Daily live supernaturally: 1) Recognize that your life itself is supernatural. 2) Understand that God Himself is supernatural. 3) Observe how God is supernaturally working in you. 4) Ponder and surrender to God’s presence. 5) Obey the inner promptings that God puts on your heart.

If there was a big bang blast, God created the super compressed small blob of subatomic matter and then blew it to smithereens.

God is eternal with no beginning and no end. He created all of creation — nature and everything that physically exists, but He’s not a part of it. He’s beyond nature. He is supernatural.

God’s nature is supernatural. You can’t get close to God without encountering the supernatural activity of His Spirit. (Zechariah 4:6) When you do experience God, you can either quench His Spirit (1Thessalonians 5:19) or be led by His Spirit. (Romans 8:14)

There is Someone supernatural who wants to produce ongoing peace in your inner life. Will you let Him?

No snack, no concert, no sporting event, no movie, no series, no text, no class, no degree, no self-help, no friend, no income level, no president, no patriotism, and no military action can set you free from anxiety and bring you long-lasting inner peace. Only God can do that.

When Christianity abandoned the Spirit-prompted energy of Christians testifying (Revelation 12:11) about their daily encounters with Jesus and their daily God-sightings, it morphed into dry, passive religion.

The classroom-style one man lecture meeting that we call a church service wasn't the way the first Christians met.

The early Christians met ekklesia-style as described in 1 Corinthians 14:26. Gradually, Christians moved away from the ekklesia-style gathering where Christ-followers were free to obey the Bible’s 50+ one another commandments.

The New Testament word for gatherings of the body of Christ isn’t “church.” It is the Greek word “ekklesia” which was the town hall meeting in ancient Greek cities where anybody present could openly speak.

Why don’t churches present radical obedience to the risen Jesus as a crazy daily delight? That’s because church and ekklesia are not the same thing.

My business CEO is Jesus. Jesus is speaking. Listen. (Luke 9:35) Jesus wants to be your CEO, your Lord, your God. (John 20:28) His sheep can hear and obey His voice. (John 10:27) True Christianity is a daily delight, not a Sunday morning duty! (1 Peter 1:8)

Jesus is my daily bread. (Matthew 6:11) He’s the living bread who came to give me life (John 6:51) — the bread of life. (John 6:48) I partake of His presence throughout each day. (Psalm 34:8)

My business goal is to let the risen Jesus release the radiant riches of His Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) in and through my daily life. (John 10:10)

My crazy business motto is “Take up your cross daily.” To take up your cross daily is to deny your own desires so that you can devote every day to hearing and doing what Jesus desires for you. (Luke 9:23)

My business doesn’t make any sense to most people, but throughout all the ups and downs of my life, the crazy business of following Jesus keeps me mentally healthy. I am a fool for Christ. (1 Corinthians 4:10)

Here’s some crazy looking hope for a world that’s truly crazy. My “crazy” business keeps me sane. It’s a simple business — the daily business of focusing on and being continually led by the living, resurrected Jesus Christ.

Church membership and/or attendance aren’t the same thing as citizenship in Christ’s kingdom. The gospel of the kingdom has the word “if” in it. Can you find the "if" in Colossians 1:21-23.
