Understanding the Spirit Realm

When I first started journalling and set up this blog, I was a bit concerned that in cyber space, there might come some misunderstanding as to the nature and source of "The Spirit is Calling".

People are drawn to the spirit realm as a matter of curiosity or fear and some are drawn to the perceived "power" that the supernatural might grant them. 

To be clear, the spirit realm is real and inhabited by angels of light and demons of darkness  The "devil" is real as God is real, but God is the Creator of all and the devil is merely one of God's created.

The Holy Spirit is the 3rd person of the Triune Godhead as in God, the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Ghost).

My life history and experiences have offered lessons regarding the dark side of the spirit realm so I know the power there is real however (thankfully) limited.  These life lessons have enabled me to understand and process the hard events that take place here on earth as we have an unseen enemy committed to our defeat as humans. 

We get a behind-the-scenes look at the spirit realm in the first few chapters in the Biblical book of Job.  This is vital information for all humanity when attempting to understand the challenges and life shaking events that we all will face sooner or later.

The Bible is hard truth even if our finite minds cannot fully grasp such knowledge.   

Understanding that Earth experienced a hard fall when God's chosen regent and designated governor (original Adam) rebelled the Divine structure of Sovereign authority and lost his dominion to a dark deceitful being, helps explain the sense of a missing part of our Divine design.  What drives us deep within our core is to be "whole" or "Holy" and "complete", as we were designed to be back in the beginning.

We are hard wired for relationship with our Creator God.  Our internal design and DNA is as an immortal image bearer of the one True God. 

Until and unless we are restored in that glorious image, deep sorrow fills our soul and a vexing mystery floods our mind.  It is the Holy Spirit Who enables our restoration.  His indwelling Presence is only available to those who have come to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior from the penalty of rejecting Him that is to come. 

This blog was initiated to share the ministry and role of the Holy Spirit as He has worked in my life since that saving moment when Jesus took over.  

For those who have come here looking for the "occult", I'm sure you will be sorely disappointed, but I hope you will find value in reading about the true picture of the spirit realm and Who holds the power therein.

Before the creation of mankind in His very own image, it seems that the Lord God created the "Heavenly Hosts" otherwise known as angels,  to serve His purposes in what and for whom He was about to create.  These angels are supernatural to us and more powerful in design than flesh and blood humans. While awesome in power we are never to worship angels as they are merely servants of the Most High.

These celestial beings were given free will at their creation just as mankind was given.  And, just as mankind,  some in a free will decision chose to reject God's Sovereign structure in Divine authority.  In other words, these angels (1/3 of the total created) became infatuated with themselves (in pride) and chose a life and course at cross purposes with the plans and purpose of the Creator.  Back in the Garden of Eden, darkness (from an evil spirit) took ruling authority over mankind and all creation groaned. 

While 2/3 of the Heavenly Host remained loyal to the Creator and faithful to their Divine assignment, the full power of their role in our lives awaits our decision to become a citizen of Heaven.  

Jesus came to redeem what was lost at the fall but until we accept Him and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, evil will dominate our lives.

Many live under the dominion of darkness but Jesus came to set the captives free.  

These are just some "cliff" notes of a much grander supernatural love story where you have an important role to play as the Lord's Beloved creation.    I hope you might follow along with my story and be encouraged by things I have discovered on my journey with Jesus as you come to find your own place in His Presence.

The Spirit is calling Can you hear Him? 

Job chapters 1-2
John 14:15-18
Revelation 12
