WHEN NATURAL REASONING FIGHTS THE SUPERNATURAL

It is exciting to live the life of faith and experience the supernatural power of God. Truly, greater days are ahead.

But if we are going to walk in the supernatural and bring the power of God to a hurting world, we cannot allow natural reasoning to become the final authority in our lives.

As we continue looking at Matthew 16, we see Jesus addressing His disciples about their reasoning:

“O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?”
Matthew 16:8 NKJV

Notice His words:

“Why do you reason among yourselves?”

They were discussing the situation with one another and forming conclusions based upon what they could see naturally, while leaving out the Word, the revelation of God, and the supernatural power they had already witnessed.

That is where natural reasoning becomes dangerous.

We can become dominated by our senses, limited knowledge, past experiences, and present circumstances. We begin talking among ourselves about what is possible, what is impossible, what we have, what we do not have, and what circumstances appear to be saying.

Before long, our thoughts, expectations, and actions are being established by human reasoning rather than by the Word of God and the revelation of the Holy Spirit.

You cannot walk in the unlimited supernatural realm while being dominated by natural reasoning alone.

And the Church must never operate on human reasoning apart from God.

We were not called to operate by natural wisdom, human ability, committees, statistics, and strategies alone. We were called to be led by the Holy Spirit, established upon the Word, and empowered by God.

That is the life of faith.

Notice how Jesus begins His correction:

“O you of little faith...”

Why did He address their faith?

Because faith reaches beyond the limitations of the natural realm and lays hold of what God has said and what His power has made available.

Faith gives us access to the wisdom, provision, ability, and supernatural resources of God.

Natural reasoning asks, “What do we have?”

Faith asks, “What does God have?”

Planning has its place, but it can never replace faith and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

The disciples saw a lack of bread.

Jesus saw no limitation only multiplication.

They were calculating according to natural resources while standing beside the One who had already demonstrated supernatural provision.

Natural reasoning says, “There is not enough.”

Natural reasoning says, “There is no way.”

Natural reasoning says, “I cannot see how this can happen.”

But faith brings God into the conversation.

Faith asks, “What has God said?”

Faith asks, “What has He revealed in His Word?”

Faith refuses to establish its conclusions while leaving out the supernatural power of God.

Five loaves were not enough to feed thousands naturally, but the need was never greater than the power of God.

Blind eyes do not open naturally.

The lame do not walk naturally.

Captives are not set free through human ability alone.

The dead do not rise naturally.

That is why we need the supernatural.

Humanity has needs that natural ability alone cannot meet.

Jesus never allowed natural limitations to determine what was possible. By faith, He brought the supernatural power of God into the needs of mankind.

And that is still the calling of the Church in this hour.

We must never reason God out of His own Church.

Bring the Word into the conversation. Bring revelation into our thinking. Bring the leading of the Holy Spirit into our decisions. Keep the supernatural power of God at the center of our expectation.

The need may be greater than our natural resources, but it will never be greater than the supernatural power of God.

Great days are upon us, and greater days lie ahead.

Do not reason among yourselves until God has been reasoned out of the equation.

Make room for the supernatural and expect to experience God’s greater glory in your life.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES?

“You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.”
Matthew 16:3 NKJV

The religious leaders in Jesus’ day were highly attuned to the natural world, yet spiritually blind to the move of the Holy Spirit happening right in front of them.

Jesus was healing the sick. Lives were being changed. Prophecy was being fulfilled. God was visiting His people, and something supernatural was happening in their generation.

That raises an important question for us:

Can we recognize what God is doing in our generation?

I believe we can, but we must remain humble, hungry, and sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

There is much to be encouraged about.

God is moving.

Young people are turning to Jesus. There is a fresh hunger for God among Gen Z. Across America and around the world, people are being saved, believers are becoming hungry for more of God, and expectation for the presence and power of the Holy Spirit is rising.

These are wonderful days to be alive and serving God.

And here in Ocala, God is moving mightily in our midst.

Everyone can see the population growth taking place throughout our area, but I believe something even more significant is happening spiritually.

There is a spiritual renewal taking place.

There is a renewed hunger for the presence of God and for the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. Faith is rising. Religious barriers are coming down, and there is a growing desire for the genuine presence and power of God.

I believe Ocala and the surrounding region are becoming an epicenter for the manifested presence and power of God. We are seeing people saved, bodies healed, lives restored, and a fresh move of the Holy Spirit touching this region.

Thank God for all the great things He has done and continues to do. And at the same time, let us remain hungry, thankful, and expectant for more.

As we enter the final months of 2026, I believe our best days are still ahead. And as we move toward 2027, my prayer is that we remove every limitation we have placed upon God and press toward the mark with everything we have.

On the Day of Pentecost, Peter declared:

“Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy... I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath.”
Acts 2:17, 19 NKJV

We believe there is more.

More people coming to Jesus. More lives being restored. More healings. More demonstrations of the Holy Spirit. More of God’s presence among His people.

Not so that any person or ministry receives the glory, but so that Jesus is exalted and people know that He is alive.

And there is one final part of Matthew 16 that deserves our attention.

After Jesus finished speaking with the religious leaders, Scripture says:

“And He left them and departed.”

Think about that.

They treated Jesus as common and had little reverence for the move of God taking place right in their midst. The very Messiah they had been waiting for was standing before them, yet they failed to recognize the moment of their visitation.

And He left them and departed.

That is a sobering reminder of how precious a genuine move of God is.

What an honor and privilege it is when God manifests His presence among His people. May we never treat as common what God calls precious.

Lord, help us never become so familiar, so distracted, or so certain of our own way that we fail to recognize what You are doing.

May we remain humble.
May we remain hungry.
May we honor His presence.
May we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.

What a time to be alive and serving God!

Let us celebrate the privilege of participating in what He is doing. Let us give Him all the glory, stay full of faith, and remain expectant for even greater things ahead.

God is moving in our land, and we are only beginning to see what He is doing.

The best is yet to come.

GLORY DAYS!

We are living in great days to be alive on planet Earth. The Body of Christ is rising with a fresh hunger, anticipation, and expectation for God to do great things in the earth and in our lives.

These are glory days. Days when the magnificence, presence, and power of God are being revealed among His people. We should be more excited than ever about what God is doing and what He is preparing to do through those who believe Him.

Psalm 113 declares:

“Everywhere—from east to west—praise the name of the Lord. For the Lord is high above the nations; his glory is higher than the heavens.”
Psalm 113:3–4 NLT

But the Psalm does not stop with His glory being above the heavens. It shows us what happens when the God of glory moves in the lives of people.

“He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, even the princes of his own people! He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother.”
Psalm 113:7–9 NLT

That is the God we serve.

His glory is not merely something we sing about. His presence changes things. He lifts people. He restores lives. He turns impossible situations around. He takes people from where they are and brings them into what He has prepared for them.

So stir up the gift of God within you. Shake off complacency. Get enthusiastic about what God is doing in you and through you. Believe His Word. Respond to His Spirit. Expect Him to use you. Expect lives to be changed. Expect the supernatural.

From the rising of the sun to its going down, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

Jesus is alive. His glory is being revealed. His power is changing lives. And these are great days to be alive!

Are You Tired Of It?

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me.”
Matthew 11:28 MSG

Research is confirming what many of us have already seen. A large percentage of this generation has walked away from organized religion. Some say church feels disconnected from real life. Others say the Bible is not being taught clearly enough. One of the most sobering responses is that God seems missing from their church experience.

And I believe this generation is tired of it.

So am I.

They are tired of going through the motions. Tired of polished services without the presence of God. Tired of religious systems that tell people what church is supposed to look like without helping them encounter the living God.

They want something real. They want a faith that speaks to Monday morning, not just Sunday morning. They want to know who Jesus Christ is, why they are here, and how the Gospel speaks to the battles they are actually facing.

They do not need another motivational speech with a Bible verse attached to it.

They need truth that transforms.
They need Jesus.
They need the Holy Spirit.
They need the power of God.

I believe Matthew 24 gives us an incredible picture of what God is doing in the Church today. The disciples were admiring the magnificent temple buildings, but Jesus told them, “Not one stone shall be left here upon another.”

They were impressed with the stones while the One the temple pointed to was standing right in front of them. It was impressive, but it was all coming down.

When Jesus was crucified, the veil was torn from top to bottom. Under the New Covenant, God would no longer dwell behind a curtain in a religious building. He would put His Spirit within His people.

That still speaks to us today.

Buildings cannot save this generation. Programs cannot save this generation. Titles, traditions, denominations, and religious performance cannot save this generation.

They need an encounter with the living God.

Then Peter stood on the Day of Pentecost and declared:

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh… I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath.”
Acts 2:17, 19 NKJV

God’s answer to dead religion was never better religion.
God’s answer is the outpouring of His Spirit.

We can have excellence, organization, beautiful buildings, great music, and great programs, but none of those things can replace the presence of God.

This generation is telling us they are tired of empty religion.

Maybe it is time we listen.

They do not need less of God.

They need the real thing.

So the question remains:

Are you tired of it?

Because I am.

It is time for God's people to have an encounter with the living God, not more religious tradition.

Speak the Word Only

Matthew 8:8 ESV
“Only say the word, and my servant will be healed.”

The centurion understood authority.

He knew that when a man with authority gave an order, somebody moved. He looked at Jesus and recognized that sickness, disease, demons, and everything operating in the unseen realm had to bow to His authority.

That is why he said, “Only say the word.”

That word "only" is powerful. It means nothing else was necessary. Jesus did not have to come to the house. He did not have to touch the servant. He did not have to create a religious moment.

Only the Word was enough.

The centurion had reduced the whole situation down to one thing: Jesus had authority over sickness and disease.

And Jesus called that great faith.

It only takes one Word from God, believed and spoken in faith, to turn a situation around.

The devil may tell you it is over.

The diagnosis may tell you nothing can change.
Fear may tell you there is no way out.
Circumstances may scream that you are finished.
But none of them have the final word.

God does.

When the Word of the Lord comes into a situation, darkness has to move. Fear has to bow. Bo***ge has to break. Sickness has to yield to the authority of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 8:16 says Jesus cast out spirits “with a word” and healed all who were sick.

That is authority.

So stop bowing to what Jesus already defeated.

Get the Word of God in your mouth. Believe it. Speak it. Stand on it. Refuse to move off what God has said.

The devil is not in charge.
The circumstance is not in charge.
The report is not in charge.

Jesus is Lord.

And after Jesus spoke, the Word declares:

“And the servant was healed at that very moment.”
Matthew 8:13 ESV

That settles it.

Only the Word was necessary. One Word from the Master, believed and spoken in faith, can turn the whole situation around.

08/21/2026

We are gathering again for another great time in the Word of God at All Things Supernatural. 7pm at the College of Central Florida.

We are looking forward to seeing you there. Tonight will be an indepth teaching on Revelation Knowledge and it's role in receiving from God.

He Descended Like a Dove

“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Matthew 3:16–17 KJV

I know everyone is busy. It is amazing how quickly life can fill up. Responsibilities pile up, schedules become crowded, and before we realize it, even good and important things can consume our attention.

But as I was praying and preparing, the Holy Spirit began to emphasize something very simple and very important to me: In all our business and in all the important things on our to-do lists, God still desires fellowship with us.

Not merely a hurried prayer while we are running out the door. Not just a verse we read in passing. Not simply coming to God when we need an answer, healing, direction, or breakthrough. He desires that we spend time with Him.

Jesus said:

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
Revelation 3:20 KJV

That word sup gives us a beautiful picture of fellowship. Jesus is describing something more than a passing encounter. He is speaking about communion, relationship, and time spent together.
When Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him like a dove and lighted upon Him. In other words, the Spirit came to rest upon Him. Then a voice came from Heaven declaring, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

The Father was speaking from Heaven, the Son was standing in the water, and the Holy Spirit was descending upon Him. John the Baptist witnessed it. He heard the voice of the Father and saw the Spirit of God come upon Jesus.

But let me ask you something very personal.

Have you ever experienced the Spirit of the living God lighting upon you? Have you ever sensed His presence settling upon you in such a real and tangible way that you knew He was there?

He desires to do that right now.

Not just in a church service. Not only in some distant revival meeting. Not only for somebody else. Right where you are, as you read these words, you can turn your attention toward Him and become aware of His presence.

The same Holy Spirit who descended upon Jesus desires to make His presence known in your life. He desires to rest upon you, refresh you, strengthen you, speak to you, and draw you into deeper fellowship with the Father.

Later, Jesus promised His disciples that He would not leave them alone. He told them that another Comforter would come. Jesus would return to the Father, but the Holy Spirit would come to live in them, teach them, guide them, reveal Jesus to them, and empower them to be His witnesses.

Then came the Day of Pentecost:
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost…”
Acts 2:4 KJV

Peter stood and declared that what they were witnessing was the fulfillment of what God had spoken through the prophet Joel:
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh…”
Acts 2:17 KJV

The Holy Spirit did not come merely so that we could study Him, talk about Him, or develop doctrines concerning Him. He came to fellowship with us.

He wants us to know His presence. He wants us to recognize His voice. He wants to teach us the Word, lead us, reveal Jesus to us, strengthen us in our inner man, and make the love of our Heavenly Father real in our hearts.

Paul said:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
Romans 5:5 KJV

Think about that. The Holy Spirit pours the love of God into our hearts. Christianity was never intended to become merely information about God. God wants us to know Him.

There is a difference between knowing that God loves you and experiencing the reality of His love in your heart. There is a difference between knowing Scriptures about the presence of God and becoming conscious of His presence. There is a difference between studying the Holy Spirit and actually fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit.

I believe He is calling us back to that place.

Hebrews says:

“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith…”
Hebrews 10:22 KJV

Perhaps that is the word for us right now: draw near.

I believe we are experiencing a special season of visitation from the Spirit of God. There is a stirring taking place, a fresh hunger for His presence, and an increasing awareness that God desires to make Himself known among His people.

But seasons of visitation call for a response. We do not want to become so busy doing things for God that we fail to recognize when He is drawing near to fellowship with us.

The Holy Spirit is inviting us to come closer—to quiet the distractions, turn our attention toward Him, and give Him room to speak.

James gives us this wonderful promise:

“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”
James 4:8 KJV

Begin to expect and anticipate the presence of the Holy Spirit in a new and fresh way. I believe there is a freshness of the Spirit coming into our lives—a renewed awareness of His presence, His voice, His leading, and His desire to fellowship with us.

There are places within us that nothing else can satisfy. No amount of activity, success, entertainment, achievement, or even ministry can take the place of what the Holy Spirit desires to accomplish in our lives.

No one else can satisfy what the Holy Spirit desires to accomplish within us.

So right where you are make room for Him.

Expect His presence. Anticipate His voice. Become sensitive to His leading. There is more He wants to reveal, more of Jesus He wants to make real to us, and a deeper fellowship He is inviting us to experience.

We have things to accomplish. We have responsibilities. We have families, ministries, jobs, appointments, meetings, projects, and plans. Those things are important. But somewhere in the middle of all those important things, we cannot neglect the most important relationship of our lives.

The Holy Spirit is calling us into fellowship.

Not striving.
Not religious obligation.
Not another item on our to-do list.
Fellowship.

There are things He wants to show us. There are things He wants to say to us. There are burdens He wants to lift. There is revelation He wants to give. There is love He wants to pour into our hearts.

Perhaps before we ask, “Holy Spirit, what do You want me to do?”
we need to become comfortable simply saying:

“Holy Spirit, I am here. I want to spend time with You. Teach me. Speak to me. Reveal Jesus to me. Rest upon me. Fill me afresh. Help me know the heart of my Father.”

I believe this is a time of refreshing—a fresh work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. So let us draw near. Let us become hungry again. Let us become sensitive again. Let us begin to expect His presence in a greater way.

There is a freshness of the Spirit available right now. Make room for Him.

Blessings

We Are The Lasts Days Church

“In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house will be the highest of all… and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.” — Isaiah 2:2 NLT

We need to quit listening to the voices that keep prophesying defeat over the Church.

The Bible never says the Church limps into the finish line.

Isaiah saw our day. He saw the Lord raising up His Church, exalting the name of Jesus, and drawing the nations to Himself. While the world grows darker, the glory of God shines brighter. When sin abounds, grace abounds much more. The answer has never been politics, culture, or human ingenuity. The answer is Jesus Christ, and His Gospel is still the power of God unto salvation!

God is not finished with the Church.

We are not headed toward defeat. We are not backing up, backing down, or surrendering territory.

The Kingdom of God is advancing.

The glory of God is being revealed. Hungry people are being drawn to Jesus. Lives are being restored. Families are being restored. Bodies are being healed. Captives are being set free. And the Gospel of Jesus Christ is going forth with power.

Isaiah saw a day when the things of God would rise in prominence and people would come running to the presence of the Lord.

I believe we are living in days of divine acceleration, restoration, and greater glory.

The world may be shaking, but the Kingdom cannot be shaken.

Darkness may be increasing, but light always overcomes darkness.

The devil may be making noise, but he does not have the final word.

God does.

We cannot let what we see around us determine what we believe. We must lift up our eyes. Stay in faith. Stay full of the Word, and stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

We must:

Expect God to do even greater things than we have ever seen before.

Expect our family to be touched.

Expect our city to be impacted.

Expect prodigals to come home.

Expect miracles.

Expect restoration.

Expect the glory of God to increase.

We have not seen the best of what God intends to do in this generation.

The mountain of the Lord is rising.

The harvest is coming in.

And the days of greater glory are here.

You haven’t seen anything yet!

Blessings
