Supernatural Christians?!

Written by: Andrew Friesen on 6/19/2009

Today the word “supernatural” is a very common word.  There are even some evangelical groups that focus on the “supernatural” having “Supernatural Conferences” and say that God is raising up a “Supernatural Army” to do the “Supernatural.”  But is there such a thing as a natural christian?  Are there now categories of christians?   Christians, supernatural christians, and super supernatural christians? 

To say that a born-again person needs to be supernatural, is like saying that the sun needs to be hot!  True Christians are supernatural or they are not christians.  The Bible says in Romans 8:9 “And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.”  

One day, while praying in spanish, I said, “Oh Lord bless them in a supernatural way!”   It was just like a phrase I had learned.  A habit.  When all of a sudden the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart saying,  “Is there any other way?”  Wow!  I started to laugh and thought to myself, “How beautiful is Jesus!”  He is always working in a supernatural way.   "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." (John 5:17)

The truth is that the supernatural is nothing new or just a nice word the preachers are now tagging on to their sermons to sound spiritual.  If you are a child of God you believe in the supernatural.  Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world supernaturally.  The First and the Last.  From the creation of the world to the cross of Calvary.  God and His people are supernatural.  Hallelujah!  Jesus is the one who blesses you, baptizes you with the Holy Spirit and fire, releases all the gifts of the Spirit in and through you, and saves you in a supernatural way!  Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.” (John 3:5)  That’s supernatural!  Your thoughts? -Andrew
