The Rejection of the Supernatural
The modern God Who many believers serve is hedged about with so many limitations, laws and conditions that He is practically powerless to do anything outside the ordinary laws of nature.

J.H. Jowett has observed “We are living too much as men lived before the Holy Spirit was given. We have not occupied the new and far-stretching land of Christian privilege . . . Therefore many of the gifts and graces and perfumes of the Apostolic Age are absent from our modern life.”

So many believers have come to deny the possibility of the supernatural I the church in spite of the fact that the whole fabric of Christianity is interwoven with the supernatural. A supernatural gospel is meant to accomplish supernatural results because it has a supernatural power behind its messengers. We are living in the last days of a dying dispensation of grace when the Holy Spirit is seeking to work in a miraculous way. We have been so brought up in a church that we have lost the sense of the majestic and power of Jehovah. How little sense of the supernatural pervades our services! Oh, how one longs for the Spirit of God to break through all our convictions, campaigns and planned programs and take full control of the church. Shall the faith of a Michael Peden or a William Carey be simply an occasional and extraordinary phenomenon of Christian experience, or shall theirs be the normal standard of Victorious Christian living?
