Lightning is a fascinating spectacle to watch. It releases powerful energy, heating the air around it to a temperature five times hotter than the surface of the sun. This heat causes the air to rapidly expand resulting in the shock wave we hear as thunder.

Powerful as lightning is, the spiritual energy that flows from God is supernatural. It is beyond scientific understanding and can transcend the laws of nature. God is a spirit and the spiritual energy that flows from him is all powerful and creative.

Personally, I think it is reasonable for us to expect and experience the supernatural in our Christian lives. Jesus told his disciples that they would receive POWER when the Holy Spirit came on them. The Greek word is ‘dunamis’ meaning the enabling force or power to do things. The Holy Spirit is not an empty religious term, it is God’s living presence in our lives…. the Spirit of Christ!

The Lord Jesus Christ moved in the supernatural dimension of the Holy Spirit in his earthly ministry, and he gives us the same Spirit for the same purpose. Charismatic and Pentecostal type churches acknowledge the gifts and empowering of the Holy Spirit. But in the past, there have also been powerful movements of God’s Spirit such as the Great Welsh Revival of 1904.

There are no limits on God’s Spirit and the supernatural.
