Who is a helper? (according to the dictionary)
• A person who contributes to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose.
• An assistant.
• A supporter.

• As believers we face issues but it is as though we don’t have a helper because we don’t relate with Him.

ENCOUNTER WITH THE SPIRIT OF POWER

2 Tim 1:6-7
• A sound mind is a mindset that has been formulated by a certain wisdom.
• A sound mind is the mind of Christ.
• Love is of the mind.
• Satan uses fear to destroy people while God uses faith to bring people into His will and purpose for their lives.

• The spirit of love is what drives you into God’s presence.
• The spirit of love is what makes you to put God first above anything else.
Acts 1:8, 17:6, Luke 24:49
• You know what God wants you to do in life but if you don’t get power, you won’t get there.
• In the absence of power, satan can stop the agenda of God at a national level.
• Satan stopped the construction of God’s church in the days of Zechariah and it took power for construction to resume.
• Strength and long life are a function of the spirit of might.

WHY DO WE NEED THE SPIRIT OF POWER?
1. To subdue, dominate, silence and put the enemy under our feet (Psa 110:1-3, Mark 4:35-5:2).
• You rule by the spirit of power, not by speaking English.
• When power is present, there is a willingness.
• The devil that wants to stop people from relating with you is dislodged.
• The devil can stop any one of your destiny helpers on their way to you and you will be left wondering what is happening.
• When you are in charge, people will be willing.
• People don’t buy things because they are nearer to where they are.
• Whatever it takes to get power, get it.
• No matter what they plan, when you are in charge, the power of God will nullify their agenda.

2. To set the captives free (Isa 61:1, 2 Chron 22:7)
3. To break the gates of hell (Zec 4:6, Acts 16:25-26)
4. For signs and wonders (Luke 4:18, 5:8, 26, John 4:48)
• Signs and wonders make people to believe God.
• Signs and wonders are the sickles of harvest.
5. To clear enemies on the way to our destinies (1 Cor 16:9)
