I want to exhort on how we can stir up an atmosphere for the manifestations of the supernatural acts of God in the church and in our lives.
An atmosphere of the word is always an atmosphere of the supernatural and miracles. One of the greatest secrets to stir the acts of God is to engage with the preacher. Many of us, when soaking in the word, don’t engage the preacher.
You do not put the preacher at ease. Many of us even avoid eye contact with the preach and are often absent minded when the preaching is going on.
The Bible tells us the story of a man who was healed while Apostle Paul was preaching. Apostle Paul was able to minister to the man because the man engaged with him.
Engage the Preacher
The Bible teaches that the man heard Apostle Paul as he spake. He engaged the apostle, and Paul beholding that he had faith to be healed ministered to him.
[Acts 14:6-10 KJV]“They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about: And there they preached the gospel.”
“And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother‘s womb, who never had walked: The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked”.
I have no doubt in my mind or heart that if we shall all strive to engage the preacher and respond to the messages, we will create an atmosphere that provokes the supernatural.
The word is all that you need to get all that you need. “There was nothing made that was made without the word.” Right from the beginning, everything has been by the word. All we must strive to do is to listen intently to stir up the spirit of the speaker!
Stay blessed
