    Mystery creates wonder and wonder

    is the basis of man's desire to understand.

    Neil Armstrong

    LLIIVVEE WWIITTHH SSPPIIRRIITTUUAALL AAUUTTHHOORRIITTYY

    From every culture across the globe throughout history and in

    particular biblical history, events of heaven meeting earth have

    been recorded. From as early as Adam hearing God walking in thecool of the day to Ezekiel being snatched by his hair to heaven;

    divine visitations, spiritual journeys, extraordinary visions and

    peculiar happenings are documented on the pages of time.

    Throughout time and generations past there have been and still is

    great fascination and great fear with the spirit world.

    The phrase "spirit world" incites a variety of feelings in different

    people. The obsession with the spirit world floods our movietheatres, television sets and bookstores. How much of the spirit

    world do we understand?

    That phrase, "the spirit world" is a very vague term. While we are

    earth dwellers, we ask, "Is there a spirit world?" "If there is a spirit

    world, how can human beings know for sure?" "If there is a dual

    universe, how do we experience the spirit world?"

    WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed Page 5

    Through faith we understand that the worlds

    were framed by the word of God,

    so that things which are seen were

    not made of things which do appear.

    Hebrews 11:3

    LLIIVVEE WWIITTHH SSPPIIRRIITTUUAALL UUNNDDEERRSSTTAANNDDIINNGG

    Everything that has substance, essence and material structure is

    made up of invisible substance. Water being visible is made up oftwo elements that are invisible; hydrogen and oxygen. Our

    inability to see these two elements with the naked eye does not

    destroy the fact that they exist.

    The universe extends beyond the mind of man,

    and is more complex than the small

    sample one can study.

    Kenneth L. Pike

    The eye that is willing to see deeper by way of modern technology

    is able to see that hydrogen and oxygen are present. Our natural

    world; the visible world is made up of invisible elements. To

    successfully operate in the natural realm, we must understand the

    laws that govern it. The laws of nature though invisible to us are

    presently operating whether we are aware of it or not. Living on

    the earth requires us to operate within what is seen and what is not

    seen.

    And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all

    night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that

    place, and put them for his pillows, and laid down in that place

    to sleep. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the

    earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the

    angels of God ascending and descending on it. ~Genesis 28:11

    LLIIVVEE WWIITTHH SSPPIIRRIITTUUAALL PPEERRCCEEPPTTIIOONN

    There is absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt a place whereheaven and earth meets. There is a place that transcends the

    physical that abides in the invisible; parallel to the visible. We call

    this realm "the realm of the spirit" or "the spirit world".

    As intellectual beings, it's very easy to deny what cannot be seen,

    touched, smelled, tasted and heard. Yet, denial based on sensory

    perception is neither intelligent nor factual. A world of

    microscopic life forms was unknown until science assisted humans

    to elevate their ability to see beyond the five-sense realm.

    What we believe in our human understanding of spiritual things is

    a minute fraction of what is to be known and what must be known.

    Expansion of the mind is required if we desire our theology to

    meet God's reality.

    The spirit realm is the place of true habitation. It is not where we

    visit, it is where we abide. The door is always open though it is

    not often seen. Spirit is not known and experienced in the realm of

    the senses because the senses belong to the natural world.

    No pessimist ever discovered the secretof the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land,

    or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.

    Helen Keller

    LLIIVVEE WWIITTHH SSEELLFF KKNNOOWWLLEEDDGGEE

    You are not the sum total of your physical body. There are levels

    and dimensions to your existence. Even as the natural world is

    made up of invisible components, you also are made up of

    invisible components. These invisible elements make up an

    integral part of your being. To neglect the most essential part of

    you is to neglect what makes you who and what you are. The part

    of you that you call "self" is made up of "spirit". Spirit is what

    sparks your life and sustains your life.

    Spirit encompasses your breath, your mind and your soul. Spirit is

    the throne of your consciousness from which the seat of your

    mental, intellectual and emotional powers reside. Spirit defines

    your aptitude and your altitude. It is the source of your strength

    and true identity.

    The deepest part of you which is spirit lives without time, without

    boundaries and without impossibilities. From the deep place

    comes dreams, aspirations and miracles. Your spirit believes the

    impossible and thrives on the possibility of all it imagines.

    The human spirit is never finishedwhen it is defeated...

    it is finished when it surrenders.

    Ben Stein

    BBEELLIIEEVVEE IINN YYOOUURR TTRRUUEE SSEELLFF

    As a natural creature, your body is subject to time, disease and

    decay. As a spiritual being, your spirit is eternal and

    indestructible. Great are the things you can accomplish when you

    discover the greatness of your divine design.

    The impossible becomes possible when you rid yourself of doubt.

    The inconceivable is conceivable when you rid yourself of

    unbelief. The insurmountable becomes attainable when you free

    yourself of fear.

    Jesus said unto him, If thou can believe,

    all things are possible to him that believes.

    Mark 9:23

    You are an extraordinary being. Don't allow your unbelief to

    hinder you from be-ing; being all you can be.

    So God created mankind in his own image,

    in the image of God he created them;

    male and female he created them.

    Genesis 1:27

    BBEELLIIEEVVEE IINN YYOOUURR TTRRUUEE SSEELLFF

    Your spirit longs to know spiritual things. You; created in the

    image and likeness of God are filled with the life of God, the

    essence of God and the substance of God.

    Possibilities are defined by the unlimitedness of the image you

    were created in. You were created with the fabric of the Divine.

    The more you get to know God, the more you will discover

    yourself in Him.

    For nothing is impossible with God.

    Luke 1:38

    The word "impossible" is not in God's vocabulary and it should not

    be in yours. You are not a fragile creature doomed to the fate of

    the wind. On the contrary, you are a creature of divine design

    destined towards great heights. Hidden beneath your human frame

    is a power that can harness the power of the sun. Supernatural

    power resides in you. Dare to believe and exercise your true

    spiritual abilities. There is no circumstance you cannot overcome.

    There is no fight you cannot defeat.

    The atom is an invisible thing but when split causes great visible

    destruction. The force that is created from within the atom is

    dormant but when provoked demolishes everything for miles.

    Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,

    the evidence of things not seen.Hebrews 11:1

    SSPPIIRRIITTUUAALL PPOOWWEERR RREESSIIDDEESS IINN YYOOUU

    Hidden beneath unbelief, fear and doubt lays the power that ignitesmiracles. Unmentionable possibilities are right now in you. Right

    now there is great power waiting to be unleashed. This power is

    inside of you not outside of you. This power is released by faith.

    You will never use what you don't believe in.

    I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth

    will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth

    will be loosed in heaven.

    Matthew 18:18

    Like the car that requires the key to turn on the engine, your faith

    turns on your spiritual power. But, you don't stop there. You must

    press the gas pedal if you want to move. It's not enough to have

    faith; you must now use the power of the spoken word. You must

    speak what it is you believe. When you speak from the place of

    full assurance that does not waver; you will see what you hoped for

    materialize. You are a spiritual being able to affect the naturalworld. From the natural realm, the spiritual realm hears and

    responds.

    Heaven has its ears positioned towards you. When you believe in

    your natural experience in that which is spiritual; the spiritual will

    deliver in your natural sphere that which you expect.

    The kingdom of God is within you.

    Luke 17:21

    BBEELLIIEEVVEE FFRROOMM YYOOUURR SSPPIIRRIITTUUAALL BBAASSEE

    Spiritual power is released through the revelation of self-

    perception. What you perceive, you believe. What you believehas the potential to release what it contains. If you believe in

    defeat, defeat is what you will receive. Expectation is governed by

    what is contained in the thing you believe in. If what you believe

    is true and not false or fabricated; the true thing allows you to

    receive what is hidden within it. A treasure chest filled with

    precious jewels is available to the one that knows where it is

    located. Once located, the contents of the treasure chest are

    obtained by the one that can open it. Such is the way of the spirit.

    Such is the way of spiritual power.

    You must live from your spiritual base. Your roots are in God.

    Your source of power is released from the place it abides in.

    Eternity lives within you. Eternity includes the unlimited, the

    undeniable and the indestructible. Your power source is not outside

    of you; your power source is within you. Whenever you seek

    outside of yourself; you will be faced with lack because all that

    you need has been deposited within you. You must dig throughwhat clouds your mind and what clogs your heart to find your way

    back home; home to your spiritual base.

    Power is what every living creature exercises to some degree.

    Power exerts energy and requires some type of control. Power

    doesn't move or act on its own volition. Power is a force that is

    directed.

    Now to him who is able to do exceedingly,abundantly more than all we ask or think according

    to his power that works within us.

    Ephesians 3:20

    LLIIVVEE WWIITTHH SSPPIIRRIITTUUAALL PPOOWWEERR

    Ability is birthed out of possibility. Your abilities are defined by

    what God deems possible. Because you were created in the image

    of the One who believes nothing is impossible; you have

    extraordinary power to accomplish extraordinary things. Your

    greatest moments are yet to be lived.

    Jesus answered and said unto them,

    Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not,

    ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree,

    but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed,

    and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

    Matthew 21:21

    The greatest of inventions comes from within the mind of the one

    who invents it. The greatest of physical strength comes from

    within the body that exudes it. The greatest of songs comes from

    within the one that sings it.

    I will praise thee, for I am fearfully,wonderfully made.

    Psalm 139:14

    BBEELLIIEEVVEE WWIITTHH YYOOUURR SSPPIIRRIITT

    Your existence is not by chance. You are not a mistake. You are

    not a victim of circumstance. You are a masterpiece crafted by the

    hand of God Divine. God has created you with reason and with

    purpose. God has designed you with intellect and power.

    You have the power to break through every negative circumstance.

    You don't have to go far for the wisdom that can break through

    your incapabilities and insecurities. In the deep place you can

    connect to the source of all knowledge and all power for theanswers you need. Divine strategies are within reach. Strategic

    solutions are not far from you.

    But thou, when thou prayest,

    enter into thy closet,

    and when thou hast shut thy door,

    pray to thy Father which is in secret;

    and thy Father which seeth in secretshall reward thee openly.

    Matthew 6:6

    So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God

    he created them; male and female he created them. God

    blessed them, and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply,

    and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the

    fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every

    living thing that moves upon the earth. God saw everythingthat he had made, and indeed, it was very good.

    ~Genesis 1:27-28

    UUNNLLEEAASSHH YYOOUURR PPOOWWEERR

    To be created in the image and likeness of God means that you

    share God's DNA. What you can do is only limited by what you

    believe. You have been designed to live a productive, prosperous

    and purposeful life.

    Like the elephant, we are unconscious of our own strength.

    When it comes to understanding the power we have to make a

    difference in our own lives, we might as well be asleep. If you

    want to make your dreams come true, wake up. Wake up to

    your own strength. Wake up to the role you play in your own

    destiny. Wake up to the power you have to choose what you

    think, do, and say.

    ~ Keith Ellis

    WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed Page 15

    Your spiritual makeup is equipped with the power you need to live

    the life you were born to have. Wake up to your true spiritual

    identity. Wake up to your power. You are more than who and what

    you see in the mirror. You are greater than your accomplishments

    and stronger than your defeats.

    A journey of self-discovery will reveal your unique greatness.

    This journey will not only empower you but also transform you.

    A return to your spiritual roots will lead you beyond religious

    tradition to the very gate and portal of God. In this secret place,

    God will reveal the fountain of youth, the power of eternity and

    the wisdom of heaven.

    The greatest of prophets points to the road that leads to the

    abundant life. Jesus said, "I have come that they might have life,

    and that they might have it more abundantly." This is not to be

    interpreted to mean a religious life. Jesus revealed in his own

    persona the power of human potential. As a teacher, Jesus

    provided and still provides instruction on the deeper life.

    An exciting adventure awaits all who dare to believe that life, as

    we know it is full of glorious possibilities. This moment marks

    new beginnings ahead. Live your life to the fullest. Live it with

    power. Live it with purpose.
