Paul said in Ephesians 5:20 that we would be filled with the fullness of God ". . . according to
the POWER that worketh in us" (Eph. 3:20). Jesus told the disciples * , . ye shall receive
POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you . . ." (Acts 1:8).
I maintain that every Spirit-filled believer has in him, on account and ready for use, all the
power that he will ever need to put him over in this life. Why? Because of the infilling Presence
of the Greater One, the Holy Spirit.
To illustrate this point, I can relate an experience that Wigglesworth, who was a mighty Spiritfilled man of faith, once had in England when he was asked to pray for the daughter of an
elderly couple.
The parents of the girl led Wigglesworth to an upstairs room, pushed open the door, and
stepped
back motioning for him to enter. Inside was a woman lying on the floor. She was so violently
insane, she had to be held down by five grown men.
When the door was opened, the insane woman looked at Wigglesworth, her eyes ablaze. She
arose from off the floor and tore herself loose from the men. They couldn't hold her. The evil
spirit in that woman screamed at Wigglesworth, "We are many. You can't cast us out!"
Quietly Wigglesworth said, "Jesus can." He remembered that the Bible said, ". . . greater is he
that is in you . . ."(1 John 4:4) and that he was a thousand times bigger on the inside than he
was on the outside. He dared to believe that God was inside him.
He said to the woman, "Jesus can. And out you come in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
Thirty-seven devils came out, giving their names. That young woman's mind was completely
restored. She dressed and came downstairs to eat the evening meal with them that same day.
I
The same power of God that Wigglesworth operated in to cast out those demons in the Name
of Jesus is made available to every believer through the baptism of the Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit Upon: Supernatural Praying
We discussed in Chapter 4 the role of the Holy Spirit as our Guide in life. Remember, in John
16:13 Jesus said, ". . . he [the Holy Spirit] shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall
hear, that shall he speak. ..." What shall He speak? What He hears God say. And not only will
He speak whatever He hears, but ". . . he will shew you things to come" (John 16:13).
We also saw in The Amplified Bible that the Holy Spirit is our Intercessor.
JOHN 14:16 (Amplified)
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another
Comforter (Counselor, Helper, INTERCESSOR, Advocate, Strengthener and Standby) that He
may remain with you forever.
While it is true that the number one way the Holy Spirit guides us is through the inward witness
in our spirits, it is also true that the Holy Spirit will help us and give us guidance in our prayer
