Electricity is an excellent illustration of this power. When we built our meeting hallin Anaheim, electricity was installed. Now electrical power is toward the building.
Itis up to us whether or not we use this power, and we use it by turning on theswitch. Likewise, the heavenly electricity has been installed in us, and the heavenlypower is toward us. The way to receive this power is not to fast and pray forseveral days; it is simply to use the switch.
One way to practice using the switchis to speak Ephesians 1:19-23 again and again. If we speak these verses ten times,we shall be empowered. However, if you repeatedly say that you are weak, you willin fact be weak.
But by speaking positively in faith, we exercise our whole being toreceive the divine power. When we speak in faith and receive the power, allnegative things flee away. Satan is not afraid of our pitiful, begging prayers, buthe is afraid of our speaking in faith.
This is not superstition; it is our Christianfaith. Regarding faith, there must first be the fact. God comes in to tell us aboutthe fact, and then we believe what God says.
Through His holy Word God comesin to tell us of these facts. Then we believe what God has spoken and speakwhatever God speaks. This is faith.
