The more you study the scriptures, the

 

more convinced you’ll be that Christianity

 

isn’t a religion at all, but a living, exciting,

 

fulfilling, and extraordinary walk in the

 

supernatural. I made this discovery early in

 

life as a young lad. The more I studied the

 

Word of God, the more excited I was

 

about Jesus; I discovered that Christianity works. I discovered that the Word was living and active. I discovered that the miracles in the Bible weren’t mere

 

stories, and that the Holy Spirit was more than an

 

influence.

 

Let’s look at some exciting examples in the Scriptures

 

of some of those in whose lives the Holy Spirit

 

manifested His extraordinary power. Judges 15:16 tells

 

us how Samson overcame a thousand trained soldiers

 

with the jawbone of an ass. In 1 Samuel 17:34-35, David

 

testified how he killed a lion and a bear with his bare

 

hands. Consider Moses: Once, he and the Israelites were

 

hemmed in between the Red Sea, and the charging

 

Egyptian troops. The Bible tells us that as Moses

 

stretched his hand over the Sea, it split wide open for

 

the Israelites to walk through on dry ground.

 

How exciting and inspiring to know that the same Spirit

 

that worked with these and other Bible characters, as

 

well as the Lord Jesus, and the apostles, is the same

 

Spirit that’s at work in us today. 2 Corinthians 4:7 says,

 

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the

 

excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

 

Ours is even better, because like the Lord Jesus, we

 

have the fullness of the Spirit (John 1:16, Colossians

 

2:9-10).

 

The same Spirit that raised Him from the dead lives in us

 

today in His fullness (Romans 8:11); therefore, you can

 

walk in fellowship with God as the prophets, the Lord

 

Jesus, and the apostles did. You can live an exciting life

 

of victory, success, and excellence by the same Spirit.
