POINTS The supernatural life is a life beyond natural limitations, where we depend on the power of God rather than living by our natural way of thinking.
Living by the supernatural means allowing the power and direction of the Holy Spirit to influence our decisions and actions. It is living a life of faith, prayer, dependence on the Holy Spirit, and obedience to God.
1. LIVE BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT (2 Cor 5:7) We should walk by faith, not by sight, because what we see can sometimes make us afraid. Even when what God says appears contrary to what we see, we should trust God, His Word, and declare it.
2. DEVELOP A CONSISTENT PRAYER LIFE (Luke 5:16) We have to learn to separate ourselves and pray, just as Jesus withdrew Himself to pray. Nothing is too small or too big to pray about because God hears and answers prayer.
3. DEPEND ON THE HOLY SPIRIT (Zach 4:6) The Holy Spirit is the key and the one who makes the difference. We should depend on the Holy Spirit to guide our decisions, conversations, relationships, ministry, and every daily activity.
4. OBEY GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS (John 2:2, 5, 7-10) God's instructions are very important, and some instructions may look stupid. The servants at Cana obeyed Jesus by filling the water pots and drawing out the water, and they experienced the miracle.
5. SPEAK GOD'S WORD (Mark 11:23) We should speak the Word of God continually and declare the promises of God. In the face of fear and impossibility, we should continue to speak what God has said.
6. EXPECT GOD TO WORK THROUGH YOU A supernatural Christian should expect God to work through them and be a channel of blessing.
God wants to use us as vessels through which others experience His presence, grace, healing, provision, and salvation.
