Rhapsody of Realities - Live By Heavenly Principles - 02/07/2015

Pastor Chris

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:25).

Being born again, we live in two worlds contemporaneously: the natural world and the spiritual world. Some Christians have an understanding of the natural world and its principles of operation, but they're yet to understand the spiritual world and its principles.

The Lord Jesus made it clear that though you're in this natural world, you're not of this world; you were born into God's realm when you were born again. You have to be conscious of, and learn how to function in, that realm. It's a realm of glory; a realm that's beyond time and space. It's the realm of the miraculous.

Referring to this spiritual realm, Jesus declared, "...I am from above..." (John 8:23). He minced no words about the fact that He lived in two worlds. In John 3:13 He said, "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, EVEN THE SON OF MAN WHICH IS IN HEAVEN" (John 3:13); He was referring to Himself. You would have expected Him to say, "Even the Son of man which was in heaven", but He didn't! Rather, He said, "...which is in heaven...", because He lived in two worlds.

Just as there're activities we carry out in the natural world, there're activities in the spirit world as well. In the spiritual world, we live by the Word of God through the power of the Holy Spirit. We see with the eyes of the spirit. We live by heavenly principles; we dominate this physical world with the principles of our heavenly kingdom.

Refuse to condescend to the earthly level of life or reasoning. There's a life to be lived in the spirit realm. Let that become clear to you, and function accordingly! You'd be amazed at the glory of God that'll be manifested in your life as you walk in the Spirit.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the unveiling of the mysteries of the Kingdom to my spirit. I live by the Word and function by the power of the Holy Spirit; therefore I subdue my world. Thank you, for my life is ordered according to your perfect will, and your glory is revealed in me, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Further Study: 

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
