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.

But what did Mary say? She never questioned it. She said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it unto me according to thy word." And what did she do? She never waited till she was positive. She never waited... You're a mixed audience, you'd listen to your doctor, and I'm your brother, but listen. She never waited till she felt life or anything else that she was positive. As long as God said so, that was enough for her to have it. She took God at His word, and begin testifying that she was going to have a baby befo...

Are we strangers, lady? I don't know you. You don't know me. No contact at all in the world. ["Never saw you before."] Never saw me before. All right. That's makes us perfectly total strangers. Well, now, if you are sick, then you've come here to me for help. And the help cometh from God. But, you believe me as your brother, don't you? Do you believe...?

...ms, "Write us a card, give us a card." That's merely to get your address for soliciting. But, dear Christian friends, I'm not saying that. I'm saying it because I love you.

A fellow said to me not long ago, he said, "Brother Branham, anything that's not scientifically proven is not real." I said, "I'll just contradict that, brother, and say anything that is scientifically proved isn't real." "Oh," he said, "that don't sound intelligent." I said, "I know it don't sound intelligent, but it's correctly intelligent. The real things of life cannot be scientifically proven." He said, "If it isn't scientifically proven, I can't accept it." I said, "Are you a married man?" He said, "Yes, sir....
