The Holy Spirit is actively reshaping every sphere of influence, and I've witnessed this truth in a deeply personal way. Everywhere I turn, I see God's presence and power extending His Kingdom in remarkable ways. Recently, my family and I walked through an extraordinary journey that highlighted God's goodness and provision — and changed how I see the marketplace forever.
The Story
My wife, Michelle, needed surgery to remove benign tumors from her reproductive organs. We were referred to a renowned surgeon in Colorado Springs. Michelle's first appointment coincided with my ministry trip to India.
After the appointment, Michelle called me — her voice filled with awe. She described meeting the kindest doctor she had ever encountered, who prayed for her at the end of their meeting. Dr. Hedges is a Spirit-filled believer who looks at her profession as an assignment from God. The love of God emanates through her like a firefly — she lights up. Her joy is contagious.
On the day of surgery, the surgeon and her entire team entered the room and said: "Okay, everyone. It's now time to pray for our patient." The entire surgical team bowed their heads and prayed for Michelle, for our family, and for the success of the surgery. The presence of the Lord filled the room.
"I'm sorry, give me a minute. I have to excuse myself
and go get a hold of my emotions."
— A surgical nurse, moved to tears by the presence of God in the room.
The surgery, initially expected to last three hours, extended to seven due to complications. Afterward, the surgeon spent 30 minutes with me explaining the details and praying with us. Throughout the first week of recovery, she was available to Michelle via text and phone — showing extraordinary care.
What surgeon does that? Only someone operating from the Father's heart.
Naturally Supernatural — What This Looks Like
Dr. Hedges didn't perform miracles in some supernatural sense. She centered herself on God, surrendered to His will, and let her team witness what it means to have God as the foundation. She was naturally supernatural — an excellent doctor who acknowledged God in all her ways.
This experience has profoundly changed my view of every professional sphere. The Holy Spirit is not restricted to church services and prayer meetings. He is present in operating rooms, boardrooms, construction sites, and classrooms — wherever His sons and daughters show up and carry His presence.
If you want to cultivate that kind of sensitivity — to hear God's voice in your own sphere and carry His presence into everyday professional interactions — the Hearing God's Voice Bundle is where I'd encourage you to begin. The Hearing God's Voice Bundle includes teaching, prayers, and a personal session to help you hear God more clearly in your specific sphere. (https://coreign.net/hearing-gods-voice)
The Invitation for Every Marketplace Professional
God is better than we think
— so it's time to change the way we think. (Bill Johnson)
God never wastes a trial or a story. He uses every circumstance to display His goodness through human relationships. Your profession — your operating room, your boardroom, your classroom — is your assignment. And the question is not whether God is present there. The question is whether you are positioned to recognize and release His presence when He shows up.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be "naturally supernatural" in the marketplace?
To be naturally supernatural means operating in your professional role with such consistent proximity to God that His presence flows through you as a natural expression of who you are — not a performance or a program. It's the difference between someone who tries to "do spiritual things" at work and someone who has simply become so full of God that He overflows into every interaction.
How can I carry God's presence into my professional environment without being inappropriate or imposing?
Start by cultivating your own interior life — your personal prayer and communion with God. As you deepen your relationship with Him, His presence in you becomes something people sense before you say a word. You'll find that people are drawn to ask questions, share struggles, and receive from you naturally. You don't need a program — you need proximity to God.
Is it okay to pray with clients or patients in a professional setting?
Context and wisdom matter. Dr. Hedges didn't pray with every patient in every setting — she followed the leading of the Holy Spirit in a context where it was appropriate and welcome. The key is sensitivity: being attuned to what God is doing in a moment, and responding to it with grace. This kind of discernment comes from consistently cultivating a listening relationship with the Holy Spirit.
