As children of God, we’ve been invited into His supernatural process of creativity to reveal and reflect His glory in the world. Our lives are meant to be an overflow of His presence—an intersection point where heaven meets earth through us.

One of the most beautiful ways we walk that out is by following Jesus’ example: taking what’s natural, speaking life to it through the power of the Holy Spirit, and watching God transform it into a supernatural expression of His glory (John 14:12, Romans 8:11).

God modeled this from the beginning. He could’ve spoken humanity into existence with a word—just like He did the sun, moon, and stars. But He didn’t. He chose to stoop down, take the dirt of the earth, form it with His hands, and breathe His very life into it (Genesis 2:7). That wasn’t just about creating man—it was about modeling a divine process. He wanted us to see that transformation often comes when heaven touches earth through willing hands.

Of course, we know in the Kingdom we have authority to speak things into being. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that “life and death are in the power of the tongue,” and Romans 4:17 declares that we can call those things which do not exist as though they did. When we pray in faith and align our words with God’s will, heaven responds.

But there’s another dimension of supernatural living I want to highlight—one that’s hands-on and participatory. When Jesus performed His first miracle at the wedding in Cana, it wasn’t flashy or self-promoting. He wasn’t trying to make a name for Himself. He was moved by compassion and love for His mother. Quietly and intentionally, He turned water into wine—not just any wine, but the best wine—because that’s what love does (John 2:1–11).

That act was simple yet profound: a moment of honor, love, and faith. He took something ordinary and transformed it for Kingdom purpose. And He did it without fanfare.

Later, when Jesus encountered the blind man, He didn’t just heal him with a word. He got His hands dirty—literally. He spit into the dust and formed mud. He took something of Himself and something from the earth, combining them in a supernatural process that restored sight (John 9:6–7). That wasn’t just a healing—it was a prophetic picture.

Jesus, the Living Word, blended heaven and earth in His own hands and released the power of the Kingdom. What was once dirt became destiny. Those weren’t just mudballs—they were miracles in the making.

That same pattern shows up all throughout Scripture. God places something in the hands of His people—a rod, a jar of oil, five loaves and two fish—and invites them to trust Him. Through obedience and faith, the natural becomes the setting for supernatural release (Exodus 14:16, 2 Kings 4:1–7, John 6:1–13).

Despite what religious ivory towers may teach, the supernatural life isn’t a thing of the past. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us (Romans 8:11). Jesus said we would do the works He did—and even greater (John 14:12). That’s not a metaphor. That’s a mandate.

Jesus came not only to redeem and restore us but to model how to operate supernaturally in the natural world. Not just by speaking things into existence, but by exercising dominion over the earth through faith, obedience, and creative partnership with the Father.

So let me ask you:
What mudballs has the Lord placed in your hands?
What ordinary thing could become extraordinary under the influence of your faith and His grace?

You weren’t placed in this world just to pray for change—you were born to release the Kingdom. God has already placed ideas, resources, relationships, and opportunities around you. Ask Him to show you how to use what you’ve got to bring Him glory and transform lives.

When heaven touches earth through you, miracles happen.
