2011 SHALL BE GLORIOUS!


A GLORIOUS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!


As we leave this year and enter into 2011, I am reminded of the evening of March 11, 2010. Prior to this time, I had only once had someone to speak a very phenomenal word about my life in October, 2002 of what she believed God was saying to her concerning what would happen for me. However, 2009 was a very disheartening and discouraging year for me, to say the least, the worst year of my life (no exaggeration), just an extremely difficult time... PERIOD! The person I was to marry left me for someone else. I was without a job, and therefore, lost my beautiful house that sat on a lake where I'd go rowing or fishing periodically. I lost my automobile. And almost lost my life. I had experienced loss and tragic situations before, but this pain was excruciatingly wrenching!!! I had always followed Jesus, but this seemed to be a time of great dispair for me. My only option was total surrender... I literally had nothing left to lose. As I entered into 2010, I began to be placed within the path of various Pastors that began to speak over me once again.

March 11, 2010, Pastor Tim Bagwell, whom I'd never met before, called me forth from the church audience and spoke to me saying repeatedly, "The old has passed away, behold all things become new!" He then went on to tell me, "Do not look at your future based on your past. You have looked at your tomorrows through a limited perspective. You've had opposition, disappointment, heartache and loss, but NOW you'll live up and move up! You'll walk in things different and see things different." Okay, so you might say this could be just about anyone's past, however, he did not choose anyone else from the audience to say this to but me... and the truth of it touched deep within my heart as tears began to stream from my eyes! He also told me, "You've looked at Jesus as a weak Jesus. But now through your situations, you'll see Jesus in the High Place... Seeing Him High and Exalted! You'll see His Glory moving the doorposts, and He's opening for you doors no man can open. He's moving the foundations and breaking the back of the enemy. Old things ARE passed away! Healing is going into your body. Virtue is going into your body. The anointing is going into your body. Energy levels are shifting. Things are now cycling right. Things are now being restored. You are WHOLE SAYS GOD!!!" During that season of turmoil in my life, something miraculous and supernatural happened for me and within me that night!

Another word spoken throughout 2010 for us was that we were entering into a season of "Unmeasurable blessings, unmeasurable favor, unmeasurable manifestations, nothing missing, and nothing broken!" And now as I reflect over 2010, it has absolutely been the most miraculous year I've ever experienced. I know without a doubt that things will never be the same. I can honestly look back and count the multitude of blessings, the unmeasurable favor, and the manifestation of God's pure goodness in my life.

In taking the time to go before our Father in prayer and fasting these last few days, there are a couple of scriptures He gently placed within my spirit:

Psalm 23:1 (Amplified), "The LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack." and, Isaiah 6:1, 3 (Amplified), "...[in a vision] I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and the skirts of His train filled the [most holy part of the] temple. ...And one cried to another and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!

For 2011, these scriptures caused me to remember the above words that had been spoken into my life. The Lord is still shepherding us, and true hope in Him never disappoints. Most versions of Psalm 23:1 say we shall not want... In Him, there is no lack. We shall move forward believing that God is still fulfiling His promise of nothing missing and nothing broken, and perfecting us for His promises that all might come to pass. And this is absolutely the best time to be within the Kingdom of God, because His glory is filling the earth. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts!!! 2011 is a "Year of His Glory and Holiness!" In entering 2011, we are going from fullness of how He has blessed us into overflowing prosperity in every area... family, relationships, health and finances!!

Unfortunately, discouraging things do happen, but nothing in Him ever happens without reason and purpose. Therefore, let go of what is behind, especially those things and memories that have been tragically disappointing. Every promise that God has spoken shall be fulfilled. He does not lie, and He never forgets all of the good He has for you. In looking forward toward all that we are believing our Father to fulfill for us, see those desires seated in Jesus, the One Who is highly exalted. Jesus, through the completed work of the Cross, has already attained our abundant, victorious and glorious living. We're not in the ring trying to win the title belt, IT'S ALREADY OURS!!! When Jesus won that victory, He went on to be seated at God's right hand in honor, strength and power. The word also says that we are seated in the heavenlies with Christ, therefore, we are seated in that position of honor, strength and power, having all authority as sons and daughters of the Most High God! We speak things that be not as though they already exist... and they shall be established!

See those loved ones that you've been praying for already seated in Christ, and speak that they are saved... see your finances and bank account already seated in Christ, and speak that you are wealthy... see your health already seated in Christ, and speak that you are healed and all is well... see your marriage already seated in Christ, and speak that the two of you are one... AND IT SHALL BE ESTABLISHED! Keep your focus and endeavors within this new year on God, His Word, and accomplishing His work and will, just as Jesus did, and you shall prosper!

We are not of this world, but in this world living within the Kingdom of God and within the REALM OF HIS GLORY!!! 2011 SHALL BE A GLORIOUS YEAR!!!

KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS... Is Home Here On Earth For The Believer!

And If You Possess The Keys To This Home... Where Do You Live?

Our brains trigger us to automatically respond when we're asked this question... "Where do you live?" Without hesitation, we answer providing the physical geographical location of where we reside. The answers which we provide give an actual accounting of the facts surrounding our location of address here on the earth. Then, where exactly is the "Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven?" If this is a true realm of the Father's Glory that exists for us here and now on the earth, just where might we find this Kingdom?

Jesus said to us in Mark 4:11 that we have been entrusted to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God. They are the secret counsels of God which are hidden from the ungodly. He said, for those outside of this circle everything becomes a parable. In other words, the Kingdom of God is for His own children, those who've made Jesus Lord of their lives! Jesus Himself said that it is not for those who don't know Him. The Kingdom of God has been revealed as a place in which we dwell where to us mysteries and secret counsels are revealed and made known.

The Kingdom of the Heavens is a mystery of more than one thing to be revealed. The Bible provides many references about the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, there is no way for me to package it neatly and sum it up within this blog. Like the Father, it is vast and multi-faceted. The Bible tells us in Matthew 6:31-34 to not worry and be anxious for the things that we know we need (food, drink, clothing) because this is how those who are without God operate... wishing for and craving and diligently seeking all these things. Within the Kingdom of God, He already knows very well that you have need of these things. What we are to seek and strive after is His Kingdom and His righteousness. We are to seek His way for our lives within each day, and as we walk along the path of following closely and obediently after Him, He promises that these things will be given to us.

Within this Kingdom, we are assured of being provided of everything we need to sustain us daily. Romans 14:17 says, after all the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but instead it is living a life of righteousness and heart peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. In other words, it's not found to be a part of the tangibleness of things outside of you that go into or on the body, but is found on the inside where the Spirit of God tabernacles within you. Instead of living your life dictated by the circumstances that surround and mold you, you are to live allowing the Spirit of God from within to perfect you as you dictate and create the world around you to be as God intends it to be. Therefore, the Kingdom of God is in the Holy Spirit which dwells within you as a Believer!

Jesus also tells us that the Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13). Many of us have heard this parable used to describe many things, all relating to the sowing and reaping of harvests in our lives, especially the parable's intent by Jesus to be the wonderful harvest of souls for the God's Kingdom.

Most importantly, since we are told that the first thing we should seek is the Kingdom of God and His righteousness concerning everything in our lives, then we should seek God's way of doing and being right. God says His ways and thoughts are higher than ours, therefore we should always be seeking His higher purposes through our thinking, meditation, decisions, words, and actions. And when we are obedient to this, then not only will all the things that God knows we need be provided, but also the good life He has prepared and predestined for us will be within the paths of our lives at its appointed time. If we are willing and obedient, we shall eat the good of the land (Isaiah 1:19).

You possess the keys to this home!!! In believing Christ to be the Son of the living God, you have been given the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. With those keys, you have the ability to declare and decree what is to be proper and lawful for you on the earth. Whatever is already lawful and proper in the Heavens is what you have the right to loose through your words of authority for yourself and your family on this earth. And whatever has already declared to be improper and unlawful in the Heavens, you have the authority to bind this activity from operating within your life and family here on earth (Matthew 16:19).

Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Father caused us to be born anew into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade because it is reserved just for you within the Heavenly realm of His Kingdom, and is being guarded by God's power through your faith (1Peter 1:3-5). Within this realm, you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, God's own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1Peter 2:9).

Can you truly imagine that you live here in the earth as a king, having the same authority and rulership as royalty. The Kingdom of the Heavens here on earth in which you dwell is where you rule and reign. When your words align with the Heavens, your word is the final authority! Ecclesiastes 8:4 says the word of a king is authority and power, and who can say to him, What are you doing? The king is never reprimanded by that which is subject to him. His decrees are like laws that go forth into the land that must be established and obeyed. Do you see how much power you possess within the Kingdom of the Heavens? Have you shown yourself worthy of a share in this Kingdom? Have you submitted to believe and obey the voice of the Father Who beckons you to live with Him in this Kingdom? Have you submitted to allow Jesus to be Lord over your life and submit to the calling and purposes that were predestined for you by the Father?

Glory Realm Living Is Life Inside The Kingdom of the Heavens

The Greek word for Kingdom or Kingdom of God is Basileia, which is an ancient Greek word meaning royal place. Glory Realm Living is life within the realm of a royal place, a place of royal power, kingship, dominion and rule. Of course, we are learning that this is not an actual tangible kingdom, but rather the right and authority to rule within the spiritual realm. Within this realm, you have been conferred with dignity and are distinguished as king. You have been clothed with power, and are part of a divine guidance and inspiration of God's government that is subject to the will of our High Priest and King of kings. The Kingdom of the Heavens is that perfect order of things which the Father establishes. You as king make the decrees, and the Father establishes them for you (Job 22:28).

Within this Kingdom, we move by the Spirit of God going forth doing the greater works of the High Priest... the dead are raised, the sick are miraculously healed, and the powers that are hostile to God are vanquished. The wrongs which burden our present circumstances are brought to justice and exalted to the perfect order of things which already exist in the Heavens. Our Kingdom is a divine City of God's fortunes and blessings and benefits, which He aligned us to partake of because of the completed work of the Cross. This universe in which we physically live is subject to God's royal dominion through us. We are here on earth to advance the interests and intents of this Heavenly Kingdom.

In this realm, we live under open Heavens in great expectation of seeing the goodness of God every single day! Jesus opened the Heavens 2000 years ago. Jesus is God's Love Letter to us willed with great and precious promises. Deuteronomy 28 tells us about some of those promises, and of the treasury He opens and makes available to us, where the rain and the acceleration of God's Presence comes powerfully into our lives. Position yourself to live abundantly in the atmosphere of His Glory. The angels of the Heavens are waiting for you to give them something to do. They hearken to the words of God to help carry out the destinies of those within this Covenant. They garrison around you to divinely protect you according to the will God has for your life.

A place where supernatural is natural. A place where authority and power distinguish you as His own. We have so very much to be thankful for, especially that our names are written above, and that we are marked as one of those belonging to the Kingdom of the Heavens, even here on the earth! So the next time you're asked, Where do you live? Instead of letting your brain automatically respond with your physical location, allow your spirit to respond, reminding you of that royal place you live within the realm of God's Glory!

As we give thanks this week, we are reminded that our way of living is to be in constant gratitude for all God has done and continues to do for us! LIVE OUT LOUD IN THE REALM OF GOD'S GLORY TODAY! HAPPY THANKSGIVING & MUCH LOVE TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY! MWAH!!!

THE HEAVENS... It Is Finished!

And Jesus said, "It Is Finished!" (John 19:30)

Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished (vs. 28)... said, "It Is Finished!"

THAT VERY MOMENT, because of the completed work of the Cross, we were fully restored in the Heavenlies, and brought close again to God and His Glory... just as if we had never eaten from the tree. Jesus died so there would always be abundance and more than enough for us, therefore we can expect to experience the goodness of God. We can expect the grace, favor and mercy of what we don't deserve, but now have because of Jesus Christ. And according to Ephesians 2:6 Amp., God raised us up together with Christ and made us sit down together, giving us joint seating with Him in the Heavenlies. Therefore, as Believers, we should be living and operating out of the Heavenly realms... living in the Heavenly Realm of God's Glory!

Through Glory Realm Living, we've referenced many times Colossians 3, which says that if we have been raised with Christ to a new life, then we are to aim at and set our mind and affections on things that are above, where Christ is, not on the things that are on the earth. Our new and real lives are now hidden in God with Christ. The Bible says we should seek first the Kingdom of God, which means we must remain Kingdom-minded as Jesus did when He walked the earth... living from a Heavenly mind towards the earth, not from earthly mind towards the Heavens. Although Jesus lived in the earth as a carpenter, He knew that His real life was hidden in the Father to be about His Father's business. And this should be our agenda as well, being about our Father's business in whatever He has for us to do, because Jesus has now TOTALLY equipped us to do so through the finished work of the Cross. Jesus is the Ever-living One Who died, but is now alive forevermore and possesses the keys of hell and death (Revelation 1:18). WE HAVE THE KEYS BACK, AND WE POSSESS THE KINGDOM!!!

I hope you are enjoying these series on "The Heavens"... as we've seen how God wants to bow down the Heavens on your behalf in times of trouble... how we're made in the image and likeness of the Father and the Heavens... and about all the many levels and facets, storehouses and rooms of the Heavens, the abode of God, the angels, saints, spirits yet to be born, and the storms. We have available to us through authors who reveal many of their Heavenly visitations to tell us about the glorious Throne Room of God, Storehouses of Healings, Blessings, Creative Miracles, Creative Inventions... the Store Rooms of Music, Tears, and the Heavenly Library with Books of Destiny, mysteries, knowledge and wisdom... Heavens' Glorious Multi-Facets!!! Next week, we'll dig deeper into the Kingdom of Heaven in which we are a part of here on the earth!

It is important that we absorb this mindset from God that, "He made us sit down together, giving us joint seating with Christ in the Heavenlies!" That is POWERFUL! Because... even though you are here on this earth, your real life is in Heaven right now with Christ. And that is how you are to be a part of the greater works of Christ because you are joined together with Him in Heaven. If you've asked Jesus to come into your heart, then He has washed away ALL your sin. And if you've yielded and submitted your life and heart to Him, then He is perfecting you into the person He wants you to be... a person fully equipped for the greater works of sowing His love, salvation and miracles into the lives of others, as His signs and wonders follow you as a Believer.

Of course, the deceiver is here in the earth attempting to deceive you into thinking that the finished work of the Cross is not good enough (just like he deceived Adam and Eve), and that this world's system holds the keys to the abundance that you seek. And many people, including Christians, buy into these lies of thinking that the world has more to offer and that this system is set up as "the" path for them to follow. They then fall into following after its system of thinking, reasoning, and worrying day after day. Although they are saved, they are still trapped in living from their old mindsets, old identity and old nature. Satan continually tries to get us to focus on our past and on ourselves to the point of selfishness and self-centeredness, because he knows that man loves his own life. The Bibles even lets us know that to overcome, it's done because of the Blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony, and NOT loving our lives to the enduring of death itself (Revelation 12:11). God's true order is to live from our spirit, not our flesh.

Only God has the TRUE ANOINTING, the enemy can only present a counterfeit. Christ is that Anointing in which we possess in our hearts. In receiving Christ, we've now been smeared with the oil of His True Anointing which has the power to destroy yokes and bondages off our lives and remove the world's burdens. In the beginning, when God ended all His work which He had done, the Heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And God saw EVERYTHING that He had made, and it was very good, and He approved it completely (Genesis 1:31 - 2:2). God's Glory was there in the beginning!!! And now Jesus has restored us to this same Glory!!! And God tells us in His Word that we'll go from one level of Glory to another!!! YES!!!

Then along came the deceiver from the very beginning saying, "Can it really be that God said these things to you?... for God knows that in the day you eat it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the difference between good and evil and blessing and calamity" (Genesis 3:1, 5). Satan said this fully knowing that God had created us to be in His Image, we resembled the Heavens in the beginning... knowing only good! And the deceiver is still saying this to saints today, "Did God really say that???"... trying to get you to doubt God and be in unbelief. He constantly tries to snatch away the identity we received when we were raised up together with Christ. But, Jesus' Blood was good enough to cleanse you and make you righteous. And because we have Jesus and God's Spirit, we now have the gift of discernment to always distinguish between the good and evil things (Philippians 1:10, Hebrews 5:14).

Believers, I pray that you do not place any power in these lies from the enemy, but instead BELIEVE THE TRUTH that has been laid out before you, because Hebrews 10:14 let's us know that the Lord has completely cleansed and perfected FOREVER, in ONE offering, those of us who have been consecrated and made holy. The price that was paid was very thorough and complete, lacking in nothing -- You are now "perfectly hidden" in Christ with God. And living that hidden, powerful life allows God to see you blameless and gives you the abundance of EVERYTHING you will ever need.

The Word declares that by the Father's divine power, He has given us EVERYTHING that pertains to life and godliness, including the glory of the Heavens (2Peter 1:3). And He has blessed us in Christ with EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING in the Heavenly realm (Ephesians 1:3). Heavenly Glory belongs to us! Ephesians 4:10 tells us that, He Who descended is the very same as He Who also has ascended high above ALL THE HEAVENS, that His Presence might fill all things, the whole universe, from the lowest to the highest. Jesus, our High Priest, now intervenes for us because He is "perfectly adapted" to our needs, because He is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has been separated from sinners and given the highest place of honor, being exalted higher than the Heavens (Hebrews 7:26).

The Bible tells us that we've been given authority and power to trample upon the enemy, and his serpents and scorpions, and we now possess the physical and mental strength and ability over all the power that the enemy possesses; and NOTHING shall in any way harm us. Yet, we are to not to rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to us, but WE ARE TO REJOICE THAT OUR NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN (Luke 10:19-20)! God doesn't want us "whooping it up" over the fact that we can beat up on the devil and snuff him out... this is to be supernaturally natural and normal activity for us as Believers. But we are to be overjoyed that our names are WRITTEN in Heaven!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO!!!

From the Heavens, God continually pours forth to us His wisdom, revelation, insight, ideas, concepts, witty inventions, giving us power to attain wealth, and blessing us with every empowering gift to align us with prosperity. Our lives are now insync with Heaven's abundance. We are to live our lives filled with His mercy, favor and righteousness. His Peace to us should be greater than we could ever understand; and His indescribable glory-filled joy should be abiding with us in all we do. We don't have to worry about what others are doing or wonder if someone will get ahead or know more than we do, because the gifts and purposes that God bestows upon us makes room for us to go forth being very unique and special to God. God knows us and blesses us individually according to the desires of the heart. It Is All Finished and Completed by Christ for us to LIVE ABUNDANTLY NOW!

In studying Heaven, I have pages and pages of handwritten notes and scripture references, and could only touch the tip of the iceberg in revealing various aspects of the Heavens and how this relates to us and our everyday living. Next blog moves on to living life here on earth in the Kingdom of the Heavens!!! MUCH LOVE TO YOU, AND I DESIRE YOU TO BE ABUNDANTLY BLESSED TODAY!!!

THE HEAVENS... Levels & Firmaments of the Heavens


THE HEAVENS
Display The Glory of God

Psalms 19:1-2...
THE HEAVENS declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork. Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night shows forth knowledge.

The Old Testament Hebrew word for Heaven is Shamayim which is the Heavens (always plural in Hebrew), and is defined as the sky, the abode of the stars, the visible universe, the atmosphere, the air, and THE ABODE OF GOD. The Heavens is the firmament that seems to be spread out over the globe, as supported on foundations and columns... Remember in the blog about God bowing down the Heavens to help David. 2Samuel 22:8 tells us that the foundations of the Heavens trembled and shook. And Job 26:11 says that the pillars of the Heavens tremble at God's rebuke.

This blog may be a bit lengthy in revealing the various levels and firmaments of the Heavens, but I pray you'll take the time to read it and discover more of God's glorious dimensions of Glory Realm Living as we continue with our series on The Heavens!!!

The primary word used for Heaven, ShMYM (Sha mayim), actually comes from two Hebrew words which mean sh(a) FIRE, mayim WATER. In Matthew 3:2 PNT, we are told to continually repent because the Kingdom of the Heavens has come near, or is at hand. Matthew 3:11 says we are baptized in water because of repentance, but are to also be baptized in the Holy Spirit and in fire. Matthew 5:3 and 5:10 goes on to say that the Heavens belong to the humble person who has repented of the world's system and wisdom and relies solely on God. Also the Heavens belong to the one who suffers persecution for his faith in Christ and God's Word. For theirs is the Kingdom of the Heavens... this is our wedding band we hold dearly that signifies us as the Bride of Christ! Isn't this amazing... we belong to the Kingdom of the Heavens and the Bridegroom!!! Therefore, we should know about that to which we belong.

3 LEVELS, SIMPLY PUT...

Heaven is a real place! It is a literal destination, not some dream or imagined vision. God has revealed to all of us many of the realities of Heaven all throughout the Holy Scriptures.

The First Heaven is an atmospheric Heaven. This is the atmosphere around the earth. It is where the birds fly and the winds blow. This is where showers, storms, mists, vapors, and clouds are formed. The sky is the place the angel was referring to in Acts 1:11 when he asked the disciples why they were "gazing up into Heaven." Jesus, when He was talking to His Father, "lifted up His eyes to Heaven" (John 17:1), or toward the sky.

The Second Heaven is the Heaven of space. This is the region of the sun, the moon, and the stars. It is mentioned in the bible in many places (a few references are: Genesis 22:17; Deuteronomy 4:19; Job 38:31-33; Isaiah 13:10; Matthew 24:29).

The Third Heaven is the destination of the righteous, however, it is beyond the atmosphere and the starry skies. This place is what the apostle Paul referred to when he wrote, "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third Heaven" (2Corinthians 12:2 NIV).

Heaven is also the region of the immediate presence of God: "For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us" (Hebrews 9:24). Heaven is where God lives. When Jesus taught us to pray in Matthew 6:9, He said "to our Father in Heaven." In 1Kings 8:30, Heaven is called the dwelling place of God. In Psalm 11:4, it is called God's Holy Temple and the place where His Throne is. There, in the Temple of God's divine majesty, His excellent glory is revealed in the most conspicuous manner. It is a sacred place of light, joy, and glory. We don't know exactly where the location is, but often in the Bible, Heaven is indicated as being "up." Therefore, all the Heavens surround us.

We know that God Almighty is in Heaven. There He and Jesus Christ are the central focus of saints, angels, and all worshipping beings. What glorious company there is in Heaven! Angels are there, because Jesus said, "In Heaven angels always see the face of My Father Who is in Heaven" (Matthew 18:10). The saints are there because Jesus promised us, "Where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:3). We are told in 1Peter 1:4 that an inheritance has been reserved for us in Heaven - an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled, and that will not fade away. Other Scripture references are:
  • Nehemiah 9:6, You alone are the Lord; You have made Heaven, the Heaven of Heavens, with all their host, the earth and everything on it, the seas and all that is in them, and You preserve them all. The host of Heaven worships You.
  • Job 22:12, 14, Is not God in the height of Heaven?... Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see, and He walks above the circle of Heaven.
  • Psalm 102:19, For He looked down from the height of His Sanctuary; from Heaven the Lord viewed the earth.
  • Psalm 103:19, The Lord has established His Throne in Heaven, and His Kingdom rules over all.
  • Psalm 148:13, Let them praise the Name of the Lord, for His Name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and Heaven.
  • Hebrews 12:22, But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels.

As mentioned, Heavens is always plural in Hebrew, with various levels of the Heavens being noted here. Some of the following is from an excerpt found in the Power New Testament Revealing Jewish Roots by William J. Morford, along with Scriptures I've noted and my own study reference material that support these findings. This excerpt listed the names of the seven levels as: Vilon, Rakia, Shechakim, Zevul, Maon, Machon, and Aravot. My further studies began to reveal that there are various opinions among the philosophers and Sages as to the number of the firmaments. But the one according to the Talmud/Resh Lakish held the opinion of these seven, which have been generally accepted.

My hope is that this blog will add to your knowledge about the Heavens, all its "awe and wonderfulness", and further enhance your Glory Realm Living experience. I pray this series of the Heavens is interesting and invaluable to you.

The Seven Firmaments of Heaven

The first three --Vilon, Rakia, Shechakim -- represent the universe, the visible night sky, the sun, and the atmosphere. Each of the other four levels is both physical and spiritual. Three levels are translated Habitation: Zevul, Maon, Machon. Three levels are populated: Zevul, with the celestial Jerusalem; Maon, with the bands of ministering angels; and Aravot, with various heavenly beings, and the spirits of the saints. That is probably the level Paul referred to as the third Heaven in 2Corinthians 12:2.

Vilon (Wilo) is where God sits above the circle (the horizon) of the earth... it is He Who stretches out the Heavens as a curtain (Vilon), and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in" (Isaiah 40:22). Vilon retires in the morning and comes out in the evening, and renews the work of creation daily. Vilon is the entire universe, going beyond what we can see with telescopes. Vilon is the curtain, and the Hebrew word used in Isaiah 40:22 is doq, pronounced like coke, which means curtain.

  • This firmament is the brightest of all, and it illuminates the world. At night it is closed, so the world is dark. Some say the opposite is true, that it is open by night and closed by day. Psalm 104:30 lets us know that the face of the earth constantly puts on the aspect of newness. There is a daily renewing by a new and beautiful sunrise each and every morning.

Rakia (Raqia) is where God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the Heavens... And God set them in the firmament (Rakia) of the Heavens to give light upon the earth" (Genesis 1:17). This is a reference to the stars, sun, moon, and planets: outer space where the various heavenly bodies move in their prescribed orbits and/or maintain relationships in constellations, solar systems, galaxies, etc. Rakia is the part of the Heavens that can be seen.

Shechakim (Shehakim) is where in Psalm 78:23, God commanded the skies (Shechakim) above and opened the doors of Heaven; and He rained down manna upon them to eat. This is the place where manna is prepared for the righteous. It is also the source of mercy to help people in times of trouble. Sometimes the feeling of miraculously getting by is our manna while on the way to His Promises being fulfilled. His Word is still miraculously feeding us. Shechakim is the atmosphere.

  • We decree into the atmosphere and God establishes it for us (Job 22:28).

Zevul (Zebul) is the location for "I have surely built You a house (the temple) of habitation (Zevul), a settled place for You to dwell in forever" (1Kings 8:13). This is the location of celestial Jerusalem. How do we know that Zevul is this place? Because Isaiah 63:15 records, Look down from Heaven and behold from the habitation (Zevul) of Your holiness and Your glory.

  • Hebrew 12:22 and Revelation 21:2 Amp. - references the Heavenly Jerusalem.
  • Psalm 11:4 Amp. - The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord's throne is in Heaven. Zevul contains the upper or supernal Temple, which parallels the lower temple built for His presence.

Maon (Ma'on) is where "The Lord will command His loving kindness in the daytime and in the night His song shall be with me, a prayer to the God of my life" (Psalm 42:8). This is where His ministering angels stay, singing in the night. We know that this is Heaven because according to Deuteronomy 26:15, He looks down from His holy habitation (Maon) from Heaven and blesses His people.

  • Maon is also said to be the firmament populated with the myriads of angels who sing before God.

Machon is the location of the storehouses of snow, rain, hail, whirlwinds, storms, etc. Deuteronomy 28:12 says, "The Lord shall open unto you His good treasury..." and some versions record it as "...the storehouse of His bounty to give the rain." We know that this is Heaven because God hears in heaven, the habitation (Machon) of His dwelling.." (1Kings 8:39). I knew there was a reason why I LOVE RAIN!!! It's anointed from the Heavens' storehouse.

  • Additional Scripture references are: Psalm 135:7 ...Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings the wind out of His storehouses; Jeremiah 10:13 and 51:16 says, When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the Heavens, and He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind out from His treasuries... from His storehouses.
  • 1Kings 8:39 Amp. - Then hear in Heaven, Your dwelling place, and forgive and act and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart You know, for You and You only know the hearts of all the children of men.

Aravot (Araboth) is that in which are righteousness, judgment, charity, the storehouses of life, of peace, of blessing, and the spirits of the righteous. Those living here include the Ophannim, Cherubim, and Seraphim, celestial beings described as never sleeping, but watching or guarding the Throne of God. Also in Aravot are the ministering angels. Psalm 68:4 says to Cast up a highway for Him Who rides upon the clouds (Aravot) through the deserts. The storehouse of life contains the force of life for all those yet to be born because when God finished creation in Genesis 2:1, He had made everything that would ever be. That's why God KNOWS you sooo intimately... you were with Him from the beginning of creation:

  • Genesis 1:31 through 2:4 Amp. - And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day. Thus the Heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done. And God blessed (spoke good of) the seventh day, set it apart as His own, and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all His work which He had created and done. This is the history of the heavens and of the earth when they were created. In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the Heavens -- Aravot contains life, peace, blessing and success. Also the souls of the righteous, both those who have already completed their journey through the physical world, and those who have not yet been born.
  • Ephesians 1:4, 2:10 Amp. - Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
  • Genesis 1:26-28 Amp. - God made mankind in His image, after the likeness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit... In the likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them!
  • The ministering angels are in this firmament. Psalm 104:4 and Hebrews 1:7 tell us, And indeed in reference to the angels He says, The One Who makes His angels spirits or messengers winds, and His ministers flames of fire. Isaiah 6:2 records that above Him stood the seraphim.

And these are the levels and firmaments, along with scriptures that support the analogies of the various dimensions and storehouses of the Heavens.

I hope that you're enjoying these series about the Heavens. There's more to come. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit this site. If you've not read past blogs... take the time to do so, you'll be abundantly blessed. I love you dearly! Until next time, live passionately within the Realm of God's Glory!!!

THE HEAVENS... In His Image

In Matthew's recording of Chapter 6, verses 9 and 10, Jesus teaches us that we are to pray like this...

To our Father Who is in Heaven, that His Name be kept Holy. And we are to pray that our Father's Kingdom come, and His Will be done "on earth as it is in Heaven."

HEAVEN... Of course this should be our Hope and Eternal Glorious Home (Jn 14:1-7). But what about our Father's Will being done NOW in the earth... AS IT IS ALREADY BEING DONE RIGHT NOW IN HEAVEN!!!

This is the first of a small series of blogs about Heaven... to allow God to reveal Heaven to us, so that we might align our thinking about Heaven, and God's Will being done NOW in the earth. At the end of this blog, I've also listed a few books about Heaven. There is more to come in future blogs, about "The 7 Levels of Heaven" and "The Kingdom of Heaven" in which we live in here on earth, and more. Hopefully this series will reveal truths and mysteries encountered throughout the Word, and in my personal study and fellowship time with the Lord, as we incorporate God's Will concerning Heaven into our daily living within the Realm of His Glory.

I will not even pretend to make you think that I know all that God wants to reveal to us about Heaven. I'm sure it has many facets to it, as does our multi-faceted God. Although our desire is to KNOW Him more intimately, even the many saints that have had the glorious pleasure to experience real life visitations with Him and return to share them with us cannot begin to unpeel ALL the layers of the Father, His Kingdom and Heaven. But I praise God that through Jesus, we have all been brought near to the Father, even receiving His Holy Spirit because of the completed work of the Cross!

Some may wonder, is Heaven even real? Exactly where is it? Will I ever get to see it? Will God have me to visit there and return to tell about it as some others have done? Will I see it in a vision or in the realm of the Spirit as John the Revelator and some others have seen? And just what does it have to do with my life right now?

The Bible has a multitude of references on Heaven and the Heavenly New Jerusalem throughout the Old and New Testaments. But my intent as I stated before is to share what I have learned from some of my own personal studies and findings on Heaven.

First of all, Jesus said we should pray for our Father's Kingdom to come, and for our Father's Will to be done here with us on earth, as it is done in Heaven. Yet, here on earth, we have at times experienced brokenness in our homes, lack, poverty, sickness, failure, emotional challenges... just barely getting by in life. And we know none of these exist in Heaven! I also recognize that many of us still struggle in certain areas of living, like with our health, relationships, desiring our loved ones saved, and our finances, or lack thereof. It seems as though the enemy sits with his flipchart of distresses, disasters and distractions, eagerly waiting for us to awaken to him so that he can begin to structure our day. But remember, the Father causes and allows EVERYTHING that goes on in our lives for His Glory and for our good... to perfect us for what He has for us! (Hebrews 13:21)

And God said that we are only destroyed because of what we do not know; and He does not want us destroyed! (Hosea 4:6; 2Peter 3:9) So, it seems that we are much more aware and knowledgeable of the disasters and the woes at times, than we are of the victory that God has already promised and provided for us. This was my heart's intent through Glory Realm Living, that you might come to intimately know the Father, and His Will for your life. And as I've said many times before, through His Son Jesus our Messiah, we have been put back into the path of God's divine glory, order and favor for us. But to get there, we must choose to walk within His path after the Spirit of God (Romans 8:5; 1Cor 14:1), and not after our own way, according to the flesh and lusts of what we want in life.

Therefore, God's Kingdom that we're to pray to come from Heaven is at hand. And within that Kingdom is God's Salvation, Righteousness, Peace, Joy, Divine Health, Wealth, Abundance, Wholeness and Completeness. The Word teaches us that we have been given the authority to bind the forces of darkness here on the earth, because what we bind and declare to be illegal and unlawful within His Kingdom on earth is ALREADY in Heaven considered to be illegal and unlawful (Matt 16:19; 18:18). Sickness and poverty are not allowed in Heaven, so God wants for us to declare with our words that whatever is not allowed in Heaven... DO NOT allow it into our lives here on the earth. Instead, we are to loose, through our words and decrees, the Kingdom of God and all the abundance and glory that Heaven has to offer. And that, and ONLY THAT, should be allowed into our lives and into the lives of those we love.

This Kingdom of Heaven is within us! (Luke 17:21) The Bible says that the Greater One Jesus lives on the inside of us (Rom 8:11), which makes us "More Than Conquerers in Him!" (Rom 8:37) Be like your Father, and call those things that be not, acting as though they already exist for you (Rom 4:17). Decree into the atmosphere that surrounds you, so that God can establish His Will for you (Job 22:28). Numerous scriptures tell us the the Word of God is our truth and our life, therefore everything else is just the world lying to us. I promise you that if you submit your will to His Will, He will PERFECT EVERYTHING that concerns you. (Psalm 138:8) Then as we pray, the Spirit of God and Jesus intercede to the Father on our behalf (Rom 8:27, 34)... so Jesus even presents prayers for us to the Father that have no uncleanness, no selfishness, prayers that are presented "worthily" to the Father on our behalf!!!

YOU SEE... IN THE KINGDOM, YOU WIN AT EVERY TURN!!!

So HEAVEN is to be a very real part of our everyday lives. It does not matter if you cannot see it right now... you enter into Heaven's Dimension and into the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth BY FAITH!!! Our believing God makes it real for us, then God intervenes to manifest and establish everything that we decree and speak according to the Word of God and His Will for our lives. HALLELUAH!!! God wants you to win! He set it up through Jesus so that you've ALREADY WON!

The Father created us in His Image! Do you know how awesome that is! So we need to "Wake Up" to that... HIS IMAGE! HIS IMAGE! HIS IMAGE! We are wired to be JUST LIKE HIM. And because God knew we could never do it on our own, He sent His Son to rid our lives of all the perverseness, and reconnect us to His glory to succeed... and sent His Holy Spirit to help us everyday. So if we're in His Image... His Image is not sick, it is not broke, it is surely not wicked, it is not lacking, it is not without what is needed to live victorious, glorious lives in Christ. We have God's Word; we have the Name of Jesus; we are seated in Christ in the Heavenlies; we have dominion and authority to rule and reign; we are Kings and Priests... and we're wired to be lovers. We live by a different government, rulership and order than the world.

So consecrate yourselves (Joshua 3:5) for His Promises. Do NOT allow the Messiah's crucifying experience on that cross and all the sin and perverseness He took on your behalf to be in vain for you. God knows the end from the beginning, so He knew your whole life before the foundations of this world, and had you purposefully to be born FOR THIS TIME, FOR THIS SEASON, FOR THIS HOUR. Jesus already paid for ALL of your sins... A VERY HIGH PRICE!!! But it has been done by our Father Who loves you sooooooo much, so that you would have abundant living, not living like everybody else, but like Him... in HIS IMAGE! (you pause and think about that!)

So as I've heard said on TV... LIVE OUT LOUD!!! Because you live on earth within the Kingdom of Heaven!!! And that's something to talk about.

Below, I've listed a few blessed people who've had wonderful visitations to Heaven and wrote books about their experiences. I've not yet read these books, but wanted to list them as materials for further studies of interest.

HEAVEN... GOD Wants To "Bow The Heavens & Come To Your Rescue!!"

GOD wants to "bow the heavens and come down" on behalf of your cry!

Prepare for your supernatural heavenly encounter... THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S!!!


In 2Samuel 21 there was a three-year famine during this time, and the Lord told David that it was because of the uncleanness of Saul's hands, and what Saul had done. David went forth making every effort to atone and make things right. After a time, vs. 15 lets us know that there was war again with Israel. But during this war, David became faint. Once again, David was up against GIANTS!!! The Bible even records that one man (vs. 20) was of great stature and had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; he also was a descendant of the giants. CAN YOU IMAGINE!!!

YET... in Chapter 22, David did not begin his cry to the Lord telling God how big these giants were, instead David began to speak to the Father about WHO AND HOW BIG GOD IS!!! He said: The LORD is my ROCK and my FORTRESS and my DELIVERER. My GOD, my ROCK, in HIM will I take refuge; my SHIELD and the HORN of my SALVATION; my STRONGHOLD and my REFUGE, my SAVIOR -- YOU SAVE ME FROM VIOLENCE! I call on YOU, WHO is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies!!!

David cried out to God in his distress, and the Word says... GOD HEARD DAVID'S VOICE from His temple... David's cry came into His ears... the earth reeled and quaked, the foundations of the heavens trembled and shook...

AND GOD BOWED THE HEAVENS AND CAME DOWN!!! (vs. 10) ALL of the Heavens came to the rescue!!! David said God delivered him because He was delighted in him (vs. 20). The Lord rewarded David according to his uprightness with Him, and compensated and benefited him according to the cleanness of his hands (vs. 21). HALLELUAH!!!

I pray this prepares you to be excited that God WANTS to bow the heavens and come down on your behalf. You're His sons and daughters; You're His BELOVED!!! Right now, many are encountering famine during this economy, and feeling faint as David was from constant battle against the enemy. But DO NOT take part in that famined economy that the world is in. Arise, in new strength, and continually walk upright before Him Always! And as you cry out to God, PREPARE FOR YOUR SUPERNATURAL HEAVENLY ENCOUNTER!!! YOU JUST GOTTA LOVE LIVING IN THE DIMENSION & REALM OF HIS GLORY!!

If we are to pray God's Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, then we need to know what Heaven is like... The Father is opening before you His Good Treasury and hidden wisdom and secrets about Heaven and the Kingdom of Heaven that's here on the earth... where you dwell! EXPECT TO COME SOON... BLOG ON: THE 7 LEVELS OF HEAVEN, followed by KINGDOM OF HEAVEN HERE ON EARTH!!! MUCH LOVE TO YOU!

10-10-10 God's Glory Invaded The Atmosphere!

10-10-10
TODAY... The Fullness of God's Glory is Invading the Earth's Atmosphere!

God's Glory & Best for you is even trying to invade your circumstances! The angels are hearkening to the words being spoken. The set time of our favor is here and has pierced the atmosphere on our behalf!


God Is Love... And when He created you, He wired you for Love because you were made in His image. He created you to be "just like your Father... Him!" Genesis 1:27 lets us know that before man was ever physically formed, God created the male and female of mankind in His very own image and likeness... as a spiritual being! At that very moment, YOU were created from the very DNA of His Love, and designed for spiritual things and God's purposes! And that is why you are in this world, but not of it. And because you are a supernatural being, the supernatural should be your normal way of living... not as the world has taught you to live, but as God CREATED you to live!

Ephesians 1:4 of the Amplified Bible lets us know that "Even in His love He chose us and actually picked us out for Himself as His own in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy consecrated and set apart for Him, and blameless in His sight, even above reproach (disgrace), before Him in love." There are 7 levels of heaven that I'll tell you about in a later blog, but one level is Aravot which has a storehouse of life containing "the force of life" for all those yet to be born... where you were before He knit you to the physical being that was formed in your mother's womb. Because when God finished His Creation in Genesis 2:1, he had made everything that would ever be! Therefore, before the foundation of the world, you were specifically chosen and destined for this time!

Before Earth's Creation, the Bible also tells us that God entered this atmosphere and saw an empty waste of darkness that was void and without form. Yet, He did not call it by what He saw. As the Spirit of God was hovering and brooding, in Genesis 1:3, He called it light, saying "Let there be light!" And this light was not the illumination of the sun (which was shown to be created later in verse 14), but this light was the Heavenly Luminaries of God's Glory invading the Earth's atmosphere!!! And as spiritual beings in His image, we're wired to do the same as our Father, not call our situation the way we see it, but call it what we know it should be in accordance with His "Vast Riches and Richness of this Glory!" We should call our bodies and relationships "healed and whole in the Name of Jesus," our financial status "wealthy in the Name of Jesus," our bills "paid in the Name of Jesus!" We were the ones He chose to be a part of His Glory for this time.

In 2 Corinthians 4:6, God said, light will shine out of darkness, and this is the light that shines in our hearts to reveal and illuminate the knowledge of the Glory of God in the Presence of Jesus Messiah. This knowledge we were to have was "of the GLORY OF GOD" in us through Christ. Christ came to restore us to this Glory... Shining in, through and on us is the very same Glory Adam wore and possessed before eating of the tree. And just as the enemy deceived Adam and Eve back then causing them to lose this Glory that was so much a part of their lives... it was their very atmosphere, is the same way he is deceiving believers today. The enemy does not want you to know about this PRESENCE OF GOD'S GLORY that became a part of you when you received Christ!

Through Christ, you have been restored to this Glory!!! And NOW the Glory of God has invaded our atmosphere during this season. It cannot be seen by everyone in the Earth, but can be a big part of your life by you simply believing it, receiving it, and walking in obedience to Him for this Glory to invade your every circumstance, SEALING YOUR VICTORY TODAY! This is your New Dimension of Supernatural Living!

I'm totally enjoying 10-10-10 and hanging out with Holy Spirit today! And because I know God has turned everything around, I have already experienced the miraculous today! Until next time, LOVE YOU!

WE'VE FINALLY ENTERED INTO THE DIMENSION OF THE FULLNESS OF GOD'S GLORY!

The excitement of this new season is in the atmosphere... We've finally entered into the Dimension of the Fullness of God's Glory! This is the "Dimension of Nothing Missing... Nothing Broken... Nothing Wanting!" This is the "Dimension of Unmeasurable Blessings... Unmeasurable Favor... Unmeasurable Manifestations of the Supernatural Miraculous Abundant Provision of God!!!

The Prophet Isaiah said for us to "Arise and shine for our light has come, and the Glory of the Lord shall come upon us... and nations shall come to the light of our rising and the light of our Glory that God shall manifest in and through us." This particular Glory that Isaiah is speaking of is the "Kabod" of God! Kabod is the Hebrew word for Glory, and is so much more expressive than the text reveals. The Kabod of God is the very heavy, weighty Presence of God Himself, along with His abundance, wealth and riches!

HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!!

Be sure you're fulfilling your part to Arise and to Shine forth to others the light that God has already shed abroad in you... the very Presence of His Love that has been knitted to your heart through the Anointed One, Christ!

Don't miss this season of opportunity by stretching your Faith to BELIEVE that "THIS IS FOR YOU!"
  • The Unmeasurable Blessings, Favor & Supernatural Miraculous Manifestations

  • The Dimension of Nothing Missing, Broken or Wanting

  • The Kabod of His Presense, Abundance, Wealth and Riches

ALL FOR YOU! Through your repentence and forgiveness, you are seated within the Anointed One, Christ! And this Anointing is the "Burden-Removing, Yoke-Destroying Power" of God... removing bondanges of your circumstances and your past! It's Your Time & You've Entered Into the Dimension of His Glory!!!

BE BLESSED & ENJOY THIS NEW DIMENSION OF GLORY REALM LIVING!!!

Shake Off The Old... It does not belong in the REALM OF THE GLORY!!!

Shake off the Old... It does not belong in the REALM OF THE GLORY!!!
Today, I'm sharing a post from July 12, 2010, which I think is very appropriate during this mindset renewal. Allow these posts to take root within you so that you will become a powerful and effective force within the earth. Allow God's blessings to be multiplied to you in abundance.

When a baby elephant is born in a circus, they tie its leg to a stake with a strong chain. Over time, they gradually reduce the thickness of the chain. By the time the elephant is fully grown, its leg is only "held" by a flimsy piece of rope.

However, in the elephant's mind, it believes that its leg is still tied to the stake with a strong chain... feeling completely bound only by belief.

What do you believe?

You could say "a lifestyle of complete blessings, freedom, abundance, favor, nothing missing and nothing broken just isn't possible for you. " OR... You can test the strength of your rope AND BREAK FREE!!! Break free to live a life FILLED WITH BLESSINGS AND FAVOR AND ABUNDANCE!!!

"Whether you think you can, or think you can't -- you're right." Henry Ford

Within Glory Realm Living, you should not only believe that you can break free, but YOU SHOULD BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE FREE!!! All the things of the past that make us feel fearful, bad, hindered and restrained only "feel and seem" like strong chains, but they are definitely only flimsy ropes that can be shaken off.

GLORY REALM LIVING is a new Dimension of Living! Embrace It and Live It Out!

Until Next Time... Allow all of your senses to be in full awareness of the unseen that surrounds you!

I Do Whatever I Want???... Not According to the UNSEEN REALM!!!


You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose - Dr. Seuss

Hmmm... This leaves me to speculate. The thinking I'd adapted throughout my existence, until several years ago would have been in total agreement with Dr. Seuss, which was that my brain or mind would direct my feet and I could walk those feet into any space or direction I chose to go. That is... Until that one unsuspecting day when I was walking along, as normal, and encountered an overwelmingly unseen powerful force that insisted I would not take another step.

And that was not the only occurence of its kind! Talking about an encounter of a third kind was an understatement for what I was experiencing. At this invisible force's impulse timing, I was being pushed, shoved and pressed until breathless, and I was absolutely "no physical match" for how powerful it was. I could not push through it... I could not move away from it... I was captive until IT decided to move! Overall, I personally experienced an invisible spiritual realm that was fully alive and more real than EVERYTHING I could physically feel and see all around me.

Most importantly, our steps are to be ordered by God... as we follow after Him wholeheartedly. He will direct our steps through life's pathway. And our mind is to be as the mind of Christ, desiring to establish His will and purposes. SO MUCH FOR THE BRAIN AND FEET & DOING WHATEVER I WANT! PRAISE GOD FOR THAT!!!

Thank you for visiting today, and yes friends, I do have a point to the flow of this blog. There is more to come.

Until Next Time... Allow all of your senses to be in full awareness of the unseen that surrounds you!

Georgia Peach in the Big Apple Living It Up By Faith!

My Eastern Coast Road Trip Was Fantabulous!!!


This original peach departed Georgia while being spiritually uplifted by Katie Souza's Banking in the Glory CD... proceeding on through the Carolinas... slow-poking & tip-toeing Virgina's law-abiding territory... bypassing our nation's capital DC... then stopping in Maryland for a siesta with my son Devin. Spending time in Columbia's Howard County with him seemed to melt away the long, yet glory-filled hours of driving and riding. An express site tour of Columbia's quaint mall and beautiful people, a scrumptious dinner, and a visit to his beautiful 3 level home with 3 living areas and a mile of backyard space that they were readying for July 4th festivities will be forever remembered!

During the drive, I pressed and contended to continually abide within the Presence of Abba's Glory through everything I chose to do, say and hear... all the time keeping my focus on Him. This invited atmosphere is how I live in the realm of His Glory! I build an atmosphere that invites the invisible to be a part of my physical experiences... surrounding myself to mix what I can see and touch with His unseen supernatural and miraculous realm.

This blog will have more to come on showing you how to experience life inside this invisible realm....

Doubt & Fear Destroys Purpose



Having conceived of our purpose, we should mentally mark out a straight pathway to its achievement. Doubts and fears should be rigorously excluded. Purpose, energy, power to do, and all strong thoughts cease when doubt and fear creep in.

[James Allen, As A Man Thinketh]

Fear paralyzes and hinders progress of the intentions of Abba our Heavenly Father. He has put within you His divine will, wisdom and power to continually push forward through obstacles and challenges, and to succeed. Command fear to depart, and allow the Holy Spirit to work through you until Abba's every purpose is manifested and revealed within this physical realm.

Glory Realm Living will provide you the tools from the Word of God enabling you to live a life free from the devastation of fear, and instead to live fearlessly in a life lived powerfully and filled with love and a completely sound mind.


Regardless of the reason you may have not yet succeeded, it is ALL rooted in fear. Fear keeps you focused on the past, on crisis situations, and paralyzed from moving forward into your destiny. Even worry subtly finds its way into your mind, will and emotions, causing you to make decisions based on fear. Fear is destructive and is an obstacle that hinders success.

Walk in the Love of God, and in the Light of His Word & Will, and Live Powerfully in the Realm of His Glory!
