Supernatural

God has designed his children to experience the supernatural, but since God is just, I also believe that the knowledge of God is what allows experiences that confirm the presence of God in the spiritual walk.

God wants us to know him for who he is, not just because of his divine qualities. Theology has to be embodied in the personal God who deals with each one of us. But do we deal with God, do we listen to his voice, do we walk with him?

When Job understood God's purpose for his life; After passing that terrible test that God put him to prove his faithfulness, he was able to say with joy. "I have heard of you only by hearsay, but now my eyes see you" (Job 42.5). The meaning of this beautiful statement by Job is as follows: I had heard about you, your power, your love, your fidelity, your grace, but now, despite everything, I have truly come to know who he is. my God, I have experienced it in my misfortune, in my suffering, I have claimed his care, and although I have been angry with him, although I have protested about my condition and all the things that I have been through, now everything I have experienced has made me know you, see you with my own eyes, see the manifestation of your presence in my life in a real way.

Job praised God and said “I know that my Redeemer lives… and in the end he will rise above the dust” (Job 19:25). This statement can only be made when the supernatural manifestation of God has been experienced in the Christian life, when we know him personally as he is.

If anyone perceived the supernatural in his life, it was Moses. Moses was the man chosen by God to free his people from the slavery of Egypt. When he felt the call of God for that mission, he said to him: “Please, Lord, I have never been an eloquent man. Not yesterday nor in times past, not even after you have spoken to your servant; because I am slow of speech and clumsy of tongue. " (Exodus) 4.10 But the Lord told him, you are the leader, you and your brother Aaron will lead my people to the promised land and Moses said: "If your presence does not go with me ... do not take us out of here" ( Exodus 33.15) And here we see Moses demanding from God his supernatural mantle to do the work and carry out the mission.

We do not always experience the flow of God in our walk; sometimes it seems like God has turned away and that's when our faith is put to the test. As the hymn that we like so much says (Praise God) “… when he is silent, it is because he is working”. Yes it is true, perhaps it is so, but the truth is that God's silences do not always show that God is working. God wants us to live committed lives, that we strive to know him, that we seek his face, that we consume ourselves seeking his presence, because God also sees when we are not faithful, that we do not long for him, that we do not seek him, and then he walks away, he He remains silent to provoke in our being the need for his help, for his consolation; so that we feel that without it, we have no true joy, peace, and shelter.

And what about the church as a body of believers that seeks the manifestation of the Spirit in each of the faithful? What do we have to do so that his face and heart are attracted and revive our reluctance and infidelities? Could it be that there is some golden calf hidden in the courts of your church? Could it be that God is waiting for us to take a step of faith? Could it be that we do not know him well enough on a personal level and as the body of Christ; that we are not able to hear his voice, to correctly discern as a church our need for divine provision? Could it be that we are not working with wisdom from on high, understanding that he expects from his children - temples of the Holy Spirit where the God of Israel dwells, the anointed of God, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer and Savior of the world - commitments, total surrender, longing by your word, search in prayer?

I am convinced that God wants to bless the Church, but we need to get right with the Lord, personally and as a body. I do not believe that God is waiting for temples to be built - made of human hands - to glorify himself. God does not limit his grace to the dimension of the courts of his church. What God wants is submission, humiliation, search for his presence.

Jesus wants reunions with him, he longs for experiences with a Father who has manifested himself in his son Christ for our good, that our soul praises him, and our spirit embodies the truth that we are children of the Most High and that nothing and no one can separate us from his love.

God bless your Word!
