INTRODUCTION:
Speed is a powerful advantage in life and destiny. Natural speed is good, but supernatural speed is far greater — it enables a person to accomplish in moments what others take years to achieve. Supernatural speed is the divine empowerment that causes accelerated progress beyond human limitations.
Throughout the Scriptures, we see that whenever God's hand came upon His people, there was a remarkable surge of progress and advancement. Elijah outran horses, Philip was supernaturally transported, and the disciples reached the shore immediately. These are examples of what happens when the supernatural hand of God moves upon a person.
In this study, we shall examine the meaning of supernatural speed, the conditions for accessing it, and the manifestations that follow. When you access supernatural speed, you will overtake limitations and arrive at destiny ahead of time!
1. UNDERSTANDING SUPERNATURAL SPEED
Supernatural speed is God's empowerment for accelerated movement and accomplishment.
a) It Is Progress by Divine Assistance
God’s hand propels a person faster than natural effort (1 Kings 18:46).
b) It Defies Natural Limitations
Barriers and protocols are broken (Isaiah 45:2).
c) It Is a Covenant Provision
God has promised speed to His people (Amos 9:13).
d) It Comes by the Spirit’s Power
The Holy Spirit enables extraordinary results (Zechariah 4:6).
Biblical Example: Philip was supernaturally transported by the Spirit (Acts 8:39-40).
2. CONDITIONS FOR ACCESSING SUPERNATURAL SPEED
There are keys that position believers to enjoy supernatural speed.
a) Total Dependence on God
Trusting in God’s ability and not in the arm of flesh (Proverbs 3:5-6).
b) Alignment with Divine Timing
Moving according to God’s instruction and season (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
c) Obedience to Divine Instructions
Swift obedience brings supernatural interventions (Deuteronomy 28:1).
d) Persistent Prayer and Faith
Prayer and faith create openings for divine speed (Luke 18:1).
Biblical Example: David inquired from God before pursuing and overtaking the Amalekites (1 Samuel 30:8).
3. BARRIERS TO SUPERNATURAL SPEED
Certain things can hinder divine acceleration.
a) Disobedience and Rebellion
Disobedience slows divine interventions (1 Samuel 15:22-23).
b) Fear and Doubt
Fear paralyses movement and blocks faith (Matthew 14:30-31).
c) Sin and Iniquity
Sin disconnects a person from divine help (Isaiah 59:1-2).
d) Carnal Mindset
Thinking in human terms only limits expectations (Romans 8:6-7).
Biblical Example: The Israelites delayed their journey because of unbelief and rebellion (Hebrews 3:17-19).
4. MANIFESTATIONS OF SUPERNATURAL SPEED
When supernatural speed is at work, certain results are evident.
a) Overtaking Those Ahead
Supernatural empowerment causes one to overtake competitors (1 Kings 18:46).
b) Swift Recovery and Restoration
What was lost is quickly recovered (Joel 2:25-26).
c) Achievement Without Struggle
Results come faster and easier (Psalm 127:1-2).
d) Fulfilling Destiny Ahead of Time
Life’s journey becomes faster and more productive (John 6:21).
Biblical Example: Jesus’ disciples immediately reached their destination after inviting Him into the boat (John 6:21).
5. PRAYERS FOR SUPERNATURAL SPEED
Prayers can provoke supernatural interventions for speed.
a) Prayer for Divine Hand
Asking for God’s mighty hand to rest upon you (1 Kings 18:46).
b) Prayer for Open Doors
Doors of progress and promotion must open (Revelation 3:8).
c) Prayer Against Delays
Breaking every spirit of stagnation (Daniel 10:12-13).
d) Prayer for Angelic Assistance
God sends angels to assist the saints (Hebrews 1:14).
Biblical Example: Daniel's prayers attracted angelic interventions that broke delay (Daniel 10:10-14).
CONCLUSION:
Supernatural speed is available for every child of God who desires it and meets the conditions for accessing it. It is not just for personal gain but for the fulfilment of divine purpose. When God’s hand rests upon you, you will not crawl through life; you will run and overtake.
