Experiencing the supernatural

One of the reasons why many Christians don’t experience the supernatural on a regular basis is a tricky one. Most people don’t expect that this could be a reason. It is because they seek the supernatural too much. And they get all anxious and restless. They want to feel or experience something, in fact they want that more than they want God. The result and also the problem with that is that they end up living by sight again and never get out of that immature place, instead of walking by faith. I am not against experiences at all, in fact my entire Christian walk is characterized by them. Being „anti-experiences“ or always warning of experiences is another reason why many don’t really experience God, but that is not the one I chose to focus on here. The following stood out to me as I studied the Word of God:

*John didn´t ask God to give him a special revelation, he was „in the Spirit on the Lords day“; when God chose to give him „the revelation“. (Rev. 1:10)

*Philipp didn’t ask God to please relocate him, he was doing Gods will when the Spirit of the Lord „suddenly“ took him away and transported him to another place. (Acts 8:39)

*Jesus didn’t ask for an angel to show up, he was seeking God and the father sent an angel to strengthen him (Luke 22:43).

What I’m saying is, I don’t seek experiences, I seek God. When I look back at my life and ministry and at some of the most unusual things that God has done, in almost every instance those things „just happened“ as I was following Jesus and doing what He said. Make sure you have the order right:

Diligently seeking Jesus
Diligently seeking Jesus
Diligently seeking Jesus

Don’t seek signs and wonders, seek Jesus and you will experience the supernatural

Hebräer 11:6
And it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek HIM. (NLT, emphasis added)
