I was asked to share my "experience"/"understanding" of supernatural gifts at a local church yesterday. It was a courageous step the pastor took in desiring to see the super come upon the natural. I was nervous for what questions he would ask and he was nervous how I would answer.
It was a powerful time and a great reminder concerning the role of Christians today.
If scripture is true about we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who RULE this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.
If 1 John 5:19 is correct that the world is under the control of the evil one and "Satan is the god of this world", then poverty, corrupt governments, crime, drugs, depression, sickness, etc. can't be fought with natural tactics.
We are spiritual beings given supernatural gifts to push back the prince of darkness and bring the Kingdom of Light. Christ has given all authority to his body and we know the end of the story (thanks to the book of Revelation). We are therefore called to make what is completed in the supernatural realm a reality in the natural.
So poverty, corrupt governments, crime, drugs, depression, sickness can be won with supernatural authority.
