fails or expires.
4.
Scripture alone (sola scriptura) is the final authority for Christian faith and practice, and the church must submit to the Word.
5.
Faith is not built by passive waiting or mere wishing, but by repeatedly hearing and declaring the spoken and written Word of God.
6.
Faith begins where the will of God is known, requiring believers to study Scripture to understand what God actually desires.
7.
Not everything that happens on earth is God's will, which is why Christians pray for His kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven.
8.
Satan seeks to disfigure and destroy human lives because human beings carry the image of God.
9.
Believers are seated with Christ far above every demonic power and principality and are called to exercise spiritual authority.

Sermon Moments

“Don't preach the gospel until you get the wonder-working power of the Holy Spirit.”

“No word from God will ever fail. Keyword, ever. Never ever. No word from God will ever fail.”

“The church submits to the scripture, not the other way around.”

“Faith doesn't just come by hoping for it. It doesn't even come by asking for it. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.”

“Faith begins where the will of God is known. If you don't know the will of God, you won't have faith.”

“Satan can't kill God, but he takes the image of God in people and seeks to disfigure it because he hates God.”

“We have to believe that God's will is not happening on earth. That's why we pray, 'On earth as it is in heaven.'”

This Week

Read and meditate on the Bible daily to build faith, since faith comes by hearing God's word.

Stop qualifying God's promises; stand boldly in prayer believing that He desires to move today.

Eagerly desire and pray for spiritual gifts, including prophecy, as instructed in 1 Corinthians 14:1.

Pray persistently for physical healing and restoration, trusting that God's word remains active and true.

Refuse to accept brokenness, sin, or oppression as God's will, recognizing that Jesus called believers to push back darkness.

Seek to be clothed with the power of the Holy Spirit before stepping out to serve and minister to others.

Declare God's written promises over your life, home, and community throughout the coming week.

Remember This

True faith is cultivated by immersing oneself in the Word of God and boldly believing that His promises and supernatural power are active today.

A Challenge for You

God's will is not happening in this area. We're going to get at this spiritually. We're fighters, we're believers, we're faith people. That's what we do.
