What If I Have Never Experienced Anything Supernatural?
1) Direct answer
Don’t be discouraged. The greatest supernatural is when God changes a sinner’s heart and makes a new creation. You don’t have to chase signs. Believe the Word, obey it, and ask for the Holy Ghost. God will make Himself real to you in His own way and time.
2) Scriptural explanation
- New birth is supernatural: “You must be born again… born of the Spirit” (John 3:3-8). The wind is real though you don’t always see it—yet you feel its effect.
- The promise is personal: “Repent, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ… and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you” (Acts 2:38-39).
- Don’t live by sensations: “An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign” (Matthew 12:39). “We walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).
- God confirms His Word: “These signs shall follow them that believe” (Mark 16:17-18), and “God also bearing them witness… with signs and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will” (Hebrews 2:4). Not all gifts are the same (1 Corinthians 12:29-30).
- The inward witness: “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God” (Romans 8:16). “He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself” (1 John 5:10).
- The real evidence is a changed life: “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature” (2 Corinthians 5:17). “Hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments” (1 John 2:3). “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren” (1 John 3:14).
- Jesus promised personal reality: “He that loves Me… I will manifest Myself to him… We will come unto him and make Our abode with him” (John 14:21,23).
- Ask and receive: “How much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?” (Luke 11:13). “Him that comes to Me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37).
3) Simple clarifying logic
- You see, faith does not start with fireworks; it starts with the Word. Believe first, then the Spirit bears witness. Thomas needed to see; Jesus said, “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed” (John 20:29).
- The new birth is the greatest miracle. A clean heart, a hunger for the Word, power to forsake sin, love for God and His people—those are supernatural marks you can’t work up.
- God may give visions, healings, or other gifts, but He gives “according to His own will” (Hebrews 2:4). Don’t measure God by your feelings; measure every feeling by the Word.
- If there is no witness, no victory, no hunger for Christ, don’t settle for church-going. Come to Him sincerely, obey His command, and ask for the Holy Ghost. He promised to make it real.
Practical steps to take now
- Repent honestly: confess and forsake sin (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:9).
- Be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38; 10:48; 19:5).
- Ask persistently for the Holy Ghost (Luke 11:13); wait before God until He fills you (Acts 1:4-5).
- Stay in the Word daily; faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17; John 6:63).
- Walk in obedience; He manifests Himself to those who keep His sayings (John 14:21).
- Test every impression by Scripture (1 John 4:1; Galatians 1:8).
Short reinforcement
Now notice, you don’t need to manufacture the supernatural. Believe the Word, obey the Light you have, and the God who promised will make the life of Jesus Christ live in you. That’s the mystery—Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Handwriting on the wall

...s. He sent and got the district presbyters and all the doctors of divinity. And he brought them all in to read this handwriting. What happened when they got there? They had never seen anything about speaking in tongues, unknown tongues. They had never been taught anything about it. They knew nothing of it. So how could they have the gift of interpretation? That was at the junction of the first Gentiles. And there was an unknown tongue on the wall. Nobody never heard nothing about it, but it was wrote on the wall in...
Melchisedec, the Great Prince and King

If we'll approach this subject today, real sensibly, calmly, never be excited... Faith never gets excited. Faith never rushes itself. Faith knows what it's talking about. You never seen our Master excited about anything; standing by the grave of a dead man, He was just as calm as He was when He sat on the mount and looked over Jerusalem. Standing on a troubled ... on a ship in a troubled sea, and the waves, tossed about, He was so completely rested in God, until He never even paid any attention to it enough to wake...
Have faith in God

And now, lady, not knowing you, and I've never seen you in my life, as far as I know; this is just we meet here. But if the Lord Jesus, by some way, will let me know what you're asking of Him, would you believe it to be the same, as the woman of Samaria said, "We know that that's the Messiah by the sign."? Would you believe that? You will? Will the audience believe it? That you might know the sincerity of both the woman and I, here's the Bible. And I have never seen the woman in my life, is that right? We don't kno...
God commissioning Moses

Now, if Jesus is the same tonight as He was then, and I declare that He promised, "These things that I do, shall you, also." "I will be with you, even in you, plumb to the end of the world." Now, that's either the truth or it's an error. And it's the truth. God knows it's the truth. Now, these are gifts and things that are set in the church. You being a Christian woman, then you've come to me for help. The only thing that I could do would be pray for you, or do something to arouse your faith. Isn't that right? Now,...
The Law having a shadow
54-1203 §28
It's time to clean out and get a hold of something, or somebody who has been in contact with the Lord Jesus Christ, and been born again. You will never be able to get them believing the supernatural, 'cause there's nothing in them to believe with. Amen. Now that's not skim milk. Look. That's right. A man must be borned-again by the Spirit of God, and then the Spirit of the Creator Himself comes into the individual, and claims relationship as sonship. You see it? Then that person is an offspring of God, and God who...
