KINGDOM CULTURE: Supernatural Ministry – The New Normal (Notes)
We don’t want to just live in the memories of past miracles. We want fresh expressions of God’s glory that fuel advancement today!
Jesus promised that signs would follow believers and they would do even greater works than He.
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
John 14:12-14
We owe the world an opportunity to experience the power of God and an invitation to salvation because Jesus sent us into the world, just as the Father sent Him, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you; As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
John 20:21-23
Nothing is impossible with God. Therefore, no person or situation is beyond His ability to bring complete restoration.
And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
Matthew 17:20
Miracles did not stop with Jesus and the apostles.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8
The cross of Jesus does not simply make us good people; it creates a new kind of people who walk in His power and are naturally supernatural.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.
2 Corinthians 5:17
The Holy Spirit gives every believer the supernatural power to witness and release miracles, signs, and wonders.
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.
John 14:12
Love should be our primary motivation when we take risks to release the power of God’s Kingdom into the lives of others.
Let all that you do be done in love.
1 Corinthians 16:14
We walk as sons and daughters of God, revealing our Father’s goodness and calling others to repentance.
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
1 Peter 2:9-12
Our new normal is to live a Spirit-led life and assist in establishing God’s Kingdom on earth.
Injustice and works of darkness are an opportunity for God’s supernatural love and power to move through us.
The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,
Romans 5:20
The Father wants us to live in the fullness of the Kingdom, which means that we are to be persistent in prayer, waiting in faith for the Kingdom to break into every situation.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
John 10:10
We celebrate every victory, great and small, believing that every testimony of what Jesus has done creates faith and releases hope that He will do it again. In this way, a testimony is a prophecy of what Jesus is willing and able to do right now.
“The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Revelation 19
We are not Jesus.
By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.
Acts 3:12
We do not pursue a relationship with God just so we can perform signs and wonders.
Jesus said do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.
Luke 10
Miracles are an expression of the love and power of God, not an indication that we are more important in the Kingdom.
If, in our passion and enthusiasm to minister, we accidentally hurt or dishonor someone, we are quick to take responsibility and humbly apologize.
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Philippians 2:3-4
We do not have to strive for the grace needed to operate in signs and wonders.
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
1 Corinthians 15:10
The risks we take when ministering do not always result in the expected outcome.
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28
We will experience resistance to the gospel and persecution as we seek to follow Christ.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:10
