[Acts 6:5 “…And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy SPIRIT..”]

Without the Holy Spirit, you cannot live the Christian life, you will just be in empty religion. So every believer must receive the Holy Spirit and establish a personal growing relationship with Him. For this to happen, our faith is is essential. Our opening verse reveals faith and the Holy Spirit goes together. Stephen was full of “faith and the Holy Spirit.” Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing the Word of God so to build your Faith you have to be full of the Word. You have to study the Scriptures and see the works of the Holy Spirit, His character and personality and this will help you build your faith in Him. Hebrews 11:6 says ‘without faith it is impossible to please God.’ Without faith, it is impossible to receive the Holy Spirit and establish a relationship with Him. So build your Faith, learn to walk by faith, and you will not struggle walking with the Holy Spirit.
