INTRODUCTION:
The supernatural is the dimension where God operates, beyond human understanding or natural laws. As believers, we are called to live and function in this dimension through the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised that those who believe in Him will do greater works, manifesting His power and glory on earth. This message explores the keys to operating in the supernatural and living a victorious Christian life.

1. THE SUPERNATURAL IS YOUR INHERITANCE

a) Supernatural Life is God's Will for Believers:
God designed us to live in His power and authority (Genesis 1:26-28).

b) Access Through the Holy Spirit:
The Holy Spirit empowers believers to operate in the supernatural (Acts 1:8).

c) Victory Over Natural Limitations:
Living in the supernatural means rising above human limitations and challenges.

d) Supernatural Signs Confirm God's Presence:
Signs and wonders follow those who believe (Mark 16:17-18).

Biblical Example: Peter and John operated in the supernatural when they healed the lame man at the temple gate (Acts 3:6-8).

2. FAITH: THE FOUNDATION FOR THE SUPERNATURAL

a) Faith is the Key to Unlocking the Supernatural:
Without faith, it is impossible to please God or manifest His power (Hebrews 11:6).

b) Faith Connects Us to Divine Possibilities:
Believing in God's power activates the supernatural in our lives (Mark 9:23).

c) Faith Grows Through the Word of God:
The more we hear and meditate on God’s Word, the stronger our faith becomes (Romans 10:17).

d) Faith Requires Action:
Acting on God’s Word demonstrates faith and brings results (James 2:17).

Biblical Example: By faith, Jesus performed miracles such as calming the storm and feeding multitudes (Matthew 14:19-20).

3. THE POWER OF PRAYER AND FASTING

a) Prayer Connects Us to God’s Power:
A lifestyle of prayer is essential for operating in the supernatural (Luke 18:1).

b) Fasting Intensifies Spiritual Authority:
Fasting strengthens our spirit and increases our sensitivity to God (Isaiah 58:6).

c) Prayer and Fasting Break Demonic Barriers:
Jesus emphasized that some miracles require both (Matthew 17:21).

d) Consistency in Prayer is Key:
Regular communion with God builds a life of supernatural exploits.

Biblical Example: Elijah’s prayer brought fire from heaven, proving God’s power (1 Kings 18:36-38).

4. WALKING IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

a) The Holy Spirit is the Source of Supernatural Power:
Believers are empowered to do exploits through the Spirit (Acts 1:8).

b) The Holy Spirit Grants Boldness and Wisdom:
He enables us to speak and act with divine authority (Acts 4:31).

c) Spiritual Gifts for the Supernatural:
The Holy Spirit bestows gifts such as healing, prophecy, and miracles (1 Corinthians 12:8-10).

d) Yielding to the Spirit's Leading:
Sensitivity to the Spirit allows us to operate in divine timing and purpose.

Biblical Example: The apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit, turned the world upside down with signs and wonders (Acts 2:1-4).

5. A LIFE OF HOLINESS AND OBEDIENCE

a) Holiness Attracts God's Power:
A pure and righteous life aligns us with God’s supernatural workings (Hebrews 12:14).

b) Obedience Unlocks Divine Instructions:
Following God’s directives leads to miraculous breakthroughs (Deuteronomy 28:1).

c) Sin Hinders the Flow of the Supernatural:
Disobedience creates barriers to God’s power in our lives (Isaiah 59:2).

d) Holiness Demonstrates God's Character:
Living a holy life reflects God’s glory and power to the world.

Biblical Example: Daniel’s commitment to holiness resulted in supernatural deliverance from the lions' den (Daniel 6:22-23).

CONCLUSION:
Operating in the supernatural is the believer’s birthright. It requires faith, prayer, fasting, a relationship with the Holy Spirit, and a commitment to holiness. When we align with God’s principles, His power manifests in our lives, enabling us to do exploits for His kingdom.
