SERVING THE COLORADO BODY OF CHRIST

Supernatural Know How

By Rev. Alvin Simpkins

The Bible says in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”, I like to call it supernatural KNOW HOW. Supernatural KNOW HOW is what separates those who perform and deliver results from those who don’t. It is the hallmark of people who know what they are doing, and it is lacking in those who have no clue about how to reach success.


Supernatural KNOW HOW is divine instincts, supernatural judgment and the ability to see the invisible and do the impossible. It comes from year by year of walking with the Lord. It is the realization and acknowledgement of what you have learned from life’s mistakes. It is the deep knowledge that comes from God teaching you how to do something beyond your reach.

KNOW HOW is the ability to rethink, readjust and reposition your family and your life to a changing landscape. KNOW HOW is the supernatural observational powers that comes from God and is beyond the average person’s thinking. KNOW HOW is the sixth sense about how to do things. Supernatural KNOW HOW is God given talents and abilities executed to the highest level of development.

Supernatural KNOW HOW is the key to 21st century success as Christians in our families, in our careers and in our lives. Many women can catch a man, but they don’t KNOW HOW to keep that man. Many men can catch a woman but they don’t KNOW HOW to keep that woman. Many people know how to have a family but don’t know how to raise a family. Many people know about God…but don’t know how to serve God.

You must have supernatural KNOW HOW in your family relationships. You must KNOW HOW to raise your children and launch them into their future. You must KNOW HOW to move your career forward. Everyday we must pray for supernatural KNOW HOW.

We need parents who know what they are doing today. The family is ever changing in this fast paced society. Change is ever present when it comes to the family. What used to work may not work anymore.

You have to know your family, what makes them tick… what makes them happy… what make them sad. There are not only huge opportunities that await families today, but also great pitfalls that can swallow up whole families and future generations. God has created you to have success!

The scripture says “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” It is not always the devil that destroys us. Sometimes it is our lack of knowing what to do. It is one of the greatest strategies that the enemy uses against families and God’s people.

Sometimes we just don’t KNOW HOW. Businesses are destroyed because the owners don’t KNOW HOW to make it work. Businesses fold because owners don’t KNOW HOW to motivate their employees.

Execution “getting things done” starts with being determined to get things done right, the first time. Swift changes and swift progression demands KNOWING HOW to get things done.
This is not the time to be stuck in a cycle of ignorance. Ignorance is a curse that the enemy uses against your commitment to be successful. You must KNOW HOW to move your life and your family forward. We must take effective action now.

Now is the time to make real the possibilities of your God-given gifts and abilities. Now is the time to go after the knowledge you need to have success in every area of your life. Now is the time to say no to failure and yes to success. Now is the time to call upon the help of the Holy Spirit to guide your life.
