The Supernatural Christian

Can you walk on water? Can you turn stone into bread? Can you turn water into wine? Can Waterwine you cast out demons? Can you raise the dead? Can you speak in tongues? Can you make the blind see? Can you make a deaf person hear? Can you give a mute the power of speech?

The amazing talent of Christians is testimony to their faith. But also their talent for knowing what to do? Where to find the right answers for problems.

Christians possess talents. Prayer brings unspeakable powers. Can you make it rain? Does the sun follow you around? Do the stars come out when you speak to them?

A man in Tennessee commanded a swarm of bumblebees to sting a bankrobber. A woman in Virginia turned a used-car salesman into a pig. A child in North Carolina can fly. How is this possible? By what measure of faith, can Christians find it within themselves to walk across a blue lake at sunset?

Can you read the Bible in the dark? Can you read the Bible without opening it? Can you recite entire passages from Pslams which you have never read? If you answer yes to these questions, you are a supernatural Christian.

Does God speak to you? What does he say? Have you seen him? How often has God revealed himself to you?

Evangelical Christians, in particular, are discovering they have mysterious powers, beyond those of normal Christians. The Evangelical Christian can fly like an angel. They are lighter than air. On Sundays, they fly in flocks to church. Each carrying their Bible.

Supernatural Baptists have the power to pass the offering plate around their sanctuary without touching the plate. The plate floats around the sanctuary. The congregation places their tithes into the plate. Bibles rises and float upward to the ceiling.

In Lutheran churches, hymnbooks open by themselves. The congregation, full of the Holy Spirit, know the words to each hymn. They fell a warm glow come over them. It is the light from Heaven. In their coatpockets, they find a piece of blue sky. It's warm to the touch.

Shaped like a blue jade stone. Shiny, smooth on one side, rough on the other. It is rare, they know. And important to understand its worth. They know to protect it. They wrap it in a handkerchief. It hums.

They take it out when they get home. They place the blue sky on the coffee table or on the fireplace mantle. Or they hang it up on the wall like a photograph or portrait. It glows, whispers secrets about them, which tell them the things they need to know.

What is the time and place to fish or hunt. What the weather will be for Sunday. And what book of the Bible they should read next. And many other secrets which make them understand their place in the world.

A week later they bury it in the backyard. A few days later they noticed a sprig appears. The birds know what is happening. They warble. In a day or two, it starts. An apple tree grows tall from the blue stone. When they eat the fruit they feel stronger. They understand what is important. The church, the Lord, singing hymns, prayer and reading the Bible.

And they intuitively understand their superiority. Evangelical Christians know so much more than non-Christians. They know how to walk on water. How to turn stone into bread. Water into wine.

Supernatural Christians can do lots of things heathens cannot. Supernatural Christians can eat a bowl of grapes without touching the fruit. The grapes float upward from the bowl and circle the room. Then drift toward them and into their mouths.

Likewise cakes make themselves. Pies make themselves. Dinnner is prepared by each item on the menu suddenly invigorated, inspired to bake itself, fry itself and prepared by a heavenly invisible force, the dishes are served.

The Lord moves in mysterious ways.
