It's Supernatural

That’s the dominion.  That’s what God planned from the beginning.  What we lost in Adam was gained in the Messiah, in Christ.  Man lost that dominion.  He turned over the keys, but Jesus said in Matthew 16, “Who do men say that I am?” and Peter says, “Thou art the Christ, the Messiah”.  Jesus says, “True and upon that revelation of who I am, I’m going to build the church, going to give you the keys to the kingdom and what you bind on earth is bound in heaven and what you loose on earth is loosed in heaven”.  This is what you have.  This is what’s been given to you by the offensive One.  Death reigned, much more they which receive of the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign.  Glory to God.  Now, this is true of all believers; all believers can reign, but see when you get baptized with the Holy Ghost, when you get filled and you’re energized and you’re activated with the gifts of the Spirit.  You’re talking unlimited power, for the Glory of God.  And again, as I said earlier, it’s time for us to turn the world right-side up.  The early church turned it upside down and I just know, God is coming back and He’s coming back for a victorious church.  He’s not coming back for a wimp.  He’s not coming for something defeated.  No, He’s coming back for a church that is triumphant, victorious.  We’ve overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.  Amen.  Understanding the gifts of the Spirit and incorporating them into our daily lives so the supernatural is our natural natural.  And I mentioned this to you earlier, but when, you know, because people all of time are saying, “How are you doing?” not that they really care, but you want to get a great reaction try this.  Say, when they say, “How are you doing?”… “Super-naturally”.  Amen?  Got to put that pause in there, “super-naturally”, amen?  It’s more natural for me to be supernatural than natural natural.  Amen.  Okay, gifts of the Spirit, laying a foundation.  A guy in my office some time ago, went home for Christmas and he brought back what I call “the shining lady in the market testimony” and I honestly believe this is how God is going to bring about the great revival that we’re on the leading edge of right now.  But this lady was in the market, she was shopping and had a tomato in her hand.  And a little girl came up to her as she’s holding the tomato and the little girl said, “How do you do that?”  The lady looks at the tomato and she says, “Well, I squeeze it to see if it’s fresh.”  And the little girl said, “No, how do you shine?”  She was talking about the lady’s countenance.  And this is something, God put this on my heart all the way back to 1979, when I began to study the supernatural and God said to do what Jesus did.

MICHAEL BROWN: It’s all a true story. I was 16 years old. I had taken enough hallucinogenic drugs for 30 people. And I thought I was losing my mind. It was one in the morning. I was in the neighborhood where I grew up. I was sitting by the side of the road then I said, “I’m burning in hell!” I thought this is just terrible! I felt like I was thought I was losing my mind, all these drugs in my system. Way too much for a human being to take. And I decided I’m going to end it all. I’m going to do like they do in the movies. I’m going to jump out in the road and I’m going to throw myself in front of a car. And I’m going to end it. So I saw a car coming around the corner. I jumped out in front of the car, threw my hands in the air. The car came to a screeching halt! It was my parents. Someone had seen me on the road. They got worried. They went and told my parents what was going on. My parents were looking for me. If not for them being the ones coming around that corner I wouldn’t be here telling you my story more than 46 years later.

You say, “But, weren’t you a good Jewish kid?” Yeah! My dad was the senior lawyer in the New York Supreme Court, Bar Mitzvah’d 13 years old. I was basically a good normal kid, playing sports with my friends, going to school, but, you know the big event for me when I was 13? It wasn’t my Bar Mitzvah, I gotta be honest. The big event for me, I saw Jimi Hendrix in concert! Yeah, I went to the rock concerts. I was playing drums in a rock band. I had long hair. I was a hippie kid and it was the whole culture of the 60s and break all the rules. And I wanted to be like these rock stars so I started smoking pot, one thing lead to another before you knew it, I was doing heavy drugs. Before you knew it I was doing so many drugs that became my nickname: drug bear, iron man. Because I could do more drugs than anybody. Well this night I took too many. But, you know, the next day I thought look at me. I did it. I survived. Look at how much drugs I can take and live to talk about it. But I had friends who were praying for me. They’d had a new spiritual experience. They had come to know God personally. This one called Jesus, Yayshu, Yeshua. He had radically changed their lives and they started praying for me and God started to work in my life. I didn’t want to change. I liked the lifestyle I was leading. I wanted to be a rockstar, I wanted to be a drummer. I wanted to get high. But God showed me I was sinning against Him. And God showed me that Jesus died to take my place. And when I cried out to Yeshua, when I asked God to forgive me, he set me free. December 17^th, 1971. I said I will never put a needle in my arm again and from that day on I’ve been free. Oh, not just that, my whole life is changed, filled with joy, filled with love. I know God personally. I live 24/7 without guilt, without shame. That’s what Jesus, Yeshua, did in my life. He wants to do the same for you. If you’ll ask God to change you. He’ll meet you. He’ll have mercy on you. He’ll give you a new heart.

Can you say that with me?  Accomplish His will on the earth.  Amen.  So important, not your will; His will be done.  Well, what I want to do is let’s look at what is the will of God because it’s, I think significant to recognize, I think it was brother Hagan that taught me this; but faith begins where the will of God is known.  So for you to get out of the tank, the limited atmosphere, the environment that you’ve lived in and go into the bigness of God’s sea with unlimited ability, no boundaries; you have to have again, the foundation.  What is God’s will?  So if you know God’s will then again, you can operate in faith and that’s what we want to do.  Again, laying the foundation here for the operation of the gifts of the Spirit.  So what I’ve done here and we’re going to look at this in a bit more detail, but I’ve listed here, five “I will’s” and I thought, “Oh no” because that was Satan’s downfall, his five “I will’s” in Isaiah 14 and then God came back with His five “I will’s”, but these are five, what I see, “I will’s”.  This is God’s will for you and I.  That when we know the will of God, again, faith can operate.  So, what is His will?  Well, number one, to do what Jesus did and greater.  To have a life and have it more abundant.  I’m going to look at that in a minute here.  We’ll go through each one of these individually, but that’s what Jesus said, “I come that you might have life and have it more abundant” and that His will be done on earth.  Remember that, the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”?  And then to have dominion on the earth, and then to reign in life.  Again, as I was putting this PowerPoint together, I don’t usually do this, but this morning as I was ministering I recognized I forgot one of the most important of all of the “I will’s”.  God’s will for your life.  Again, when you know His will, then you can begin to operate at a higher level because you know His will.  Well, I left out in my list here, one of the most important “I will’s” and that is from Timothy, and Paul writing to Timothy, and Paul said to Timothy, “God’s will is no man perish”.  He will’s for all men to get saved, amen?  I’m not sure how I missed that in my list here, but that is probably the number one will.  That’s why Jesus came as the Messiah.  John 3:16, “…whoever believes in Him would have everlasting life”, amen?  So, His will is that people don’t die.  His will is that people go to heaven and one of the ways that you’re going to rescue people out of the New Age and out of the occult and out of different cults and groups is by the demonstration of the gifts of the Spirit.
