When they truly understand that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of liberty and freedom, then they will seek after the presence of God and the flow of His Spirit in them. When they see it is by the power of His presence that the bonds of hell are broken, then they will strive to remove anything out of their lives that stands in the way of His power flowing through them.

Dear Lord, I pray You would help me to have strong faith to believe You will do great things in response to my prayers.

I believe You can do magnificent and miraculous things in response to my prayers as well.
