So many Christian’s spiritual eyes have never been opened since the day they were born-again. They are saved, they’re living holy lives, but they’re blind to actual sights and sounds in the real spirit world. My prayer is to see and hear more and more of what God wants me to see and hear. Are you hungry enough to pray that prayer also?
So, now let’s walk together and see and hear what’s really out there. Let’s see, if even just a glimpse, and let’s hear even just a word or phrase of what’s being said in the unhearable, inaudible realm of spirit.
First let’s understand that the natural world was created from and came out of the spiritual world, or spirit realm. You may remember the scripture (I Cor. 15:46) that says, “Howbeit, that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural, and afterward that which is spiritual, but that has nothing to do with our subject here. It’s talking about the first Adam which was natural and became a living soul, and the second Adam (Christ), who came to save us out of the spirit realm.
God who ‘ALWAYS EXISTED’ is not of this natural world, but created the natural world, and He Himself is not a natural being, but is a spirit being. John 4:24 “God is a ‘spirit’, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
As we walk together in the spirit realm, we look back to the very beginning and what do we see? We see nothing at all because there is nothing to see. Just dark empty space, space that goes on and on forever and ever. But, look again. Although we see nothing created, we do see someone, and it is the Amighty, all-powerful Creator God.
We seem to know innately and understand that time is actually a creation of God, because time doesn’t exist as we know it in the spirit realm. Many who have been caught up into heaven and have come back after 5 minutes, said, that it was like they were in heaven for 5 days.
We seem to just understand (because we are now observing while in that realm) that time becomes elastic and stretches and contracts according to the will of our heavenly Father. And it really boggles our minds when the truth of eternity breaks through to us. GOD DOESN’T COME OUT OF ETERNITY OR LIVE IN ETERNITY, BUT ETERNITY COMES OUT OF (AND IS) BECAUSE OF GOD. Don’t try to figure that out, because our finite minds are not capable of that.
(Psalm 90:4) “A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night”
(2 Peter 3:8) “But do not forget this one thing, Dear Friends: With the Lord a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day”.

Remember now, we’re in the ‘spirit realm’ and no one can see us as we stroll down the sidewalk. We are born-again believers who rejoice greatly over our so great salvation. At will (God’s permission), we look back and see Adam and Eve before the fall enjoying all the pristine glory of this natural-spiritual paradise and created to live forever and never die, if they simply would avoid the Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil. If they would just obey God, and not rebel against Him.
God loved Adam and Eve like no other creation, because only mankind was created in the likeness and image of God. Although, he loves all His creation, no other creation had His Spirit and breath breathed into Him. Man has God’s DNA, if we can even understand that. Scientists that deal with genetics and DNA have been startled and surprised to find literally writings in our DNA at deeper and deeper levels, telling the mysteries of God and man. God literally writing in man’s DNA, that He loves us.
(Genesis 1:26) And God said, “Let us make man in our image, and after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the foul of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth”.
(Genesis 1:27) “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female created He them.
(Ephesians 4:24) “And to put on the true self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness”.
We as human beings are the crowned glory of God’s creation. We are special, because no other creature, animal, glorious bright angel, or any other creation has ever been created in God’s image and likeness, but mankind.
We are like God in character and nature. We are created in his likeness, so that when creation would look on us they would see God, yet they would know we are ‘NOT GOD’. Please understand, we were created to be like God, yet we are not God.
In Christ, people see Jesus and not us. When we walk in love, in faith, in the Spirit, and in obedience to the commands of the Lord people see Jesus, not us. When people begin to see us and our good deeds, they lose sight of Jesus and they see a distorted image of what God created us to be.
Our witness is very important but it’s not enough. Letting our light shine so that people see our good works so it glorifies God is also important, but still isn’t enough. When people see our good works they still may not see Jesus unless we specifically direct their attention to Him.
My good works wrought in Christ may impress you and lift me up and set me on the pinnacle of moral excellence and yet cause you to miss the main point, that it is really Jesus Christ that lives in me and His goodness being expressed through my redeemed life. We must not take the glory, but give all glory and praise to the God who has changed our sinful hearts into new creatures in Christ Jesus.

It seems very likely that when Adam and Eve were first created, God came down in Spirit and spoke to them telling them over and over and in different ways how much He loved them. No doubt He told them things they needed to know in order to tend to the garden.
As Adam’s interest in caring for the garden increased, I’m sure God complemented him and maybe also gave him suggestions as to how he could make it even better. We can see as we look, in the evening the angels would hover in the peaceful atmosphere just above them, softly singing the praises of God gently causing peaceful sleep and slumber to come to them.
Now, as we walk down the street, not being perceived or seen at all, we notice that some people have darkness all around them. We quickly understand that they are non-believers. We also see dark shadowy figures and sinister spirits (demons) clinging to them, with chains wrapped around them.
Some have bands of oppression around their minds, and others have chains of sickness and disease which causes them great pain. We see dark spirits darting between cars and entering some cars and being repelled by others.
These sights enlighten our natural minds to the reality of the battle scripture tells us that we are engaged in. Paul tells us of this hard fought war that Christians are waging every day. It is a lifetime of war, with many battles. We must prepare to fight them every day, and we must set our minds to win every one of them.
(Ephesians 6:10-18) “Finally my brothers, be Strong in the Lord and in the Power of His Might” We understand that the only way we can win these battles is to be strong in the Lord, and receive our strength from Him. That takes place when we walk in the Spirit and live in the Spirit. It happens when we walk by faith, and understand what our enemy is up to, and take the authority that Christ won for us at Calvary when He died for our sins on the cross and shed His blood for our forgiveness, cleansing and redemption.
(Ephesians 6:10-18) “Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles (schemes) of the devil, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places (heavenly realms – spirit realm).
The revelation of seeing what’s taking place in the spirit realm, gives us a great advantage over the ‘Powers of Darkness’, and we see how it matches the narrative of what Paul is describing about putting on the whole armor of God, ripping back the veil of what is happening in the spirit world.

Every so often we see bright and powerful angels surrounding some cars, and as we listen we hear the joyful passengers singing “I LOVE HIM FOR HE IS MINE”, yet they themselves never seeing or maybe even knowing that angels are protecting them. (Ps. 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’.
We see a spirit of death taking control of a car and steering it out of control across the highway right at
a believer’s car with other born-again believers in it, and all at once the powerful angels put up a ‘FORCE FIELD, and the car is forced away from theirs, bouncing into a rebellious sinners car, and there’s a terrible crash. The Grim |Reaper just claiming several more souls.
We then see several people praying for their family’s protection and asking for angelic intervention, and God sends extra angels to keep and protect them from all harm and danger.
In the spirit we learn how important prayer is. We learn that we must pray for grace each day, for protection, for the salvation of our families, for their deliverance from the Powers of Darkness, and for God’s glory to come down upon us, our families, our churches, and our nation.

As we listen to the Christians as they pray, we discover how powerful their prayers really are, and even they don’t understand how powerful their prayers are. They are very powerful especially when they are walking close to God in love, faith, and obedience. The demons are terrified of those kind of prayers. THEY WILL TRY TO STOP YOU FROM PRAYING AT ALL COSTS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DEFENCE AGAINST GOD’S CHILDREN AS THEY PRAY IN FAITH, AND (EXTRA POWERFUL WHEN THEY PRAY IN TONGUES IN THE SPIRIT).

We hear the demons saying to one another. “If we can just distract Christians enough that they forget to pray, we then can begin to work on them to tear them down, and penetrate their lives. But when they are red hot for the Lord Jesus Christ and pray fiery, faith filled prayers, we can do nothing to stop them.
(Ephesians 6:10-18) “Let us put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to withstand (resist) in the ‘evil day’, and having done all to stand, stand therefore having on the strong belt of truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, and having on shoes that will make sure your footing and make it possible to bring forth the gospel of peace, above all taking the shield of faith wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery arrows of the devil, and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (Holy Ghost Tongues), watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
READ: FAITH CHANGES EVERYTHING
Now, as we return to the natural realm, we are inspired more than ever to walk close to God, to obey Him, to walk in faith, and to pray in the Spirit which is so powerful. We give all glory to God as we see how God protects and takes care of His own. IT NOW BECOMES THE BURNING DESIRE OF OUR HEART TO PLEASE GOD, PROMOTE HIS KINGDOM, AND TO ALWAYS DO HIS WILL.
