Supernatural: Introduction

What we don’t know about the super­nat­ural can hurt us. What we don’t know about the super­nat­ural can also lead us to miss out on some great things that God wants us to expe­ri­ence.

The Bible is very clear that there is the super­nat­ural. We are not sup­pose to even dab­ble in it. But we are to eagerly seek after the super­nat­ural that God pro­vides us.

There is a fas­ci­na­tion and belief in the super­nat­ural through­out his­tory. At the same time we see things that once were con­sid­ered to be super­nat­ural that we now know is just natural.

We have to be care­ful, very care­ful when we look at the supernatural.

Three mis­takes

1. Those who chase after the dark super­nat­ual. Deut 18:10–13 [show]Deuteronomy 18:10–13 [10]There shall not be found among you any­one who burns his son or his daugh­ter as an offer­ing, any­one who prac­tices div­ina­tion or tells for­tunes or inter­prets omens, or a sor­cerer [11]or a charmer or a medium or a necro­mancer or one who inquires of the dead, [12]for who­ever does these things is an abom­i­na­tion to the LORD. And because of these abom­i­na­tions the LORD your God is dri­ving them out before you. [13]You shall be blame­less before the LORD your God, (ESV)
   . The devil uses it to tear us down.
2. Those who seek the power of God for their own desires and not for the right motives. James 4:2–3 [show]James 4:2–3 [2]You desire and do not have, so you mur­der. You covet and can­not obtain, so you fight and quar­rel. You do not have, because you do not ask. [3]You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your pas­sions. (ESV)
   
3. There are those who just don’t believe in the super­nat­ural at all.
