Authority Over The Physical World
Falling into Grass
As I went over the cliff and started falling I cried out, “Jesus, help me!” Suddenly, there he was in the sky. With a shrug of his shoulders he said, “It’s your dream you change it.” I thought, “This is kind of a strange answer, but if you say so I’ll do it.” So I commanded the ground to be made up of 50 feet of lush thick blades of grass. As I got close to the ground I could see the grass below – long thick lush and deep blades of grass. Down I went into grass plunging through the strips of green stuff – I could feel them brushing against me as they cushioned my fall and I came to a stop. I looked up and Jesus was just looking at me giving me one of those knowing looks as I have experienced several times before. Without speaking he communicates his pleasure, his love, and his teaching – I have given YOU authority, use it.
The Water Car
Driving along a road in a large dark blue Chevy suburban I noticed that the land around me became very flat and green with grass. My passenger and I continued driving along at about 40-45 mph. I looked off to my left and noticed a large body of water like a lake. I was enjoying the view of the land and water as I continued driving. As I looked at the water to my left, it was getting closer and closer to the road. It was very smooth, still, flat water that was level with the grass and the road. Suddenly at 45mph I looked straight ahead and the road just disappeared into the water. In an instant we drove right out onto the water and with no time to react I stuck my head out of the window and yelled, “The water is like pavement to me!” We drove straight ahead for about thirty seconds and as I looked down out of the window at my tires I could see that we were driving along on top of the water now getting quite distant from the shore. I decided to head back and made a large gradual turn to the right sweeping around 180 degrees and headed back toward the shore. As we came to the shore we simply drove right onto the ground and I pulled the car to the right and came to a stop. There to our right was another car which had sunk into the water right next to the shore. A blond mom and her kids were getting out and were chest deep in the water as they struggled to walk out. They looked amazed at us and yelled out, “How did you do that!” I said, “By the power of the Lord Jesus Christ!” The mom replied, “Why couldn’t we do that, we’re Christians too?” I said nothing as an understanding came to me at that moment. I knew that they were not able to do that because they had never received the proper teaching about the authority of the believer, nor did they have faith to believe. They were average traditional Christians who believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord of their lives, but have never believed him for supernatural power in daily matters.
