Many discoveries on the level of quantum physics, the study of subatomic particles, proved that we influence our world with our thoughts.  No wonder that the greatest “physicist”, the Creator of the universe wrote in His Book, the Bible, “For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” (Pro 23:7). Our thoughts can play a powerful role in our wellbeing, health and prosperity as I will explain below.

We can influence our destiny, create opportunities and change circumstances by practising positive thought as an underlying principle of faith.  In fact, I will show you that this is exactly how we are instructed in the Bible to practise our faith:

Modern day scientists and intellectuals doubt many of the stories in the Bible about Jesus and the miracles, signs and wonders that He performed. There is however a difference between educated intellect and spiritual intellect, and many times it is our well-developed worldly intellect and understanding of physics that prevents us from performing supernatural acts.

We read about an amazing miracle in the Bible that contains a very important key to miracle-working faith that can manifest supernatural outcomes in the natural. Not only was Jesus able to perform this specific supernatural act, but also one of His disciples, and this an important key for us normal mortals to also know how to live a supernatural, spiritual life. The spiritual dimension is not limited by natural laws as Jesus has so beautifully demonstrated during His life on earth. We may ask ourselves why did God manifest in the lower form of flesh for a while to show us this kind of power? As we closely study Bible Scripture, we can clearly come to the conclusion that it was to show us the way into a higher life of spiritual authority and victory, even over natural forces:

Mat 14:24-31
…but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.

When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

We all know that Peter started to sink after walking a certain distance on the water, but note what Jesus said to Peter in verse 31:

You of little faith, why did you doubt?

It is clear from these words that it was Peter’s faith that enabled him to walk on water, and iut was his own doubt and fear that prevented him to walk on water all the way!

What we think with our rational minds, and accept as the highest law at work in our believe system, can limit us to what we can, or can’t do. We have unlimited capabilities as demonstrated by Jesus and these words. Our minds, lack of faith and understanding of spiritual concepts, are the limitations we continuously impose on ourselves. The only barrier standing between us and supernatural ability is our lack of spiritual understanding.

But can we really have this kind of power? More than two thousand years ago, Peter had the momentary faith to get out of the boat and walk on water. A logical deduction from this is that it must then be possible for man to walk on water…. think about it! Shouldn’t we have discovered the secret after all these years?

What prevents us from walking on water or effecting other supernatural miracles? Nothing, really, according to Jesus!

You might argue that this miracle was only possible because Jesus was present and He, in His divine power commanded Peter to walk on the water. So, it was by the authority that Jesus had, that Peter walked on water… but these words of Jesus “..why did you doubt?” clearly shows that Peter actually walked on water by his own spark of faith.

Jesus also commanded us, His followers, to go and do supernatural miracles, signs and wonders:

Mark 16:17,20
And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well.

And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied [it]. Amen (so be it).

The Bible is full of examples of miracles performed by ordinary people. The following scripture makes it quite clear that we are actually empowered and commanded to demonstrate God’s kingdom power by means of supernatural signs, miracles and wonders.

John 14:12
I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.

Our preconditioned, objective minds are causing doubt and unbelief. We are so scientifically educated that our rational minds overrule spiritual truths. From childhood, natural knowledge and experiences convinced us that anything heavier than water will undoubtedly sink. Subsequently, what science teaches us, we are accepting as the highest law at work on earth.

However, what the Spirit of God teaches us originates from a higher realm of authority. Spiritual power originates from the same realm from where thought and words have created the universe. It is even a higher spiritual law at work than mere mental science or the Law of Attraction.

Jesus demonstrated this kind of powerful living all the time and the Bible kept record of it as an example for our spiritual development.

What do you believe – natural fact or spiritual truth?

Where do you limit yourself? Do you limit yourself on the level of the natural, or are you willing to leap out of the boat into the supernatural dimension of authority and power?

At first, Peter didn’t reason about the water and scientific facts, but acted on a higher authority, this “blind” faith enabled him to actually walk on the water for a while. Then a second thought, on the level of physics started to contradict his act of faith. As soon as he started lowering his level of thought to consider the natural environment and the lower laws of physics, accepting this as the controlling level of authority, he sank. He became subject to a lower level of authority limited by physical laws.

Now you know why there are educated intellectuals who will forever doubt and argue the possibility of miracles and they will never see or believe in miracles. It just goes beyond their rational understanding. They are specialists within the lower physical plane of existence. The lower level cannot explain or understand the higher spiritual level of the supernatural. Many people’s level of spiritual power is based on the knowledge from the lower physical level of science, which has become their controlling law. For many people, entering into the higher level of spiritual power is very difficult, as it requires that the rational mind must accept concepts that are in contradiction to the laws of physics that can be explained by logic and mathematical equations.

There are many examples of this battle inside our minds:

• The physical proven fact is: Man can’t walk on water.
  The spiritually proven truth is: Man can walk on water.

• The medically proven fact and the prognosis might be that someone is terminally sick, and there is no medical cure for the specific illness.
  The spiritual truth is: “By His stripes we were healed” (1 Peter 2:24), and Jesus and His disciples demonstrated this power by healing the blind, those with leprosy and every other ”incurable” sickness, they even Many of us have seen and experienced these miracles in our lifetime.

• The natural situation is that there might be a recession and a lack of jobs and finances, or you have lost your source of income.
  The Biblical spiritual truth is that you can become rich in the midst of famine and create opportunities from a supernatural dimension. Jesus demonstrated this by withdrawing money from the mouth of a fish and increases a few pieces of bread and fish to feed five thousand men and their families. He said that He came to preach the ”good news” to the poor. You don’t have to stay in poverty!

Was this only possible in Biblical times?
Not at all, I tested each and every principle described above in my own life and you can read these testimonies in my book – Entrance to Power. In this book I describe the exact circumstances, the exact thoughts of doubt or faith that were going through my mind at the time when I saw these miracles manifesting before my own eyes. I tell it just as it was, the words I spoke and the acts that brought about the most amazing miracles, and these are only a few examples.

Yes, people might have thought I was blasphemous and trying to exalt myself to the level of Jesus. One day, I was standing listening to the family members of a man that was already being declared brain-dead, he was litterally taking his last breaths of life and was only kept alive by machines. While they were standing there waiting to bid this dying man farewell, and discussing the funeral arrangements, I chipped in and said: “You know what? Garry is not not that sick all! “.

You could hear a pin drop…
Then I said: “He is still breathing, Lazarus was in the grave for three days, and lived…” Well, it is a long story, but this man and a few other critical cases are alive and well today because I refused to accept the natural facts. It was a lesson for me, what would have happened if I conformed to everyone else’s idea of what is going to happen?  And I had the priviledge to witness this a number of times.  Yes, I consider myself extremely priviledged and I am humbled by these experiences.  But the fact is, if I can see these miracles, so should everyone else.  And what a place this world would be if we all step into this realm spirit power?

What are you going to accept and believe as the highest authority in your life, natural fact or spiritual truth?

Are you constantly feeding your mind with natural facts and negative talk, or are you meditating and prophesying spiritual truths over your own future?

What you believe is what you will create in your own life. What you believe will also come out in your words. Do you speak life and act on spiritual truths, or do you accepts the symptoms of sickness to be the final outcome in your life?

Initially, Peter probably never thought that he could walk on water because everyone knows as a natural and scientific fact that it is impossible. Peter and the disciples have never seen such a thing accomplished by any man. However, hearing the calm and commanding voice of his Teacher and witnessing the example Jesus was setting before them, Peter at once believed in his inner most being that it must be possible. For a moment he silenced his rational mind and really believed that he can also do it. For a moment he accepted the Words of Jesus as the higher level of authority.

True to his impulsive character and without a second thought, he jumped out of the boat. It was only a distance away from the boat that his rational mind awakened to the fact that he is actually doing the impossible, he is walking on water!

His rational mind, the logically reasoning mind, started to contradict his “blind” faith. Doubt and fear then started to overrule the principle of “supernatural faith”, fear gripped his heart and his abilities were limited to the laws of physics, he started to sink. Nevertheless, he walked on water back to the boat together with Jesus. Not too bad for walking on water for the first time, I would say!

When you are having second thoughts about anything you believe, you will start losing faith and the creation of the supernatural outcome that was already on its way to you is compromised. Never accept the physical facts as final! Do not accept that God is saying “no” to your prayers, not if His Word says “YES”.

Just like Peter listened to the voice of Jesus, commanding him to get out of the boat, we should not attempt the supernatural without first seeking the knowledge, guidance and instructions from God, and apply it for the right purpose – to establish or expand the kingdom of God in people’s lives.

How do we know what God’s instructions are?

The first level of instruction and guidance can be found in the Bible. The better you know God’s will and instructions by studying and meditating the Word of God, the more faith you will have to perform supernatural miracles. From studying the Word with the right attitude, we know that physical healing is God’s will, and we can perform healing miracles without doubting if it is God’s will. Why? Jesus never turned anyone away that came to Him for healing. It is written – “He healed them all!”

This is why, when I minister to people for healing, I will never pray “If it is Your will God, please heal this sick person? ” This is what I have done for many years, trying to get people healed, and nothing I can really describe as a supernatural miracle ever happened. There is another kind of faith that can produce instant results, or results that are unexplainable by science. It was only when I blindly “jumped out of the boat” and started commanding sickness and pain to leave. This authority, backed by many hours of meditating and studying to understand and believe, caused that first miracle to manifest. There was no turn-around after this, I have witnessed my first miracle!

If you are a believer in the God revealed to us in Bible scripture, you are supposed to be God’s appointed ruler on earth (Rev 5:10, Luke 10:19). Just accept your God-given right (by grace) and take up the responsibility. We should start doing the things God expects from us as His sons and daughters, people that should start coming forth in the very same image of His dear Son, Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4:13).

Jesus commanded His disciples to go and heal the sick. God is on your side! It is your inheritance. We should rule on this earth as God’s appointed kings (Rev 5:10, Luke 10:19), not sickness or calamity! Train yourself then in this faith, grow in it, and start to practice your authority over natural things from the supernatural dimension of the Spirit.

By studying the Word of God, we also know that prosperity and abundance is God’s will for everyone. One of the main reasons Jesus mentioned that he came to earth, is to “proclaim the gospel (good news) to the poor”. The promise for provision and prosperity is one of the most repeated promises to be found in the Bible. It is the one promise directly associated with the Way of the Spirit in Mathew 6:33. Mathew 6:33 is about material blessings. We should know who we are in the spiritual realm and we should know our position of authority on this earth.

Therefore, we can freely ask God for anything we need, as long as our purpose is to support us in demonstrating and advancing His kingdom on earth. This is one of the basic rules for wealth creation. Work for the kingdom of God by performing the miracles and the signs identified with His kingdom of power, and everything “shall be added unto you” .

God’s kingdom is one of giving to receive. To serve is one of the most important factors that will bring supernatural provision into your life. Giving away demonstrates our faith in God’s supernatural provision and abundance.

God’s kingdom is on earth, and it is a kingdom marked by miracles, signs and wonders as Jesus has demonstrated. God is waiting for us to heal the sick, raise the dead and speak abundance into existence. Get the knowledge!

This is an article based on the contents of my eBook – Entrance to Power

let’s say you trust God for something specific in your life and you know that it is something good and positive and in accordance to the Bible.

For example: You might trust God for financial provision, a good job or independence, and it doesn’t happen. The question then comes to you “Is it God’s will for my life?”

Someone recently asked me this question: “I know that God wants to bless us all the time, in our finances, in our health and in everything we do. But the problem is that very often people talk about God’s will and how a lot of people in the bible were poor and suffering and they were people that loved God, for example Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31. Was it God’s plan for Lazarus to be poor and sick?”

First let me say that we are encouraged to pray and believe for anything, whether it is something we want or need:

Mark 11:23-24
Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

Philippians 4:6
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

Mathew 6:8
… for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

We have been created by God as co-creators on earth. This means that we will have the natural desire to always seek increase in our lives. One of the most common causes for depression is the fact that people have lost their vision for the future. They have accepted as fact in their minds the idea that their future holds no increase or change of circumstances for them. They have lost hope and feel stuck in what see and experience around them.

Sometimes, we might not receive what we ask for immediately. The reason is that we are on earth for the purpose of learning, growing and maturing our soul lives. We need to work on our motives and soul growth first to qualify and be ready for some of the things we ask for, but eventually, we will receive what we have asked for if we keep on believing and working in the natural to develop the opportunities presented to us from a higher Influence in order to make it happen. Many believe they can ask for anything and God will just supply it while they are sitting back and passively watching the horizon for the thing to appear from nowhere out of heaven, and if it doesn’t happen, they will say “It was not God’s will that I should not receive it” or “God said ‘No’”.

As we grow in soul maturity, spirit knowledge, and faith, we will find that our needs and wants become Kingdom directed. In other words, our motives, ideals and what we desire or have obtained by materialistic means, become subservient to our higher calling as co-creative souls with the creative Spirit of God. As we get attuned to God and come in line with God’s will, we then start to see provision, healing and blessings flow into your life as we adhere to one principle that is the most important pivotal spiritual key to a life of increase and success.

Everything you do in life, your work, your riches, independence, all should be directed to bring you into the right circumstances so that you can best utilize your God-given talents and abilities to expand and co-create with the Spirit of God with the purpose to expand the Kingdom of God on earth. The kingdom of God is first established and increased in your own life, your family and then in the lives of others that come in contact with you.
This is the ultimate key to success and increase, and specifically on a materialistic level if you objectively read this scripture within context:

Mathew 6:33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

These are incredible powerful verses we find in the Bible, and if it doesn’t work in your life, the fault is not with God or His promises, it is to be found within your own mind, your attitudes, your believes, your words and your actions. For any miracle or supernatural interference to manifest in the physical, our thoughts, words and actions must be in agreement. This is how faith for the supernatural is released to produce miracles.

The presence of God in you will increase in your life in all aspects and you become a co-creator with God, empowered to ultimately manifest His kingdom in this three-dimensional realm by means of the spiritual gifts resulting in miracles, signs and wonders as Jesus has demonstrated so wonderfully.

Meditate for a moment on these verses in the Bible:

Mathew 18:19 Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven.

Mark 11:24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

John 14:12-14 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father

And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.

[Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].

John 15:7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

John 16:23 … I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that My Father will grant you whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].

1John 3:22 And we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we [watchfully] obey His orders [observe His suggestions and injunctions, follow His plan for us] and [habitually] practice what is pleasing to Him.

1John 5:15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.

This spiritual power will not be released into your life before your soul (conscious mind) has not adapted and accepted as the highest law, the principles of the law of the Spirit (the highest law of the Spirit of God is love). Spiritual “head knowledge” or even knowing and practicing religious doctrine, is powerless if spiritual revelation is not meditated upon (Psalm 1) until it is the ruling and controlling knowledge in our higher, spiritual mind (the subconscious) and you are constantly progressing into greater harmony and “in tune” with God’s “mind and thoughts” (God’s will). Meditation and prayer brings us into oneness with the Father Spirit.

People who claim that it is God’s will for some to be rich and others not, or some to be healed and others not, should then explain if all these Bible passages are lies. If God lies, then He is not divine and He cannot be trusted at all.

Jesus said: “ I only do the will of my Father” – John 5:30

Did Jesus heal all the sick that came to him in faith – YES

Jesus said: “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” John 10:10

Do you believe it for all aspects of your life, spirit, soul and body?
You can take the following scripture to your heart for provision in spirit, soul and body:

2Corinthians 8:9
For you are becoming progressively acquainted with and recognizing more strongly and clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing), [in] that though He was [so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied).

Let us look at the case of Lazarus, the poor beggar, lying at the entrance of a rich man’s house in Luke 16:19-31

In this passage the story is told to contrast between the rich and healthy man, and the poor, sick Lazarus. Now what is the actual message of this passage of scripture?

1. To tell us that all rich men go to hell and all poor fellows go to heaven? No, Jesus is teaching the people that the condition of the heart, your spirit, and soul determines where you will end up. This is in contrast with what many on earth might view as success. Jesus is using this contrast between the false security in earthly riches and the meek and humble true nature of a man’s heart to bring the message over. The message is not against riches, but the fallen state of a man’s heart in contrast with his seemingly successful earthly life.
2. To tell us that it is God’s will for some to be rich and others to be poor and sick?
   This is even more ridiculous as nothing is mentioned in this passage that Jesus might have walked passed this sick man who was asking for healing, and then Jesus would have said: “No, it’s not the Father’s will for you to be healed, stay sick so that God can use your story to show that people who are sick and poor should be contempt with their situation”

So why was Lazarus sick and poor all his life? The Bible doesn’t say because Jesus told this story to emphasize the fact that we are saved, not by earthly status and splendour, but by the ways of our hearts, by faith and living for His kingdom by demonstrating God’s love towards others. What I do know is that there are other scriptures that directly address the issues of healing and abundant living. We don’t have to refer to a scriptural piece that in essence has nothing to do with the concept of poverty, riches or health, to try and prove something that contradicts the rest of scripture.

There are numerous other Bible scriptures that clearly and directly spells out God’s will for us to be healed and to increase in abundance, in fact, Jesus clearly states that this is the reason He came to earth; to show us the way into victory and abundant living by God’s grace while on earth. Grace is what we can obtain by faith. Math 6:33, John 10:10, Isa: 61:1, Luke 4:18, 1 Peter 2:24

If you have ever wondered what God’s will is, look at what Jesus did and taught. He demonstrated the perfect will of the Father. He healed all the sick and never lacked to pay for anything. He even increased food and withdraw money from the mouth of a fish when the money bag was not at hand. He also walked on water, calmed the storm and made wine from water and performed many other supernatural miracles.

Why are some good folks sick and/or poor in this life? Well, one passage states the following: So that God’s glory and love can be demonstrated through the miracles of healing and/or blessings. One example is the story of a man born blind, the disciples suggested all sorts of reasons for the man’s blindness, but Jesus said something very important:

John 9:3-4
Jesus answered, It was not that this man or his parents sinned, but he was born blind in order that the workings of God should be manifested (displayed and illustrated) in him.
We must work the works of Him Who sent Me and be busy with His business while it is daylight; night is coming on, when no man can work.

This is a clear example that it is God’s will to demonstrate His love through healing miracles. Shouldn’t we also demonstrate the same deeds of love and power in the lives of those in need?

John 15:16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], He may give it to you.

Well, to do that we also need to get ourselves healed and blessed in the process, don’t we?

So why are not all our prayers answered to heal the sick or receive what we want?

The answer is a simple one in my opinion:
Because we don’t walk on water yet like Jesus.

Why don’t we walk on water yet?
Because of our lack faith as Jesus has so many times pointed out to His disciples.

Why are we lacking in faith?

Because we don’t spent the time Jesus has spent in the presence of His Father every day and from youth to meditate and learn about the things of the Spirit (See also Psalm 1). We don’t enter into the “Secret Place of the Most High” (Psalm 91) where we can receive this faith, provision, blessings and protection and live a supernatural life as promised in this most powerful Psalm describing the supernatural life. On a soul level, we are not fully developed yet, we are trying to accomplish things in our own power and by our earthly intellect instead of believing we can walk on water, heal the sick, calm the storm, increase food, change water into wine etc. etc.

Our spirits can be perfectly saved through spiritual re-birth and becomes perfect and one with God’s Spirit. Our souls are saved through the process of the washing by the Word of God that we obtain be reading and meditating God’s Word. Only then can we start to apply these principles in our daily lives. We should buy out time in God’s presence to receive revelation and spiritual impartation.

To hide our own lack of spiritual power and shortcomings on a soul level, many would say that it is God’s will for this person not to be healed, or its God’s will that I am poor, or it is God’s will that this calamity has killed so many people.

Whenever I pray for someone and that person is not healed, I look into my own soul, and I can clearly see many reasons why I have failed… for if everyone was instantly healed, I would probably stop learning and developing on a soul level, I might even become boastful and my own ego might be become too big for me and others to handle. But thank God for the miracles I do experience so many times!

Every time I fail on a spiritual level, I go back to God, dissatisfied with myself and my lack of spiritual development, and then I try again, I seek for more revelation, I learn… and I grow in spiritual power.

Jesus said: I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father. (John 14:12)

This is God’s will, for you and I; to grow in spiritual power and to live the same powerful life that Jesus was able to live on earth!

Ask, seek and knock to enter into God’s presence!

To help you in your soul journey to grow in God’s power, I have written this very comprehensive study based on the revelations and practical examples whereby I have tested and proved for myself, each and every principle over the span of more than twenty years. This is a book about miracles, signs and wonders and how to make them happen – Entrance to Power.

Entrance to Power

Many books and teachings exist on the subject of the power of positive thought and visualization, and with good reason.  There is a lot of truth in the concept of creative visualization when combined with faith.

Unfortunately, hidden within many of these teachings is a great and dangerous flaw that will lead to many disappointments for the spiritually uninformed.

There are limits to our mental creativity and power of thought.  The reason mental creativity is limited, is because it is not the ultimate level of authority and it is actually only a sub-activity or a gateway towards the higher dimension of spiritual power.
