The reality of the unseen world

It is so unfortunate that the majority of folks will come to the reality of the unseen world only at the point of their death. Of course
at that point, it would be too late for them to recant or dismiss their original beliefs of this world and would have no other choice than to deal with what that world from that point forward dictates to them.

Over the years of studying, researching and teaching on spiritual warfare, I have ascertained that the common denominator that links the Believers of Jesus Christ with being defeated by the forces of darkness is the direct and in direct violation of the principle stated in the following scriptures; Ephesians 6:12, 2 Corinthians 4:18 and 2 Corinthians 10:4 and here is what those scriptures have to say respectively:

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”

The underlying tone in the above scriptures are all making reference to reality or a dimension that is not tangible or requires the use of our five senses. Thus, this is where the difficulty arises for those that dismiss the spirit world. Interestingly enough scripture clearly advises us that the natural man cannot understand the things of the Spirit of God. in fact, these things are considered foolishness to him. And as a result of this decision automatically blocks his ability to comprehend such things because they can only be spiritually discerned. This same scripture goes on to say, a spiritual person, can judge all situation. Simply because his judgments and assessments are based on things that are not visible, which he is fully aware of is the bases and origin of all things, 1 Corinthians 2:14-15.

I somehow have come to an understanding as to why one would not be able to comprehend or be quick to accept the reality of the unseen world. I can vividly recall as a young man growing up in the church. I would see member and visitors’ alike running around during the service in convulsions, throwing themselves on the floor, seemingly unable to control themselves, speaking an unintelligible language, etc. It was noted back then as it is in some cases today as being under the Spirit of God or “being in the spirit.” While I would readily agree that they were under a spirit, I’m not sure I would agree it was necessarily the spirit of God. The point that I am attempting to make is simply this. Many have polluted the understanding of the unseen world with physical displays such as what I have mentioned above. However, very little scriptural teachings have been made available to rightly educate the unlearned on what truly is spiritual and the principles and rules that the world is governed by.

We are given a glimpse of this world from the book of Daniel. In Daniel chapter 10, it is initially noted that Daniel was fasting for three weeks or twenty-one days. This is an excellent area to stick a pin in, simply because fasting is one of the protocols or principles of a person engaging in and with the unseen world. Scripture has repeatedly revealed that when the people of God face insurmountable challenges, a fast was necessary. The idea here was to commune, and request solutions from God, whom I might add is a spirit, according to John 4:24. Nevertheless, during this fasting period, Daniel revealed an experience that he had. During this encounter, Daniel said that he was approached by a certain man that was clothed in linen whose waist was girded with a gold sash.

Daniel went on to describe this person’s body as beryl, while his facial appearances like that of lightning and eyes as torches of fire. I am sure we can all conclude here that this could not have been a human being. The reality was, this person was a spirit being whom we know to be an Angel. Now, before we proceed further. We must cement into our understanding that this is a vision that Daniel is experiencing. Persons that can experience such an event are, in fact, observing with their spiritual eyes events from the spiritual world. Daniel could not observe these events with their natural sight. The Angel explained to Daniel that God heard his prayers from the first day of his fast. However, the Angel clearly said that he was delayed in executing God’s message to Daniel because the prince of the kingdom of Persia hindered him. Please note, this prince is not a human being. In fact, physical human strength cannot challenge the power of a spirit being. Additionally, these activities were taking place in the heavens and not on earth. As a reminder, the Angel of God was attempting to reach Daniel, who was located on earth.

This prince of the kingdom of Persia is known as a principality. A principality is a region or a territory in which a prince rules or governs. In other words, this demonic prince was the one responsible for all the wickedness and evil that was manufactured and distributed throughout the kingdom of Persia. Unfortunately, the angelic messenger that was sent to Daniel could not compete with this ruling prince (again these are all spiritual beings). The angel said, "Michael, one of the chief princes of God, came and assisted him by detaining the prince of Persia" so he could continue his mission to Daniel.

Daniel’s story is a perfect example of how vast in power the unseen world is, along with its hierarchy, rules, and principles that it is governed by. More importantly, it is this invisible world that is consistently determining what we experience in our natural world. This is why it is so vital that we understand that the Bible is the word of God. It is also a book of spiritual laws, rules, principles, and protocols of the spirit realm that dictates our natural realm. Therefore if we are ignorant as it relates to the things of the bible, then simultaneously, we are unaware of the existence, operations, and principles of the unseen world.

The bottom line is simply this. The Believers of Jesus Christ will continue to become casualties of spiritual warfare as long as they continue to subscribe to the physical blessings only. Such as car, houses, money, prosperity, teachings, etc. These things are the final product of what has occurred spiritually. If Christians continue in their ignorance of the spirit realm, this act will secure for them poverty, sickness, anti-progress, and the like as their portion in life.
The Apostle Paul repeatedly said in his teachings, “I would not have you ignorant” suggesting that even as a Christian there are many things that you do not know but need to know.

Dreams That Are Revealing Blessing Are On The Way

Due to the influx of emails I have received concerning dreams of things, places, and people of the past, such as dreaming of your former school, childhood home, a former job, former apartment, etc. I was compelled to shed more spiritual insight.

Of course, Such dreams are indicators that the spirits of setback and delay have been released against you from the spiritual realm. However, the flip side to such dreams is even more striking in that when one experiences such dreams, it is a clear understanding and a heads up that a breakthrough, miracle, positive change, etc., is pending for the dreamer.

I have counseled many folks who were frustrated with their Christian walk-in that every time something was about to come through for them, everything would just fall apart. I, in turn, would ask them, "Have you had dreams where you saw yourself wearing your former primary or high school uniforms or attending your former schools, including college? What about dreams where you constantly find yourself at your parent's home or grandparent's home even though you don't live there anymore? Some of the more evident signs would be dreams of seeing yourself back in a relationship with your ex-husband/wife or even former partners. If you are experiencing such dreams, you must begin waging war via prayer against the spirits of delay and setback that are working overtime to interrupt what God has set aside just for you.

As a reminder, a dream in which its contents are revealing someone is making an attempt to take you back to former events of your life. Such dreams are clear indicators of spiritual delay and setback, attempting to hijack the victim's spiritual blessings pending release for physical manifestation.

Scripture reminds us about the laws of times and seasons according to, Eccleceties. 3:1. Amazingly, the laws of time and season work in concert with another law that dictates God had already blessed us with all spiritual blessings. Subsequently, God did all of this before the foundation of the world, according to Ephesians 1:3-4. Therefore, every blessing has a specific time and season to be released into a person's life. On the other hand, Satan will attempt to ensure we never connect with those appointed times and seasons, again releasing his spirits of delay and setback to hinder your progress and elevation.

This will explain why carbon copies always show up in your life to delay you from connecting with God's original for your life. This is normal behavior from evil forces working against you when things are on the verge of turning in your favor. Carbon copies (the wrong people, places, and things) are intended to delay you from what was designed to advance you. Their job is to make sure the victim never progresses in life. In fact, they will see to it that you never cross a certain point in your life. You'll get so far but always have to start all over again.

Please, whoever you may be reading this article right now, this is not an accident or by chance that God has inspired you to read this post. I strongly advise you to critically review your dreams in search of the signs mentioned above and begin to wage war on these stealth spirits that secretly invade our lives via our ignorance of their existence.

Again, the scripture did not say the people of God are destroyed because of fornication, adultery, lying, cheating, or whatever else we categorize as sin. Instead, it plainly stated that it resulted from a LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!

Begin frighting now, and I mean right now, in prayer targeting the spirit of delay and setback with the word of God. Speak, Proverbs 6:30-31, Joel 2:25, Psalm 115:14, and many other scriptures, and at the same time, ask God to re-route you to your divine time, seasons, and appointments, all too collide with your appointed physical manifested spiritual blessings.

Miscellaneous dreams

Dreams of yourself Climbing a mountain or hill represents struggles and hardship. Dreaming of
yourself going up an elevator but the elevator all of a sudden stops; such a dream is indicating that the spirit of anti-progress has been let loose in your life and is fighting your advancement and promotion.

Dreaming of being push down a stair case or walking down a stair case is indicating demotion the dream will have the same meaning if you're traveling down an elevator.

If you have had dreams where you saw yourself walking backwards in a dream then the dream is revealing that a spirit of backwardness is attached to your life.

Dreaming of heavy weights being attached to your legs is indicating that someone is attempting to slow your progress or hinder your advancement.

Dreams where you are at your former residence especially your child hood home, represents the spirits of setback and delay in your life.

Dreams where you see yourself writing an exam but either you never finish the exam in the dream or you fail the exam, then the dream is revealing the spirits of defeat and failure is running rampant in your life and you must unseat these spirits with the fire of God!

Dreaming of cats especially black cats represents witches and monitoring spirits sent to monitor your life to plan future attacks against you. You must command spiritual blindness to all monitoring spirits sent to your life.

Dreams where you are cursing your spouse, these dreams are very manipulative, such dreams mean that you are in fact placing curse on yourself. As a reminder, marriage has made you and your wife one in the eyes of the Lord. So if you are cursing your wife in the dream you are indeed cursing yourself.. Rebuke this dream immediately!

Darkness in a dream represents ignorance and evil presence. If you dream that you are in a hospital but not as a patient then the dream is revealing that you are called to the healing ministry.

If you are having dreams where you saw your partner kissing someone else in the dream especially if the dream is repeating itself, then the dream is indicating betrayal, cheating, infidelity in the relationship.

If you are repeatedly having dreams about your partner being in bed with yourself and someone of the opposite sex or even same sex then the dream is revealing that either you or your partner has a spirit of perversion. Such a dream can also be indicating that uncertainty with either one or both persons in the relationship.

The color black in a dream would always represent something negative, such as ignorance, poverty. famine, sickness, disease etc.

Masquerading spirits in your dreams

For the record, Satan and his demons/evil spirits have the legal right to transform themselves into
different people and things. In fact they are permitted to do so via spiritual law. This is another spiritual law that one needs to take note of when attempting to make sense of their dreams.

Here is what scripture has to say about this spiritual law of transformation as it relates to Satan and his demonic agents,

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works", 2 Corinthians 11:13-15

With the above understanding in mind, you must pay special attention to your dreams when it comes to folks that you are familiar with in your dreams. The job of a masquerading spirit is to manipulate and deceive the dreamer while planting spiritual evil seeds in the life of the dreamer. Masquerading spirits will always attempt to secure the trust of the dreamer by pretending to be someone the dreamer is familiar with. This is common in the case of a dreamer dreaming about deceased love ones. Always keep at the fore front of your mind that a masquerading spirit will always be seeking the agreement of the dreamer or establishing evil covenants with the dreamer to bring about evil manifestations in the dreamer's life.

So, that person that you thought was your deceased Mom, Dad, brother/sister etc. in your dream were in fact masquerading spirits. Now, any interaction with those spirits that appear to be your deceased love ones will spell trouble for the dreamer. Scripture is clear when it said the following about the dead,

"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun." Eccl. 9:5-6 also, “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God" Leviticus 19:31 and Deut:18:11. Necromancers are folks that claim to speak to the dead.

Aside from this, masquerading spirits can disguise themselves as a close friends and make it appear as if your close friends are operating against you. Again, such dreams can be highly deceptive so in order to decipher if these are masquerading spirits, look for give away signs such as the person that appears to be your friend would barely show their face in the dream. in other words you'll be exposed to just a glimpses of their face.

Another sign, this person that appears to be your friend would be doing or saying something in the the dream that you know your friend would either not say or behave in such a way. Another sign, what appears to be your friend in the dream would either look taller, shorter, fatter than your friend is in reality. Another sign, this masquerading spirit dress code would be totally off from what you know your friend would wear in reality.

Trust me when I say to you that I have seen great friendships and relationships brought to an end simply because of a dream that the dreamer thought was the lord revealing the evil secrets of the dreamer's friend. It would only be when the dreamer and myself would go through the dream with a fine tooth comb that we were able to unfold the deception of the dream that caused the dreamer their relationship.

A Deeper Understanding Of Sexual Dreams

To be successful or a winner at anything, there must be a concentrated effort in discovering.
Or making oneself knowledgeable of the rules, laws, and principles that govern whatever it is that they intend to dominate.

I used the word dominant because to win or succeed at anything literally means dominating or master the rules, principles, and laws that it's governed by.

In today's teaching on dreams, we are about to unearth the revelation behind the mystery as to why certain matters in our lives are still challenging us even after much prayer, fasting, and coming in agreement with others, etc.

A friend of mine was very much frustrated in regards to some negative behavioral patterns that were resurfacing back into her life that she was fully aware were generational curses. To her amazement, she believed that these generational curses were done away with based on the intense prayers and fasting with the absence of those negative patterns. Before I go any further with this spiritual insight, many Believers of Jesus Christ have and are currently experiencing these same frustrations. They cannot understand how it is that after following the spiritual protocols laid out in scripture, they are once again oppressed by the same set of problems and situations. Some of them are even wondering if Satan's power is greater than the power of God or what could possibly be the explanation for having to deal with the same old situation again.

In an attempt to probe the source of my friend's vexing situation, I asked her if she can recall any of her dreams that she had experienced lately or during the time all of this vicious cycle had resurfaced in her life. As with most folks that I ask these questions to, they can not correlate a dream with their ongoing circumstances. Unfortunately, this is where their problems begin; and unfortunately, this is also where they lack knowledge in this vital area. She began to reveal a series of dreams that she thought had no significance or relationship with her situation. In these dreams, she's always having sexual relations with "her husband" to add to this, her husband is never acting or behaving how she knows her husband behaves in reality. A small portion of these dreams was with other people who she did not know. As far as she was concerned, her husband's dreams were good because it was "her husband" and not another person she was having sexual relations with.

I told her that the person in her dream that appeared to be her husband was not her husband. Of course, she found this difficult to believe. I further explained that due to these dreams being unchallenged by her, the generational curses she thought were once dealt with have now come to re-establish themselves via her dream to reintroduce those vicious cycles in her life.

Scripture says to us: " When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so, shall it be also unto this wicked generation“, Matthew 12:43-45?

Based on the above scripture, even though an evil spirit/s can be evicted from its human host, if conditions are not being maintained to keep them out, they can return. In fact, this particular spiritual law was being played out in my friend's life. Now, let's look at a few spiritual laws used by these evil spirits to dominate the dreamer's life in re-introducing these generational curses. The first law is 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, and here is what it says, "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." These masquerading spirits have transformed themselves into her husband's image to gain the trust of the dreamer. This particular spiritual law reveals to us that Satan, along with his agents, can mimic, masquerade, and impersonate people. Thus, what appeared to be my Friend's husband was an evil spirit!

Secondly, scripture says to us, “But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way” Matthew 13:25.

Now, let's put all of the pieces together. My friend did not know that the person pretending to be her husband in her dream was, in fact, an evil spirit masquerading as her husband. As a result, this evil spirit, which represents generational curses, decided to have sexual relations with my friend, whom she again thought was her husband. Sexual relations in a dream symbolizes "AGREEMENT OR COVENANT." My friend never resisted this spirit (disguised as her husband). Thus agreement via sexual relations unknowing to her was re-establishing the covenants of generational curses that were once addressed and dealt with. I want to make clear that everything that was taking place in my friend's dream was spiritual. If not interrupted via canceling such a dream, then it is automatic for physical manifestation to occur. Lastly, all of this was achieved by the enemy planting these evil seeds in my friend's dream, which I have repeatedly taught and, that is your dreams are spiritual, and the spirit world is the origin of all things. Thus evil spirits manipulate the dreamer from the spirit realm (their dreams) and seek covertly the agreement of their human victims to bring about the physical manifestation of their evil seeds planted in our dreams.

If you have had experiences with sexual dreams. I can assure you that these dreams usually come from a pending breakthrough for the dreamer or to re-establish evil covenants that were previously broken. Such dreams must be met with prayer and fasting because the enemy has sent everything in his camp to either stop your pending blessing or re-establish his chains of oppression in your life.

As a reminder, scripture clearly says, "Therefore my people are gone into captivity (bondage, imprisonment, incarceration, limitations, and restrictions) because they have no knowledge" Isaiah 5:13. However, we are also advised that it will be because of knowledge that the just shall be delivered: Proverbs 11:9.

Spiritual robbers in your dreams

I had a gentlemen approached me sometime ago who was very much perplex concerning some
dreams that he was experiencing from time to time.

In his dreams, he dreamt that an apartment complex that he owned in reality was inhabited by tenants that did not live in the apartment complex in reality. What was even more interesting about these dreams were the fact that these tenants faces were either always blurred, unable to be seen or had a disfigured like appearance.

The gentlemen went on to reveal that in one of the dreams concerning his apartment complex he visited the property to make sense of who these strange folks were and who gave them permission to occupy his property. In his attempt to retrieve this information he was met with great range and anger by the occupants who basically forced him off of his own property. In another dream concerning this same property, this gentlemen said that he saw a family moving into one of the apartments. Out of amazement and curiosity he approached the wife and asked her what was she doing and who gave her permission? He said, the lady said to him in a very calm and smooth voice, "I will pay you at the end of the month". Again, the face of this lady was blurred.

In another dream, the dreamer said that he saw his apartment complex being renovated. Again, he was confused because there were absolutely no renovations being done to his apartment complex in reality. He decided to enter one of the apartments to get a closer look , he ended up in the kitchen area. In looking through the kitchen window, he saw a vehicle pulled up directly in front of the apartment complex and a heavy set black lady came out of the vehicle wearing a two piece great suit, she entered the apartment and walked directly into the kitchen where he was located. The lady whose face he could not make out due to the lady intentionally moving in a way so that he could not see her face and also her face appearing to be blurred. The lady began cooking and explaining to the gentleman how she's a Christian and so on, almost as if to distract the gentleman, dream ended.

Now, before I provide the interpretation of his dream, the gentleman made it clear to me that during the course of these dreams some strange things in reality were going on with his apartment complex that just did not make natural sense. For example, the toilets in all of the units would over flow with water for no reason at all. The kitchen appliances would not work from time to time even though they were new appliances. Strange noises such as cracks and weird sounds would be hear in the roof and closets, particularly at night. All of a sudden there was an infestation of roaches and rats that began to surface throughout the complex even after the pest company had made many visits to rid the complex of these pest. Also, strange cats and birds would appear, again only at night on his property making strange noises and resting at a particular spot on the property. The utility bill for the apartment complex utility room would be astronomical high even though the new washer and dryer would seldom work. Simply put there were problems after problems with this complex but none of the problems seem to be natural. Finally, his tenants all left the apartment complex. Now here is where it becomes even more interesting, this gentleman could not get anyone to rent any of his units neither could he get anyone to purchase the apartment complex even after everything was repaired. Eventually his apartment went into foreclosure and he lost his apartments.

Friends, such dreams are common with folks who are being robbed spiritually by spiritual robbers in the spirit realm. Spiritual robbers are demonic spirits or evil spirits that rob the spiritual blessings of their human victims. I have mentioned in quite a number of my articles on dreams that all things that are visible and invisible has its origin in the spirit world/spirit realm. Of course this is validated by Ephesians 1:3, which says, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with "ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS" in heavenly places (spirit world) in Christ." With that said, it is widely and clearly understood by those that understands spiritual laws that governs spiritual warfare that if they intent to be successful physically or even fail physically, then the conception of failure or success must have been conceived or achieved from the realm that is not visible to us which is known as the spirit realm simply because this is where the origin if all things begin.

Therefore, being aided with this spiritual principle, spiritual robbers attack and rob the spiritual blessing of their human victims which scripture said God has already blessed us with in heavenly places or in other words the spirit realm. So, the gentleman dreams were revealing where he was being robbed spiritually by spiritual robbers in the spirit realm which automatically secured losses or destruction for their human victims material possessions in the natural. I will take it a step further with this spiritual revelatory insight. The occupants of this gentlemen's apartment that he saw in his dream were the spiritual robbers responsible for the strange happenings that were going on with his apartments such as the plumbing problems, appliance malfunctions abnormal bills etc. They were also the ones responsible for the real life tenants just abruptly leaving the complex and further causing the complex not to be rented or even sold and eventually caused the gentleman's property to go into foreclosure. In addition the cats and birds were actually monitoring spirits observing the progress of this man's losses b y whomever has assigned this misfortune to his life.

This explains why the apostle Paul said to the church of Corinth, " While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal"  2 Corinthians 4:18. You see my friend, like I have been saying, our dreams are spiritual and things that are spiritual can not be physical seen. However, the apostle Paul who had a clear understanding of the spiritual realm and the laws that govern it had revealed to us that it is this area that we aught to be concentrating our efforts on simply because this is where all things are conceived and earth is the area where it's manifested.

In this gentlemen's case he was ignorant as to what was being revealed to him from  a spiritual perspective in his dream thus, he saw no need to cancel or challenge his dream (you can not fight what you do not know exist). Therefore, as a result of him not cancelling or challenging his dreams, then by default his dream manifested, meaning because he was robbed spiritually it was automatic that he would suffer losses physically.

There are many of you reading this article right now who can probably relate to such a dream. You've had dreams where you've seen strange, unrecognizable men, women or even strange creatures either attacking you, destroying your property, taking possession of your property etc or your house, car or any of your real life material possessions going missing in your dreams. These dreams are revealing that your spiritual blessings are being challenged by demonic forces also known as spiritual robbers. Such dreams must be met with violent prayers  saturated with the word of God upon waking from the dream. As a side note, we later discovered as a result of other dreams that this gentlemen had concerning his former property that someone worked witchcraft against his property. In other words evil spirits were released by some folks that were extremely jealous of this person's success and progress and as a result rather than attacking the gentleman's possessions from a physical approach the decision was made to deal with him from a spiritual perspective (witchcraft). Unfortunately, because of his lack of knowledge concerning the laws that govern the spiritual realm and his lack of knowledge of dream interpretation dreams he like many others become victims of their lack of knowledge.

Friends, I find it necessary in educating and informing you spiritually on these perplexing matters which I am almost certain you'll probably never hear at your local church assembly. I myself was once ignorant to these things and as a result suffered much unnecessary losses and countless defeats. The reality is it wasn't the spirits and demonic forces that defeated me instead it was my LACK OF KNOWLEDGE of spiritual laws, principles and protocols that maintained my defeat. Now that I know and understand these laws, I now know how to effectively apply the word of God which is spiritual law against my invisible enemies whose job is to rob me of my spiritual blessings that will automatically produce losses for me in the natural.

As a reminder, Scripture says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" Hosea 4:6. It is this type of knowledge and understanding that you're lacking that is securing your continued defeat. However, scripture further advises us of the importance of knowledge when it said, "but through knowledge shall the just be delivered" Proverbs 11:9b. Please take these teachings seriously and apply what you've bee taught.

The Inability To Spiritually Discern

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things
which are seen are temporal, but the things not seen are eternal" 2 Corinthians 4:18.

These were the words penned by the Apostle Paul to the church of Corinth. Basically, the Apostle is encouraging the church of Corinth to pay greater attention to the things of the realm of the spirit instead of being misled by visible things. The Apostle Paul clearly understood, based on his statement, the primary rule or principle of the spirit realm, and that rule is; all things, visible and invisible, have their origin in the unseen world or what we know to be the spirit world. In fact, he went a step further by revealing that the contents of that world are eternal, suggesting that there is no ending or dying of anything from that world, unlike our world, where everything has a beginning and an end.

Today I would like to share with you some spiritual insight that I hope would not only expand your spiritual understanding but will cause you to focus on what is real and of greater importance as opposed to visible things that's for the most part, and at best misleading you and wasting your efforts. Have you ever wondered how a person could be so anointed, carry many titles such as prophet, master prophet, Evangelist, Elder, etc, and can not discern the spiritual root behind your physical matters?

How is it that when a so-called prophet calls you up to prophesy to you, for the most part, he or she only sees material things such as houses, cars, promotion on one's job, etc., and rarely if ever, reveals the spiritual root causes of your ongoing matters?

In Luke 13, scripture tells us that a woman was physically challenged for 18 years. Her ailment was that she could not stand erect, she was bent over, and again she was in this position for 18 years. Scripture further reveals that she was a daughter of Abraham, suggesting that she was a Believer of God Almighty. So, two questions popped up in my mind while pondering on this passage of scripture.

1) How could a child of God be physically challenged for such a long time and

2) How come this church she attended assumingly for 18 years could not discern the spiritual root cause behind her physical illness and, by the power of God, set her free?

Well, scripture records that while Jesus was teaching in this particular synagogue, he immediately spiritually discerned that this woman had a "SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY," unlike the other "title carriers" who just saw her in a physically incapacitated state and proceeded to cast the "SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY" out of this woman. It is further revealed that immediately when this "SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY" was cast out of this woman, she was able to do what she could not do for 18 years, and that was to stand erect. As usual, Jesus is constantly attacking the root and never the symptom.

Again, how is it that her spiritual leaders could not spiritually discern the fact that even though she had a visible physical illness, they could not discern the spiritual root behind it? This was really challenging for me to comprehend because it makes me wonder were her spiritual leaders really concern about her well-being, were her leaders really as spiritual as they claimed? For example, after Jesus had delivered this lady from this oppressive spirit, it is said that the synagogue leaders were angry with Jesus, questioning him as to how he could perform such a deliverance on the Sabbath day. Wow! Now isn't this interesting? Their behavior clearly shows that they were not interested in the lady being healed. In fact, as far as they were concerned, she could have stayed in that position and condition until the day she died; their behavior also suggests that they were focusing more on what was visible as opposed to spiritual things, which they ought to be focus on according to the Apostle Paul...Wow! Just for a moment, seriously think about your church. Do they speak and behave more towards material and physical things, or are they focusing on the spirit of Adultery, the spirit of division, lying spirits, etc? During prayer, do the prayers for you or the congregation go like this, "Lord, send a financial blessing, Father, open the windows of Heaven and pour out financial resources," or due to their spiritual insight, they're praying against the spirit of poverty and the devouring spirits that are consuming your spiritual finances thus, disabling physical, financial resources to manifest in your life?

Now, let's turn the limelight on you and your place of worship. After all the prophecies regarding new spouses, homes, cars, inherited wealth, etc., again focusing on material things, did the Prophets and spiritual leaders discern spiritually the spirit of infirmity attacking your body with cancer? Did the prophet see the witchcraft targeting your life? Did the prophet discern that your illness is not natural but its origin is that of witchcraft, and even if it has been revealed by the prophet did they do what Jesus did and cast the spirit out so like the woman who had the spirit of infirmity you can enjoy a better quality of life? How about this one? Did the prophet see that piece of paper with your enemy's name written on the inside of your shoe signifying hardship and oppression for your enemy as the source of why you can not get ahead in life? You see, my friend, the more you use the bible as a benchmark or measuring stick to the non-sense that these misguided folks do, the more you'll see why after all the prayers, all the sowing of financial seeds, and whatever else they have been asking you to do absolutely nothing is happening for you.

To discern is to observe that which is beyond the physical, just like how the Apostle Paul said in my opening statement,  "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

Why not join me in prayer this morning, asking God to open your spiritual eyes to discern beyond the natural displays of your physical matters and cause you to spiritually see the root causes of the past, pending, and future issues in your life and the lives of others. Father, remove the spiritual scales that have compromised our spiritual sight and insist that we focus on the physical instead of emphasizing the spiritual. Lord, we are asking you to amplify your spiritual gift of discernment in our lives so that we are better able to discern and decipher your will for our lives and to identify and resist the counterfeits that would attempt to seduce and lead us on the road of destruction in the mighty and matchless name of your son and our savior Jesus Christ. Amen!
