UNDERSTANDING THE SUPERNATURAL
SUNDAY ENCOUNTER SERVICE
FROM GREAT GRACE TABERNACLE
CHILILABOMBWE, ZAMBIA.
Luke 24:45
You must understand as a child of God, that the bible is not like a newspaper.
Zechariah 4:6-, Isaiah 59:19
⭕️When you hear “Lord of Hosts” it is referring to the Holy Spirit.
⭕️It is not possible to experience the grace of God without the Spirit of God.
⭕️The spirit of God is a conveyor of grace.
⭕️We have access into grace by faith but we cannot have faith until we have understanding.
⭕️We cannot understand until the spirit helps us to understand.
⭕️Grace multiplies by knowledge (revealed knowledge).
⭕️The Holy Spirit is the revealer of knowledge.
⭕️Grace is help of God.
⭕️Every time the Holy Spirit comes on the scene, help has come.
UNDERSTANDING THE SUPERNATURAL
⭕️What is natural can be explained by natural and scientific laws.
WHAT IS SUPERNATURAL?
i)Attributed to some force beyond the scientific or laws of nature.
- ii) Not able to be explained by laws of science.
iii) Being above and beyond what is natural.
⭕️It becomes a problem when we try to understand the supernatural from a scientific point of view.
⭕️The spiritual cannot be subjected to the laws of science.
⭕️When we are dealing with the supernatural, it is important to have a renewed mind and be careful not to subject the supernatural to the natural ways of determining whether something is true or not.
Psalm 119:130
⭕️Understanding is the entrance of light.
⭕️Light enables you to see.
⭕️Until there is a seeing, understanding has not yet happened.
⭕️Having facts about the supernatural will help a believer in a great way.
⭕️The supernatural is what controls natural occurrences, it has higher authority over the natural.
⭕️The supernatural is like a remote control for the natural.
⭕️The supernatural is the foundation of all the things we see around.
1 Kings 18:24
⭕️In the supernatural there are two major forces: there is a force of the kingdom of darkness and the force of the kingdom of God.
⭕️These two forces are at war with each other for the dominance of the human race.
⭕️When we say supernatural, we are referring to the spirit realm.
1 John 5:19
⭕️The world has become a magnetic field of the devil.
⭕️The understanding of how the world came to lie in wickedness is actually the root of supernatural.
Genesis 1:26
⭕️In the beginning, the only person Adam knew and was relating with was God.
Genesis 3:1-7, Genesis 2:17
⭕️Satan likes to offer people things that he doesn’t have.
⭕️To die is to be separated.
⭕️When Adam and Even ate the fruit, for the first time, they began to be concerned about themselves instead of focusing on God.
⭕️When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, Satan became the god of this world.
⭕️It is not possible to flow in the supernatural without understanding what happened in the garden and understanding God’s plan to rescue man.
⭕️The issue of having an identity crisis caused Satan to have headway over Adam and Eve in the garden.
⭕️ If we are going to live the supernatural life in the kingdom of God, we need to have the root identified.
⭕️Your identity in Christ is the root to living the supernatural.
⭕️To be born-again does not mean belonging to a church.
⭕️A person who does not understand his identity in Christ cannot walk in the supernatural.
John 3:16, John 10:10
⭕️When you are born again, you have the divine nature of God in you.
⭕️It is what is inside you that should be defining you.
⭕️A container for cooking oil looks the same as a container for spirit of salt, but they don’t have the same content.
⭕️If a child of God spends a lot of time trying to understand his body instead of trying to understand what his spirit is; he is lost.
Genesis 1:26, 2:7
⭕️God created man before he created his body.
⭕️When you are born again, you are existing in Christ.
⭕️Your body is here on earth, but the spirit man inside that body is sitting in heavenly places.
⭕️The devil is a spirit being just like you are a spirit being, but you are superior being.
⭕️The devil is just like any one of the angels, created to serve God and his interests, but God created you just like Himself.
⭕️Angels are your ministering spirits, that’s why you can’t worship them.
⭕️If you are born again but do not know that you are seated in heavenly places, satan who is lower than you will be tormenting you.
⭕️The people in the Old Testament had no ability to cast out devils, but we do.
Exodus 7:10-12
⭕️If Moses went to Pharaoh as a mere human being, he would not have taken the Israelites out of Egypt.
⭕️To do business here on earth, a spirit being needs a human body with which to cooperate with.
John 3:3-8, Luke 17:31, Romans 14:17
⭕️Healings and testimonies are a manifestation of the supernatural.
⭕️The kingdom of God is within every born-again child of God.
⭕️You need to have your spiritual eyes open to see the kingdom of God.
⭕️Baptism is an outward witness of something that has happened inside a person.
⭕️When you get baptized so many things happen spiritually.
⭕️Baptism is important.
⭕️Once you accept Jesus as your lord and saviour, you enter into the kingdom of God.
⭕️If you are born-again, you are a spirit being and that is what makes you superior to any other human being.
⭕️You can see the manifestations of the Spirit but you will never see the Spirit.
⭕️If you are trying to fight Satan and you’re concentrating on the natural, you have lost.
⭕️If you want to beat Satan, identify yourself with your true identity and you will put him down.
⭕️A born-again child of God sits at a higher place than the devil.
⭕️Anybody who will flow in the supernatural has an understanding of identity.
John 8:44, 4:24
⭕️The devil is a father, and God is also a father.
THINGS YOU MUST UNDERSTAND AS A CHILD OF GOD
1) YOU HAVE A NEW STATUS: YOU ARE A SPIRIT BEING AND NOT A MERE HUMAN BEING.
⭕️As a spirit being you must trade in the realm of spirit beings.
2) UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE A GOD, YOU ARE NOT A MERE HUMAN BEING [JOHN 10:31-36, PSALM 82:5-6, EXODUS 7:1, 2 PETER 1:3-4]
⭕️You cannot be a child of the Most High and not have His life and nature.
⭕️You are a god, make sure you say so.
⭕️Tell Satan that you are his god.
⭕️If you are a god, you have been ordained to defeat Satan for the rest of your life.
⭕️If you are a god, you have divine nature in you.
⭕️The nature of God cannot be captured by Satan.
3) YOU ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION [1 PETER 2:9]
⭕️By this choosing, you are a candidate for favour.
4) YOU ARE AN AMBASSADOR OF CHRIST ON THE EARTH [2 CORINTHIANS 5:20]
⭕️You are God’s representative on the earth.
⭕️You are a citizen of heaven and that is why God appointed you as an ambassador.
⭕️The spirit of excellence must always be around you because as an ambassador you are addressed as “your excellency”.
⭕️When you see an ambassador, you are not seeing an individual but the country he is representing.
