The Supernaturals 16

Hello everyone, sorry for the two days break in transmission. It was due to the program EVENING OF SUPERNATURALS that was held on Sunday. Thank God for the great things He did during the program; Salvation of souls, baptism in the Holy Ghost, Healings and Deliverances, Laughing/Singing/Running/Dancing in the Holy Ghost,etc, the Word of God was backed up with signs following. It was an amazing meeting. The program reaffirmed my convictions about some spiritual truths and increased my quest for MORE OF GOD. I am going to start Sharing on

HOW TO FLOW IN THE SUPERNATURALS
It will be grave injustice for curiosity to have been aroused to operate in the Supernaturals and the HOWS are not dealt with. Therefore, I will begin to teach the HOWS.

A. HUNGER
Benny Hinn said sometimes ago that HUNGER IS THE HALLMARK OF A TRULY SPIRITUAL PERSON.
You need to know that MAN IS A FREE MORAL AGENT WITH THE POWER OF CHOICE. God has not and will not force you to do anything. It is the Devil that forces. God respect our choices. Therefore, God cannot force His gifts on you when you don't want it. If He can, He should have forced Adam not to eat the forbidden fruits. He should have stopped humanity from Genesis till now from doing evil. God will not even force you to be saved. That's why people will keep going to Hell and God will honour their decision. Listen, GOD IS NOT SOVEREIGN AS FAR AS THIS PLANET IS CONCERNED. I say this with every forms of boldness I can muster from the Bible and experiences. Jesus says to pray for God's will to be done in Earth as it is done in Heaven. I went through all of these to tell you that SPIRITUAL GROWTH, MANIFESTATION OF THE SUPERNATURALS, ETC ARE NOT DETERMINED BY GOD BUT BY MAN. If you read Gal. 4 from verse one downward, you will discover this. Listen, the word 'child' as used in vs. 1 is Nepious-an adult babe; one that has refused to grow.
Gal  4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. The 'time appointed of the father' here means the time the father see that this child has grown.
Hunger is the crucible in which operating in the supernaturals are prepared.
Another wrong mindset I want to deal with originates from 1Cor  12:11 'But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will'. Many read this and enter a passive mode of waiting till 'THE SPIRIT WILLS' before they can flow in spiritual gifts. This is wrong and it is neither the intention of the Holy Spirit nor Paul's. How do you find out the Spirit's intention if you haven't press line and He says No? How can you be used of God to operate in the supernaturals when you are not even expecting it?
The same Paul that says 'as the Spirit wills' says in 1Cor  12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
He says COVET EARNESTLY. HE SAYS DESIRE SPIRITUAL GIFTS. These words don't look passive to me. Covetousness is a negative word yet, Paul teaches us that the reason it is negative is because of what you direct it at. You ga  covet spiritual gifts. You can COVET THE ANOINTING ON AN M. O. G. You can desire to do something that you heard or saw a person do for God. It is not bad. As a matter of fact, research has shown that most people that operated/operate in some dimensions coveted/built on what some others have done.
Hunger is not just known by confession but DEMONSTRATION.
Have you been very hungry before?
Have you been seriously pressed before? How did you handle it?
I just remember being in a meeting where a pastor said that one of his foreign pastor friend followed him to Nigeria to attend a Burial program. He said the program was staged on a Secondary School Football field. A point was reached where this foreigner felt like urinating. He told this pastor and he took him to the back of a Classroom and told him to urinate there. That one started blowing a lot of grammars. He just told him that they should return to their seats. It got to a point that this foreigner couldn't hold himself any longer. He told him, please let's go back there. This foreigner had begun to unzip his even before they got to the back of this classroom. That is desperation. A seriously pressed person doesn't care whether the toilet is neat or not. If you still care about it, the thing never hook you well well. Laugh. Hunger reaches a point that your behavior is not different from that of an addict. Have you met an addict before? He/she can do anything to satisfy that addiction. Pastors are quick to blame Esau for selling his birthright for food. We don't know the circumstances surrounding his hunger. If you have never been hungry before, you can't know how it feels. Listen, if you are not seriously hungry, some dimensions of the Spirit will forever remain a mirage to you. Hunger make you to pay and overpay the required amount of sacrifice needed for some spiritual things to happen.
Don't be deceived, there are PRICE TAGS ON THE SUPERNATURALS. The prices varies with the type of supernatural you want. The Disciples that have been given power and authority (Mt. 10) came back to Jesus with a trophy of triumph. Yet, the same Disciples met with a demon in Mt. 17 that they couldn't cast out. The Oga @ the Top told them 'this kin demon no fit komot without PRAYER AND FASTING. A faith person believes you are just supposed to make a bold declaration in faith and all will be well. A Grace person believe Jesus has paid the sacrifice all we have to do is enjoy what He has paid for. What they don't know is that many times you may have to tarry in prayers before the siege of darkness can move from a place. It was James that made us to know that Elijah had burnt energies in prayers before he went to make the bold statement of NO RAIN AND DEW.
It is your hunger that makes it easy to pay the sacrifice. There is an assurance in God's word;
 Mat  5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Your hunger shall be filled. Thirsty souls will receive water.
I can tell you the small level of God's power that I have seen has been sponsored by my hunger. There are many things that I know from God's Word that came because I pressed to know.
Hunger make you to ASK, SEEK AND KNOCK. Let your desire well up for God more than an average person. Don't join the critics of Miracles all because you can't do any. Idahosa said 'before you can criticise anyone, make sure you have done what the person did Ten times'. Many have become critics today because they couldn't pay enough sacrifice for God's power. Hunger is what make you  go through the pain without feeling it. How hungry are you for the supernaturals?
Let me stop here today to continue tomorrow.
