BLESSINGS FROM THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT ~~~ GOD SENT WEALTH! having higher spiritual blessings = multiplied manifested earthly provisions! The gifts of the Holy Spirit are also given from the spiritual realm as God has made them available to us. And to compliment Hebrews 4:12 (The Sword of the Spirit is quick & powerful)! Here are the NINE gifts: 3 Vocal gifts – tongues, interpretation of tongues and prophecy 3 Wisdom gifts – knowledge, discernment of spirits, wisdom 3 Power gifts – faith, healing and working of miracles None of these gifts are of the earthly realm, YET they are all spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit operating from the heavenly spiritual realm, that affect the physical realm. Jesus had authority and power over the natural realm by walking on water, calming the storm, turning water into wine and feeding 5000 people with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. He worked miracles over creation. He also cast out demons and healed the sick. He raised the dead. Jesus also had knowledge, discernment of spirits and great wisdom. This is what GOD the Holy Ghost is here to do and want to mimic in our personal walk as Christians in our personal lives! Once Jesus ascended into Heaven He poured out His Holy Spirit upon those in the Upper Room on the Day of Pentecost, and from that time on the disciples moved in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which were given to them to reach the world. Everything in the material earthly realm has a life span. This life span is controlled by time. Everything on earth is temporary wood rots, steel rusts, fabrics decay, even our bodies have to die, just like those of all the animals, fish, plants and insects. Everything on earth is controlled by a time span. The earth rotates on its axis, revolving around the sun, giving days, months and years. This gives us day and night. Day and night give us our time span. The Lord lives outside the span of time. To Him a thousand years are but a day. He lives in the spiritual realm outside the span of time; days and nights. When a person prays, he reaches above the time controlled limits of his own earthly realm into the eternal, spiritual, supernatural realm of God’s Holy and Heavenly presence. In God’s presence we find His peace, joy, and the covering of His great love for us. His love of us covers a multitude of sin, iniquities, trespasses, etc... Ephesians 1:3 says:‘Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.’ (NRSV) This is talking about Spiritual Blessings in the heavenly places, not Physical Blessings in the earthly places where we currently live. Without Christ, Man seeks the physical pleasures in the earthly realm, but in Christ through prayer we can be blessed with much higher spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Having higher spiritual blessings = having definite manifested earthly provisions! Job 32: 7-8:‘I said let days speak and many years teach wisdom, but it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty that makes him understand.’ (NRSV) The earthly physical realm is likened to a smaller racing wheel of time. The heavenly realm is likened to a large slow moving wheel of the universe. In prayer it is possible to rise up above the racing wheel of one’s own life and enter the still, quiet, timeless realm of God’s Heavenly presence. Here you can hear the Lord speak to you. Here He will teach you to walk in the Spirit, to be led by His Spirit while on earth, in order to embrace Hiss provisions for your daily provisions. Zechariah 4: 6:‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts.’ (NRSV) Romans 8: 2-6 explains this more: ‘For the Law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.’ So we have free choice to choose how we should live and the fruits of our decision will show in our lives. What is within us will show through our lives. If evil is within, a negative fruit of anger, hate, envy, or pride may show forth through our physical lives. If the Holy Spirit is within, then peace, joy, and love will show through our lives. Negative fruits showing through our lives can lead to sickness or other bondages, whereas the fruits of the Holy Spirit can lead to health, $$$ freedom, joy and peace. Matthew 28: 18-20:‘And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.’ Mark 16: 15-18:‘And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.’ Luke 24: 44-49:‘Then He said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me. And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. Then He said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.’ Serving the Lord does cost, but Jesus went all the way to the Cross for us. I know that I have to do my utmost for Him, for this is the reality of life. Shalom,
