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.

The Voice of the Sign
64-0321E §11
...s. And "exodus" means to be coming out, brought out. Now try to listen close as you can. I'd like to preach to you sometime---you're such a nice audience---but I just don't have the voice. Just a little strain on that, and I know what it would be. I've got to rest a little bit now, for about eight or ten days, before I start the next meeting. See, it just isn't this one meeting here. It's meeting day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, see. You can imagine. And think of all of the times,...
Super Sign
61-0430 §44
Oh, we're so glad to know that among us is a supernatural One, who's making Himself known to a people who believes in supernatural. God said He'd give us a super sign, and it would be an eternal sign. Then, Lord God, You proved Yourself to be the eternal God. You have done it. You will do it. And here we are in the last days, and it has not been like that since Jesus was here. That generation received a sign, the supernatural sign, and disbelieved it and went off into chaos. And here it is. After all the theologian...
The Queen of Sheba

And then she said, "Now, look, sir. I've never seen him move, I've never seen him do anything. My grandmother never saw him do anything and neither did her mother. And I've lived up to this time, and I hear that there is one that is alive. I'm going to see Him. No matter what you think, I'm going anyhow." I like that courage. Find out for yourself. She said, "Now, if it isn't right, I'll come back and tell you it isn't right. But I'll know in my heart whether it's right or not." I can imagine before she started tha...
Hearing, recognizing, acting on the Word of God

God's holiness ... God, being God, projects that Himself. If there was not a sinner, there would never ... He would have never been a Saviour. But He was a Saviour at the beginning. So, there was nothing lost, and his own attributes as being a Saviour projected a sinner. There had to be something to be saved. And before there could be anything saved, there had to be something lost. And His righteousness and His holiness... If there had never been a sick person, He'd have never been a healer. But from the beginning...
