From the ORDINARY to the EXTRAORDINARY IN 2015

Did you know that 90% of doctor’s visits are stress related? Most heart attacks happen on Mondays because people are stressed out about going to work. There’s no person in life that doesn’t have to fight off doubts, discouragement and dilemmas that come their way. We’re in a battle till the Lord comes back for His Church. Christians, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places,” (Ephesians 6:12) The question is, “Will we fight back or just allow the enemy to run us over and intimidate us with fear?”


The Syrian Army came after the Prophet Elisha. When his servant came out on the front porch that morning drinking his Dunkin Donut coffee, he lost it when he saw the Syrian army that had surrounded him and Elisha. My version is, “Elisha, you better get out here, we’re in BIG Trouble” But Elisha was operating in faith and sees something supernatural and extraordinary. The threat of this army is nothing to his God, He prays; “Lord, open his eyes and let him see what I see.”

The next thing he sees blows him away. “Elisha, in the heavens, I see the chariots and horses of fire around this army. When God takes the scales off of our eyes we begin to see that God is greater than any force out of hell against us.
As you grow in God, you will begin to realize that what you believe doesn’t always line up with what you see. “We walk by faith and not by sight.” Elisha was able to do great things for God because he was operating in the supernatural while walking in the natural.

It didn’t make sense for Jesus to tell the disciples to have the crowd of five thousand people to sit down on the grass preparing to eat with only two fish and five loaves of bread. But Jesus was operating in the supernatural and believed in the extraordinary. That day He fed all five thousand plus and picked up 12 baskets of bread when it was all said and done.
It didn’t make sense for Jesus to spit on the dirt and place mud on the blind man’s eyes. But when the blind man obeyed the Lord and washed the off mud, he could see.

It didn’t make sense for Jesus at the wedding to tell men to fill empty vases with water, but when they obeyed, Jesus turned the water into wine. Walking in the Supernatural is going to be out of your comfort zone, but what have you got to lose but seeing the extraordinary this coming year. “Eye hath not seen nor has ear heard the things that God has prepared for them that love Him.” Are you ready to see the miraculous, remarkable, astonishing, astounding, stunning and  extraordinary in your life this year?  Then, See it, Believe it, and Go for it. “Greater works shall you do because I go to my Father. (John 14:12)
