In Response to a comment....

I debated about whether or not to post this under the comment section of my last post. But I decided that you, dear "Holy Chaos" may not ever look back to see it. And it's in response to a comment that you made. :)

You said "I wish I could see into that realm... to see what's really going on." Regarding the realm of the spiritual unseen. So my thougths on that, since you put it out there and all...

Ask him.

Yeah. You read that right. I'd say if you want to see into that realm. Simply ask him.

Last year (or was it the year before that?) I was really searching out God about his take on my desire to enter into the Spiritual Realm. And He pointed me to the scripture in Matthew, where it talks of Peter walking on water.

One of the things that the Lord showed me when studying that scripture was that Jesus wasn't offended at Peter's request. He didn't scoff at Peter or roll his eyes. Or declare that He, and He alone, was to attempt such things and that Peter was being ridiculous. He simply said Alright. Come on. And my guess is that he said it with a twinkle in his eye, a grin on his face, and his hand outstretched.

So ask Him. He won't be offended. And you'll never know unless you do.

Under the old covenant, Elisha could see into the spiritual realm. Because of that he had peace when earthly circumstances deemed he be panicked. Take a look at 2 Kings 6:8-17 ...

There may be other examples? But this is just a quick response to your comment. Just thoughts from me to you...(and whoever else is reading) :)

It's just a thought. I know some of you may disagree. But read it for yourselves. Was Jesus offended? No. Does he tell us to ask of him. Yes. Does he say that he wants to do more than we can think or imagine? Yes. So if you're imagining it, then it's too small. He's thinking Bigger Yet for your life. (Ephesians 3:18-20 speaks of this!! He WANTS us to have the power to comprehend...).

Anyway...just a thought, "Holy Chaos"...just a thought.

i love the way you explain about asking...and Jesus's answer and attitude..

He doesn't go "are you kidding???"

This is very interesting.

Dh runs the junior high ministry at our church and we will be having a round discussion about what is real about angels and demons to go off of the "halloween" theme. They don't dress up but they do bring candy(junior highers!!!).

So this topic might come up. Thanks for the insight on something that I have been thinking about lately.
