We should do things the same way that Paul did them, not relying on our own abilities or own wisdom. We should rely on the power of God and the demonstration of the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 (KJV) And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
People want evidence that there is a God. The evidence is all around us. What people really need is a renewing of their mind so that they can see clearly who He is and what He has created.
James 5:16b (AMPC) The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].
Most of us have not experienced that level of God’s power. But, let me tell you, it is available. It should be an every day occurrence in the life of a believer.
Jesus willingly gave His life so that we could have an inheritance. We should walk in everything that He purchased for us.
God is honor bound to His Word. This is what He will watch over to perform when spoken in faith out of the heart and the mouth of a believer.
Whatever you need to do to hold fast to the Bible, do it. Let the Bible be your stabilizer, trusting it above everything else.
What is prayer? It is addressing God with adoration, confession, supplication, thanksgiving, or an humble request. It doesn’t need to be loud. It doesn’t require a religious tone.
John 15:7 If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Can you ask for anything? No. You can’t ask for someone else’s house or car or spouse. Your request needs to line up with the Word of God.
This is why we need to study the Word to see what it says can and does belong to us.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
The Word of Faith movement took a nasty hit because unlearned or unscrupulous people took hold of a true principle and tried to use it for nefarious gain.
We don’t have the right, it’s devilish, to be jealous of somebody else’s position in life.

If we have the nature and love of God - we do, it’s in us - we will never seek what belongs to somebody else.
Jesus was true to the Father’s plan. We should be too.
