Summary:

Having a personal, interactive relationship with the Father and having a clean heart are both actually the first step. Matthew 7:7 tells us to knock and keep knocking, seek and keep seeking, ask and keep asking, and the door will be opened to you. That’s what you have to do to be efficient at anything. We, as believers, are hardwired for the super-natural. Just because your prayers for people and things don’t turn out like you think they ought to, don’t get discouraged. Keep doing it, keep trying and don’t stop doing it. How about going after something smaller than trying to raise someone from the dead right off the bat? In reality, signs, wonders and miracles are happening much more than we know, but we have to start looking with spiritual eyes to see them.

Show Notes:

• There are so many people who think that signs and wonders are just reserved for somebody else, someone who knows a lot more Bible, or someone more committed than them. What a misconception! We’re all created for signs, wonders and the supernatural, because we were created in the image of God.

• A lot of people go around wondering why, when they pray for someone with a terminal illness or something, most of them end up dying. Understandable! But you never know what might happen if you keep praying for these people. The Bible tells us to keep on knocking, asking and believing for it to happen.

• Sometimes it’s better to pray and not see immediate results. And, sometimes, you find out months after you did pray over someone, that a healing really did take place. Could God have been protecting you from pride at that time?

• One of the greatest signs and wonders is being able to communicate with the Father, and the ability to hear Him speak to us in so many different ways.

Quotes:

• There has to be signs, wonders and the supernatural acts and events for the world that we live in, to see the kingdom of God advanced to the degree that those kinds of things start to happen on the regular course of our day.

• I’ve seen too much supernatural stuff for someone to say that God’s not doing them today. I think God always wants to do it, but now more than ever. And I think we’re in a place, the church, the body of Christ now, where we’re going to see a lot more of that kind of stuff.

Takeaways:

As believers, we should never stop believing and praying for miracles to happen for people. If miracles and healing are two of the gifts of God’s spirit, we all should be contending and going after these things to start happening in our everyday life.

Summary:

To be able to walk in this supernatural realm of signs, wonders and miracles, the first and foremost thing is to have an ongoing, close, intimate relationship with the Father, on a consistent basis. Everything we do, especially signs and wonders, stems from this. Second, God has given all of us the same portion of faith, but we all have to start using it and building it up for it to become effective. Start praying for impossible-looking situations and see how these things can start happening in situations that you get involved with.

Show Notes:

• God is eternal and if we are saved, we are also eternal. We have been prepared for good words. Isn’t it possible that those good works have already occurred in the eternal realm, and the Father is waiting for an obedient kingdom person to walk into that situation, and by faith, make it happen?

• So many believers, especially in the Bible Belt, have a mindset that only the ministry people do these kinds of things, so we have to break that mindset because we are all truly called to these things. We’re all hardwired to walk in the supernatural.

• It happens a lot where we pray for someone to be healed and it doesn’t happen. So, are we just supposed to stop because of that? God is testing us in the natural to see if He can trust us with the supernatural. If we don’t ask, and keep asking, for a healing or miracle, it certainly won’t happen.

• If you want to move in signs and wonders, just do it. Don’t think small. Cross the threshold and exercise your own faith. Activate your faith.

Quotes:

• We’ve been trying to train people around here for a long time, to ask big and to pray impossible-looking prayers.

• We are hardwired for signs, wonders, miracles and good works as kingdom people. I believe these should be happening all the time, and should be following us in the path of our life.

• Signs and wonders should have been escalating all this time, not tapering off. It’s religion that really tends to get in the way of this. Our God is a God of miracles, and He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Takeaways:

With us, when these seemly impossible situations come up, there’s no way that we feel adequate to tackle them. But then, the Father never wanted us to feel adequate. He wants us to know that we can only do all things in Him. It’s in our inadequacies and weakness that His strength and power can flow through us to pray for, heal, and see miracles come in other people’s lives.

Summary:

There are several things that factor into walking in signs and wonders, which are some of the elements of Trinity’s Spiritual DNA. These are: The Kingdom of God, Relationship with the Father, Grace, Family & Relationships, and being equipping for the work of the ministry. God intended for all for us to move in signs and wonders, but we have to shake off our unbelief and reluctance in order start taking steps to seeing these things happen. The only thing that keeps us from moving in the supernatural is our own thinking.

Show Notes:

• One of the key factors in preventing signs and wonders from occurring is unbelief and hardness of heart. That’s why Jesus, after His resurrection, appeared to the 11 and rebuked them for not believing those who told them that He had risen.

• We are called to operate in the supernatural realm, not under our own power, but under the power of God, by the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

• Signs, wonders and miracles are not limited to someone who is healed of a deadly disease or raised from the dead. It could be something as simple as God working out an impossible looking situation in someone’s marriage, or with other relationships.

Quotes:

• In Mark 16:17 it says, “These signs will follow those who have believed”. The acid test is not whether you say you believe. The acid test is if you can look back last week, last month, last year, and see if there are signs and wonders in where you have been, because we are the people who carry those signs and wonders.

• As believers, we have been hardwired for signs and wonders. We’re made for the supernatural realm. Supernatural signs, wonders, and miracles are woven into the fabric of the creation story from the beginning, and were intended to be part of every Kingdom believer’s life forever.

Takeaways:

Signs and wonders are happening every day, but we have to be looking with spiritual eyes to see them occurring. When you start talking about signs and wonders, so many people start thinking about the big occurrences, like people jumping up out of wheelchairs and things like that. Most of the time, it’s the little things that God is doing, that seem to go unnoticed by most.
