READ: Genesis 28:10-16
“…the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God…because they are spiritually discerned.” – 1 Corinthians 2:14
I became a born-again Christian in the Scripture Union whilst I was in secondary (high) school. In those days, the emphasis was on the Word of God. We learnt how to have a personal “quiet time”, how to study the Bible, and the integrity of the Word of God.
Because of such teachings, I have been solidly founded on the Word of God. I want things to be Bible- based, otherwise, it is just not good enough! This dependence on the Word of God has also brought me to the supernatural.
The Bible directs us to a God who is a Spirit. The Bible teaches us about angels that cannot be seen in the natural. The New Testament is full of instructions concerning the Holy Spirit. In spite of this, many Christians are left out of the blessings of the supernatural.
Jacob came to a place, made himself a pillow and lay down to sleep. He had a supernatural experience during the night. When he awoke in the morning he said, “The Lord was in this place, and I knew it not.”
This is the testimony of many believers. The Lord is with them and they don’t even know it. Angels stand by their side and they are not even aware of it. The Holy Spirit speaks to them and they don’t even know it.
I am always surprised that there are people who do not believe in miracles and yet are committed Christians. Is it intentional blindness to what is so obvious?
