Paul’s encouragement to a young disciple, Timothy, was to “fight the good fight” as he struggled through personal insecurities to lead the church in Ephesus.

Fasting and prayer releases supernatural events that are on the heart of God. As the early church leaders came together in prayer and fasting, the Holy Spirit told them what to do.

As the early Church grew, the need for wise leaders filled with the Spirit became apparent. In part 5 of our Book of Acts series, we’ll talk about the biblical requirements for godly leadership, what type of Philip declared in the Gospel, as well as the work of angels in Philip’s ministry.
