A Supernatural Life

            We serve a supernatural Savior. Jesus Christ came to this fallen planet to “destroy the works of the devil.” He is our supernatural Savior. Hebrews 2:4 says, “And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose.”

Throughout the four Gospels Jesus Christ performed many supernatural miracles:  


•          He healed the sick 

•          He opened blinded eyes

•          He cleansed the leper

•          He made the lame to walk again

•          He restored the broken 

•          He raised the dead back to life again

•          He redeemed the lost from destruction


The One who performed these supernatural signs and wonders is the “same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).


He is still working supernatural miracles in the lives of His people.

The Cambridge Dictionary defines supernatural “forces or events that cannot be explained by science.”   Michael Anderson writes in an article, The Biblical Significance of the Supernatural, “When we think of the supernatural, we often envision mysterious and unexplainable occurrences that transcend the natural world. In the Bible, the supernatural is a realm where the divine intersects with the earthly, revealing God’s power and presence in ways that are beyond human understanding.”[I]


            We are called to be a supernatural people. Mark 16:20 says,  “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.”   We are not called to mundane Christianity. Dr. Frank Damazio writes, “The church cannot sacrifice the joy of a living faith for the security of a predictable religion and spiritual mediocrity.”[ii] There has been a progressive paring down of the miraculous element in the Bible. We are called for more. We must pursue more in our walk and relationship with the Lord.

A Declaration of Ownership

Psalm 24:1-2 – “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters.”               Psalm 24 is the third part of a trilogy with Psalm 22 and 23. David opens Psalm 22 prophetically with the words Jesus would say on the cross, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?” Psalm 23 reveals our Lord as the Great Shepherd who cares for His sheep. Psalm 24 reveals the Lord as the King of Glory.  Psalm 24 begins with a declaration of ownership. The Psalmist identifies the Lord as the Creator. Psalm 24:2 says, “He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters. Psalm 89:11 says, “The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.”  The beginning of cr...

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Tent Peg of Jael

Judges 4:21-22 – “Then Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. And then, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, “Come, I will show you the man whom you seek.” And when he went into her  tent,  there lay Sisera, dead with the peg in his temple.”             The book of Judges covered a chaotic time in Israel’s history.   A key Scripture for Judges in found in Judges 21:25, “Every man did was right in his own eyes.” There were seven cycles of apostasy, where the covenant children of God would turn away from the principles of the Word of God.             When they had godly leadership they would serve the Lord.   When that leader would die they would turn f...
