Introduction: Supernatural Living Isn’t Fiction—It’s Your Birthright
Life as a Christian is not meant to be mundane or ordinary. The Bible is filled with accounts of supernatural feats—walking on water, teleportation, heavenly visions—that weren’t just for Jesus, His disciples, or the prophets of old. These acts are demonstrations of the limitless power God has given to His children through the Holy Spirit. Believer, it’s time to shift your thinking and embrace the reality that you, too, are called to walk in this supernatural power.
1. Walking on Water: Trust Over Fear
When Peter walked on water (Matthew 14:29), he wasn’t displaying some abstract divine ability—he was responding to Jesus’ invitation to step into the miraculous. The key was trust. The moment Peter doubted, he began to sink.
How This Applies Today: Believers can metaphorically and literally walk over “impossible” situations by keeping their focus on Jesus. This isn’t just a story; it’s a blueprint for living above fear and impossibility.
2. Teleportation: God’s Instantaneous Guidance
One of the most mind-bending accounts of the Bible is Philip being transported instantly after baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch. Acts 8:39-40 says, “The Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away… Philip, however, appeared at Azotus.” This was not magic; it was the power of God moving His servant where he was needed most.
How This Applies Today: God can move you—spiritually or physically—into places you never imagined. Through prayer and faith, the Holy Spirit can guide your steps, take you to new territories, or accelerate your journey.
3. Walking Through Walls: Freedom from Natural Limitations
After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples in a locked room, walking through the walls to be with them (John 20:19). This wasn’t merely about His glorified body; it demonstrated the authority He had over physical barriers.
How This Applies Today: Barriers, whether spiritual or physical, cannot hold back those who walk in God’s authority. With faith, believers can overcome the “walls” of fear, doubt, or physical constraints in their lives.
4. Seeing the Spiritual Realm: A Window into God’s World
Throughout the Bible, God opened the eyes of His people to see the spiritual realm. Elisha prayed for his servant in 2 Kings 6:17: “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Immediately, the servant saw the heavenly armies surrounding them.
How This Applies Today: Believers can access spiritual vision through prayer and intimacy with God. This could be in dreams, visions, or heightened discernment—gifts that allow us to see beyond the physical and into God’s divine workings.
5. Heavenly Journeys: Ascending in the Spirit
The Apostle John’s Revelation (Revelation 4:1-2) begins with him being “in the Spirit,” where he was taken to heaven and shown the mysteries of God. Similarly, Paul speaks of being caught up to the third heaven (2 Corinthians 12:2-4). These weren’t outliers—they are experiences available to believers walking closely with God.
How This Applies Today: Through the Holy Spirit, believers can have encounters with God that defy natural understanding. Prayer and worship can usher you into God’s presence where heavenly mysteries are revealed.
6. The Case of Moses and Pharaoh: Superior Power
In Exodus 7:10-12, Moses demonstrated the power of God when his staff turned into a serpent that swallowed the serpents conjured by Pharaoh’s magicians. The enemy may mimic God’s power, but God’s authority is always purer, higher, and victorious.
How This Applies Today: Believers should never fear the enemy’s counterfeits. By walking in God’s power, you carry a supernatural authority that far surpasses anything the world or darkness can offer.
How to Unlock These Powers
Become Like a Child: Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3). Childlike faith is the key to unlocking supernatural living. Believe without reservation.
Renew Your Mind: Romans 12:2 tells us, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” The supernatural begins when you let God reshape your thinking. Stop believing the lie that these powers aren’t for you today.
Develop Intimacy with Jesus: Spend time in prayer, worship, and meditation on God’s Word. The closer you are to Him, the more you will understand His heart and access His power.
Engage the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is the source of all supernatural power. Invite Him to lead, guide, and empower you. As you walk in obedience to Him, the miraculous will follow (Acts 1:8).
Rebuke the Lies of the Enemy: The enemy wants you to think these gifts are unattainable or only for a select few. Rebuke these lies with Scripture, declaring who you are in Christ: “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).
Step into Your Supernatural Identity
Believer, you are not ordinary. You are a child of the Most High God, equipped with His Spirit and empowered to walk in supernatural authority. Don’t settle for a mundane Christian life when God has called you to live as a co-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17).
Like Moses, Philip, Peter, and Paul, you have access to the miraculous. The enemy may try to mimic it, but the power of God in you is unmatched. This is your birthright, your inheritance, and your identity as a son or daughter of God. The time has come to step into your fullness.
Will you join the journey? Will you live as the supernatural child of God you were created to be? The Spirit and the Word are calling you higher. The only question left is: Are you ready?
