THE REALITY OF THE SUPERNATURAL




We live in a two dimensional world made up of the natural and the supernatural. The things that happen to and around us are determined by either the natural or supernatural world. 
The Natural realm: is a realm that is ruled by the operations of the five physical senses: of sight, touch, hearing, tasting and smelling. The natural world is limited and subject to the laws of time, space and matter. Miracles cannot take place in the natural realm for they take place outside the laws of time. Miracles are instantaneous. We live in a natural world bound by time but time has no effect on the realm of miracles.
The Supernatural realm: is a realm beyond the natural. It is a spiritual realm not bound by time: miracles take place in the supernatural realm. The spiritual world operates outside and above the natural world. It overrules the natural world. For a miracle to take place, the laws of nature must be overruled.
          The Supernatural realm is invisible and cannot be seen with the naked eyes. It is spiritual and eternal as well (2corinthians 4:16-18). The supernatural realm is everlasting but the natural world is temporary and subject to time. Faith is the door to the supernatural world (Hebrews 11:1). Faith dominates time.
              The Supernatural realm is also 2 dimensional: i) The Superior dimension controlled by God Almighty and ii) the evil dimension controlled by the devil. God is eternal being. He is immutable and can never be dethroned. He dwells and rules in eternity and His works are visible in the natural world. God is all powerful; He has supernatural abilities. The devil was created by God and is subject to the authority of God (Ezekiel 28:12-17). The devil was cast down by God when he sought to rebel against God; contrary to Gods original plan for creating him (isaiah14:12-14). The devil's supernatural realm only seeks to destroy whatever God has created (John 10:10). God has created man with a glorious destiny but satan always seeks to alter it from creation till date (James1:17) (1peter 2:9). satan brought the fall of man from walking in the supernatural-through Adams sin- and caused him to depend on his five senses.
           God sent His son Jesus Christ to reconnect man to His supernatural life (John 1:12) (2corinthians 5:17). The life of God in Jesus Christ is available to those who receive Him (John 5:26). Any man who receives Christ receives the eternal life of God (1John 5:11). The supernatural life of a believer can only be activated consciously; by realization of the fact you carry the life of God. Christianity is the manifestation of God in man.
