Developing a Supernatural Lifestyle: A Practical Guide to a Life of Signs, Wonders, and Miracles

This is one of the most extraordinary books I've ever read. I like Kris Vallotton a lot: I've heard him preach on iBethel.tv and I've read his other books. I've given them as gifts. I like the way he writes. But this book? It's another level altogether. The emphasis of the book really is LIFESTYLE. It suggests a transformation so profound: an inclination toward the supernatural -- an open stance toward signs and wonders -- as an everyday part of the normal Christian life. He doesn't do it as a cookbook ("Do this! Do that! You'll get a miracle..."), but as an attitude adjustment, a shift in awareness and expectation. And every shift that he suggests emerges out of scripture. Not just this verse or that taken out of context -- on the contrary! The book shows how a life saturated with God's miracles has been God's plan for His people all along. It's a lovely book. It will build up your faith. It will heighten your expectation. It will show you possibilities. It'll rock your boat and blow up your cage. Ka-Boom!

This book creates. It changes lives. After reading this, it is as if the murkey glasses that you saw life with have been exchanged for the Truth, life giving vision. It is well written and pulls at something deep inside of you to live up to God's standards of life.

"Religion is what's left after Spirit has left the building." I'm not sure if that's an exact quote from Bono, but it sums up what becomes of a church that has lost the heartbeat of a Living Christ and casts the works of the Father though His Son into the dustbin of history. I love God despite being raised in a culture of science-based skepticism, but it was hard because I used to be bored silly in church. Church, not God, was irrelevant. That's before I caught the fire. Through grace, I stumbled across it quite by accident. If you seek the exciting world of present day miracles that take place in the presence of passionate believers -- healing, deliverances, signs that make you wonder - then books, CD's, DVD's by pastors Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton of the Bethel Church in Redding, CA, are a terrific gateway. Check out their podcasts. Johnson and Vallotton are two stand-out voices that bring the `Wow' factor back into spiritual experience: Nothing but God can be at cause for the marvels they recount in story after story. They declare Christ is the healer and that faith belongs to any and all willing to step out in boldness and command infirmity to depart. Those who do are claiming their rightful inheritance to the Kingdom of Heaven as royal sons and daughters created in the likeness and image of God. Johnson is a scion of a family of pastors; he's been church-mouse poor and is now sought as an internationally renowned speaker. In contrast, Vallotton suffered many adversities in his path to Christ, operated a gas station, then several auto parts stores. He tells what Christianity is like from the gritty side of life, and in person, he's quite funny. One of Vallotton's stories I like best, told in Supernatural Ways of Royalty co-authored with Johnson, is how he and his wife prayed one night week for a year on the streets of a small, troubled town - rain, shine or snow - to completely change its character. He tells how the enemy departed unseen one dark evening with bloodcurdling screams from an abandoned field. During this period, his family adopted a teen left virtually homeless by addict parents. To me, these are powerful demonstrations of faith in action and answered prayer. These two men, among other giants of faith, stand at the forefront of an emerging wave of Spirit-filled Christianity. Revivalism has occurred many times before, but this generation is working hard to see that the floodtide does not ebb, but changes the world. And indeed, it is becoming the fastest growing sector of believers around the globe. Read anything, everything you can get your hands on that these guys write. Be inspired. Better still, find a Spirit-filled church and experience worship alive with His presence. Drink, soak, and rediscover your relationship with the Lord. Whether dry and thirsty in a church that no longer feeds your soul or burdened with a life of shame and failure, come. Come. Rejoice. Through

This is a supernatural book,and will inspire you to go after God on a new level. This author teaches us how to live the way we should be living!

Another great book by Mr. Vallotton. This book took me by storm! There is so much to learn about the supernatural. It mentions that not much takes place in the spirit realm without our taking some risks. It also brought to light that when we ask the Holy Spirit into our hearts that our body becomes home to two spirits - I'd never thought of it that way before. This book has great knowledge to share & teach!
