After 43 Years of Ministry, Randy Clark Shares 6 Keys to Walking in the Supernatural

3) It Requires Faith

It takes faith to allow the power of the Spirit to flow through us to others, and God has gone to extremes to create faith in us. He gives us the Holy Spirit, who gives the gift of faith. He gives His words in the Bible, with its tremendous, almost unbelievable promises to encourage our faith and be the basis for our faith. He gives us promises about healing and about miracles and about authority granted to us in Jesus’ name. He tells us that all things are possible—that we can command the mountains to move into the sea and that we can have what we ask if we do not doubt.

On top of all this, He anchors these promises in the covenant through the sacrificial death of Jesus, who bore our sicknesses and diseases in His body when He was crucified, just as He bore our sins, trespasses and iniquity. (See Isaiah 53.)

Ministering in the supernatural is often spelled risk. Clergy and laity alike must be willing to step out in faith, believing God is who He says He is, if they are to flow in the supernatural.

4) It Means Learning From the Scriptures

One way you can begin to build your faith for healing is to find all of the passages in the New Testament that deal with healing and study them, asking the Holy Spirit to teach you about healing. As you study the healings in the Gospels, you will build your expectation and your understanding of the ministry of healing with Jesus as your model.

The more time you spend in God’s Word, the more intimate you will become with Him. We must be intimate with the Father if we are to walk in His supernatural ways, just as Jesus was intimate with the Father.

In John 16, Jesus tells His disciples, “I am going to the Father.” Then He says, “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you” (vv. 13-14, NIV).

This is a picture of the Trinity. We ask the Father in the name of Jesus, then the Holy Spirit comes and enables us because Jesus has given us the authority, and this in turn brings glory to the Father and the Son.

As we become more intimate with each Person of the Trinity, we begin to see the connection between revelation, which is about hearing from the Father, and sanctification, which is about obedience. We obey Him because we love Him, and out of our obedience flows a fruitfulness that gives witness to God’s glory in miracles, signs and wonders.
