Principles for Walking in The Supernatural 9 & 10
Principle Number Nine:
DON'T GIVE UP!
16. Therefore it is of faith, that it might
be by grace; to the end the promise
might be sure to all the seed; not to
that only which is of the law, but to
that also which is of the faith of Abraham;
who is the father of us all, 17. (As it is
written, I have made thee a father of
many nations,) before him whom he
believed, even God, who quickeneth
the dead, and calleth those things
which be not as though they were.
18. Who against hope believed in hope,
that he might become the father of
many nations; according to that which
was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19. And being not weak in faith, he
considered not his own body now
dead, when he was about an hundred
years old, neither yet the deadness of
Sara's womb:
20. He staggered not at the promise
of God through unbelief; but was
strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21. And being fully persuaded that,
what he had promised, he was able
also to perform.
Romans 4:16-21.
Maybe you have not been walking
in the reality of your authority and
abilities in Christ, do not be
discouraged.
Keep pressing!
In late 1993, Heidi Baker became
discouraged and wearied after
spending some years in Mozambique
as a missionary with her husband
without witnessing the results they
had anticipated.
She knew she needed rest and
encouragement,she therefore left
Mozambique and travelled to Toronto,
Canada to attend revival meetings
that were being held at a Local
Assembly pastored by John Arnott.
(Randy Clark was the man who
God used to ignite the fire.)
While in Toronto, Randy Clark laid
hands on Heidi Baker and prophesied
over her how God would use her in
leading many to Christ, and how
God would use her mightily in healings,
miracles signs and wonders.
During one of the impartation sessions,
when hands were laid on her, she
fell under the power and became
immobilized for days.
It was so serious that some ladies
were carrying her to bathroom,
rest room and her bed.
The weight of God's glory was so
much on her!
Then when the glory lifted and she
regained her mobility,mshe returned
to Mozambique with renewed passion
and fresh zeal hoping to begin to
see the manifestations of those
impartations and prophetic words
she had received.
But that was not the case, for the next
one year she ministered to the sick
consistently without seeing them healed,
BUT SHE REFUSED TO GIVE UP!
Then, one day she ministered to a blind
person who was healed instantly.
From then on,she began to witness
miracles upon miracles.
She has led many to Christ, seeing
multitudes healed and delivered, raised
several people from the dead.
And she and her husband Rolland
Baker have planted thousands of
churches and trained several
Missionaries and equipped many for
the work of ministry.
Glory Hallelujah!
NOT GIVING UP IS ALSO ONE OF
THE PRINCIPLES FOR WALKING IN
THOSE THINGS WE HAVE RECEIVED.
LOVE AND COMPASSION.
Jesus Christ healed the sick BECAUSE
HE LOVED THEM AND HAD COMPASSION
ON THEM.
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great
multitude, AND WAS MOVED WITH
COMPASSION TOWARD THEM, AND
HE HEALED THEIR SICK.
Matthew 14:14.
29. And Jesus departed from thence,
and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee;
and went up into a mountain, and sat
down there.
30. And great multitudes came unto
him, having with them those that were
lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many
others, and cast them down at Jesus'
feet; and he healed them:
31. Insomuch that the multitude
wondered, when they saw the dumb
to speak, the maimed to be whole,
the lame to walk, and the blind to see:
and they glorified the God of Israel.
Matthew 15:29-31.
Jesus Christ also supernaturally
multiplied food to feed the multitude
BECAUSE HE LOVED THEM AND HAD
COMPASSION ON THEM.
32. Then Jesus called his disciples
unto him, and said, I HAVE COMPASSION
ON THE MULTITUDE, BECAUSE THEY
CONTINUE WITH ME NOW THREE DAYS,
AND HAVE NOTHING TO EAT: AND I
WILL NOT SEND THEM AWAY FASTING,
LEST THEY FAINT IN THE WAY.
33. And his disciples say unto him,
Whence should we have so much
bread in the wilderness, as to fill so
great a multitude?
34. And Jesus saith unto them, How
many loaves have ye? And they said,
Seven, and a few little fishes.
35. And he commanded the multitude
to sit down on the ground.
36. And he took the seven loaves
and the fishes, and gave thanks, and
brake them, and gave to his disciples,
and the disciples to the multitude.
37. And they did all eat, and were filled:
and they took up of the broken meat
that was left seven baskets full.
38. And they that did eat were four
thousand men, beside women and
children.
Matthew 15:32-37.
When we allow God's love and
compassion to flow from us to people,
the supernatural will become our
normal experiences.
It is very easy for a person who
sincerely love and care about people
to move in the gifts of the Spirit so
that God can reach out through him
to bless lives.
I have a friend who loved and desired
to be used by God in the area of
healings, BUT HE USED TO BE EASILY
IRRITATED BY FOUL SMELL,OPEN
SORES,SKIN DISEASES etc
I told him that as long as the sight of
those things irritates him,God could
hardly use him to heal people suffering
from those conditions.
Because as long as those things irritate
him, he would not be willing to lay hands
on people with that conditions for healing.
I have loved on,hugged and laid hands
on people with cancer,leg ulcer,
open sores etc that produced foul stench.
I allowed God to love and to minister to
them through me,and I have seen
some of them healed as a result.
Glory Hallelujah!
LOVE AND COMPASSION IS ONE OF
THE PRINCIPLES FOR WALKING IN
THOSE THINGS WE HAVE RECEIVED.
My prayer is that we shall remain
God's channels of love and compassion.
And that people shall continue to
see Christ in us and through us.
Amen.
