[Acts 19:1-12 KJV]
And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, [2] He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. [3] And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. [4] Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. [5] When they heard this , they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. [6] And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. [7] And all the men were about twelve. [8] And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. [9] But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. [10] And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. [11] And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: [12] So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
We are in the golden age of the church; the season of both the early and latter rain. We are in the season of signs, wonders and special miracles. This is the days of the supernatural. I pray that you will walk in the supernatural realm of life. As it was prophetically declared; beginning this month, you will experience mighty breakthroughs in life.
Each one of us must walk in signs and wonders. All our sick must be healed and all our oppressed must be loosed. This is the season of signs and mighty works. These things however do not work in vacuum; they happen when certain structures and systems are in place. Signs, wonders and miracles will be an everyday occurence when we learn to the following secrets;
Honour the anointing:
In Mark 6, we learn that our Lord Jesus Christ travelled to His hometown and began to teach. He taught with great authority and the people marvelled at His wisdom, yet He could not do any mighty works there, because of their unbelief. It is in this city that the Lord said “a prophet is not without honour, except in his own country and among his people”.
This clearly teaches that the anointing and grace will work for you if you can honour it. We must therefore learn to honour the anointing on our prophet. We must give to support his ministry; be there to serve and to enhance his ministry. We must learn to honour his prophecies; take his words seriously and not allow familiarity to creep in among us.
Be filled with the Holy Ghost:
Listen, without the Holy Ghost, you cannot even understand what is being taught in the church. This is because spiritual things are spiritually discern. The Holy Ghost is given as our great teacher, to lead us into all truth.
We must be very concerned about being filled with the Holy Ghost. A carnal church cannot experience the supernatural.
We can be filled by the Holy Ghost by asking or praying for it. We must pray and ask God specifically for it.
Galatians 3:5 also teaches that we can be filled with the Holy Ghost by the hearing of faith. In acts 10:44, we understand that as Apostle Peter was speaking in the house of Cornelius, and as they listened by faith, the Holy Spirit was poured from on high upon them. As a result, they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
Thirdly, you may be filled with the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands of a man or woman called in such a ministry. In Acts 8, a sorcerer offered money to Apostle Peter in exchange for the ability to lay hands on people and impart the Holy Ghost to them. But Apostle Peter rebuked him sharply and stated very clearly that he had no portion in such a ministry. The Holy Ghost may be given through the laying on hands.
Be filled with the Holy Ghost! Learn to hear by the hearing of faith. If we want to walk in the supernatural, then every convert must receive the Holy Ghost. We must all be filled with the Holy Ghost. Many things will happen when every one of us is filled with the Holy Ghost.
Be separated from those who speak evil of the Way:
The next important key to a life of signs, miracles and divine speed is to be separated from people who speak evil of the way. There is a difference between offering objective and constructive criticisms and speaking evil of the way. In the days of the apostles, when many became hardened and spoke evil of the way, the disciples separated themselves from them. Don’t keep the company of those who speak evil of way; the way of faith in Christ.
Continue in the doctrine and sweet fellowship:
We must meet frequently; the early church in Ephesus met daily for two years straight. We must continue in the doctrine and fellowship, and signs will continue to flow.
Step out and witness with boldness:
Finally, as we step out and preach everywhere, God will be with us, working with us and confirming the word with signs and wonders (See Mark 16:15-20)

This is our season and the golden age of the church. We must see great and mighty signs and God is committed to it. It is my prayer that none of us will be without a testimony. May the Lord do all the great and mighty things that you are trusting Him for. Amen!
Be blessed, I love you!
