When we boil it down the utmost basics, Scripture gives us four simple paths to pursuing God and receiving His power.

Immersion in the Word... soaking our souls in the Scriptures.

Believing what God says... trusting what God does.

Praying Passionately for Power... and Fasting {from more than mere food} to Clear the Channels.

Obeying the Sovereign Spirit.

I can't emphasize this last point strongly enough. Learn to obey the Holy Spirit ...as soon as you sense His promptings, no matter how strange they seem at the moment!
