We have established that we are redeemed as supernatural beings, but what must we do to manifest the supernatural? As it is written: The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit (John 3:8). Also, For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:19). So, in our manifestations lie the solution of the world. However, we cannot become solutions to our world without the Rod. Until we lay hold on the right Word to deal with the issues we are confronted with, we cannot be in command. Laying hold on the Word requires some tasks. As it is written: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). So, our approval has to do with our thirst and hunger for the right Word (Job 6:25; Acts 2:22). That approval puts us in command of signs and wonders.

Furthermore, revelation of the truth is not just about hearing what the Word says, but also understanding what it means as it applies to you (Acts 8:26-36; Proverbs 21:16). So, revelation is about hearing and seeing what God is saying (Isaiah 2:1; Romans 10:17). Spiritual blindness and deafness are the worst afflictions in a believer because what we hear, see and see well enough determines what we can handle (Isaiah 42:18-25; 1 John 1:1; Jeremiah 1:11-12). When we see well enough, doubts die; faith comes alive, and we gain command.

Who are we in Christ?

• By redemption, we have been translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. As it is written: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13). So, our citizenry has changed; we have moved from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. In the kingdom of darkness, you have all the woes of this life because the manifesto of the king there is to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10).In that kingdom, there is weeping and gnashing of teeth as their way of life because of failure, bondage, defeat, depression, etc., (Matthew 25:30). However, Jesus came as our bailout; He delivered us from that kingdom and brought us into His kingdom. We are now in the kingdom of righteousness, which attracts favour, peace and joy unspeakable (Romans 14:17). As it is written: How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him (Hebrews 2:3). So, salvation is our escape from the kingdom of terror and horror into the kingdom of life and life more abundantly.
• By redemption, we are redeemed as overcomers. We are not redeemed to be overcome by evil. The Bible says: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith (1 John 5:4). So, we are redeemed to overcome evil with good. We are not redeemed to be defeated; we are redeemed to live a triumphant life by faith. Faith does not grow on its own; faith is consciously built, and it must be current to deliver because the strength of faith is in revelation (Jude 1:20; Romans 10:17; 2 Corinthians 2:14). Our triumph is of faith, which is rooted in revelation. So, don’t wait to take command; you rise and take responsibility.
  
  

Of all the forces at our disposal, faith defines a believer’s level of command of the supernatural. As it is written: …If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23). There is no substitute for faith in any man’s quest to command the supernatural. Bible faith has the power to subdue scientific facts (John 11:39-44; 2:7-10; 9:7; 1 Timothy 6:20). We have come to an age where the faith of the saints will dominate in all areas. Also, faith can suspend natural laws; otherwise, fire should roast flesh, but those three Hebrew boys went in there, and they came out without a smell of fire on them (Daniel 3:17-28).

The hand of God is behind signs, wonders and miracles, but faith is the only way to provoke the hand of God on any issue (Isaiah 53:1; Psalm 118:23; Deuteronomy 26:8). Therefore, how much of the Word we receive and believe defines the limit of our command of the supernatural (Acts 24:14; Philippians 4:13). So, behind all signs, miracles and wonders is God but getting God involved requires faith.
