  1. Praise the Lord, and a very good morning to you.

  2. Welcome to our morning Glory devotion, which is powered by

  3. Harvestapol International Commercy. Today's devotion will be shared by Pastor

  4. and Missus armond Apia.

  5. Please let's share word of prayer.

  6. Father, will thank you this morning for your goodness, and

  7. my Sisterwards asked thank you for the gift of life

  8. and the privilege to gather around your word. We welcome

  9. your presence into this moment, and we ask in the

  10. name of Jesus that you nourish us with all grace

  11. and wisdom in.

  12. The precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  13. Amen, Let's take our confession from Joshua chapter one, verse eight.

  14. This book of the Law shall not depart out of

  15. my mouth, but I shall meditate in it day and night,

  16. that I may observe to do according to all that

  17. is written in it. For then I will make my

  18. way prosperous, and then I will have good success.

  19. Amen.

  20. Our devotion is titled the Simplicity of the Supernatural. Will

  21. take a scripture reading from First Kings chapter nineteen, verse

  22. nine to thirteen.

  23. N e t. He went into a cave there and

  24. spent the night.

  25. All of a sudden, the Law's message came to him.

  26. Why are you here, Elijah?

  27. He answered, I have been absolutely loyal to the Lord,

  28. God of Heaven's armies. Even though the Israelites have abandoned

  29. the covenant they made with you, turned down your altars

  30. and killed your prophet to the sword. I alone am left,

  31. and now they want to take my life. The Lord said,

  32. go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord. Look,

  33. the Lord is ready to pass by. A very powerful

  34. wind went before the Lord, digging into the mountain and

  35. cossain landslide, but the Lord was not in the wind.

  36. After the windstorm, there was an earthquake, but the Lord

  37. was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake, there was

  38. a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire.

  39. After the fire, there was a soft whisper. When Elijah

  40. heard it, he covered his face with his rope and

  41. went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.

  42. All of a sudden, a voice asked me, why are

  43. you here, Elijah?

  44. Amen? May the Lord bless the reading of his Holy Word.

  45. The simplicity of the supernatural. Many believers today have been

  46. conditioned to associate the supernatural with word is spectacular or dramatic,

  47. simplicity is quietly dismissed as inadequate or even suspicious. Yet

  48. the account of Elijah at Hurry unsettles this assumption. There

  49. was a wind, an earthquake, and a fire, and as

  50. powerful as they may be, the Lord wasn't in any

  51. of them. Instead, the Lord showed up in a still

  52. small voice or whisper, proving that the supernatural is not

  53. always accompanied by a spectacle. Many believers pursue spectacular expressions

  54. of spirituality, convinced that God is most present where drama

  55. is most versible. There are others who are also not

  56. persuaded by such displays, and they eventually go wary of

  57. the supernatural Lord together, unsettled by how it is publicly

  58. portrayed the simplicity of the supernaturalism discerning the voice of

  59. the Lord. Sometimes in the heat of the spectacular, we

  60. miss out on one of the most important ingredients that

  61. makes for our good in Christ, which is hearing the

  62. voice of God and obeying it. And that is even

  63. more powerful than any other spectacular experience. We may have

  64. simple and struct through the voice of your Holy Spirit,

  65. like read your Bible, love your enemy, go to church,

  66. walk in order, and not less as spiritual acts. They

  67. are the areas that reveal the power of God when

  68. heeded to yes. That is how simple the supernatural can be.

  69. God speaks so that his people may live, obey.

  70. And endure.

  71. When believers learn to discern his voice beyond noise and spectacle,

  72. the supernatural is no longer a source of confusion or fascination,

  73. but a means of transformation. The church is called not

  74. to chase the wind fire or earthquakes, but stand attentively

  75. before the Lord and listen with accompanied obedience. Amen, beloved,

  76. let's take our memory verse for today, and we take

  77. it from Second Corinthians eleven, verse three. But I fear

  78. less by any means, as a serpent beguid ive through

  79. his subtilty, So your minds should be corrupted from the

  80. simplicity that is in Christ.

  81. Amen, let us pray, Father, well, thank you for speaking

  82. to us through your word.

  83. Today.

  84. We ask for grace to be doers of your word

  85. and not hear us.

  86. Only.

  87. Let the truth we have heard about the simplicity of

  88. the supernatural bear fruits in our lives and bring glory

  89. to your name.

  90. In Jesus's name, With great amen.

  91. God bless you for joining today's episode of our Morning
