God's Supernatural Workings in Our Daily Lives

Pearls of Biblical Wisdom for Believers and Fathers

Season 3 Episode 37 Many of you are probably familiar with the following verses in Joshua 10:13,14 "And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel."

This was surely a unique sign and wonder miracle in the days of Israel that demonstrates God's omnipotent ability to intervene into the normal operations of natural laws that were set in motion when God first created the world. Pastor Barrett Marshall preached a sermon on this chapter last Sunday at our church (Greenville Christian Fellowship -- Greenville S.C.). It is posted on Sermon Audio already along with other sermons he has preached. He gave me permission to share it with you through the podcast ministry. It was such a power-impacting message that helps a person understand the power of the cross and salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ -- he brings this out in his conclusion. He entitled the message: "A Day Unlike Any Other." My take away from the message was: How any believer can have a blessed day and the supernatural works of God be accomplished -- in the life of a person, in a home, in a marriage, on a job, at the store, in the hospital -- regardless of the trying circumstances. Each of his points were practical Biblical steps we as believers can take and live in the reality of -- so that the supernatural life of the Lord Jesus Christ is manifest. I would encourage you to have pen and paper ready so you can jot the points down as you listen to this message. Pray before you start listening and ask God to open your eyes so that in every day of your life you can have spiritual discernment of how El Shaddai -- Almighty God is working in your life personally so that every day you can be aware of His supernatural workings -- walking by faith and not by physical sight.

As I was writing these thoughts I received a very unexpected phone call with someone describing to me a horrible situation taking place in their life. The more we talked the more I understood the strongholds the powers of darkness had in the situation. In such a situation looking at it humanly there was no reason to think of a blessed day or to perceive God's working. But knowing the truth presented in this sermon I turned the conversation to looking at the same situation from God's frame of reference and understand the power of prayer through omnipotent God to break the powers of darkness' strongholds. The Key to God's frame of reference and God's supernatural working is understanding Calvary's Cross. As you listen to this sermon ask God to give you a greater understanding of the victory Christ won through His death, burial and resurrection.

Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
