Hello everyone, welcome to another edition of the Supernatural Series. We are considering How to Flow in the Supernatural and I said that Hunger is the basic prerequisite for this. Today, I will sharing on
FAITH FOR THE SUPERNATURALS.
Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
We flow in the supernaturals by faith. Many times, there may not be any feeling. We walk by faith and not by sight. SENSORY PERCEPTION CANNOT NAVIGATE IN SPIRITUAL WATERS. You Should know by now that most times, your cerebral prowess has proven to be inefficient in understanding the ways of God. Enoch was translated by faith. He must have gone to the portal (physical location from where he was taken up to Heaven) as a response to a word of knowledge that he was given or a vision that he saw. Many times, all you will have is a WORD bidding you to do something. God, most times is not in the earthquakes or shakings, I am not saying God doesn't move that way. After all, the Holy Ghost descended with a sound as of a rushing mighty wind and the Church will ascend in a shout. But what I am saying is this, the only clue and evidence that you have may be the Word of knowledge handed out to you. For example, in the last program we had; Evening of Supernarnaturals, many of the supernatural things that happened there were purely an act of faith. We ministered to those seeking Holy Ghost Baptism and they received, we ministered to the sick and we saw instant results-eyes began to see well, a lady with glasses began to see without, Devils were cast out, etc. They happened BY FAITH.
Faith by textbook definition is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence (title deed, receipt) of things not seen. Heb. 11:1.
How Do Get Faith?
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
No Word of God (Written Word)/ Word from God (Spoken Word), THERE IS NO FAITH.
Faith is limited to the Word of God revealed to you. The action of Faith should be propelled by the Word of God unveiled to you. I must stress here that there are SPECIFIC WORD THAT GOD WILL GIVE TO YOU THAT ARE NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE BIBLE. I say this because of the error some people have entered into in overstressing the WRITTEN WORD AND DEMYSTIFYING THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. They don't know that CESASIONALIST believe that way also. They believe the Holy Spirit must say what is expressly written in the Word of God. This in itself a grave heresy. It means God can't give/show you who to marry, where to stay, the Career Path to choose,etc. Those things are secular things; it is not the Gospel, they say. You are in a limbo if you follow such people. There are instructions given by the Holy Spirit which are just peculiar to you and situations. There are no stereotype way to administer the power of God. If you are not skillful in following the Tour Guide(The Holy Ghost), you may end up in trouble. The Church is yet to distinguish between CONSTANTS AND VARIABLES. However, the Holy Spirit cannot lead you in opposition to God's Word. The Holy Spirit inspired the writing of the Word of God. There are denominations and people today that are into many sinful acts all in the bid of dispensing God's power. I can't imagine a pastor bathing for an opposite sex in the bid to deal with the person's problem or sleeping with another man's wife in order to deal with barrenness and so on. God doesn't lead this way. These things break laws that are already laid out in the Bible.
You have to be well grounded in the Word of God. This provide the basic foundation for judging every supernaturals but, let me puncture your religious tyre, GOD IS FAR BIGGER THAN THE BIBLE. THERE ARE MANY THINGS ABOUT HIM THAT THE BIBLE IS SILENT ABOUT(I won't there today) BUT, THE BIBLE STILL REMAIN THE ONLY MANUAL TO STUDY GOD IN THIS OUR PLANET.
This is a great mystery that you need to keep in your heart. They don't read the Bible in Heaven. The Written Word is the Living Word there. Study the Bible well. It opens you up to many possibilities in God's realm. But, there are instructions that you receive that have no precedence in the Bible. I can't still figure out which scriptural verse Sis Aimee McPherson built her faith on when she asked the males in her Church to push the Church's building while the females stay inside the Church to pray for their Church to move back from the government road else, it will be demolished. I wonder which scripture St. Patrick of Ireland stood on when he used to staff to sign his name on the graveyard of the son of the king of Ireland that had been dead for SIX MONTH. The story had it that they dug up a living boy after this. There are many examples that could be cited. What I am stressing is this, we are to walk with God by faith and not by sight. Many times, God will deliberately set out to off set your theology so as to expand your knowledge of Him.
God must not be made to fit into your Believe System, you are the one to fit into his. This was what made Peter to lose his chance of Ministering to the Gentiles. Study God's word very well. Read every available scripture on any aspect of the Supernatural you desire to flow in. There are some supernatural that I can almost give you all the scriptures available on them from Genesis to Malachi. That is not Grace, it came from labouring in the Word. Not everything is a free gift of grace. There are stuffs that come on the platform of labour. Labour in the Word, God confirms His Word with signs following. Labour in the Word, your profiting will appear unto all. Labour in the Word, God always honour FAITH. Labour in the Word, God watches over His Word to bring them to pass. Labour in the Word, God's Word is already anointed. The power to do is already present in the Word. Hallelujah! FAITH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BIBLE TRUTH. EVERY OTHER BIBLE TRUTHS RELY ON FAITH FOR EXPRESSION. Selah! If you don't believe, just tell me one that doesn't require faith.
I challenge all of you following this series to be more proficient in faith. Faith is a necessity for survival in these days and time and without faith, it is impossible to please God.
I stop here to continue tomorrow.
I remain Solomon Olufemi
