The Purpose of God’s Supernatural Power

Lesson Three

I. When you get Kingdom Revelation it produces Kingdom Life.

A. Purpose.

1. Matthew 6:33

2. Our first priorities are not to our families, its not our jobs, its not our church or what I want. Its to seek ye first, the Kingdom of God.

3. When the Kingdom of God is established in our realm of living, we begin to produce kingdom results.

4. John G. Lake, Africa, plague broke out and when he openly prayed for people in tongues, the plague would die, and the people would get better.

B. Authority. The revelation of the kingdom will also produce within our spirits a knowledge of how to use God’s authority and how to submit to it in relation to supernatural power.

1. Romans 11:29 (NKJV)

2. 1 Corinthians 14:20 (NKJV)

3. We need to mature in the authority that God has given us using it to produce Kingdom results with maximum affect.

C. Order. When we take dominion over the kingdom of darkness though the authority of the Kingdom of God, spirit order is secured.

1. When there is chaos, there is confusion and the power of God is not manifest.

2. Remove the chaos, submit to God, move in action believing and God’s power manifest.

D. Structure. God’s kingdom is flexible, so that His supernatural power can operate as the Holy Spirit directs individuals and churches.

1. God has divine order. This means that God plants the visionary, and through the visionary he or she begins to intercede about direction and how God releases that to the visionary and he or she shares with others to help erect or build vision.

E. Vision. On gong spiritual vision for what God desires to do.

1. Habakkuk 2:2 (NKJV)

2. Vision keeps us focused on the mission we are to fulfill on earth.

5. Mark 16:15-18

6. The power of God, the baptism of the Holy Spirit is not just so that we can set around and speak in tongues and sound spiritual. It is a direct link to God the Father in heaven that builds us up, provides a direct link to God to receive ad give back and reminds us of the things that Jesus Christ has done. His purpose is to empower us with the knowledge of the word of God and to demonstrate its power.

7. The supernatural power that God has given us, advances God’s Kingdom on the Earth.

III. 8 Objectives that God had in mind when He gave us this supernatural power.

A. The formation and edification of Godly Character. We need God’s miraculous power.

B. The development of an effective prayer life.

1. Matthew 26:41 (NKJV)

2. Romans 8:26 (NKJV)

3. These verses tell us that our flesh is week, we give into temptations and our flesh doesn’t know what to pray for.

C. The fulfillment of Ministry Functions and Service to God.

1. Jesus’s shed blood, we received the power to live a clean, pure life.

2. John 6:37-38

3. John 15:7-8

G. The ability to achieve great results in a short time.

1. Acts 14:21-23

2. Historians suggest that elders were appointed in every church in about 6 months.

H. The development of effective witnesses for Christ Jesus.

1. Luke 24:49

1) Ephesians 2:4-6

2) We are to remain comfortably seated on the throne, our seat of authority through Christ with a sense of ownership and belonging with purpose of exercising authority to reign.

3) Areas to reign: 1) the political arena with authority, 2) to govern in the judicial and legal arena and 3) to govern in the spiritual realm.

4) Colossians 3:1

5) When Jesus was upon the Earth, He taught from a throne of authority.

5) We are to wear permanent spiritual attire.

c. Receive power. Words used for various expressions of power: Dunamai, dunamis, dunamoo, dunastes, duateo, dunatos.

1) Dunamoo – Strengthen. Describes everything God can do. I the New Testament it is also used to indicate what we who believe in Him can do through the power He gives us. . Dunamoo means “to enable” to strengthen or to make strong. We are not gods.

i. Matthew 19:26

iii. Mark 9:23

iv. All things are “dunatos” for those who believe.

d. Jesus included these three conditions in His instructions to His disciples so that they would have the revelation of how they should go forth in His name and manifest God’s power o every person as they carried out their ministry on earth.
