First and foremost, this book is dedicated to the ultimate friend anyone could ever have, Jesus Christ. I also dedicate this book to the faithful Holy Spirit, who guided me through the whole process.

This book would not have been written if my husband of 39 years, Norman Krisle, had not been a constant encourager to me until his death in 1999. He totally believed in me!

I also dedicate this book to my son, Kirk, and daughter, Kim, who love Jesus Christ and who are both so loving and faithful. When their dad died, they dropped everything and came to work with me to keep the ministry and me going forward. Through them I have four precious teenage granddaughters who love Jesus, are really tight with Grandma and are engaging with me in Kingdom work. All my immediate family have faithfully believed in me and walked through the good and hard times that come because of the call. They encourage me as the Lord enables me to walk in love and power and to teach others to worship Jesus and walk a victorious life in Him.

This book is furthermore dedicated to all who follow Christ because of this testimony. That includes Thomas, my husband of latter years, Gods gracious gift to me, who now upholds me in prayer, friendship and comfort. Together we will complete the race set before us to the praise and glory of our Savior and Lord.

Come, follow me, Jesus said, and I will make you fishers of men.

Matthew 4:19

When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, Will you give me a drink? (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

The Samaritan woman said to him, You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink? (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered her, If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.

Sir, the woman said, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?

Jesus answered, Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

John 4:714

CONTENTS

N ot many people possess the ability to make supernatural things practical and understandable. Many spiritual leaders, in fact, do just the opposite; they make the supernatural realm of the Holy Spirit seem so ethereal that the average Christian cannot understand it, let alone operate in it. But Jean Krisle Blasi has given us a manual on how to be naturally supernatural.
