This is another aspect from the focus of our study, for us to know the necessity of New birth for performing supernatural.

It is good because before anyone can break any ground such must have experienced self(flesh) brokenness. In John 3:2, Nicodemus said "Rabbi we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him". From Nicodemus experience and thought, he knew that Jesus is a teacher due to all the teachings he have had from him(Jesus) during the day, and Jesus is performing miraculous signs, that is God has transposed Jesus from the level of teaching alone to the realm of performing supernatural works. Jesus now answers him(Nicodemus) "I tell you the truth no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again"(John 3:3). From the two verses, that is verse 2 and 3 , it's seen as if it doesn't correspond to each other. Nicodemus said all what you are doing no one can do it except God is with such person and Jesus replied no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. The scripture say "He(God) knows the end from the beginning". Jesus knew where Nicodemus will end to. And from all the conversation of Jesus, emphasis is been laid more on "Born again" which means New birth, also we can call it incubation, discipline, a place of forming, preparation. Etc.
At this juncture, any christian that has not experienced New birth; such cannot operate in supernatural realm. If we did not forget the place where the disciples are first called Christian is because they are performing supernatural works. E.W. Kenyon said "If we remove supernatural from Christianity, it will automatically change to mere religion". That is supernatural minus Christianity is equal to Religion. There are some people that we need to check, those that released themselves for proper New birth, incubation and discipline in order for God to use them to perform many wondrous works in their time.
Moses: He that released what is serving as his daily need(rod, staff) for God to make use of it.(Exodus 4:1-4). And this happened because Moses is the one who has been destined to bring Isrealites out from slavery land.
Peter: This is one of the disciples of Jesus Christ that released all what he had as a fisher and followed Jesus and since then; his name, occupation changed. " I will make you fishers of men"(Matthew 4:19). This made him have deeper relationship with Jesus.
Now why does this New birth important for us?
1. For continuous renewal inwardly. (2cor 4:16)
2. There will be releasing of power. (John 1:12)
3. We will be led by Holy spirit always. (Romans 8:14)
4. We will have our own portion in his kingdom. (John 3:3-8)
New birth brings new life
