Living in the miraculous. Read 1 Cor. 2:5

1. Introduction: Pray for sensitive hearts. Let the vastness of God and what He is doing worldwide take hold of you. Allow Him to reveal His majestic glory to you. This is a time where we need to be more than just a good church. We need more of God to be effective. The flesh wants ease. The devil wants defeat. The world wants conformity. GOD WANTS ALL OF YOU!

2. God is taking us in a good land (Deut. 8:7). He has already given us all (Rom. 8:32). Move into it. Increase your capacity for more of God. Read (John 10:10+Eph. 3:19+John 7:38.
A life filled with the life of Jesus! God is calling us to become...The fire of God's Spirit will burn in the souls of those who will make themselves available to it. To get what we never had, we must do what we've never done. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven...

3. The reality of the supernatural world (Col. 3:1-4). Authentic Christianity brings demonstrations of heaven to earth. Todd Bentley says, "I don't ask God for specific experiences, I just make myself available and say, God whatever you want to give or show me, or wherever you want to take me is fine." Not only believing, but living in the supernatural! People in the Bible experienced many supernatural experiences like revelations, trances, angelic visitations, visitations of God, dead been raised, sick being healed etc. It is time to lift our standard and expectation of how much of God we can have and see NOW! Exercise our spiritual sense (Hebr. 5:14). God's ability to keep you is far greater than the devils ability to deceive you.
Our desire for the supernatural and spiritual experiences must be motivated by a passion to know Jesus. Every spiritual encounter is about intimacy with Jesus! Todd Bentley says, "The more I see and experience Him and His kingdom, the more I want to give all of myself to Him."
Jesus open our eyes by your Spirit. This is the church's finest hour-press into it.
Trust in a loving, good, heavenly Father who gives good things to His children who ask Him. Read (Matth. 7:11).
