Developing a Supernatural Lifestyle
INTRODUCTION
In the days of the prophet Elijah, there arose a company of men who were called the “sons of the prophets.” These men traveled throughout the world ravaging the powers of darkness and wreaking havoc on evil kingdoms. They had no tolerance for the destructive behavior of wicked kings but rather turned many to righteousness. They raised the dead, healed the sick, parted rivers, destroyed false prophets, and saw revival spread out through their land. They were feared by many and respected by all. They walked in great purity, and God was their friend.
Today, all around us, wickedness continues to grow, taking root in the lives of those we love and eroding the very foundation of our country. Satanism is spreading like wildfire. Psychics laugh in the face of the Church as they demonstrate the power of the dark side. Divorce is destroying our families and violence our children. Cancer, AIDS, other diseases take the lives of so many. Yet the words of our Lord Jesus echo through the halls of history: “These signs will follow those who believe” and “Greater works than these [you] will do, because I go to My Father” (Mark 16:17; John 14:12 NKJV).
In Acts 3:25, Peter says, “It is you who are the sons of the prophets.” It is time for the Body of Christ to rise up
and receive our inheritance! We must rid ourselves of complacency and restore the ancient boundaries of holiness and demonstrations of great power. We cannot be satisfied with illustrated sermons, great music, and friendly services. We have been called to see the powers of darkness destroyed and our ruined cities restored.
In the days of Moses, God demonstrated His power to Pharaoh, but Pharaoh counter-attacked by having his sorcerers duplicate the miracles of God. Then the God of Heaven, who has all power, performed extraordinary miracles so that even the sorcerers said, “This must be God. We cannot perform these miracles.” Finally Pharaoh was overcome by God’s power and let His people go.
I believe that the Pharaoh of this world is about to let go of our cities as God demonstrates His raw, superior power through His Church. We are in the midst of the greatest revival in human history. Yet there remains a distance between what should be and what will be.
That distance is you!
What will you be?
You are the bridge between history and His story. You are the bridge!
You are the sons of the prophets!
The sick, the demonized, the poor, the blind, the lame and the lost are all waiting to see what you have learned.
Don’t disappoint them!
