How does one go about obtaining such faith? It seems to me that even though the early Christians had been with Jesus and had even interacted with the resurrected Christ, they were timid and ineffectual until the day of Pentecost. Then they changed the world. I feel that I need some sort of "anointing" or "endowment" to make a difference. This has to come from outside myself. I am trying to be obedient in all things, and letting God direct my path. Still, I find that I mess up a lot. I don't think that I could ever do anything to deserve it. Any thoughts?
