Faith is described as one of the Manifestations of the Spirit; it is something that God works in us through the Holy Spirit which allows him to do things, miricles or ordinary endeavors, when we are otherwise incapable of doing them. Our part is to make a decision to allow God to work and to follow it through. God does the work and He gets the glory.

God has communicates to His people through the Spirit and through His Word. God gives power to His people through the Spirit and through His Word. To receive the Spirit of God and know its power a person must know the Word of God. Actions taken on the known Word can be greatly accentuated through the power of the Holy Spirit. Certain miracles can only be accomplished through the use of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the Word of God and the Spirit of God are both equally important and synergistic in a Christian’s stand on the Word. They must be kept in balance and then a person can truly experience the full power and joy of God’s loving kindness.

When we come to the end of our rope who do we turn to? What we need is to make a decision within ourselves to remove all obsticles between us and Christ. We need to say “I want to change, it is time to change.” This doesn’t come automatically and we shouldn’t wait till we are at the end of our rope.
