Supernatural Interventions Today_7

Sunday July 25th Science, Scriptures and the Supernatural 7 God designed us to live a supernatural life, if not for the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, the supernatural life would have been our normal way of life. Because of our original roots in the supernatural, humans still crave the supernatural experience. This craving is expressed in our desire to explore the unknown, attempt new things and the box office ratings of movies with supernatural undertones. Jesus alluded to the fact that the believer is destined for the supernatural when he said. MK 16:17 says "These signs shall follow those that believe..." Many have the false belief that the supernatural life is meant for the clergy or some special class of believers. No! It is meant for everyone that believes. The bible says that the secret things belong to God but the things revealed are for us and our children so that we can profit from them. And Proverbs 2:7 says “Sound Wisdom is laid up for the righteous…” This Wisdom is laid up for us so that we can discover them and take advantage of them. The supernatural acts of God are usually a pointer to what He wants man to accomplish. Consider these encounters. When God delivered Israel from the Egyptians by taking them across the Red Sea, that supernatural encounter gave the idea that man can go across the sea. Today with the help of science and technology man has been able to cross the sea using ships, bridges, airplanes and even submarines. In 2nd Kings 3, Solomon displayed supernatural wisdom to solve a very complicated problem in his days. Two women were in contention over the motherhood of a baby. Solomon had the responsibility of proofing the identity of the real mother without any witness. He instructed that the baby be cut in two and divided to both of them, one agreed to his decision and the other said she’d rather give up the baby to the other woman than watch the baby die, only a mother would agree. That’s how Solomon was able to determine the true identity of the mother. The idea of proving the identity is done today by DNA test and other tests but Solomon by the supernatural wisdom of God demonstrated that ability first. A man was reading the Book of Ezekiel about “wheels within wheels” This divine insight gave him the idea to design shopping trolleys with wheels within wheels so that they can move easily in all directions. George Washington Carver, the great scientist said that God showed him how he could make over 400 items out of the peanut. Both men got inventions from supernatural encounters. Discoveries in technology, art and science are simply God’s work that He allows mankind to find. It’s time to believe God for supernatural ideas that will lead to new discoveries in all areas. God bless you. Enjoy your day
