DANIEL 11:32 (NKJV) declares, “The people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.” Daniel didn’t single out pastors, evangelists, or any other title. He said, “The people who know their God.” This includes the whole Body of Christ—ordinary believers who truly know God. Not just those who know about Him, but those who walk with Him daily, trust Him fully, and live with the confidence that He is always with them.
In a world filled with perversion, challenges, and distractions, God is calling for people who will surrender their lives to Him. He’s looking for those who understand Who He is and are willing to let Him work through them to accomplish mighty things.
Faith and the Holy Spirit
To live this way and do exploits for God, we must be full of faith and the Holy Spirit. That’s how Stephen is described in Acts 6:5. Stephen wasn’t an apostle; he was a church worker chosen to help with practical tasks. Yet because he was full of faith and the Holy Spirit, God used him to perform miracles and boldly share the Gospel.
To be full of faith, we must be full of God’s Word. Romans 10:17 (NKJV) says, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” To be full of faith, we must regularly read, meditate on, and act on God’s Word. Colossians 3:16 (NKJV) instructs us to “let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” The Word should be so alive in us that when the enemy attacks, it’s our first thought.
To walk in God’s power, we must be full of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told His disciples, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me” (Acts 1:8 NKJV). The Holy Spirit equips us with power and boldness—not just for personal joy or church gatherings but to do Jesus’ works and witness effectively.
When we are filled with the Spirit, our faith is stirred like fire within us. This enables us to step out boldly and share the Gospel everywhere we go. Instead of the world influencing the Church, we will influence the world through the power of the Kingdom of God.
God is looking for some fanatic, radical, on-fire, Spirit-filled, tongue-talking, Word-speaking, devil-casting-out, healing believers who will do the works of His Kingdom because He wants to expand
His Kingdom.
Signs Follow Believers
In Mark 16:17–18 (NKJV) Jesus said, “These signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; . . . they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
These promises are for all believers. If you’re a parent, these signs should follow in your home. Wherever we go—whether at work, school, or in our neighborhoods—we carry God’s power. When we wake up in the morning, demons should tremble knowing we’re about to walk in the authority of Jesus’ Name.
This truth must become real to us. The early church showed us what’s possible. Acts chapter 8 tells us that after persecution scattered the church, ordinary Christians went everywhere preaching the Gospel. They were people just like us who knew their God, were full of the Holy Spirit, and boldly proclaimed His Word.
Revival Starts With You
Doing exploits for God starts with a commitment to know Him deeply. Spend time daily in His Word. Pray for the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Step out in faith, trusting God to work through you. When challenges come, remember Jesus’ example. He overcame the enemy by declaring, “It is written.”
The world needs believers who are full of faith and the Holy Spirit—people ready to disrupt darkness and advance the Kingdom. When you truly know your God, nothing is impossible. Trust Him, stand strong, and watch as He uses you to do great exploits for His glory.
