“YOU’VE GOT TO THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT THE SPIRIT REALM THAN YOU DO, IF YOU WANT TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT, LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, AND HAVE ENCOUNTERS IN THE SPIRIT, YOU’VE GOT TO DESIRE STRONGLY TO SEE IN THE SPIRIT, HEAR IN THE SPIRIT, AND EXPERIENCE IT’S REALITY”.

(John 4:19) The woman saith unto him, “Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 BUT THE HOUR COMES AND NOW IS, WHEN THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS SHALL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH: FOR THE FATHER SEEKETH SUCH TO WORSHIP HIM.
- GOD IS A SPIRIT AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
Do we really understand worship, child of God? We think that the louder we are, or the more we wave or clap our hands, jump or dance, the more real our worship is. All of these things may be a part of worship and praise at times, but then again, it may simply be flesh, and self, pleasing the flesh.

Even if these things are a part of real worship, they are not the things we should focus on. First of all, and I walk softly and reverently here. When we enter into worship Let us look up and focus our attention on the great Father of us all in deep humility, respect, and with the genuine fear of God.

You may say, “We do not need to fear God, and besides, that’s Old Testament. Well, the New Testament also commands us to ‘FEAR GOD’, not just respect Him, which of course we should do, also.
(Mt 10:28) “And do not fear those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell”.
READ: WHY NOT SPEAK IN TONGUES
If we do not worship God in the ‘FEAR OF THE LORD’, we could come dangerously close to what the priests of the ‘Old Testament’ faced if they did not properly prepare themselves to come into the Holy of Holies, and then with the blood of the sacrificial lamb. Our sacrificial Lamb is Jesus and His blood.

If the priests entered the Holy of Holies unprepared, they would be struck dead. Today too many Christians are attempting to worship God, frivolously, carelessly like an old pal, or a common man. 0
His holiness is so pure, so righteous, that we must approach Him with reverence and cautious hearts. Only as we truly fear God, can we properly love Him. Because without the fear of God, we are incapable of departing from evil.

Now Worshiping God in spirit and in truth lifts our spirit, causes us to mount up with wings as eagles, brings great joy, and we find ourselves loving Him like never before, with all our heart, soul, strength and mind.
The spirit realm is where all the eternal resources and un-created intangibles are located.
These intangibles are such things as love, peace, joy, grace, mercy, healing, the gifts, the fruit of the Spirit and encounters with angels, and wonderful, beautiful and authoritative heavenly places where we sit with Jesus.
It is in these heavenly places that he graciously allows us to help him make heavenly and earthly decisions with powerful and redemptive results.

(Rom. 14:17) “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost”.
The Kingdom of God is His kingdom which has been of old from the beginning of His first loyal subjects, the very angels of God which serve Him, and worship Him always.
God’s kingdom was enlarged, always increasing when He created mankind in His likeness and image. So the Kingdom of God includes the Kingdom of Heaven, and all holy beings, and redeemed humanity.
So, the Kingdom of God is eternal and the Kingdom of God will be physically and naturally set up beginning with the Millennial Reign of Christ on earth for a thousand years.
But, what is so powerful and wonderful is that the Kingdom of God ‘IS WITHIN’. The Kingdom of God is established within our own hearts and spirits. (Romans 14:17) “The kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost”.
When we were born-again we entered the Kingdom of God. It was a threshold experience. The Kingdom of God was first established in the Spirit Realm.
The Spirit Realm is the ‘realm of true reality’. Everything came out of the Spirit Realm. God exists and always has existed in the Spirit Realm. John 4:23-24 Jesus said to the Samaritan woman, “The hour comes and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. For the Father seeks such to worship Him. GOD IS A SPIRIT, AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
WHEN YOU RECEIVED CHRIST YOU WERE SAVED, BUT YOU WEREN’T COMPLETE YET. GOD TELLS HIS CHILDREN TO ALSO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Just as Salvation is a threshold experience and a doorway into God’s kingdom, The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a threshold experience into the ‘SUPERNATURAL’, or ‘SPIRIT REALM’.
The initial physical evidence of the Holy Spirit is Speaking in Tongues, and tongues (languages you’ve never learned), are supernaturally given to Believers).
The Nine Gifts of the Holy Spirit are supernatural, and operate out of the Spirit Realm of God’s Kingdom, and are manifested in the natural realm (and also in the Spirit Realm).
Angels operate in the Spirit Realm, but effect the natural realm, when they protect your family, and keep you from getting into a car accident.
My wife and I were in Tennessee going south to be ready to preach in another area. It was raining and it was night. My wife was driving and I was asleep in the back of the car.
It was a four lane hi-way with only a painted dividing line between the two sides. The car traveling in the same direction as we were was unknowingly pushing us over the dividing line into on-coming traffic. There was a car approaching and no-way to escape getting hit.
My wife had only time to cry out the Name of Jesus, and got the shock of her life. Our car and the other car driving the same direction was moved over at the same time back on to our proper lanes.
My wife shouted, “Honey, did you see that? Well, needless to say, she woke me up with a start, and I said, “What, what happened”. She told me we just had a miracle.
She said, “I know that our Angels were protecting us and saving us from a front on collision, but I wonder what the driver of the other car thought had just happened, because his car also was moved over to let us get back into our lane.
Our Angels operating from the ‘spirit realm’ were not seen. They were invisible, but the mighty power and skill they had in moving two vehicles over traveling at about 60 miles per hour, without any skidding of any kind, and we continued our driving without having to change any thing or do anything different than just keep steering our cars. PRAISE GOD FOR HIS ANGELS. They operated from the spirit realm, but had perfect control over the natural realm.
I JUST WANT TO PRAISE GOD. I’M SURE YOU TOO HAVE HAD A SIMILAR SITUATION.
(Psalm 91:11) “For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways, they shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone”.
