Satan definitely has power, but it is only paranormal power and it is totally helpless compared to the supernatural powers of God. The supernatural power of God is never manifested to titillate the flesh or to win favor for God s ministers. One has only to study the life of Jesus and the history of the New Testament church to confirm the absolute absence of paranormal activity by the Holy Ghost. Not one time was there a display of strange happenings that would satisfy the appetite of curious seekers. For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
Supernatural powers are exactly what the word suggests.
All His acts are eternal acts. To even imagine God doing things of a paranormal nature is to completely miss His holy nature and eternal characteristics. There are events in the Bible where God did eternal things that men interpret like they were paranormal matters. When we try to interpret these acts of God s judgment or His method of dealing with an individual into a pattern for New Testament church life, we create an absolute theological mess. This kind of Biblical interpretation is at the heart of the Kenneth Hagin doctrines.
