I’d like you to know that living a supernatural life is the only way to recapture the glory that was lost in the first Adam. Adam was a supernatural being in the garden until sin came, and he descended to the natural realm. But the glory of God is only guaranteed in the supernatural.

When Jesus was coming into the world, the Bible said concerning Him in prophecy:

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.” Isaiah 7:14-15

Jesus was born a sign. Among the signs that was listed that He would manifest is that butter and honey shall He eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good. That means He will not suffer any lack; He will be in command. And hear what Jesus said about you: “As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you” (John. 20:21).

Friend, you are here as a sign! You are in this world as a sign. New birth qualifies you as a sign. You are a sign to your world. That means you are not designed to live a natural life. The ministry I am privileged to run is not a natural ministry, and everybody knows it, as it is not operating in the natural sphere.

The Church of Christ is a supernatural body of believers. When you become conscious of your supernatural status, you gain command of the affairs of life, and you enjoy God’s glory. “The Lord Himself shall give you a sign.” You are given as a sign to your world; therefore, things must not happen to you the same way it happens to natural men.

Know Who You Are!

Your consciousness of who you are – a supernatural being – is what puts you in command of situations and circumstances around you. You are no longer just a human being after you got born again; you have become a spirit being inside a human vehi-cle, for that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 

Just as Adam still had a body before the fall, as it was his spirit which died that brought him down to the natural realm, so you have a body like Adam’s before the fall; but inside you now is a living spirit, which is what makes you a supernatural being. But because we live in a natural environment, most of us have lost the consciousness of our true status, which is the supernatural. But it’s time to return to our supernatural status in Christ! It’s time to recapture our lost glory of the supernatural, so we can regain command in all areas we had lost it.

“They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.” Psalm 82:5-7

Why would they die like men and fall like one of the princes? Because they know not, neither do they understand who they are, so they lose control and suffer what natural men suffer. But no more, because you are returning to your supernatural roots!

Jesus said to the Pharisees, “Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world” (John 8:23). He had a supernatural mentality, He was conscious of His source. He said, “I am from above, you are from beneath, that’s why I am different. I know where I come from; I am not in doubt of my roots. I know I am connected to the Source above, that’s why My life on earth isn’t like yours.”

I’d like you to understand that you are from above on a mission here below, therefore, you have the immunity of the place you come from, just as ambassadors do. You are not like everybody here on earth; there is something unique about you. That is why the Bible says you are a peculiar people, you are a royal priesthood, and you are a holy nation. You have been chosen to show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. New birth qualifies you to live a marvelous life, a live that makes men marvel at you.

Do you want to start living that marvelous life? Then get back to your supernatural roots! You have been set apart to live a marvelous life, don’t disappoint destiny.

You are to show forth God’s praises; that is, people will praise Him as they see you, because of the marvels around you, just as it happened to the sister in this testimony…
