I thought it would be good to take a moment to understand what it truly means to live a supernatural life as described in Scripture. This isn’t about the sensational or mystical aspects often associated with the supernatural but rather about embracing a life that transcends the natural inclinations of the world. Living supernaturally means aligning our lives with God’s presence and promises, which calls us to be different from the world. It involves loving our enemies, sacrificing for others, and living with humility and faith.

The essence of living supernaturally is to live in the presence of God, which is not confined to specific moments or places but is a constant state of being. This presence empowers us to overcome the natural tendencies of selfishness, fear, and sin. It challenges us to deny the world’s influence and embrace a life of faith, where believing is seeing rather than the other way around.

The presence of God is not something to be sought after in specific experiences or places; it is ever-present and calls us to be His presence in the world. This means living out our faith in practical ways, showing forth the praises of God in our daily lives. It requires shifting from being consumers of spiritual experiences to contributing to God’s kingdom.

The supernatural life is marked by a constant awareness of God’s presence, which transforms our natural responses to life’s challenges. It is about living by faith, not sight, and allowing God’s power to work through us to accomplish His purposes. Over the next few posts, we will explore how we can live every aspect of our lives—our marriages, parenting, work, and personal struggles—in the presence of God, thereby experiencing the supernatural every day.
