It’s one thing to understand the world we live in, but it’s another to comprehend the spiritual realm. The spiritual world is the world of spirits, and the earth we inhabit is a place where spirits manifest themselves. These spirits either originate from the kingdom of heaven, like you and me, or align themselves with the kingdom of darkness.

The latter are skilled in certain practices, knowing how to seal covenants with their master and how to set things in motion to harm even the children of God. There’s one crucial thing to understand: haven’t you heard stories of witches bringing death to God’s children?

This doesn’t happen because God is powerless or lacks the ability to act. It’s because, while God’s children are richly endowed by Him, they often adopt a posture that prevents them from fully utilizing God’s investments in them.

Why? Simply put, it’s fear.

Why? Because they worry: “If I do this, what will people say? How will I be treated?”

This used to be the case for many of us, but ever since we realized that God has called us to be stewards of mysteries, bringing forth truths that must save many, we decided not to remain silent to please others. When it comes to choosing between pleasing God or men, the choice is clear. This is why we have come to shed light on this topic.

Dear brothers and sisters, the world we live in is merely the outcome of work done in the spiritual realm. It is written in Genesis 1:1:
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”

I want to draw your attention to the first sentence, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth,” to help you understand that the spiritual world already existed, but what God created was the heavens. In the physical realm, He created the earth. Where was He when He created the heavens and the earth? He was somewhere! From that place, He created the heavens, where He is with His angels, and He created the earth. The heaven God created is a place where He placed His representation, though He Himself does not dwell there. That’s why in Revelation 4, it is said:

“God said, ‘Come up here,’ but when he arrived where God had told him to go, he saw that the One who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.“

If God truly lived in the heavens, He would have been the one John saw there, and He would have described Him in detail as He did with the elders and living creatures. John provided a lot of information about the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders, but he couldn’t describe the One he had gone to see.

He only said, “He had the appearance of…” because a representation is not the true form. I’m telling you that on earth, there are only representations of things in heaven. As children of God, you must understand that there are things in heaven that do not exist on earth.

We are in a season where knowledge is reaching the elites, and acquired knowledge is power—authority. The spiritual world is not a place where simply praying or fasting in the name of Jesus is enough. It’s a realm where the amount of knowledge you possess is crucial.

That’s why, before you pray to your Father in heaven to act, you must know how to pray to Him, how to present His Word to Him, and this requires a deep understanding of the Scriptures.

For this, you must be accompanied by the Holy Spirit who inspired those who wrote the Bible. When you are led by the Holy Spirit, He will reveal what He meant in what is written. That’s why it is written, “The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life” (2 Corinthians 3:6).

Sometimes God feels compelled, if I may say so, to take your spirit out of your body and give you crucial information so that you can:

• Truly understand the message;
• Effectively apply what He is conveying while you are outside your body.

If I gave out a phone number right now, many people would call to share their experiences, saying, “But I didn’t have the courage to speak about it.”

The spiritual world is the realm of work; the physical world is the realm of results. The occultists we criticize operate this way. They work in the spiritual realm, and physically, they see the results. The spiritual world is where things begin, and the physical world is where we materialize or manifest what God has done. God commands in the spiritual world, and we live out those commands in the physical world.

This is why those who influence the earth are not just those who pray, nor those who dress well, but those who know how to work in the spiritual realm. While you sleep at night, others are working—not on computers, but in prayer and through sacrifices. Likewise, there are people on the other side working in spectacular ways, and in the morning, they see the results.

Dear Christians, in light of all the information, scriptures, and experiences we’ve shared, take time to meditate and pray. May the God who spoke to the apostles, who revealed these things to us, help you to understand deeper truths. This is a complex topic that cannot be fully explained in a single discussion. However, we believe that with the help of the Holy Spirit, God will allow you to grasp what we couldn’t convey, and that He will further edify you.

I pray for you in the precious and powerful name of Jesus. Christ said that it was to your advantage that He goes, so that the Comforter may come. May the Holy Spirit help you understand the Scriptures! May He help you grasp what God intended in His Word! May the Holy Spirit visit you and enable you to grow, so you may begin to feed on the solid food found in God’s Word.

I feel compelled to pray for the sick. I don’t know what illness you are dealing with at the moment as I pray, but if you have faith in God and receive my prayer as one coming from a prophet, I release healing over you in the name of Jesus. May God’s powerful hand visit and bless you. And if the Lord has led you through similar experiences, continue to pray, continue to cling to God, and do not be afraid, for it is God who allowed it…
