Operating in the power of Resurrection

What powers your faith when life feels uncertain? In this sermon, Apostle explores the vital connection between faith and hope, urging believers to operate in the power of the Holy Spirit with hearts anchored in confident expectation. Praying from Ephesians 1:18–21, he asks that the eyes of every listener’s heart be enlightened to grasp the fullness of their calling, inheritance, and the incomparably great power available to them. He explains that faith—the substance of things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1)—cannot function effectively without real hope. Approaching God in prayer or worship must begin not only with requests but also with thanksgiving, recognising that the power to overcome is already within us (Acts 1:8). Fasting, he teaches, is for seeking mercy—not for acquiring power believers already possess.

 

Apostle Williams goes on to highlight that praise and thanksgiving are powerful spiritual tools for unlocking manifestation. Through heartfelt worship, believers enter God’s presence, stir up faith, and invite divine intervention—where battles are won and angels move. Like Jesus in John 5, Christians are called to speak life into seemingly hopeless situations, calling things that are not as though they were. The same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead is alive within us, and Apostle reminds listeners never to be disheartened by negativity. God’s grace is sufficient, and He is able to turn every curse into a blessing. As John 4:23 affirms, God seeks worshippers who honour Him in spirit and in truth—those who walk in hope, faith, and power.
