On The Supernatural And The Believer

[Custodian Of Mysteries]

The supernatural is a topic that has come under heavy artillery attacks and debates especially in the Christian circle.

However, a closer look at the Scriptures (the Bible) leaves one with the unshakable impression that the supernatural is not just a mere topic for debates and arguments, but the supernatural is the ecosystem and natural habitat of the New Creation (the Christian or believer in Christ Jesus)!

A Christian who is not living supernaturally even in this natural world is like a man without a residential address! Let us talk the supernatural, but more importantly, let us BE SUPERNATURAL!

What are your thoughts on this? Let us discuss.

I have experienced the supernatural so I know what you are saying....and that which is not seen created that which is seen so to me the unseen is more real than the seen.

We must remember that the supernatural is not always the spectacular. A person embracing Christ and becoming born again by the Spirit of God is supernatural, but not always spectacular. Many healing miracles happen quietly often when the person is asleep in bed. The person can be prayed for in a meeting with no immediate results, and then go home, and wake up in the morning healed. Deliverance is not usually spectacular. After good counselling and renouncing garbage that had invited the oppression, the person can then have a new sense of freedom, joy and peace. Public exorcisms can appear spectacular but often without the desired results. Giving a prophecy in church which may change a person's life is supernatural, but only perceived within the person whose life is changed because of it. That prophecy may be given quietly and almost matter of fact, with supernatural but not necessarily spectacular results.

The flesh craves the spectacular, because of the public display and the heightened emotions that witnessing spectacular events can bring, especially to a large group of people. But the most powerful supernatural acts of God can happen almost silently in the background, yet people's lives are changed forever.

Yes! It is the unseen or invisible that provides the framework and architecture for the seen or visible. Hence the Scripture reveals in Hebrews 11:3, how the visible world of matter, space and time were framed by the invisible Logos of God.

I couldn't agree more. However, while the supernatural is not always spectacular, it is undeniable when it is present.

Supernatural events should fall into this category not what the movie industry would have us believe.

1Th.1:9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

Punch line!

It is an error of historical proportions to let the fallen world define that which is the heritage of the believer.

The Supernatural is the believer's identity... Its operations and functionalities are above the world's pay grade.
