The supernatural is the natural habitat of every born again child of God. It is your birthright if you are redeemed. The supernatural is the only Biblical factor that lends credibility to Christianity. Minus the supernatural, Christianity will be another heap of frustrated human religion.

Christianity is the direct importation of the life of God into our human vessel, so we can operate in His class here on earth. And I believe God to place in your hand all it takes to flow naturally in the supernatural.

It, therefore, means that every word from God delivers only to the level of your understanding. So when I say, “In the name of Jesus”, it delivers according to the depth of my understanding of what that name carries.

When I say, “In Jesus name” and a demon possessed person is loosed immediately, some others may have to say it five times, and it may still not produce. Why? Our understanding of what the name carries differs …
