Supernatural Awareness

The realm of the supernatural is not far from us. God has placed eternity in our hearts and often lays the extraordinary right before our eyes, hidden in plain sight. It begins in the stillness of an awakened heart. Focus is often the key to encounter; undivided attention creates the space where intimacy with God unfolds.

Samuel, Moses, and Paul each stepped into divine intimacy through a pivotal moment of undivided attention. Samuel was lying down when the Lord called him by name. At first, he did not understand the voice. But when Eli guided him, his response “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening” became his entry into hearing the voice of God.
Moses, far from the crowds and alone in the wilderness, saw a bush burning without being consumed. This subtle, strange sight drew his focus. He said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight.” It was that turning aside, the choice to pause and observe that opened the door for God to speak to him directly.
Paul, travelling on the road to Damascus, was suddenly enveloped by a light from heaven. He fell to the ground and heard a voice. Though others heard a sound, the conversation was uniquely directed to Paul. This moment changed everything. The intensity of the encounter wasn’t merely in what was seen or heard but in how it captured Paul’s attention and shifted his trajectory entirely.
Each of these men heard their name. That detail is not incidental; it speaks to the personal nature of God’s invitation. He calls us individually, and in that call is the beginning of intimacy. The conditions surrounding their moments differed: Samuel in rest, Moses in solitude, Paul in motion. But in all, their attention was captured, and that created the opening for encounter.

God often places the unusual before us; hidden in plain sight. A dream, a subtle prompting, a scripture that burns quietly in the heart. These are divine signals for the curious. The supernatural realm is not far from us; it is kept within reach like treasure, placed for those who have eyes to see.
God whispers when we are quiet. He reveals when we are ready to turn aside. He calls when He sees our hearts are awake. The invitation to divine intimacy is not earned through status or striving; it begins with a posture of openness, curiosity, and response.
To walk in the supernatural is to live attentive. It is to treat every divine nudge as precious. The burning bush may look ordinary to others. Paul’s fall may seem like coincidence to the crowd. But when our hearts are awake, we know: this is God drawing near.

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God…because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14

So let us be people who turn aside. Who say, “Speak, Lord.” Who pause to consider the burning bush. Who listen when our name is called. For that is how the realm of glory opens; through attention made holy.

So what draws us into the realm of the Spirit today? Not just hunger, but attention. Not just desire, but the pause to respond when God calls, through a scripture that grips you, a moment of stillness that won’t let go, a nudge in prayer that feels more weighty than usual. These are how divine realms open. These are how intimacy begins.

Have you noticed a moment lately that nudged your spirit, yet you brushed it off? That could be your burning bush.

Moses didn’t begin his journey with God speaking mouth to mouth. His first divine encounter was through a bush that burned but was not consumed—a sign. A similtude. A picture pregnant with meaning. God drew him through wonder before speaking with clarity. From there, the encounters multiplied: a rod becoming a serpent, a hand turning leprous and back again, water turned to blood. These were not just miracles; they were divine messages wrapped in symbols. That is God speaking in the language of signs.

But years later, hear what God Himself says about Moses:

“If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold…” Numbers 12:6–8.

God still speaks through signs, through impressions, through words. But His desire is to draw us deeper: from the outer courts of occasional awareness into the holy place of sustained fellowship.

Like Samuel, we learn to say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”
Like Moses, we begin with wonder and move into worship. And like Paul, we may be stopped in our tracks so we can start a new walk.

God calls. The question is: Will we turn aside?
Will we give Him our attention long enough for Him to give us His heart?

Don’t wait for the loud. Pay attention to the still.
He may begin with a sign, but He is always leading to intimacy.
