1. A SuperNatural Life
John 17:16
16) They are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world.
I. SupernaturalSuperiority-Ps18
A. Praise- Ps 18:3
Ps 18:3
3) I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised:
so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
In the face of enemies David praises God, not whines
about the opposition.
B. Purging- Ps 18:23
Ps 18:23
23) I was also upright before him, and I kept myself
from mine iniquity.
The fiercest enemy is the one within.
Ps 18:26

2. 26) With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure;
and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself
froward.
II. SupernaturalSupplies – Ps 18:35
Tools are only needed if you intend to change something.
A. A QualityProduct- Ps 18:35
Nothing is more frustrating than to have a tool break in the
middle of a job.
Ps 18:35
35) Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:
and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness
hath made me great.
Simply having ownership of the shield does not give
protection; the shield must be used, THAT IS YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY.
B. A ProvenProduct- Ps 91:4
Ps 91:4

3. 4) He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his
wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield
and buckler.
God’s word is the unchanging truth, regardless of the ever-
changing opinions and circumstances of life.
Eph 6:16
16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith
ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the
wicked.
If just knowing the facts of God’s truth was enough there
would be no need for faith.
There will be challenges to what God declares as fact and
what your human reason understands as truth;
Faith is choosing to believe God is right, and all else is a
mirage.
III. SupernaturalConsistency-Ps 27:6
Ps 27:6
6) And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine
enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his

4. tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing
praises unto the LORD.
Sacrifice and Joy are not two words that are normally
partners.
When joy comes naturally it is no sacrifice. The Supernatural life
requires living above “natural” instinct.
1Cor 4:1-2
1) Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of
Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2) Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be
found faithful.
Ps 71:3
3) Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may
continually resort: thou hast given commandment to
save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
Ps 71:6
6) By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art
he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise
shall be continually of thee.
Ps 71:14

5. 14) But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee
more and more.
IV. Exampleof Supernatural Elevation-Ps77
Ps 77:1-3
1) I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my
voice; and he gave ear unto me.
2) In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore
ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be
comforted.
3) I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained,
and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
A. A Natural Response- Ps 77:4-9
Ps 77:4-9
4) Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I
cannot speak.
5) I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient
times.
6) I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune
with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7) Will the Lord cast off for ever? and
will he be favourable no more?

6. 8) Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
doth his promise fail for evermore?
9) Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
B. A Supernatural Choice- Ps 77:10-20
Ps 77:10-20
10) And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember
the years of the right hand of the most High.
11) I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will
remember thy wonders of old.
12) I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy
doings.
13) Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a
God as our God?
14) Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast
declared thy strength among the people.
15) Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the
sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16) The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they
were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
17) The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a
sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

7. 18) The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the
lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and
shook.
19) Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters,
and thy footsteps are not known.
20) Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of
Moses and Aaron.
1) Changed Speech- Ps 78:1
Ps 78:1
1) Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to
the words of my mouth.
2) Changed Viewpoint- Ps 79:1
Ps 79:1
1) O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy
holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on
heaps.
3) Changed Salutation- Ps 80:1
Ps 80:1
1) Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest
Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the
cherubims, shine forth.

8. 4) A Change in Latitude made a Change in Attitude- Ps 81:1
Ps 81:1
1) Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful
noise unto the God of Jacob.
Still no deliverance from Ch. 77 but, you wouldn’t know it by
the way he is acting.
5) A Change in Control- Ps 82:1
Ps 82:1
1) God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he
judgeth among the gods.
6) A Change of Indictment- Ps 83:1-2
Ps 83:1-2
1) Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and
be not still, O God.
2) For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that
hate thee have lifted up the head.
(the personal pronouns of 77:1-6 are gone)
7) A Change in Desires- Ps 84:1-2
Ps 84:1-2
1) How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

9. 2) My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of
the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living
God.
8) After eight chapters the deliverance he sought in chapter 77 is
finally given- Ps 85:1-2
Ps 85:1-2
1) LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou
hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2) Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou
hast covered all their sin. Selah.
