GETTING BEYOND THE PHYSICAL REALM
Getting beyond the physical realm is all about what you feel. How you think and most of all are you willing to follow God’s instruction book, the bible. The first step is to learn to stop speaking doubt and unbelief into your life.
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Christians who constantly talk doubt are actually talking death to their own physical and spiritual bodies. When you speak what the word of God says you are speaking life to your physical and spiritual bodies.
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
If any man among you seems to be religious or spiritual and can’t control their tongue you are deceiving your own heart and their religion or profession of faith is in vain, or worthless, having no genuine substance, value or importance. We must learn from Gods word by the Holy Spirit how to conduct our wording as we speak.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
We need to understand that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm. In Christ we have all the benefits of knowing God. Having been chosen for salvation, being adopted as His children we have access to forgiveness, insight, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, power- to do Gods will, and the hope of living forever with His son, Christ Jesus, are some of the benefits we receive as children of God.
Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
These gifts are eternal, not temporal and not from our earthly realm. God has adopted us as his very own children through Christ Jesus’ sacrifice. You have been brought into the family of God and made heirs to the kingdom. Here is what you should do, express your thanks for his wonderful love and loving kindness and live righteously before Him. You are not saved because we deserve it, but because God is gracious. There is no way you can take credit by your own actions for your salvation.
The cross of Calvary that Jesus died on has made it possible for you to rise above and beyond the physical realm by accepting the finished work at the cross by God’s son, Jesus: Therefore, being led by His Holy Spirit of truth.
How do we rise from the way we see ourself to the way God sees us? By reading Gods word, the Holy Spirit will communicate it to your spirit.
John 14: 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
The word cannot be understood by our natural minds. Our spirit must rule the mind, we must not allow what you experience in this physical realm or with your emotions to control what we think. The promises of God activated in our hearts by the Holy Spirit confirms a higher spiritual reality. It is discernment, the ability to conceive of something that you cannot see with your natural eyes.
Most people’s circumstances fall between two realities, the physical and the spiritual reality. The natural reality that you were born into and the spiritual one we were supernaturally born again into when we ask Jesus to be your Lord and repent or turn from your sins. The born-again reality has a higher spiritual reality. It is the ability to see ourselves the way God sees us.
As we walk daily, we see only our physical or human reality. This is why we need to have our focus on our power and authority from God. This leads us to be able to live the blessed life God has planned for us. We must go beyond the physical realm in order to get into the arena of doing things in our spiritual strength. Our natural mind will lead us to try and do things in our own strength. This physical realm can be very destructive to us. It can lead to fear, stress, confusion, depression, and many other detrimental things. It is important that we make right decisions for the right reasons.
Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol turn to God. Our decisions could determine your eternity and where we will spend it. Don’t let the whispers of Satan push you into giving up or quitting. Keep going, turn to the heavenly Father.
Proverbs 18:20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
We can actually speak life with your lips and fill your spirit which will lead to abundance in your physical life. We need to seek through God’s words for the direction of your life, stay out of thinking in worldly ways. Listen to that quiet voice of the Holy Spirit, seek God’s presence. God wants to speak with you every day. He is looking for a relationship with you.
This is Christian reality. You are responsible for your spiritual life if you are a baptized believer. Continue to confess, I am a believer, I am a child of God, a believer, an heir to the kingdom of God by Christ Jesus. If you haven’t accepted Jesus as Savior, now is a good time to ask Him to come into your heart and be the Lord of your life.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
This proclaims in no uncertain terms exactly who and what Jesus is. The only way to have a relationship with God the Father is through his son Jesus. Remember that God’s word is His will for your life.
May he be ever present with you.
Stay in the word,
Pastor Andy
