Living in the Supernatural

The law of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. Rom 8:2

I have often pondered about The Kingdom of Heaven being a supernatural, miraculous, joyful place where the Glory of God and His Love fills and permeates every living thing in the glorious colours of the Majesty of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The above scripture gives me great comfort in knowing that there is a law of life in Christ.  This is not a theory but an immutable law that there is life in Christ and it superimposes the law of sin and death. Sin and death reign in those outside of Christ, but when we acknowledge that we are in desperate need of His forgiveness paid for us at Calvary we exchange to the law of life in Christ. He gives us His life, we become new creatures in Him and as the Bible teaches, God gives us a new heart that begins to yearn for more of Him in our lives.

This life flows to us not only at the new birth but we should see this supernatural power throughout our life on earth.  The Lord God is a God of goodness, mercy and compassion and I love the title that the net translation of Isaiah 61, which is Jesus mandate to alleviate human suffering, is "The Lord will Rejuvenate His people."  Jesus commission on earth was that He was anointed to:-

encourage the poor,
to help the brokenhearted,
to decree the release of captives,
and the freeing of prisoners,
2
to announce the year when the Lord will show his favour,
the day when our God will seek vengeance,
to console all who mourn,
3
to strengthen those who mourn in Zion,
by giving them a turban, instead of ashes,
oil symbolising joy, instead of mourning,
a garment symbolising praise, instead of discouragement.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
trees planted by the Lord to reveal his splendour.

The main theme of this passage is the word "instead".  Instead of living in the suffering, weakness, lack of joy, Jesus wants us to live in the supernatural replacement He paid for us to have at Calvary.  He came to destroy the works of the devil in all our lives and intends for us to live in His abundant LIFE.

So, practically, how do we live in this supernatural realm?  How do we tap into this as children of God?  Firstly, I believe that we have to be convinced that God's mercy and compassion are toward us.  He is our awesome, lovingly Heavenly Dad who only want the best for His kids.  Our identity, or how we see Father relating to us is imperative to our belief that all the promises and provision are ours now in this time and that He is pleased to give us the keys to Kingdom living.  Trials will come but Jesus is the overcomer,  and we can overcome with His power that dwells in us by the Holy Spirit.  God the Father wants us to experience Him in deeper ways and to therefore hold on to the promises and provision that He has provided to us through His Son.

Every problem we face has a promise, if we live in the "instead" and release to him the problem and by faith receive the supernatural provision.  Give Jesus our anxiety and receive His peace through prayer and declaration.  e.g. Jesus you have not given me a spirit of fear and anxiety. This is not apart of my new creation in you. I give you this anxiety, for you took it on the cross and by faith I release your peace to flow though my body and mind now, in your precious name.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the one who was proclaimed among you by us – by me and Silvanus and Timothy – was not “Yes” and “No,” but it has always been “Yes” in him.
For every one of God’s promises are “Yes” in him; therefore also through him the “Amen” is spoken, to the glory we give to God. 2 Cor 1:19-20

Remember all the promises are yes and amen through Jesus Christ.
