Supernatural placement in the kingdom of God is a function of the operation of a supernatural mentality.
In Daniel chapter five, we are told the story of King Belshazzar who saw a handwriting on the wall and called in the astrologers, Chaldeans and soothsayers to give the interpretation. But none of them all could read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation of it. Then the queen came in and said:
There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
Forasmuch
as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting
of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were
found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belshazzar: now let Daniel
be called, and he will show the interpretation.
Daniel 5:11-12
This woman knew the source of the operation of this supernatural mentality in Daniel, she knew that it was not natural.
When Daniel was called in, the king said to him:
I
have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that
light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
Daniel 5:14
Daniel, of course, gave the interpretation of the writing, and:
Then
commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a
chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him,
that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Daniel 5: 29
Oh, the reality of supernatural mentality!
IT EMPOWERS
We are told in 1 Corinthians 4:20 that the kingdom of God is not just in words, but in power and demonstration of the Spirit of God. It takes being empowered to be a bonafide citizen of the kingdom. Your citizenship is validated by empowerment.
What is empowerment? It is a noun from the word “empower”, which means to invest with power, especially legal power or official authority. The Bible says in John 1:12:
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
As many as received Jesus, to them He gave power to become, manifest and operate as sons of God. So empowerment is a requirement for you to earn your placement in the kingdom. Without power, you don’t have a place in the kingdom
SOURCE OF EMPOWERMENT
The Holy Spirit is the principal source of divine empowerment.
But
ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and
ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and
in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:8
It is very clear, therefore, that the Spirit of God is our covenant instrument for supernatural empowerment. He was at work in Joseph, Daniel and Peter, and they all operated above the natural sphere.
Supernatural empowerment is to enable you to fully represent Jesus — witnessing to the reality of His resurrection, representing His kingdom with colour, beauty, power and authority. That Scripture means, “You shall reflect and represent Me bodily. The Holy Ghost will empower you to operate in My class.”
Jesus said to His disciples in Luke 24:49:
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
So until you are empowered, your place is not guaranteed. This empowerment by the Holy Spirit impacts the three realms of a man — his spirit, soul (where his mind is located) and his body.
He energizes you for supernatural feats such as healings, deliverances, casting out devils and taking your place in the realm of the spirit. Jesus said in Isaiah 61:1-3:
The
spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to
preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to
them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance
of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for
ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit
of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting
of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
The Holy Spirit makes you take your place in the world of the spirit, by empowering your spirit man for dominion.
Talking about the seven-dimensional ministry of the Holy Spirit in Isaiah 11, the Bible says that among other things, He will make you of quick understanding. His empowerment also affects the soul positively. He quickens your mentality and empowers your mental faculty for supernatural exploits. He quickens your understanding, so you don’t judge after the sight of your eyes nor after the hearing of your ears. Rather, your understanding will go beyond the natural sphere.
Remember also what the Bible says in Romans 8:11:
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
So, if you carry the fresh oil of the Holy Spirit, you enjoy fresh health. That scripture says, “he will quicken your mortal body.” Every truly anointed person enjoys fresh health. The fresher the oil, the healthier you live. When you change the engine oil in your car for instance, your engine comes alive afresh. The sound becomes more comely and satisfactory.
The Holy Spirit is the One that quickens. There is one Spirit (Eph. 4:4 ). The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is the same One that quickens your mortal body, energizing it to function perfectly. Empowerment is not limited to only one realm. It covers all the realms of your existence.
Mental empowerment will guarantee you supernatural placement on this earth. That is going to happen for you by the time you’re through reading this book, in Jesus’ name.
In the New Testament, when the Holy Ghost came upon Peter, he was transformed into another man. That delivery he made in Acts 2, on the day of Pentecost, couldn’t have been that of an ignorant and unlearned man. That was supernatural intelligence at work! Spurred on and triggered off by the infusion of the Holy Ghost into his mentality. He stood up and delivered a message he hadn’t made any preparations for, and with absolute precision, with names and dates mentioned with unbelievable accuracy. And in thirty minutes, he had started a church, with 3,000 converts!
How? He simply exploded in mental dignity through a definite mental empowerment by the Holy Ghost. You are the next to explode mentally!
The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of excellence. He is the One called the excellent spirit that indwelled Daniel (Dan. 6:3). He is the spirit of wisdom, counsel, knowledge and understanding. He’s everything that makes for mental prowess, dignity and excellence. The Bible says:
If
ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how
much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that
ask him?
Luke 11:13
This is
your chance for supernatural mental empowerment. This is your chance to
escape the ordinary sphere of life, into the supernatural realm, where
you will stand far above your peers, and far up there in the sky!
Isaiah 55:1 invites everyone that thirsts to come and freely drink of
the water of life. John 7:37-39 makes us understand that the Holy Spirit
is the One being referred to.
The Holy Spirit distinguished Peter (the ignorant and unlearned fisherman), such that he became a celebrity in his generation. It is now your turn! It is your turn to be brought out of that prison, and to find your way to your palace, to enjoy your true placement in the kingdom.
Approach the throne of grace now, for supernatural mental empowerment by a fresh release of the Holy Ghost upon your life. Be determined for an encounter. You must have your own touch today. Go for it now!
