There is a hunger in many hearts to walk in the supernatural.
To see the sick rise.
To see oppression break.
To see answers flow like rivers.
To walk with God in demonstration and authority.
The supernatural is not something you chase.
It is something that rises when the Word is taught, received, and believed.

The supernatural is not separate from the Word.
It is the Word expressed.
When the Word is alive in a person, power flows without struggle.

Wherever God moved in Scripture, teaching came first.
Power followed revelation.

The Lord shows the pattern
Before the Lord healed the sick or cast out devils, Scripture shows Him immersed in the Word.

“They found Him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.”
Luke 2 verse 46

He grew mighty in Scripture before He became mighty in miracles.

When He began His public ministry, He did not begin with wonders.
He began with the Word.

In the wilderness, when the enemy confronted Him, Jesus did not use emotional strength or angelic force.
He anchored everything in:

“It is written.”
Matthew 4 verses 4, 7, and 10

He conquered by the Word.
He established authority by the Word.
He aligned His consciousness with the Word.

And then Scripture says:

“Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee.”
Luke 4 verse 14

He returned in power after the Word had been confirmed and wielded.

The Word prepared the ground.
Power followed.

Pentecost followed teaching,
Before the tongues of fire.
Before the rushing mighty wind.
Before the explosive birth of the Church.

There were forty days of teaching.
“Speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.”
Acts 1 verse 3

Jesus was opening Scripture.
Realigning thought.
Reframing identity.

Pentecost did not fall upon emotional confusion.
It fell upon believers whose understanding had been illuminated.

Antioch reveals the growth of supernatural culture

In Antioch, they did one solid year of teaching.

“And they taught many people.”
Acts 11 verse 26

After teaching came prophetic flow:

“Agabus stood up and signified by the Spirit.”
Acts 11 verse 28

Then apostolic commissioning:
“The Holy Spirit said, Separate unto Me Barnabas and Saul.”
Acts 13 verse 2

Teaching shaped the consciousness.
The supernatural filled the consciousness that teaching shaped.

Ephesus shows how the Word produces power

Paul did not begin Ephesus with crusades or miracle services.

He began by opening Scripture.

Three months first.
Then two years in the School of Tyrannus.

Then the Word reached fullness:
“So mightily grew the Word of God and prevailed.”
Acts 19 verse 20

Only then:
“And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul.”
Acts 19 verse 11

The Word atmosphere created the miracles.this is how the supernatural breaks open

Teach the Word.
Let it settle.
Let it shape understanding.
Let it reform identity.

Then minister.

Do not teach and close the meeting immediately.
Teach and then flow.

Pray.
Lay hands.
Speak healing.
Declare restoration.
Prophesy as the Spirit stirs.

You will notice power begin to move effortlessly.

Not because you are trying to “call it down”.
But because the Word has already made room for power to rest.

The Word creates faith.
Faith attracts demonstration.

“While He was teaching, the power of the Lord was present to heal.”
Luke 5 verse 17

“Paul perceived that the man had faith to be healed and said, Stand upright.”
Acts 14 verses 9 and 10

Teaching stirred the faith.
Faith released the power.

one day, You will be teaching.
The atmosphere will shift.
Faith will rise in the room like a tide.
There will be a clarity in your spirit that is unmistakable.

You will look at someone in a wheelchair and simply say,
Rise.

And they will rise.

Teach. And minister.
Teach. And flow.
Teach. And demonstrate.

Stay with the Word until the Word fills you.
When the Word forms your consciousness, the supernatural becomes your natural environment.

The current School of Ministry wraps up this July with over 2500 participants from more than 50 nations. The testimony is unanimous—this has been the most in-depth, eye-opening, and transformative ministry training many have ever experienced.

Now, we are preparing for something deeper. The August Special. An advanced and intensive edition of the School of Ministry. This one is not for everyone.

It runs across four Saturdays in August—August 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th—from 7pm to 10pm UK time. Four weighty modules. Four thought-provoking concept papers. Real-time classwork. Strategic reviews. Peer learning. Faculty feedback. And deeper layers of ministry structure and spiritual accuracy..

This is not for spectators. It is for builders. For those who carry the burden of ministry with clarity, conviction, and consecration.

If July reintroduced you to the call, August will define your alignment and build your framework. Stay close. Details loading.

I shared this in the school of ministry yesterday...
Without Theophilus, the Church might not have had Luke or Acts. That’s 52 chapters—documented, preserved, and passed on—because one man knew what to do with truth when it reached him.

Luke wrote it.
Theophilus received it.
We inherited it.

Here’s the truth: Revelation comes with responsibility.
Theophilus didn’t write a word—but his role was loud. He kept the volumes. He didn’t just read them—he stewarded them. He didn’t just benefit—he preserved and circulated. His private scrolls became public Scripture.

Now here’s the part we must not miss:
Not everyone is called to write like Luke, but everyone must steward like Theophilus.
You may not be the originator, but if it blessed you—share it. Circulate it. Honour it.
It is spiritual malpractice to eat from Luke and act like you’re not being fed.

Don’t scroll past what’s feeding you.
Don’t stay silent on what’s changing you.
If truth reached you, it’s meant to move through you.

Theophilus teaches us that receiving truth is not passive—it’s prophetic.
When God puts weighty truth in your hands, your job is to guard it and give it wings.
If you didn’t originate it, fine. But if you benefited, you are now part of its legacy.

Theophilus didn’t say, “Well, I’m not the author.”
He said, “If I’m trusted with this, I must treat it as sacred.”
That’s maturity. That’s honour. That’s kingdom thinking.

In this digital age, we don’t lack truth—we lack strategic stewards.
God is still sending "Lukes" with volumes.
But He’s also looking for modern-day Theophiluses—people who don’t bury what they receive but preserve, honour, and multiply it.

So here’s the word:
If it blessed you, don’t hoard it. Honour it. Share it. Circulate it.
Whether you’re the scribe or the steward, you are accountable.

We salute Theophilus—most excellent, most honourable, most responsible.
Now go and do likewise. Keep the volumes. Circulate the fire. Steward the truth.
Loud and clear.

In the New Covenant, the divine order is this: you can only give what you have received, and you must never offer what contradicts the grace you've been given. To live contrary to what you've received from the Lord is not only conceptually wrong—it is a spiritual violation. You cannot give unforgiveness when you have been forgiven by the blood of Christ. You cannot dispense cruelty after being embraced by divine mercy. You cannot deal gracelessly with others when grace upon grace has been lavished on you.

Paul captured this principle with clarity: ‘For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you…’ (1 Corinthians 11:23). He understood that in the New Covenant economy, you are only authorised to transmit what heaven has entrusted to you. Nothing less. Nothing more. Nothing contrary.

Jesus, too, taught this with striking simplicity: ‘A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit’ (Matthew 7:18). This was more than a horticultural observation—it was a spiritual law. A transformed root must produce transformed fruit. If the seed is of the Spirit, the harvest must bear the character of the Spirit. Grace must give birth to grace. Mercy must reproduce mercy. Forgiveness must echo in your dealings with others.

To live in contradiction to what you’ve received is to misrepresent the source. It is spiritual hypocrisy. Worse still, it is dangerous. Paul gives a sobering warning in Hebrews 6:7–8: ‘For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.’ In essence, when heaven waters your life with grace, forgiveness, and mercy, yet you respond with thorns and thistles—judgement, bitterness, cruelty—you are violating covenantal alignment. You are producing what is foreign to your new nature.

The New Covenant is not just a new beginning; it is a new becoming. And in this becoming, what flows out of you must bear the marks of what has been poured into you. Anything less, anything contrary, is not only unacceptable—it is near to cursing. May we never frustrate the grace we have received by misrepresenting its fruit in our lives.”

In the early Church, a key theological dispute centered on circumcision, with some like Peter advocating for its practice while others, like Paul, argued against it, claiming it undermined the grace of God. This led to the emergence of distinct apostolic ministries focused on different audiences, such as the Gentiles and the Jews, each empowered by God's grace and yielding fruit in their respective contexts.

Apostleship, as seen in this historical context, is inherently contextual and subjective. Apostles interpret and apply Christ's teachings based on their unique backgrounds, worldviews, and understanding of scripture. While there were diverse perspectives within apostleships, certain ministries, particularly those directed towards the Gentiles, were elevated in importance by God's providence. Despite differences, there was mutual recognition and cooperation among apostolic leaders, such as Peter and Paul, highlighting the need for contextual adaptability within the broader framework of God's plan.

Contemporary issues, like the debate over ancestral curses, illustrate the varied perspectives within apostleships. Different apostles may present arguments for or against such beliefs, drawing from their theological interpretations and contextual insights. This diversity can lead to the formation of distinct apostolic factions, reflecting differing approaches to doctrinal interpretation.

True apostleship transcends doctrinal disputes to enact faith-based policies that address broader issues facing the Church. This was demonstrated in the early Church's response to controversies like circumcision, where apostolic leaders deliberated and reached consensus while addressing central points of contention.

In essence, apostleship encompasses both the diversity of individual perspectives and the unity found in the collective pursuit of God's truth. By navigating differences with humility and wisdom, apostles can effectively minister to the diverse needs of the Church while upholding the foundational principles of the gospel.

The gift of God is the knowledge of Him. Romans 6:23. John 17:3

[Mr.Encouragement @MrEncouragement]

1) The angels are spiritual beings and know God exists. We are physical beings and cannot know God exists. We see evidence of him and trust in him without certainty. Were we to know he existed, we would hardly refuse to love him knowing that doing so would mean our own demise, a spiritual gun held against our heads. Instead we can respond in genuine love or genuine disdain, our free choice.

2) The Genesis account begins with the universe formless, without light. Light is the first thing created. In Big Bang cosmology, the proto-universe is hot, dense, and compressed so much that there are no atomic particles. There is no form. Immediately after the Big Bang, the first atomic particles to form are photons — light!

For the finely tuned universe to be able to support life like ours (and from a scientific perspective it is indeed finely tuned) it must be huge. It is on the scale needed to support human life.

3) Conditions on a planet that support life as we know it are extremely rare. Galaxies must form that then form stars of hydrogen and helium which through fission in their cores create heavier elements. These must then then burn out and explode, leaving enough hydrogen to reform a secondary star and ejecting enough more complex elements to form planets that can support life. Yet even then, these planets must be the right size not to have too much or too little gravity or be too far or too distant from their sun to boil or freeze all the water that must find its way there.

The earth is an extremely unique place, even with billions of galaxies of billions of stars.

—-

An all-powerful, all-knowing God is aware that you are here and has the ability to prevent your existence if he so desires. The only logical conclusion from this is that you are known and wanted, your existence an act of the will of God.

I am sometimes asked if becoming an astrophysicist and knowing the science behind celestial objects like this them makes them seem less awe-inspiring.

The answer is no.

I am always awe-inspired by images like this. In fact, at this stage in my career and in my life, they are even more awe-inspiring.

That's partly because the deeper I go into the workings of nature, the more fascinating it gets. The physics of galaxy and star formation is beyond cool, y'all, but we don't even understand the half of it and we keep getting surprised by new discoveries. So, mystery still keeps things pretty spicy in science.

But it's also because I now believe that a Person ultimately created all of nature, including this wondrous structure inside a distant galaxy, and – even more astonishing – that He loves us, deeply and unconditionally.

Think about it. The Person who made this colossal ring of stars in a galaxy 45 million light-years from here loves us. He knows everything about us, and cares about every detail of our lives. There is nothing too trivial for Him. I find that so amazing that there are hardly words to describe it.

That realization cranked my awe-inspiration from pretty high to off-the-charts. I hope you feel something similar when you look at all that He made.

If you're curious, this image shows the inner ring of stars in galaxy NGC 1097. The full galaxy is shown below. Numerous supernovae have been observed in this galaxy, and it also has a few satellite galaxies. It's also classified as a Seyfert galaxy, which means it has an active supermassive black hole in its center.

1 Peter 5:10
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Confession
The God of all grace has called me unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus. After I have suffered a while, God makes me perfect, establishes, strengthens and settles me.

Many Christians behave like Baalam today, they go about asking God for things that are not in line with His Word. Prayer won't work when it doesn't line up with the scriptures.

Never move from a heart of gratitude to one of entitlement. Once a sense of entitlement comes in, the waters get stirred and things will stop working as they used to. A man can receive nothing except it be given to him by heaven. Nobody else's success is yours, do your own work.
