THE SUPERNATURAL GOD

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” – Ephesians 1:3

Our God is the SUPERNATURAL GOD! His blessings are supernatural: “who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Eph.1:3b). His Book is supernatural: “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God…” (2Tim.3:16a); “for the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Heb.4:12). The world is supernatural in origin: “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible” (Heb.11:3). Christians are supernatural beings, born by the power of the Holy Spirit (1Pet.1:23). And the Church is a supernatural Organism: “And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all” (vv.22-23).

The Lord God is Source of all power: His saving and pardoning power – “power on earth to forgive sins” (Mt.9:6); and His power over nature: Jesus “rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm” (Lk. 8:24). There is His life-giving power (Jh. 10:10; 17:2). The Lord performed healings, miracles, signs, and wonders in the Old Testament, and continued to demonstrate His Power in the New Testament through the early church. He continues to work wonders in our world through the “Body” of Christ – all of us who have put our trust in Jesus Christ for forgiveness, salvation, and new life. Most importantly, He longs to release upon us and into our lives His unlimited, supernatural Supplies of the Resources and Riches of Redemption. God’s supernatural power is a part of the Life given to us by Jesus, which enables us to be sanctified, to become partakers of Christ’s Life, and empowers us to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil.

God’s divine power was manifested in the Old Testament by miraculous manifestations through special and sometimes temporary anointing in the lives of His servants. The New Testament dimension of His divine power is called the power of Christ’s resurrection: “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death” (Phi. 3:10). This is part of the Life of God that He has implanted and sealed in our hearts at the new birth. This supernatural power resides in every Christian, but it requires a submitted and sanctified life to partake of it. Paul prayed for the saints at Ephesus: “the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of HIS MIGHTY POWER” (Eph.1:18-19).

Christianity devoid of the supernatural will be an irrelevant religion full of lifeless rituals, rules, and regulations that cannot transform hearts or change lives. The Christian life is not just another religion or philosophy. Supernatural Power is living proof that Jesus Christ was resurrected and lives today; He is not just another good teacher or wise guru. Without the ingredient of God’s supernatural power, we would have remained under the bondage of darkness, ignorance, sickness, and other adverse circumstances that rise against us. We need to know, learn the ways of, and walk with the supernatural God

The Living God longs for every soul to have a genuine relationship and be reconnected with Him. Part of His Prophetic agenda in these end-times is to supernaturally visit and call as many as are willing and obedient to receive His Word and the outpouring of His Spirit, and manifest His Supernatural Power on earth. He is anointing and raising ‘Instruments’ of His Power and Vessels of His Grace for supernatural manifestations!
