the Lord tells you to do—whether it's to
pray, or lay hands on people, or cast out
demons, or heal the sick—do it without
shame or compromise.
Naturally Supernatural
Jesus said, "And these signs shall
follow them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues; they shall
take up serpents; and if they drink any
deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they
shall lay hands on the sick, and they
shall recover" (Mark 16:17-18). Some
Christians have been so "naturalized"
that living supernaturally like that is
hard to believe. But casting out demons,
speaking in tongues, laying hands on the
sick—this is all part of the empowered
Christian life.
We're Holy Ghost people. It should be
nothing for a believer to believe that God
could do the miraculous. Why do we so
often quench Him? Why do we grieve
Him? Why do we resist Him? Why are
we ashamed of Him? Why do we duct-
tape Him and hide Him in the back room
of our lives?
Really, it's just a trick of the devil. If he
can't get us to turn from the Lord, he at least
wants to make sure we're ine"ective. He'll
try to convince you that you need to live a
nice, quiet Christian life—go to church,
drop in your o"ering, sing a few songs and
go home. He'll tell you that you need to keep
from rocking the boat, and to put up with
whatever the world throws at you.
But that's not you. You're a
supernatural being!
Live What You Believe
You're not a mere man or woman. You
are God possessed. You're the temple of
the Holy Ghost. You're enabled. You're
empowered. You have the gifts of the
Spirit. You have the armor of God.
Believe it.
Every day I tell myself, "Mark
Barclay, you're not carnal. You're not
natural. You don't use natural weapons
anymore. The weapons of your warfare
are mighty through God. Go to war on
behalf of the Lord Jesus Christ!"
Don't duct-tape the Holy Ghost in
the back room of your life. Don't pray
in tongues at home and pretend like
you don't believe when you're in public.
Every moment of your life is infallible
proof of His love and work. Now is the
time to receive His full power and start
walking in all He has for you.
Now is the time to live what you
believe!
