SUPERNATURAL POWER 4-3-2020
Supernatural power is the power that goes beyond the natural forces. It goes beyond natural laws and scientific understanding. The world is seeking power. Power to rule and control mans actions and thoughts. But there is a power that lives in every believer who has the Holy Spirit. Supernatural force that raises the dead, cast out demons. and heals the sick. It is the church and we must stop being unimpressed with the power of the Holy Spirit that lives inside us and is upon us. Supernatural power proves to us that we have a new life.
