This week’s Truth Keepers for Truth Seekers column is about encounter with supernatural that can’t be explained or Google can tell.

In an era where we have AI, Alexa and their “colleagues” at our fingertips, the supernatural seems to become more and more natural. Or have we been so dumbed down by social media, tablets, smartphones, Google map, Alexa and more, that we let all of them think for us? If we want an answer to anything, we “google” it, “youtube it” or ask “Alexa”. If we want a direction, instead of trusting our sense of direction, we follow a dubious Google map, which might have led us into the wrong direction at times but hopefully helped us get where we wanted to.
By the way, a seven-year-old recently beat Alexa; it couldn’t handle him.
What is “Supernatural”? Most likely, many have encountered something supernatural that they could not explain or Google or explain away. They might have brushed it off as: “Maybe that was my mind just tricking me” or maybe that was just a “light” or “shadow”, but deep inside wondered if it was something more.
When it comes to dreams, many have closed themselves off to it. Once in a while, they might get a nightmare but brush that off too. Others can get so into dreams, they over spiritualise it, or always see the gloomy side of the dream, not realising that not every dream is a “God dream”.
Dreams often are a way of the unseen or spiritual realm trying to get a message across. Either a warning, comforting message, direction or encouragement. You can say you do not believe in Satan or demons. Take it or leave it, but nightmares are glimpses of what Satan will try to do to human beings and a glimpse into his evil realm.
As a spirit he cannot do anything to us. But when we start agreeing to it, voicing it, we also give voice to what he wants to do and can bring that dream into reality through our voice and agreement with him. The quickest way to not let that nightmare come to pass is to cancel the happenings in it right away after you wake up. I would advise you to mention “In the name of Jesus” with it as He is above Satan.
How can we accelerate the supernatural? Can we? Yes!
If you want the evil side of the supernatural to be accelerated, just do all the negative stuff and opposite of what Jesus did and preached and did and lived. If you are a seeker of truth, you will want to be part of the good side of the supernatural and you would like it to be accelerated in your life. One column will not be enough, so next week I will expound more on it.
In the general sense, supernatural means: manifestations or events considered to be of supernatural origin, such as ghosts.
In the Bible, the "supernatural" refers to events, entities, or realms that transcend the natural world and its known laws of nature. It encompasses phenomena attributed to God, angels, demons, and other spiritual beings, as well as divine interventions, miracles, and revelations that defy natural explanation. Essentially, it's anything that exists or occurs beyond the scope of the physical and observable universe.
The supernatural is distinct from the natural, which is the realm accessible through our physical senses and governed by natural laws.
The Bible frequently depicts the supernatural as manifestations of God's power and presence, such as miracles, divine guidance, and communication with humans. The Bible also portrays supernatural entities like angels (both good and fallen), demons, and other spiritual beings that operate outside the realm of the natural.
Events like the parting of the Red Sea, the resurrection of Jesus, and healings performed by Jesus are examples of supernatural occurrences that demonstrate God's power and intervention in human affairs.
The Bible also describes the supernatural in terms of revelation, where God communicates with humans through dreams, visions, or direct communication, as well as in the context of spiritual warfare between good and evil forces.
The supernatural in the Bible doesn't always involve dramatic displays. It can also be subtle, such as the quiet presence of God's Spirit or the manifestation of spiritual gifts in a community. Examples include God speaking from the burning bush, Daniel interpreting dreams, the plagues in Egypt, and the ascension of Jesus.
Now, believers in the Bible and following its guidelines can experience the same.
In order to partake in the good side of the supernatural (good dreams come to pass, angels helping us, the spiritual realm helping us), there has to an exchange between the consequences of the evil mankind has become capable of (for a glimpse of that: watch Sound of Freedom inspired by the works of Tim Ballard).
If accepted by an individual, that person can now benefit the help of the supernatural.
‘The evil due to us came upon Jesus that the good due to Jesus might be made available to us’. It’s when you make it personal, whether you feel any change or not, you have opened the way to the treasure house when you’ve grasped and accepted that one central fact.
Let’s look at some aspects of the exchange. Consider the work of Calvary, a perfect work, perfect in every respect, perfect in every aspect.’ So there are respects and there are aspects.
We are going to look at 10 different aspects of the work of Calvary. Ten different things Jesus exchanged through his death although there is much more then these 10.
1. Jesus was punished that we might be forgiven.
2. Jesus was wounded that we might be healed.
3. Jesus was made sin with our sinfulness, that we might be made righteous with His righteousness.
4. Jesus tasted death for us that we might share His life.
5. Jesus was made a curse that we might receive the blessing.
6. Jesus endured our poverty that we might share His abundance.
7. Jesus bore our shame that we might share His glory.
8. Jesus endured my rejection that I might have His acceptance with the Father.
9. He was cut off that we might be joined to the Lord.
10. Our Old Man was put to death in Him that the New Man might come to life in us.
Do we HAVE to accept this to get into the Supernatural? There are other ways to get into the spiritual realm but the only way to have the advantage of that good spiritual realm helping us, is through the work of Calvary, the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and us embracing that. Once we do, we should then search out to live the life we are meant to live (Psalm 139:16)
Next week, more of how to accelerate into that. Until then, ponder whose realm you want on your side and helping you. There is no “in between” realm.
Choose.
It really is up to you!
