Lesson 1

Gifts of the Spirit

Lesson Objective. To provide an overview of the Gifts of the Spirit and the manifestation of

New Testament miracles.

Lesson Overview.

Spiritual Gifts are one of the most misunderstood topics in the New Testament. The Lord

said His people perish for a lack of knowledge. The Bible says that even Jesus studied the Word,

and when He did, he grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Without a

direct deposit of the Word, you can’t have divine revelation, utterance, and the ability to walk in

power and demonstrations. Christians must study and rightly divide the Word, to show

themselves approved unto God. The Word says to earnestly covet the gifts and ask in faith,

believing you have received them.

The gifts are to equip the believer to walk in the supernatural and in the power and

demonstration of the Word. The Word says that there are a diversity of gifts and manifestations,

but they all come from the same Spirit. It also says these gifts are for the perfecting of the saints,

for the work of the ministry, and for the edification of the body of Christ. Therefore, while we

seek the gifts, they are not for us personally, but for the benefit of others.

There are nine spiritual gifts, or ways that the Lord manifests Himself . These gifts can

be broken into three major categories. They are the revelation gifts, the utterance gifts, and the

power gifts. Christians normally fall short in the power gifts because they won’t allow God to

work through them. To see the manifestation of these gifts in your life, you must stir the Holy

Spirit resident within you. Until you get a revelation of the identity and power within you, you


4

will not walk in the supernatural gifts. This revelation can only come from an intense study and

proper division of the Word, and an intimate prayer life.

Lesson 2

Power and Demonstration Flowing in the Holy Ghost

Lesson Objective. To understand how to flow with the Holy Spirit.

Lesson Overview.

The Word says to trust in the Lord with all your heart and not to lean on your own

understanding. We must learn to trust in the revelation knowledge of God’s Word and not the

natural. We know that we are more than conquerors all the time; sometimes we just don’t know

how our miracles will be manifested. The Word tells us that our faith should not stand in the

wisdom of man, but in the power of God. The true gift that God gives us is the Holy Spirit.

What we consider gifts is simply the manifestation of the Spirit.

As a believer, you should pursue an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit. The

reality is that there is no Gospel, or good news, without the Holy Spirit. Jesus said I must leave,

but my Father will send you a Comforter. It is the Holy Spirit which leads you in all truth, and

allows you to walk in power and demonstrations with signs following.

You can not flow in the anointing if you are not filled with the Holy Spirit, and you can

not be filled with the Holy Spirit if you are filled with doubt and unbelief. Nothing will stop the

flow of God in your life quicker than doubt or unbelief. The Holy Spirit will only move when

you have completely yielded yourself and are free from certain emotions, such as doubt and

unbelief, which only serve to suppress Him.


8

The Word tells us to stir up the gift that is within us. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to

lead us beyond what we think or know. Remember, you are the only person who can stop the

move of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Lesson 3

Power and Demonstrations of the Holy Ghost

Lesson Objective. To understand how to flow with the Holy Spirit.

Lesson Overview.

Jesus could not do one miracle without the anointing. We too can not experience God’s

miracles without the anointing. In order to operate in power and demonstration, the believer

must abide in the anointed one. Christ and the Word are one. The Word says that if you abide in

me, and my words abide in you, you can ask what you will and it will be done unto you. With

proper division of the logos, or written word, the believer can accurately flow in the Holy Ghost,

because he knows the will of God. Through the avenue of wisdom and revelation that comes

from God’s Word, we can receive and claim the benefits of the glory and power of God’s

anointing. The Bible says that Christ in us is the hope of glory, and we are partakers of His

divine nature. Once we have a revelation of this truth we will walk in power and demonstration.

We must do two things to live a supernatural life. First, we must be obedient to the

Word, and second, we must allow God’s Holy Spirit to control us. We must labor to enter into

His rest through the sacrifice of prayers and praise. We must learn to cease from our works so

that we can flow with the Holy Ghost. Experiential faith and anointing can only come through

intense fellowship with God.

Jesus said, I always do the things that please my Father. In other words, He made the

Father’s priority His priority. We need to learn how to make His priorities our priorities, so that

we can do His will. The Apostle Paul said that our faith should not stand in the wisdom of men


12

but in the power of God. That power, or the anointing, is resident in each believer, and is

released through faith.

Lesson 4

Power and Demonstrations of the Holy Ghost

Lesson Objective. To understand how to do the works Jesus commissioned us to do through

power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost.

Lesson Overview.

The kingdom of God is not in eloquent speech, but in power and demonstration of the

Holy Ghost. When the Word of promise is preached, it develops an expectation in those who

hear. People receive on the other end by faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the

Word of God.

When we walk in God’s perfect will, we have the Spirit in bountiful supply. We must

consistently believe for the overflow of anointing with fresh oil. Believers must pursue the

Gospel and potential in Christ far above where they are. Religious works mixed with faith

equals failure. However, when we mix our faith with the Word we will see the manifestation of

miracles. There is no ceiling to the excellency of God’s manifest power. By faith, we can rule

and reign full of the Holy Ghost and His Word. We can only limit Him through a lack of faith,

prayer, and knowledge of the Word.

The harvest is great and the laborers are few. Anointed men and women of God who

understand their authority will bring in the harvest. The only way to do the Word is to meditate

upon it, and then decide to act upon it. The Holy Ghost will go to work to supernaturally

manifest Himself through the Word. The Holy Ghost is the spiritual pilot within the believer.

He is alive to divine truth, which is the Word.


16

When we are born again, we are born of the Spirit of God. The believer receives power

when the Holy Ghost comes upon and immerses him in Holy Ghost and fire. Believers are the

temple and housing power of the most high God. Christ in us is the hope of Glory, the anointed

one, the miracle worker, and He equips us to do exploits for His kingdom. The Holy Spirit

enables us to expect beyond what we think or ask. He verifies, backs up, and performs His Word

as we make the necessary deposits and learn to flow with His anointing.

Lesson 5

Power and Demonstration of the Holy Ghost Still Small Voice

Lesson Objective. To understand the indwelling source of anointing and how to tap into the

wellspring to do signs and wonders.

Lesson Overview.

The Bible says to guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows all the issues of

life. As we stir up ourselves we have a wellspring of life, anointing, and miracle working power.

The still small voice is the voice of the Holy Spirit; in fact it is the Spirit of Christ living within

the believer. Ephesians 3:20 says that it is the power within us, or the anointing, which is the key

to God doing abundantly above what we ask or think. The anointing is recharged through

communion with God. The mantle, or anointing, comes to equip us to do our mission. The

Word says that steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord when the believer is in harmony

with the Spirit of God.

Just as the anointing lives within the believer, the believer should dwell in the anointing.

The anointing teaches us to grow up in Christ and to put away our childish behavior. To develop

your spirit man, you must invest effort into your spiritual growth. The responsibility for maturity

lies within yourself. We know we can grow because Christ said that we would do even greater

works than He. The milk of the Word refreshes and blesses, but carries no responsibility to

grow. It is the meat of the anointed Word which commands you to go forth and do the work of

God. It is the anointing within us that causes us to hear His voice. It is the still small voice we

hear that leads us to act in faith.


20

Jesus said out of your belly will flow rivers of living water. As the anointing abides in

the believer, the believer ought to continually abide in the anointing. Christ and the anointing are

one in the same. The Holy Spirit is committed to leading us into truth and revelation. The

anointing has the potential to teach us all spiritual truth. The provisions of Christ through God

come through our spirit. The wisdom of God lives in our Spirit by the Spirit of God. Paul said I

die daily; I live yet not I, but Christ in me. Fear and doubt, coupled with unforgiveness will short

circuit the anointing. The bondage of anxiety, doubt, fear, and hurt, is a wall or veil. A veil is

everywhere where the Spirit is not Lord. The Bible says that where the Spirit of the Lord is,

there is liberty. When a believer is afraid to open up and loose the wall and defenses, the Spirit

can not be Lord. There is no accuracy in the spirit and we can not enter His rest. We faint and

become weary in our mind when we do not consider the Spirit of the Lord. The flesh can not

manufacture the wisdom or power of God. Revelation will come when the anointing or

ministration of God causes the things of God to be seen. Jesus said when the Spirit of truth

comes, He shall receive of mine and show it unto you. We have the mind of Christ, and walk in

the wisdom of God through the anointing. Just as Jesus walked in and through the anointing, so

we also walk with signs and wonders following, as we abide in the anointing.

There are two major keys to victory. First, you must know that you know that you are

walking with God. Second, you must actively nurture your relationship with God to hear His

still small voice. Faith works by love. You must love the Lord your God with all your heart,

with all your soul, and with all your might, and you must love your neighbor as yourself. When

you walk in love without ought and condemnation, you will walk in boldness and faith because

you will hear God. Miracles will come and go, but it will be your consistency in the Word and

developing your spirit man which will take you to new heights in the supernatural.

Lesson 6

Power for the Hour

Lesson Objective. To understand the power you need for today.

Lesson Overview.

God has given us the ability and placed an open door for us to reach out and touch souls

with the power of the Gospel; the good news of our salvation. In the future, the separation

between the powerful and powerless will become more evident. There will always be those who

show a form of godliness, but are ignorant of the power in Christ. If we are to do what we are

called to do, we need a clear understanding of both the power and its source.

To do God’s work on earth, He has provided us with both the dunamis power and the

exousia authority. We are more than conquerors even when we don’t feel like it because we

walk by faith and not by how we feel. However, just because we have the power doesn’t mean

we are enforcing it. You need one more important ingredient, and that’s the anointing. You

must be tenacious in your daily pursuit of the anointing. The Psalmist says that you must seek

the fresh oil. You can’t live today on yesterday’s anointing. When you have the fresh oil, God

will anoint you to do things that the natural man can’t. Today is the day that the Lord has made;

so rejoice and be glad in it. Never be satisfied with yesterday’s accomplishments. Continue to

press toward your high call in Christ Jesus. God wants to take you to the high places as in

Habakkuk 3.

You must know what makes you weak and resist it. The Bible says that you hide God’s

Word in your heart so that you won’t sin against Him. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

The devil will do everything he can to mock God’s Word and try to put doubt in your mind. If


25

you waiver, you not only lose the anointing, but you also lose your power and authority. Samson

wavered and lost his power; but just as Sampson repented and realized the source of his power,

we can do the same thing. When you die to the flesh and the world, the anointing takes over.

Sampson rose above his shame; his renewed faith earned him special mention in the book of

Hebrews hall of faith. We too can press in for the special anointing we need today, and every

day!

Lesson 7

Possessing Supernatural Power

Lesson Objective. To understand how to operate in supernatural power.

Lesson Overview.

The supernatural power of God is available to every believer. To capitalize from the

anointing, and to move in this power, one only needs a revelation knowledge of the truth. The

power of God is bigger than we can comprehend with our minds. The key to tapping into this

power is found in God’s Word. The believer must learn to work in cooperation with the

anointing, or God’s Spirit. The first step is to put a deposit in your spiritual storehouse. The

more you deposit His Word in your spirit, and speak and confess in line with His Word, the

sooner you will see His supernatural results in your life. The Holy Ghost will take the Word and

make it powerful in you until every evil thing that presents itself against obedience and fullness

of Christ will depart. The Holy Ghost is the unction, revelation, or force, which manifests the

Word in the body. The Word of God moves mountains, casts out devils, and heals the sick. The

reason people fall short of possessing supernatural power is because of the sin known as

unbelief. Believers must understand that they are not their own, but that they are absolutely

possessed by God. Our mind can be used to believe God, or it can be used to doubt God. We

limit God when we choose not to act on His Word.

As we know, Christ and the Word are one in the same. Christ is the Anointed One. The

Word tells us that we have the mind of Christ. As we act in line with the Word, we are

cooperating with the anointing. When we act outside of the Word, we are outside of the

anointing, or anti Christ. Therefore, we must choose to walk in the Word and to rebuke those


28

things which compromise the Word. Possessing supernatural power means cooperating with the

anointing through prayer, meditation, and agreement with the Word. Don’t look forward to a

visitation, or backwards to a memory; look steadfast into the Word for power and miracles.

Lesson 8

Power of His Glory

Lesson Objective. To understand the power of the anointing.

Lesson Overview.

The true anointing, or God’s manifest glory, should be most apparent in the church.

However, there are too many people in the church today that are not walking in power or liberty.

People shy away from God’s anointing power because they refuse to break their religious ties.

Until these people learn that the Spirit of the Lord brings liberty, they will never be completely

free.

The anointing is God’s manifest presence. It comes to endorse, to enforce, and to

perform. Without it, no great and mighty works can be done. The anointing is truly what

separates the Christians who walk in victory from the Christians who live beneath their

privileges. The anointing is the agent that God uses to perform miracles and to give us the

boldness to preach the Gospel of Christ. It is a gift that belongs to each Christian. Jesus said, the

glory which you have given me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one.

Imagine the power we could have in the body of Christ if we only had a revelation of what is

truly available to us. God is as good as we allow the glory to be. If we yield to the anointing,

God will manifest Himself.

Once you get a hold of the Word, you will make room in your house for Christ; and He

will feel at home. You will be injected with resurrection power into your spirit, soul, and body.

Your soul and body will be quickened like your spirit, and the anointing spirit will truly set you

free. Once we experience and understand the glory, we will pursue it with all diligence. It is the


31

agent that brings about miracles, and transforms us into the image of His Son which we are

called to conform to. When you meditate on the anointing, the day star will arise in you. When

you experience the anointing, you will find the blessings, the glory, and God himself!

Lesson 9

Unleash the Power of Faith

Lesson Objective. To understand that your ability to do miracles depends on your ability to

unleash the power of faith resident within you.

Lesson Overview.

The Word of God says that faith without works is dead. To do God’s work you must

have active faith. I just want to do the Lord’s will is not the type of faith that is needed to raise

the dead, heal the sick, and cast out devils. Not only must you believe God’s Word; you must

live it, walk it, speak it, confess it, and testify it. People must believe that you truly represent

God before they will allow God to work miracles through you. The problem is not on God’s

part--it is on ours! We all want God to use us; but are we ready to make the necessary sacrifices?

Have we renewed our minds, and are we walking by faith?

You can not walk by faith and be bound by the world or religion. In some cases, they are

one in the same. The Word says that the letter kills but the Spirit gives life. The Old Testament

was a perfect law given to an imperfect people. It was a school master that had no life or spirit.

The best the people could do was to live under a curse. Their sacrifices could clean them on the

outside, but could not clean their spirit. It was not until the death and resurrection of Jesus that

man could understand his true position and heavenly identity.

The law was performance oriented. Man could only be justified by acts. Then Jesus

came, and the Word said that the just shall not live by acts, but by faith. It also said that Jesus is

the author and finisher of that faith. In essence, the Word says that you don’t have to see it or

perform it until you believe it. You only have to believe to receive. It is the Spirit that gives life,


34

and where the Spirit is, there is liberty. This is the liberty to live free from the curse and to

operate in the realm of God’s authority and power. Once you know what Christ did for you, and

who you are in Him, you will be able to pull the trigger on the inside which releases the power to

do miracles. When you operate in this realm, you will raise the dead, heal the sick, and cast out

devils.

Lesson 10

Resurrection--Release Your Faith

Lesson Objective. To understand the need to resurrect your faith.

Lesson Overview.

The Word says that in the last days perilous times will come and that many will depart

from the faith. We are entering into these perilous times. As believers, we must learn to be

strong in Him and the power of His might. We can all see people who are walking away because

their faith was not built on the solid foundation of God’ Word. It is nothing more than seducing

spirits which have caused these people to doubt God’s Word. Somehow, somewhere, sometime,

they were disappointed; and they allowed their faith to wavered. The fact of the matter is that it

doesn’t change God’s Word one bit. God does not lie and He is not a man that He should repent!

As a believer, you can not allow your faith to die. Do not cast away your confidence or

you will become weary in well doing. Once that happens your faith can die a slow death. When

you finally stop acting in faith, your faith dies. But just as Jesus said, this sickness is not unto

death. You must recognize when your faith becomes sick so that you can stop any further

deterioration. God has an investment in your faith. You must remember that it is not Got, but a

seducing spirit that causes a person to cast away their confidence. You must not forget the

benefits of the One who forgives you of your sins and heals you of all your sickness and disease.

Once you recognize that your faith is either sick, or has wavered, you must go back to the

initial disappointment which caused the situation. This is the point at which the healing process,
