PRAYER - "Give Your Problem to God"
King Hezekiah received a vicious letter from the Assyrian King threatening to take control of Israel. Hezekiah had no might against Assyria, so he took the letter into the house of God and asked God to read the letter. That night, the angel of the Lord killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. God has solutions we can't even imagine.
2 Kings 19:14 - "And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD."
PRINCIPALS - "Lot's Wife"
When God delivered Lot and his family from the destruction of Sodom, the angel instructed them not to look back. Tragically, Lot's wife looked back, and "she became a pillar of salt." Our generation would almost certainly fail that test. When God says, "Come out," He says, "touch not the unclean thing." God does not like to see us yearning for the things He delivered us from. Jesus said those who look back are not fit for the Kingdom. Be warned.
Genesis 19:17 - "Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, ...lest thou be consumed."
PRINCIPLES - "The Quickening"
To "quicken" is to give life to something. The Spirit of Jesus Christ (the Holy Ghost) is the only power that can give you eternal life. If any man does not have the Spirit of Christ in him, the Bible says "he is none of His." Paul instructed the Ephesians to "be filled with the Spirit."
Romans 8:11 - "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."
PROPHECIES - "Confusion of Tongues"
One of the greatest ironies of all God's dealings with man is the contrast between the tower of Babel and the day of Pentecost. At Babel, God confused their tongues and scattered the people so they could not continue to work together. But on the day of Pentecost, God caused 120 believers to speak in unknown tongues to empower and unify them. What is confusion to man is crystal clear to God.
Genesis 11:9 - "Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth."
Be Supernatural God's Way
And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me?... Lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
– Exodus 14:15-16
If you hang around God very much, it won’t be long before you’ll start wanting to do things the world considers supernatural. You’ll start wanting to lay hands on the sick and have them recover. You’ll start wanting to cast out demons. You’ll start wanting to cast mountainous problems into the sea.
What’s more, you can do it if you want to!
How? Not by jumping out and “trying” to do supernatural things, but by obeying God one step at a time. By doing the things He’s already given you power to do.
That’s how it happened with Moses. He didn’t have the power to divide the Red Sea. But he did have the power to stretch his rod out over it. And when he did that in obedience to the Lord’s command, His Holy Spirit did the rest.
It will be the same way with you. When you start doing your part, the God’s Spirit will do His and supernatural things will start happening around you.
What is your part? Feeding on the Word. Praying in the spirit. Listening to what the Spirit of God says to you. As you do those things, as you begin to move as God impresses you to move and take your direction from Him, you’ll flow in the supernatural as naturally as a bird flies in the air.
You won’t struggle and strain and try to “part the sea.” You’ll just trust the Lord and stretch out your rod...and watch the miracles roll.
Jesus use me in a supernatural way! Glory! Thank you Lord for continued healing.
