Description

Our world is full of fear: fear of death, public speaking, flying, drowning, failure, rejection, snakes, needles, heights, darkness, enclosed places, and countless more. Satan uses fear to steal joy, kill opportunity, and destroy hope. God has an antidote: supernatural courage.Our favorite Bible heroes achieved results greater than their natural abilities because of bravery that came only from God. Followers of Jesus throughout history have had the Holy Spirit come upon them to achieve supernatural outcomes. In Supernatural Courage, Robinson uses biblical examples, interviews, and testimonies, along with Bible promises, prayers, and activations to impart spiritual bravery for strength to live a life beyond what's normal.These pages will help activate supernatural courage in your life so that you can hope--and then persevere through overwhelming challenges, stand against intimidation, believe for the impossible, forgive amid injustice, use spiritual gifts for spiritual victories, and finish the race God has given you.

Supernatural Courage is full of astounding testimonies of God’s love and power, and I believe it will impart spiritual courage so you can take hold of the promises of God with renewed purpose.”
Dr. Ché Ahn, founder and president of Harvest International Ministry and international chancellor of Wagner University
“Mickey Robinson’s life and ministry exemplify supernatural courage. By reading Mickey’s new book, you can equip yourself with the very same courage that the greatest men and women of the Bible used to achieve God’s ultimate plan for their lives and to transform the lives of others. If you want to take your life to the next level and stand up to the greatest challenges this world offers, learn and follow the principles laid out in Supernatural Courage , and you’ll never be the same!”
Jordan Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Maker’ s Diet and founder of Garden of Life and Ancient Nutrition
“Since the Garden of Eden, God has been searching for individuals with the courage to trust Him thoroughly. Mickey’s life has been all about such courage as God has led him from a life-threatening accident, through miraculous personal healing and into a life of powerful ministry. This book imparts the wisdom he has gained about true Christian courage. Read it with expectation—this same God wants to encourage you.”
Michael S. Brooks, M.D.
“It takes courage to be human. We are subject, because of the original Fall, to weaknesses, frailties, vulnerabilities and even death. Mickey is as human as you can be from a Scriptural perspective. He is as real and as vulnerable as it gets. In my opinion, that is what makes Supernatural Courage so appealing. Mickey shows us how to be courageously human by the power of the Holy Spirit!”
Dr. Mark J. Chironna, founder of Mark Chironna Ministries and founding and lead pastor of Church On The Living Edge, Longwood, Florida
“Here’s a book you need to read, especially in the days we’re living in! There is no one I can think of more suited to write a book about supernatural courage than Mickey Robinson. He has given us a deep well to swim in to find the measure of courage to live for God in this difficult time. You will be baptized into fresh courage just by reading this book!”
Brian Simmons, The Passion Translation Project
“Mickey Robinson’s extraordinary, personal, supernatural courage allows him to write with an authenticity and authority that will impart supernatural courage to every reader. Learn from an expert and increase your own supernatural courage. You can. You must!”
Steve Berger, founding pastor of Grace Chapel, Franklin, Tennessee
“Do you want to grow in your faith and be more courageous in your life? Do you believe there are giants in the land that you need to conquer? Is there a new territory you need to take? If so, Mickey Robinson’s book Supernatural Courage will feed your soul and inspire your heart to be an overcomer in Christ Jesus. You are destined for greatness! So follow the life example and the courageous ministry of one of my most trusted friends in the Body of Christ. You were born to come out on the other side better than you came in!”
James W. Goll, author, international speaker and founder of God Encounters Ministries and GOLL Ideation

Foreword
Not everyone would attempt to jump out of an airplane on a skydiving expedition at 12,500 feet, but our dear friend Mickey did as a brash nineteen year old. Call that bold and adventurous! Call it courageous! Call it just an extreme and borderline reckless choice in that time of his life! But what emerged from his boyhood brush with death when the plane crashed one August day was a supernatural brand of courage that has inspired, encouraged and challenged audiences around the world. And now we have a book that gives us the secret to attaining that kind of courage for ourselves.
We may not opt for skydiving as a hobby, but we live in a dangerous world. We are surrounded by constant threats—terrorism, fatal diseases, accidents, drugs and, always, the evil intent of our archenemy, Satan. Through these and other means, his agenda is to take us out or, at the very least, to render us helpless and hopeless. That is where this book comes in.
In eleven powerful chapters, Mickey carves out the path to bold, brave living. As a trailblazing overcomer through his near-death experience, he weaves his own story of God’s redeeming love throughout the steps to victorious living—courage to hope, to follow Jesus, to be humble, to fight, to strengthen yourself, to persevere, to use your gifts, to succeed, to forgive, to love and to go the distance.
With humility and transparency, Mickey confesses his own fears and inadequacies and reveals how God has walked him through the deepest valleys and helped him soar to the mountaintops through the empowering of the Holy Spirit. In each chapter, Mickey profiles another courageous person—a biblical hero or someone Mickey knows personally—who was able to overcome an “impossible” situation with God’s supernatural strength.
During the writing of this book, Mickey and his fearless, gifted wife, Barbara, faced the challenge of their lives when she was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. Testing their courage to the deepest level yet, the Lord took them and many of those who love them to the throne of grace. Walking through this trial with them was a privilege for us—crying out to our Father in prayer and worship, drawing us closer to Him and to each other.
We have walked through life with Mickey for twenty years. We have ministered together, laughed and cried together, and prayed and worshiped in seasons of victories and struggles, and we all know from experience that it is not about what we can achieve with our own natural talents and abilities. Let me, Michael, be honest with you. When I am behind a keyboard, worshiping the Lord, I feel more than seven feet tall. I could never do what I do without the supernatural anointing of the Holy Spirit. Neither can Mickey—and neither can you! As Mickey famously says, “Jesus doesn’t call us to what we can do, but to what we can’t do without Him.” That takes supernatural courage.
Michael W. and Debbie Smith
