The Supernatural Life

“According as His divine power hath given unto us all things
that pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of Him
that hath called us to glory and virtue:”
2nd Peter 1:3

POWER FROM ABOVE!
.
So here’s a bold statement! “The life of a Christian, is a supernatural life!”
.
Well, if one is a stickler for Bible-only terminology, you could rephrase this above statement, by saying… “The Christian life is a life of POWER from above!”
Perhaps that’s a better way of saying it!
.
But either way you say it, it is nonetheless true!
The Christian’s life is a life which is energized by the miraculous working of God’s Spirit through that true-follower of Jesus!

3 METAPHORS OF A CHRISTIAN’S SOJOURN
.
Now, in describing this a life of Heavenly power, one could use various Bible phrases, such as: “Now we see through a glass (mirror) darkly”.
Or this phrase, “These are they which follow the Lamb, wherever He Goes”.
Or even this last phrase, “Ye shall hear a Word behind thee, saying ‘This is the way, walk ye in it!'”.
.
Now these three verses each present a miraculous concept!
And while we do not literally see a mirror.
Nor do we literally see a Lamb.
Nor do we literally hear a voice in our head.
Yet, all three of these allegories are depicting the power which guides us through our daily earthly sojourn.

ALLEGORIES NOT LITERAL, BUT SPIRITUAL
.
Now, as far as seeing “through a glass darkly (a mirror)”, the Spirit of God reveals to us the character of Christ, as contrasted by our own faulty character.
. 
And also, as we more and more progress up the heavenly pathway, the more and more we see a brighter image of Christ, the Lamb of God, in our mind’s-eye.
But we have an ever-increasing cognizance of how He would perform each task that lies before us in each of our lives, as we go about our day.
. 
And likewise, the true-worshipper of God will not hear an actual voice, saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it!”
No, but this is speaking of the Holy Spirit, which ever-so-gently and imperceptibly nudges our conscience, prompting us to make correct choices,
And so, these are the miraculous aspects of the life of a Christian!

“WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN AM I STRONG”
.
Oh yes, the Christian may encounter many times of weakness and infirmities, even the Hand of chastening from the Lord.
.
At these moments of weakness or sorrow, all one can do is to lie helplessly, throwing all confidence and trust in Christ’s sufficiency!
Paul spoke of this experience in the following passage…
.
“And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:
for My strength is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities,
that the power of Christ may rest upon me…”
2nd Corinthians 12:9, 10 (Condensed for brevity)

“YOU ARE MY HIDING PLACE”
.
Yes, it’s a wonderful thing, during such times of trouble and weakness, that the Believer can revert to his or her childlike nature, and merely cast all cares upon our Heavenly Father!
.
During these hours, one can simply pray, or sing, or just revel in our Heavenly Father’s tender pity and mercy, asking for God’s renewal of wisdom and strength.

AN EVER-BRIGHTENING PATHWAY
.
But somebody might say, “Well who doesn’t know all these things!?! You’re not saying anything I don’t already know!” Okay, well that may be true!
.
But the fact is, the farther one progresses up that pathway to Heaven, the greater will be the ever-growing brilliance of these things!
.
And as the light grows ever-brighter on that “Highway of Holiness”, the more incredible and joyful will be the experience of allowing Jesus to live out His life of power through that faithful, trusting lamb of God!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH…
.
“Let the people praise thee, O God;
let all the people praise thee.
Then shall the earth yield her increase;
and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.”
Psalm 67:5-7
.
But Signs Of Heaven are now appearing.
And God has written a great message of hope in the heavens.
This is a colossal heavenly picture of Christ and His Church.
And the Church is seen here doing its best imitation of Christ, as the Church uplifts the Cross.
.
“He that says he abides in Him (Jesus) ought…to walk, even as He walked.” 1 John 2:6
.
This verse from 1 John says it all.
Those who claim to be Christians must not only “talk the talk” …but also to “walk the walk”.
This is the essence of what this particular verse above is all about.
