Obviously then the supernatural is not always through obedience.
What is interesting about these characters described by Jesus is they do these miraculous and supernatural things in His Name. Yet they are workers of iniquity (lawlessness). What is also interesting is they CLAIM to be doing these supernatural things, but are they really? Or is that just what they believe? The text seems to indicate they actually believe they have done miraculous and wonderful works, so apparently *something* was going on that to them appeared miraculous and supernatural.
But in any event, they are shown the door, because even though they profess to be Christians and that Jesus is their Lord it is only lip service, they do not actually obey Him, they are practitioners of lawlessness. A lot of strange things happen in life, weird stuff goes on all the time. But one thing we can be sure of, the only ones entering into Life are those who actually obey God's commandments.
