Summary of the video
Mike Bickle introduces a Charis Daily episode about walking in the supernatural power of God—specifically answering the disciples’ question, “What must we do to work the works of God?” He frames supernatural living as God’s nature (God is supernatural, not merely natural) and emphasizes that God wants believers to live above circumstances by seeing through God’s word.
1) The “work of God” is Jesus’ mission
Bickle explains that the work of God is clarified in Jesus’ own words from Luke 4:18–21. Jesus’ anointing is to:
- preach good news to the poor
- heal the brokenhearted
- proclaim deliverance to captives
- recover sight to the blind (including spiritual “first love” and purpose)
- set free those who are bruised
- announce God’s acceptable year (God making people acceptable to Him)
He stresses that this work is liberation and healing—not bringing sickness, depression, or spiritual bondage. If people suffer, it’s not God’s plan through His Spirit in the same way; God’s pattern is freedom through Christ.
2) Belief is not mental agreement—it’s settled commitment
Returning to John 6:28–29, Bickle highlights Jesus’ answer: “This is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom He sent.”
He argues that believing is a life-defining, no-“plan B” commitment to God’s word as reality—even when circumstances, doctors, finances, or others’ reports contradict it. True belief “bases the rest of life” on God’s truth, not on sight.
3) The word becomes the lens for daily life
He teaches that believers must turn their “eyes” to Jesus and to the word, so the word becomes the filter and authority that determines identity, purpose, and thoughts. He cites:
- Romans 10:17 — faith comes by hearing the word
- Psalm 119:105 — God’s word as a light/lamp
This produces practical supernatural expectations: believers act on belief. If you truly believe God’s power is real, you will take steps—praying, speaking faith, obeying—rather than remaining passive.
4) Example: trusting God in a difficult situation
He shares a personal story from when he and his wife were missionaries in Russia. They faced a financial shortage for renting a hall for a youth purity conference. They felt led by God to use reserved rent money to fund the conference.
Though it was stressful momentarily, they believed, gave, and later found the Lord provided back “plus so much more,” illustrating growth through trust.
5) “Partakers” of Jesus’ anointing
Bickle closes by reiterating that believers are not acting from their own goodness or power. They proclaim and live out Jesus’ anointing for themselves (applying Luke 4:18 in personal terms), becoming “agents” through whom God’s power manifests.
He describes how renewed minds enable faith to overcome limitations and past failures.
Ultimately, he encourages viewers to renew their minds so they can “work the works of God” by believing—resulting in supernatural freedom that the world is watching for.
6) Call to action (resources and prayer)
He promotes:
- a free booklet: “Introduction to how to become a water walker”
- sowing into the ministry’s international work
- access to prayer ministers available 24/7
