Preparations
for Supernatural Manifestations
Memory
Verse: Psalm 62:11
(NKJV) God has spoken once,
Twice
I have heard this: That power belongs
to God.
Introduction:
“We
are a supernatural people, born again by a supernatural
birth, kept by a supernatural power, sustained
on supernatural food, taught by a supernatural
Teacher, from a supernatural Book. We are led by
a supernatural Captain in right paths to assured
victories.”—Hudson Taylor, Founder, China Inland Mission
I.
The Purpose of
Supernatural manifestation of God:
First, to glorify God (John 2:11; 11:40)
Second, to accredit certain workings of God in
people
Acts
2:22; Hebrews 2:3–4
Third,
to provide evidence for belief in God
John
6:2; 14;20:30–31; Psalm 62:11
“The secret of the success of the
Apostles lay not in what they did and said, but in the presence of Christ in
them and with them. They saw with the eyes of Christ, felt with His heart, and
worked with His energies. They were nothing, Christ was
everything. Christ was living, breathing, and triumphing in their personal
lives. Their entire nature being replete with His light, and their souls
kindled with the fires of His love, they moved in the midst of men
as embodiment of supernatural power.” - G John.
