A Supernatural Season

Consider just how supernatural the first Christmas was:
o Joseph decided to marry Mary because of a dream.
o Mary talked with an angel who predicted two extraordinary births.
o Shepherds told people they saw a host of angels in the sky.
o Wise men were led by a star and later by a dream.
o Joseph moved to Egypt on account of another dream.
o Anna and Simeon heard promises from God and then prophesied.

And all of this so that a Savior could be born, and many souls could be brought into His kingdom.

Then came the early church - operating in the same Spirit:
o Peter dreamed a dream and talked with an angel.
o The disciples cast out devils, healed the sick and raised the dead.
o First century Christians were healed of snake bites, saved from accidents, released from prison, raised from the dead, and even translated.
o These believers were led to cities and away from cities - by the Spirit.

And all of this so that many souls could be added to the kingdom.

The Bible predicts that in the “last days” that same Spirit will move on and through believers. It predicts that:
o God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh - He will do a quick work.
o Believers will be used to heal people and cast out devils.
o There will be visions and dreams and a demonstration of supernatural “gifts.”
o All of this is going to happen where God’s people believe he is the same yesterday today and forever.
o All of this will happen where people pray and obey.

And all of this so that many souls can be added to the kingdom.

Dare to believe God for the supernatural this Christmas!
