own legal right to stand in the Father's presence without condemnation." E.W

8. PRAYER, POWER, AND
PROSPERITY
• "There will be a fearlessness in the presence of need and want. We are the
Righteousness of God in Christ. The fruits of that Righteousness will be healing the
sick, and breaking Satan's dominion over men. It will be the ability to unfold the
Word. The moment we become the Righteousness of God, the Spirit becomes our
teacher, the Word becomes our food and our education. We should be studying the
Word, poring over it. The Spirit will illuminate it and make it a living thing in our lips
and in our hearts. We will no longer be afraid of God, because we will realize that
He is our Father. We will go to Him with a sense of joy and rest in His presence. It
will be as natural for us to go to Him as it is for a son to go to his father. We will find
a freedom in prayer that we have never known because we will be taking our place.
