When describing the power of God I personally do not use the word supernatural. In the occult that word is used constantly to describe all kinds of manifestations and none of them are from God. God's power is miraculous, meaning coming from God alone.

Um, I’m confused. How did the word “supernatural” come up? (Except by you raising it, while saying you don’t.)

Seriously, I’m confused by your post.

And that should be normal because we serve a supernatural God that doesn't need circumstances to line up for people to see his goodness, but right where you are right now.

Sorry piytar, you are right. I think I meant to post to Frank Broom this comment and somehow I goofed and it went to you. I know that my comment may seem a bit petty, but when you have been heavily involved in the occult like I was at one point in my life you are more sensitive to any verbiage that reflects the occult heavily, used in reference to The LORD.

I know that many people use the term "supernatural" when referring to The LORD's special intervention into our earthly realm, but for me using the term to refer to The LORD's power is a bit like the sound of fingernails run over a chalkboard. It's a personal thing with me, I guess. But I do believe that God's intervention in miraculous ways in our lives goes way, way beyond the "supernatural", and comes from the highest heaven, where He resides. The word "supernatural" can refer to any manifestation from the realm of spirits which rule over the atmosphere of earth. The Bible uses the terms miracles, signs and wonders to refer to God's power manifested outside of the normal laws of nature.
