EXPERIENCING THE SUPERNATURAL BY OTHUSITSE MMUSI

1.What makes some people to have dreams and visions while others do not?

Did you notice Joel 2:28, when the Spirit comes, Daughters n sons shall prophesy, Young man shall see visions.

There are young men called for visions and revelations, there are people called for that ministry, yet believers have a measure of the dreams and visions , just like there are people called with gift of healing yet all believers can have an occasional manifestation of healing, Mark 16:15-17, they shall LAY HANDS on the sick, the believers called for healing ministry, they have gift of healing while believers with occasional healing manifestation have FAITH in God's word.

So why others have dreams & visions and others don't?
-Because other people are not called there primarily
-they are ignorant of what the outpouring of the Spirit is for
-they are other issues that I will mention

2.What causes delay or unfulfilled manifestation even after God speaks to you that you will experience something supernatural?

-Living an unholy life, presence of sin
-doubt and unbelief, not acting on the word, just remaining passive and not acting on the prophetic word

3.Why new born again Christians sometimes experience a move of God than believers who have been born again many years?
-God is encouraging them to be strong
-they are child like, trusting and believing God
-God treats baby Christians differently than normal believers, he can put up with a bit of unbelief in them, even sometimes living as they please, until they reach time to mature
-New believers sometimes are more teachable than old Christians, Smith Wigglesworth said, i rather pray with a new born again Christian than an old Pentecostal christian, he said, they are too much noise but with no power

4. If someone used to have regular dreams n visions, then suddenly it stops
- (rarely) God uses that to train you to walk by faith
-most of the time, the person has shifted from right standing with God(backsliding)
-presence of sin
-Pride and bad character that God hates
-the gift becomes inactivated as one leaves God's presence which makes the gift to mature and be active

5. Dreams and visions are ways the Holy Spirit lead us, read the bible from Genesis to Revelation, Old testament to new testament, God always leads his people by his voice, visions, dreams and prophecy, he doesn't change.

So most of the time, why people fail to experience dreams and visions from God its because something is wrong, but the fault can never be with God and no one can stop you from hearing from God, its only your self. God desires to speak to us and lead us.

One of the reason why people fail to walk in the supernatural, people do not have faith but mental assent, some people are not passionate about God of the supernatural, they HOPE the supernatural, but we must BELIEVE, there are people who are excited about soccer, Tv, movies etc but when it is time for God, they show no interest, such people are not material for the supernatural.

You must read the bible and books on the supernatural, you must develop RIGHT motives for the supernatural, have GOOD character, live holy, put Jesus first in your life, desire and pursue the spiritual gifts and fruit, do not fake or pretend, be TEACHABLE (God hates unteachable spirit), there are people who will never learn or ask for help, they do when it is too late, How can you be liking, following posts, messages on other stuff, soccer, movies but you are not reading/ following posts/messages when someone talks about the supernatural? You will reap what you sow.

There are people i will pray for to experience supernatural, God sometimes tells me, that one wont experience it until they change, God knows their hearts, every man's walk with God is upon his own hands, If one doesnt decide to be serious, people will just overtake one in the spirit.

6. How come three people can hear the same message and receive same prophecy but one person gets the result?
-others hear not with spiritual ear
-God is not first in their lives
-they have no faith
-sin

If you always see your walk with God in positive terms , know there is a problem, if you always blame other people for your lukewarmness, you will not change. Never give excuse for sin and bad character, the sooner you deal with that, the better.

You can't say you are in right standing with God, when you have bad character, steal, lie, cheat, insults, miss church , being lazy to pray or read the bible, lusting after boys/girls, worldly music and movies, talk like worldly people, drink beer, hatred, party animal etc angels hate sin and disobedience, they will stay away from you

You can't disobey God in one area n expect him to bless you in another, you can't miss church then expect to walk in the supernatural, you can't refuse to tithe and expect to be anointed, you can't be lazy to pray & read the bible, but expect to see angels & visions. How can you live in fornication/immorality and expect to be used by God, to walk in the supernatural?

Also some people do read the bible, pray and fast but they will not walk in the supernatural because they do not regard or honor the principles of God, some pray with wrong motives, to be famous, celebrated, to have more money etc God knows our hearts. Some after their quest for the supernatural fails, they turn bitter against those who walk in the supernatural, the same people begin to criticize that which they believed in and sort after, but God is not mocked. He knows our hearts.

LET THOSE WHO HAVE AN EAR HEAR,

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

Genesis 32:27-28
27 [The Man] asked him, What is your name? And [in shock of realization, whispering] he said, Jacob [supplanter, schemer, trickster, swindler]!

28 And He said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob [supplanter], but Israel [contender with God]; for you have contended and have power with God and with men and have prevailed.

Our names show identity. In Genesis 3 the bible says whatever Adam called every animal remained as it's name even up till today. Jacob had been known as a supplanter. When he met God, He asked him of his name. Was the name of Jacob hidden from God? In other words God was asking him "how do you call yourself". He had been known for his schemes. God was asking him do you also call yourself a supplanter? Is that how you see yourself? God was not just requesting his name. He wanted his identity and his identity was how he saw himself.

When God asks a man a question it is meant to draw out what is in the man and establish what He wants. God looks at the end product of a situation not just the surface. He changed Jacob's name to Israel. God was telling him I have a covenant with you Jacob. You can't carry the image of a supplanter and remain in this covenant. Henceforth this is how you are going to see yourself and be known. What is your name? What is everyone calling you? How do you call yourself through your situations? Wrestle with The Lord in prayer. He will change your name. He says if we seek Him with our whole hearts we shall find Him. What does it mean to seek Him with our whole hearts? Jacob exhausted all that is was within his capacity in order to get to this place. He had to stay all night to get what He wanted. When we seek God to the point when our very life is at stake He will answer.

MISERABLE COMFORTERS

Job 16:2 ;I have heard many such things; Miserable comforters are you all!

Characteristics of miserable comforters

-Initially they seem to show concern when
trouble arises. They will travel a great distance to come and mourn with you. They seem to share in your sorrow for a short time but when
your condition doesn't improve they show what is on the inside.

- They may be sympathetic or may be driven by pity but they are not empathetic. They know you
are in distress but they can't come to terms that they could be in your situation.

- They are presumptuous. They speak of what
they don't understand. They will blame you for
your misery and may go to the extent of making you doubt your faith.

-They end up making you feel more miserable instead of providing solutions to your problems.

THE LONGING SOUL

God will grant you whatever you sincerely hunger for. It is written He satisfies the longing soul. Many times we do not receive because we leave the mountain when we are tired or when things don't work as we expected. Sometimes too we do not receive because our focus is not on Him but on others. What fetched others results may not fetch you results. We must learn to run our own race and fight our own battles.

Any man who lives his entire life imitating ends up setting a limit on his life. You heard brother A fasted for 40 days to reach where he is so you want to follow suit. Our pursuit of God should be based on love. Pray with the love of God in your heart. Fast with the love of God in your heart. Study the Word of God with the love of God in your heart. Let God see in your heart you desire Him. The key to walking in uncommon power,signs and wonders is a genuine love for God. Know that every quality time spent with God is a time of sowing. Do men sow and reap immediately? The seed has to be watered over and over until it springs up. You have to keep on praying,worshiping,studying,remain faithful. That is your plantedness in God. When your time of increase comes, all will see.

OUR FAITHFULS

Luke 22:28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

We are to love all people, be kind to all men but our benevolence and commitments to our faithfuls should differ.

Hold those who stayed with you during your hour of trial in high esteem.

The Lord cherished his faithfuls so much that He promised them a kingdom. Discern those who only come to you when they are hungry. Don't put them in the same group with your faithfuls.

Don't give the food of your faithfuls to your fair weather friends. That is not wisdom. In heaven we will not be rewarded equally. We will be rewarded according to our closeness with Jesus during our earthly life.

YOU NEED A JUDAS AND A PETER

Jesus never promised us a smooth ride in our Christian journey. While we live each day making efforts to fulfill our divine purpose on earth, God will allow Judas Is Cariot and a Simon Peter to come our way. They will be placed there in order for us to fulfill our destiny.

Why Do We Need A Judas?

A Judas will carry out the enemy's plan of eliminating us. A Judas will hand us over to situations that will seemingly cement our destinies. The enemy will partner with Judas to wipe us but it is in our demise that God will glorify us. Jesus earned His name because of the things He went through including death which Judas was part. We should not be afraid of the Judas'. They are there to take us to a place of glory. Satan may carry his agenda through them but he does not know the power of God afterwards.

Why Do We Need A Simon Peter?

A Simon Peter has a forward spirit. On the surface they appear they are very faithful but when the storms increase they chicken out. God allows Simon Peters in our lives so that we will not depend on man's words. Jesus taught us through Simon Peter's weakness that we are not to be offended by the acts of people who leave us when we need them most. When Jesus resurrected, he put Simon Peter's sins behind Him and gave him a commission. We can also learn forgiveness through an encounter with Simon Peter. God also uses Simon Peter to deal with the insecurities in our lives.

Simon Peter's denial is God's approval. When we are left to stand all by ourself God will not leave us alone. When all men abandon us on the road of divine destiny, God will not abandon us.

John 16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

INTIMACY

It equally interests God that we come to know and fully understand the work of redemption and its entitlements the same way He yearns every man on earth will be saved. Whatever He says about His redeemed that's what they really are. Remember scripture says it is impossible for God to lie(Hebrews 6:18). When God says we are seated above in heavenly places, that is where we really are. You might have heard It a 100 times.

The Patriarchs had a view of God's promises through the eyes of faith though they did not receive it in this life. Have a picture that you actually there. Relate with The Father with the consciousness that you are seated with Christ surrounded by innumerable angels. When we begin to approach God that way, prayer will no longer be burdensome. Worship will not only be about singing. Jesus once told me "You have access to the heavenlies 24/7. Just separate yourself from the distractions of the world and come." We can visit heaven throughout the day. The true home of our regenerated spirits is heaven. When God through Paul told us to come boldly before the throne of grace, He meant more than dragging oneself into his prayer closet. The One who called you to come has already positioned you there. Just believe and approach. God desires to fellowship with us always. Many Christians cease to be Christians after their quiet time. They give God an hour and reason within themselves I've given God what is due Him. Noo!!!!! That's not how it works or was intended to be. If we are seated with Him far above principalities,powers and dominions then we ought to live according to what has been conferred on us. The chief inspector of police does not leave his post when he leaves his office because he knows his position has been conferred on him. He lives it as long as he remains in this position.

The highest form of spiritual relationship is to live the full life of our redemption. In heaven we will be known by how deep we walked with Him. We cannot go deeper with Him if we do not understand His redemption plan. The reason why many get frustrated after so much spiritual exercise is because they do not fully understand who they are. We should come to know,believe and accept that whatever He says we are. That's our true identity.

When God told Abraham he had made him a father of many nations there was no evidence on ground but he forsaw God's promise through the eyes of faith.
