COMMANDING THE SUPERNATURAL (1): The Dynamics of Faith with Apostle Joshua Selman

It is only in the presence of God that you can get the fullness of joy.
_Anything that the presence of God cannot solve cannot be solved.

The administration of the power of God is knowledge dependent.
Make up your mind to fight ignorance.

One of the ways to live a life that glorifies Jesus is to live a lifestyle that dumbfounds principalities and powers; Your life must become a living epistle.

One of the ways to live a life that glorifies Jesus is to live a lifestyle that dumbfounds principalities and powers; Your life must become a living epistle.

Nothing empowers like light!: The house of God is a supernatural place because God is there. The more you know God, the more you will understand yourself because you are born of God.

Your results are also evangelists; There are certain messages that only your results can preach.

Ephesians 3:9-10 (KJV)
Romans 8:18 (KJV)
It takes a level of meekness for the Word of God to richly dwell in you (Colossians 3:16).
You must always come to the presence of God with an open heart to receive from Him.

Psalm 74:20 (KJV)
Matthew 8:25-27 (KJV)

Our God is a supernatural God and the faith life is a supernatural life (Jeremiah 32:17).
As believers, we have been called into a supernatural experience. It is in the manifestation of this supernatural life that God is glorified and principalities and powers are dumbfounded.

Everytime it defies scientific explanation, then it is termed ‘Supernatural’.

The supernatural is an interplay between faith and the anointing; It is the co-ordinated union of faith and the operation of the anointing in you, or the Word of God and the Spirit of God.

Matthew 8:27 (KJV)
The supernatural is not for the five-fold offices or men of God alone.

Acts 20:32 (KJV)
1 John 5:4 (KJV)

WHAT IS FAITH?
1. Faith means Absolute confidence in God (Hebrews 11:6)
2. Faith is the name given to the action of obedience that you take based on your conviction of who God is and the integrity of His word (Romans 10:17, Genesis 21:1-2)

Psalm 115:16 (KJV)
For anything to happen on the earth, there has to be a union between heaven and earth.

When it has to do with your life and destiny, you have an active role to play.

Every victory the believer has in God’s kingdom is faith-dependent (Romans 10:17).

Most believers do not know that for anything to happen here on earth, there has to be a participatory role between man and God.

When it has to do with manifestations, it is not all up to God and it is not all up to man.

Grace, like wisdom, is multidimensional.
The freest of all the dimensions of Graces if “The Saving Grace” but this still needs your participation.

Grace is every good and perfect gift

Faith is Predicated on Two (2) main attributes of God
1. His integrity Numbers 23:19, Genesis 21:1-2, Hebrews 11:6
Integrity comes from the word Integer, meaning sameness and it is laced in His ability.

Numbers 23:29 (KJV)

If God speaks, every mechanism necessary for ensuring the Word comes to pass is made available.

God has integrity; He can be depended upon. Before you focus on what God is saying, focus on who is talking.
Trust every word He has spoken to you and also trust the One who has spoken it.

The King of the universe has integrity; He is the One who speaks and has the ability to defend what He has said.
The Lord can be trusted.

Faith is predicated on two main attributes of God;
2). His Ability (2 Chronicles 20:6-9, 2 Peter 1:2-4, Ephesians 3:20)

John 20:30-31 (KJV)

Bible faith is based on the awareness of God’s ability. He’s able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think.

KEYS TO PRODUCING BIBLE FAITH
1. Light/Knowledge: knowledge of the promises and principles of God
• You will never rise beyound the level of illumination you have
• Most believers are ignorant of the principles and promises of God.
• Your faith must be based on what God said.
• Do you know what He has said? Do you know all He has said?

2). Meditation (1 Timothy 4:15)
To meditate means to ponder or to understand; The goal of meditation is to give you understanding and comprehension.
Meditation is the labour dimension of faith; It means to stay till you see.

3. The Power of Prayer Mark 11:24
4. Word-based Confession (Psalms 107:2)

5. Actions of Obedience (Deuteronomy 28:1-2, Joshua 1:8, John 13:17
Every promise of God to you has a condition attached to it; Find out the conditions and obey them.

6). Thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6)
Thanksgiving is proof of faith and a mystery that multiplies. Jesus thanked God before He broke the bread and fed 5,000.
Resist the temptation that makes you complain about the things that the Lord has done!

Thanksgiving is not a licence to remain in mediocrity, but it is a catalyst for multiplication.

7. Patience (Hebrews 6:12)
Most people are not patient with God; There are times that God will connect His answers to the law of process.
