The Supernatural God & His Supernatural People

Nov 2, 2025    Rev. Kevin C. Benton

This powerful message takes us deep into the heart of our spiritual identity by exploring the profound difference between bondage and freedom in Christ. Drawing from Galatians 4:28-31, we're reminded of the ancient story of Ishmael and Isaac—two sons representing two completely different ways of living. Ishmael, born through human effort and natural means, represents the life of slavery and limitation. Isaac, born through supernatural promise despite impossible circumstances, represents the miraculous freedom we inherit through Christ. The central revelation here is startling: many of us are living as spiritual slaves even though we've been set free. We've accepted salvation but continue operating with a slave mentality—bound by fear, doubt, financial stress, and the enemy's whispers. The truth is, when we became born again, we didn't just get a religious experience; we became children of the supernatural. God's super gets on our natural, making us supernatural people. This isn't about arrogance or mysticism—it's about recognizing that the same Holy Spirit who brought life to Sarah's dead womb lives inside us. We're heirs of God's riches through Christ, not beggars hoping for scraps. The challenge before us is to cast out the slave woman and her son from our thinking—to stop helping God through our fleshly efforts and instead walk in the freedom that's already been purchased. When we truly understand that God is for us, that His perfect love casts out fear, and that we belong to the lineage of promise, everything changes. We stop being wimps and whiners and start being the winners God created us to be.
