And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: Church Supernaturally

Contend for the Supernatural: From You to Y’all

You are Christ's body--that's who you are! You must never forget this. Only as you accept your part of that body does your "part" mean anything.  (1 Corinthians 12:27 MSG) The power of the Spirit was never meant to be confined to a platform in an auditorium.  Every believer has a part to play and … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: From You to Y’all

Contend for the Supernatural: We Are Connected

Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body.

To pray in faith, to be in agreement, I need to know what I’m praying for. If I don’t know what … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Contend for the Supernatural: It’s an “us” thing.

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light.    (1 Peter 2:9 NLT) The paradigm for church … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: It’s an “us” thing.

Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.  (1 Thessalonians 5:19-22 NKJV) One of the reasons that even Pentecostal people eventually back away from the things of the Spirit is in reaction to bizarre behaviors and doctrinal issues that come … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: Granola Cometh

Contend for the Supernatural: Don’t Get Sidetracked

He replied, "The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.
