TEACHING SERIES: OPERATING IN THE SUPERNATURAL
INTRODUCTION –
- For the natural man it is natural to be sick, fail, and experience misfortune but there is a realm where man can live and have dominion over these natural occurrences. 1 Cor.2:14.
- The Word of God makes provision for the supernatural that puts us above the natural realm. 1 Cor. 2:9-10.
- New birth is our launching path into the world of the supernatural. Jn. 3:5-8, Isa. 8:18.
WHAT IS A SIGN?
- A Sign is an act that cannot be explained by natural laws yet cannot be denied. Acts 4:16-17, Heb. 11:32-33.
- Signs are the strange acts of God that cause men to wonder. Matt. 13:55, Zech. 3:8.
HOW TO ENGAGE THE SUPERNATURAL?
1. Engage the power of boldness, the ability to speak freely and frankly. Acts 9:27, 13:46, 4:3, 19:8, 26:26, 28:31.
- Boldness is an open declaration of faith without any doubt in your heart. 1 Sam. 13:36.
- We are empowered with boldness by the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit is the source of boldness. Matt. 26:75, Acts 1:8, 2:4, 10:38. The Holy Ghost is not just the power of God but the Spirit of truth. Jn. 15:26, 2 Cor. 2:11, Acts 2:1, 14-41, 4:29, Isa. 8:10, Dan. 3:17-28, 14:3.
- Our challenges in life are not the issue but our declaration of whether that situation remains. Num. God cannot do anything outside what we say, we must use our mouths wisely. 14:28, Eccl. 5:6. The enemy is terrified by our bold speaking. Philip. 1:28.
WHAT ARE NEXT LEVELS?
- Supernatural change of positions. It talks about overcoming stagnation, scaling higher heights, commanding exploits, and having proof to show amid resistance. Deut. 1:6-8, 2:3.
- Every child of God has a next-level heritage and we must possess a next-level mentality to achieve this. Prov. 4:18 Rom. 8:30
- Our obedience of faith triggers our next level in the kingdom. Gen. 2:4, Exod. 14:14, 1 Kg. 17:13.
- We don’t wait for the next level in the kingdom, we engage with God’s commandment through His Word. Psa. 112:3. Through soul-winning. Dan. 12:3.
- Our ultimate next level in this life is to stand with boldness when we stand before God. 1 Jn. 4:17
