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.

And now, as we begin to read the Word, and to teach the Word... I'll never go outside of the Word for anything. And remember that you must believe this in God: that God keeps his Word. He'll do that. If He doesn't, He isn't God. God is infinite. And when anything is infinite, it's... Well, there's no way to explain what infinite is. But we are finite. Therefore, we can say anything, and the next day or hour from then, or five minutes, we'll have to alter it and say, "Oh, I was mistaken." But God can't do that if He...

Well, when the supernatural is done, man gets all excited. And usually there's a mixed multitude goes out. When Moses did the supernatural down in Egypt, a mixed multitude went with them: Korah. And it caused trouble in the wilderness. But finally the earth swallowed them up. The supernatural had been done, the unconverted heart went with it. That's what's happened today. The supernatural has been done. The Holy Spirit has returned back to the church in its fullness of its power. And then when the supernatural is b...

Stranger in our gate, you may have not never seen the supernatural discernment of diseases. I don't know what the Holy Spirit will do. I... Maybe He will catch someone in the line, or someone ask me what's wrong, or something like that in their life. They may be somebody sinful pass across the platform. He may call me right there and stop it. Usually, after they've been in the meeting and seen so many of the things called out, they usually repent before they get to the platform, and get ready; because many horrible...

Now, the woman can hold her hand, that we're strangers to each other. We've never met before, never seen each other. Now, Jesus knows her, He knows all about her. And all the food she ever ate and everything else, He gave it to her, and you too (Is that right?), and me. Now, it has to be something, if something is told ... the woman might be here. She might have domestic trouble. She may have something else, I don't know. But, whatever it is she's here for, would perhaps be the easiest thing to find, 'cause that's...

It don't only work that, but if you'd look at it in the scientific world. Say you're all a bunch of salesmen and you're going to sell Chevrolets, or Pontiacs, or some kind of a car. And one in his heart really thinks the Studebakers are better and so forth like that. Get us all together and saying the Buick is best, and the other one some other car. Get us together like that, you could never have the right kind of a meeting. Take it in the devil's work.
