Have you ever gone on a treasure hunt? start at one place and follow the clues. Last night I went on one – with God! It started as a text. Have you ever written something without thinking? Then you go back and read it and wonder, “where did that come from?”
Someone sent me a compliment on worship. And it texted back,
“Thank you, water at knees now…” Their response was, “huh?”.
So was mine! So I started searching my Bible and found Ezekiel 47.
Ezekiel 47:12 AMP
And on the banks of the river on both its sides, there shall grow all kinds of trees for food; their leaf shall not fade nor shall their fruit fail [to meet the demand]. Each tree shall bring forth new fruit every month, [these supernatural qualities being] because their waters came from out of the sanctuary. And their fruit shall be for food and their leaves for healing.
Ok, I did not even know that word SUPERNATURAL was in the Bible. So as I’m sitting there pondering the Holy Spirit poses a question to me,
“Would there even be a Supernatural if you could meet all your needs in the natural?”
Uhhhhh, no. Do you want natural or supernatural provision? Natural or supernatural protection? Natural or supernatural healing? Yeah, I’ll take that Supernatural provision, thank you very much! Then I just had to search it out more. Yep, show me more Lord, show me more. Come to find out, we are supernatural kids! Really.
SUPERNATURAL
Isaiah 26:19
Your dead shall live [O Lord]; the bodies of our dead [saints] shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For Your dew [O Lord] is a dew of [sparkling] light [heavenly, supernatural dew]; and the earth shall cast forth the dead [to life again; for on the land of the shades of the dead You will let Your dew fall].
Ezekiel 47:12
And on the banks of the river on both its sides, there shall grow all kinds of trees for food; their leaf shall not fade nor shall their fruit fail [to meet the demand]. Each tree shall bring forth new fruit every month, [these supernatural qualities being] because their waters came from out of the sanctuary. And their fruit shall be for food and their leaves for healing.
John 6:30
Therefore they said to Him, What sign (miracle, wonderwork) will You perform then, so that we may see it and believe and rely on and adhere to You? What [supernatural] work have You [to show what You can do]?
1 Corinthians 10:1-4
For I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, that our forefathers were all under and protected by the cloud [in which God’s Presence went before them], and every one of them passed safely through the [Red] Sea,
And each one of them [allowed himself also] to be baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea [they were thus brought under obligation to the Law, to Moses, and to the covenant, consecrated and set apart to the service of God];
And all [of them] ate the same spiritual (supernaturally given) food,
And they all drank the same spiritual (supernaturally given) drink. For they drank from a spiritual Rock which followed them [produced by the sole power of God Himself without natural instrumentality], and the Rock was Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:1
Now about the spiritual gifts (the special endowments of supernatural energy), brethren, I do not want you to be misinformed.
1 Corinthians 14:22
Thus [unknown] tongues are meant for a [supernatural] sign, not for believers but for unbelievers [on the point of believing], while prophecy (inspired preaching and teaching, interpreting the divine will and purpose) is not for unbelievers [on the point of believing] but for believers.
1 Corinthians 15:44
It is sown a natural (physical) body; it is raised a supernatural (a spiritual) body. [As surely as] there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.
Galatians 4:30-31
But what does the Scripture say? Cast out and send away the slave woman and her son, for never shall the son of the slave woman be heir and share the inheritance with the son of the free woman.
So, brethren, we [who are born again] are not children of a slave woman [[a]the natural], but of the free [[b]the supernatural].
Ephesians 6:12
For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
