The Hyper God

Hyper / ( Greek: Huper)

Over; beyond; above, transcendental, exceeding, boundless, limitless and excessive, above normal; literally hitting a homerun beyond the fence.

Our English word for “hyper” is derived from the Greek word “huper” which Google and Strong’s define above.     


There are those today who will describe a Christian as being “hyper spiritual” or “hyper charismatic “, in an uncomplimentary manner.

Really, by saying that, these folks are ignorant of one of the most significant attributes of God. He indeed is a hyper or a huper God, bestowing all good things upon humanity in excessive, abundant, exceeding, limitless transcendental ways, in proportion to our obedience of Him.

 I understand these comments in the light of Christians which act “legalistically or attempt to please God by their fleshly mind”. At the same time we need to be careful that we use the term “hyper” in a fair and theologically correct manner. To be “hyper charismatic” is not a bad thing if indeed the believer is using the charismatic gifts of God in a transcendental, measureless, and exceedingly powerful fashion rightly by the Spirit of God. To be “hyper spiritual” is good thing if the believer is transcendentally and excessively manifesting  God’s Spirit, power and the glory. We need to speak as “rightly dividing” the word of truth.

Look with me at the following scriptures which describe some of the qualities of our magnificent and glorious “hyper” God.

Huperano; excessively and exceedingly above in distance, rank, and order.
