- In this lesson we turn our attention to the creation of the invisible elements of God’s created order – the spirit realm – or, as the Bible calls them, the heavens. It is in this realm that spiritual beings live and operate, and where the authority of the church is exercised.

Essentially the creation can be described as comprising two realms: The Natural realm and the Spiritual realm. The following table compares some of the main characteristics of these two realms: Mankind, as a spiritual being living in a natural body, spans the two realms, existing and operating at once in both. Many in our modern materialistic socie...
At creation Adam was created in the very image of God. Essentially, man is a spiritual being, having a soul and living in a body. In this original estate the divide between natural and spiritual realms was so indistinct that Adam would not have even been aware of any distinction. On the one hand he could enjoy the delights of the garden around him,...
It was only with the fall of man, and the separation that entered his spirit, cleaving him from the life and light of God, that brought the blindness that clouded his/her perception of the invisible realm. On the one hand their eyes were closed to the realities of God (to the point of believing that they could hide from Him behind a bush), and on t...
One of the main purposes of redemption was to pull down the veil between the natural and the spiritual realm, so mankind could again walk with their God, who is a Spirit. Peter here declares that the good news is preached in order that man might live again in the spirit as God does. To understand this is essential if we are to enjoy the reality of ...
In the universe there are only two Kingdoms at work, and they are entirely contrary to one another: The Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness.
We will first consider the Kingdom of darkness. This ‘kingdom’ is ruled over by satan. It is inferior, and Christ’s victory through the cross has entirely stripped it of authority: Prior to the cross the kingdom of darkness held genuine authority in the earthly realm, having been handed this authority by Adam, earth’s ruler. In the garden of Eden, ...
In order to do this, and maintain his control, satan has erected in the spiritual world over the earth a ‘kingdom’ and structures of government through which to rule over the kingdoms of the world: We will consider this revealed truth concerning the working of satan’s kingdom in greater detail later in this session, and then further in the module w...
Where, prior to conversion, a person was subject to their wicked master, satan and his demons are now subject to the believer. We become Ambassadors of God’s Kingdom to the world, proclaimers of liberty to those still in bondage, deliverers of those who are bound:
Jan 16, 2022 · So let’s talk first about what the Bible unveils about spiritual realities in the unseen realm around us, and second about the ways the Bible shows Christians fighting this spiritual battle. First, Christianity teaches a multi-dimensional universe. That is, we are dualists.
Heavenly realms are made up of God’s home called Heaven, where He lives with Jesus, Angels, and Saints, as written in Ephesians 1:20. They are also made up of the dark side where Satan and his angels reside and always plan evil as written in Ephesians 6:12.
The phrase “heavenly realms” occurs five times in the book of Ephesians. It emphasizes Paul’s perception that—right at this moment—issues of ultimate importance for the Christian happen not just on earth, but in heaven as well. That is because Christians are united with Christ’s exaltation.
