First and foremost, my high praise, adoration and adulation go to the Almighty God, the fountain of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. I greatly appreciate Jesus Christ, the power and wisdom of God. I also owe a depth of gratitude to the Holy Spirit for inspiring this work at every step from the commencement to the conclusion. Secondly, I remain grateful to God for giving me a worthy companion and partner, a wife that passionately and tenderly takes total care of me. I cherish our love, fidelity and understanding. Equally, I value the cooperation of my children. You are priceless jewels. Also, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

The Bible teaches us that we are to be filled with God's Spirit and that God's presence and grace is manifested among his people as they serve, love, and minister to one another. Yet some of the gifts that God offers to his people aren't commonly seen in many churches today. Gifts of prophecy, healing, tongues, and other supernatural gifts of God seem to be absent, and many Christians are unsure how to cultivate an atmosphere where God's Spirit can work while remaining committed to the foundational truth of God's Word. How can Christians pursue and implement the miraculous gifts of the Spirit without falling into fanatical excess and splitting the church in the process? In Practicing the Power, pastor and author Sam Storms offers practical steps to understanding and exercising spiritual gifts in a way that remains grounded in the word and centered in the gospel. With examples drawn from his forty years of ministry as a pastor and teachers, Storms offers a guidebook that can help pastors, elders, and church members understand what changes are needed to see God move in supernatural power and to guard against excess and abuse of the spiritual gifts. If you long to see God's Spirit move in your church and life, and aren't sure why that isn't happening or where to begin, this book is for you.

Most Christians live and die, never knowing the fellowship and companionship of the Holy Spirit. They have heard about the Holy Spirit and may even know doctrinal answers regarding the Third Person of the Godhead. But knowing about the Holy Spirit and personally knowing Him in daily fellowship are two very different things. The fulfillment of the God-conceived desires that you have dreamed of and that your heart has yearned for lies hidden in the keys within the pages of this book. As you read with an open heart, the Heavenly Father will reveal the ministry of the Holy Spirit to you. And as you act on what you learn and yield to His life-transforming work in your own life, you will set yourself squarely on the path that leads to your dreams becoming reality!

In the early church the believers' lives were filled with the Spirit and power of God. They were not just friends but a closely bonded family, forming their own culture separate from the unbelievers who surrounded them. They made it their living passion to follow the Lord according to truth having only one doctrine. With their hearts on fire miracles, power, and demonstrations of the Holy Spirit were normal for everyday life. These things were done "that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God." 1 cor 2:5 But somewhere through time things have changed. We act more as friends than family and truth has many versions. We hardly see the power and miracles the early church saw, only hearing stories of isolated events. But power doesn't come unless the passion comes first. In this book you will learn how to experience daily, the living power of God and the passion of Jesus Christ in your life. You will learn how to bring back the early church, that it may be alive and real again today.
