Description

Cindy Jacobs begins The Supernatural Life with a testimony of her first stirring encounter with the Holy Spirit. Her relationship with God was transformed, giving her the power of the supernatural in her life and the knowledge of how to release it. As in Acts 1:8, the Scriptures came alive to her more than ever before, and she found the capacity to witness boldly. With warmth, humor, and many revealing accounts, Jacobs shows that it takes the power of the Holy Spirit to do what God wants you to accomplish in your life. Join the bestselling author of Women of Destiny and discover step by step how to invite the Holy Spirit into your own life for remarkable change.

While churches in Asia, Africa and South America are growing and experiencing the miracles of the New Testament, most churches in the United States preach an anemic gospel that produces little fruit. Cindy Jacobs challenges us to embrace all the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit—so that we can demonstrate genuine Christianity to our generation. This is an important message for this hour.

Editor, Charisma
This book conveys one of the most important truths for Christians to understand and appropriate: The main occupation of the devil is to keep humankind from receiving Christ in a supernatural born-again experience—to keep them from appropriating and demonstrating all that Christ provided for believers to be and do. The greatest harvest of souls ever recorded will take place when Christians begin fully living their supernatural life and demonstrate Christ’s supernatural power to all humankind. Thanks, Cindy, for sharing these simple but life-changing and powerful truths concerning the supernatural life of Christ.

The Body of Christ is moving into an incredible time of change. We are entering a dimension of supernatural confrontation and power like we have never known in our recent history. The Supernatural Life , by Cindy Jacobs, will help us make the coming shift. The atmosphere in the earthly realm is changing because the heavens are opening and dropping a spiritual rain. The supernatural changes in the earthly realm will be astounding over the next several years. One of the main purposes of Jesus’ changing the water to wine at the wedding in Cana was to cause His disciples to believe (see John 2). The Lord is going to change the mind of believers by bringing miracles into the earthly realm. The presence of miracles will reveal our unbelief (see Acts 28:6). Glory on Earth produces change. Read The Supernatural Life and be prepared for the changes ahead!

As we draw closer to the return of the Lord, spiritual warfare will intensify. Those who oppose God will be stronger and more malevolent than ever before, and those who serve Him will experience an intensification of God’s miraculous power as never before. Paul said, be filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, you will receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you will be my witnesses. There is no way the Church can go forth and witness to the unconverted world without the power of God. There is no way that Christians can go forth into the spiritual battle without the power of the Holy Spirit. In The Supernatural Life , Cindy Jacobs bridges the natural and supernatural. Read the book, receive the power, and live the supernatural life.

Breakthrough is occurring in the spirit realm around us and it is the prelude to change in the natural world in which we live. We need supernatural strength at this critical crossroads in history. Are you satisfied living within the limitations of the natural realm? Or do you want to move forward in faith? Cindy Jacobs knows the way because she has lived the supernatural life. In this book, she has woven a compelling tapestry of the great heritage of believers who have been empowered in the past and God’s desire to release His anointing today. This is a must-read for everyone who wants to tap into the supernatural realm while living in the natural realm.

Cindy’s new book is riveting. My heart burned as I read it. I felt a switch turn on in my heart—with a desire to seek more of the Spirit’s power in my own life and to pursue healing prayers for others. I pray that this is more than a mere book—that it becomes a tool of the Holy Spirit to reach out to ignite the hearts of thousands upon thousands with a desire to seek the Lord strongly.

Cindy Jacobs shows believers how to live in the arena of the miraculous and gives us practical steps that will help sharpen our God-given gifts. Why settle for less than God’s best? I highly recommend The Supernatural Life for people desiring to break out of the ordinary and live the extraordinary life God has destined for them!

Many people are calling this new era “The Day of the Saints.” Cindy has done a great job explaining how ordinary people become extraordinary Christians, doing the works of Jesus. This is a down-to-earth manual for moving in gifts with lots of real-life examples. I love it!

I NTRODUCTION
THE SUPERNATURAL JOURNEY

When I was a new Christian, my friends and I formed a group called the God Squad . Many of us looked a bit strange. The guys wore their hair long (young Christians who do that today are sometimes called Nazirites 1 ), and the girls mostly parted their hair down the middle and wore it straight and long.
We were wildly radical for Jesus. We spent many Saturdays knocking on the doors of people we didn’t know, seeking those who needed an encounter with Jesus. We spent countless hours praying to God for those who needed His healing touch. And we spent numerous days telling of the Holy Spirit’s power and how He had transformed our lives. People who had been lost were found; the sick were healed; and the power came. We did not know that we were in a time of God’s visitation; we just lived supernaturally natural lives. It was the best of times. We were Jesus Freaks!
We Are on the Threshold of a Fresh Visitation
God is again coming with great waves of glory to touch the world. All across the face of the earth the prophets are saying
