IS A MAN OF FAITH AND AUTHORITY:- HE IS A MAN OF FAITH AND AUTHORITY:-  This faith and authority comes from the Word  This faith comes from personal fellowship with the father  This faith is active and not passive. He is determined to see things happen  He is aggressive! Urgent.  He contends for victory and anointing – he fights for it and will not accept defeat! 1 Samuel 17:26, (David’s confession of faith )

IS A MAN OF PRAYER:- HE IS A MAN OF PRAYER:-  He is specific in prayer, he knows what he wants  He intercedes for others  He binds satanic forces  He spends quality time with Jesus and the Word.  His prayer life is strong.

CONT’D:-  Fellowship with God is more important to him than relationships. As a result of believing prayer, the man of valour challenges the devil. He rebukes the enemy. He takes dominion over satan. He commands sickness to leave. He speaks life into a meeting. Prayer and intercession produces confidence, faith and power. Faith is developed in prayer Hebrews 11:6 Hebrews 11:6

HE IS A MAN OF THE SPIRIT  He sees with eyes of the Spirit  He doesn’t see obstacles, shortage or lack. He boldly says, “We can do it!” (Num. 13:20, Joshua 1:8)  He rises up and speaks out! He knows what God wants – so he acts on it. He speaks it! Even before it happens he declares it ! (Romans 4:17)

CONT’D  He knows his strength is from God and the Holy Spirit. He relies on the Holy Spirit.  He prays in the Spirit every day – building himself up. He knows Acts 1:8 says you will receive power! Power means: force, ability, strength, influence.  As he prays in the Spirit he has an anointing! He sees things not known in the natural mind. He sees mysteries. Revelation comes as he studies the Word.

CONT’D  He values the anointing of the Spirit!  He will not allow sin and uncleanness to dissipate that anointing. He makes a clean break with sin.  He keeps his mind and spirit clean. He cannot live without this anointing.

HE IS STRONG IN THE WORD  He knows what he believes so he is enthusiastic, positive and persistent!  He has a vibrant faith. The Word of God is alive and meaningful to him.  He believes because he hears God saying to Abraham “Is anything too hard for Me?” (Gen. 18:14) The believer hears God saying it to him.

CONT’D  He sees Joshua marching seven days around Jericho – not quitting in three days or five! He hangs in there too. He is persistent.  He sees himself strong – he agrees with God. Gideon saw himself weak, needy, poor, dangling. God saw him strong, influential and mighty. Gideon talked negative about himself. God talked positive about him

CONT’D  He is not a beggar. Pleading with God to do something – he is dynamic and full of power.  He fills himself with the Word of God.  He knows that his faith is only alive and active as he reads – and meditates on the Word of God.  He knows the Word on healing and health!  He knows the Word on God’s financial plan

CONT’D  He marches out with boldness – he leads with confidence  He knows nothing is too hard for his God  He tears down enemy stronghold
