Just something I was pondering on my walk today. The spiritual realm vs the physical realm, there are laws and physics here that control how we do things and how things in this world works, Gravity is one example here we cannot fly and things are bound to the ground by gravity for the most part but in the spiritual realm it could be completely different. in this world a castle in on the ground but in the spiritual realm it could be a floating castle with no real logic as to how it floats.
You know, before we fell the spiritual world
was the physical world. Science tells us that 90% of what makes up the universe we can't see or detect. God says He wants His 10% back. I imagine the new earth will be much like this one, only 90% bigger and better. How that will work out in terms of floating castles I don't know, but I do know that I can't wait to be there. We won't be playing harps in the clouds, I'll tell you that!
But to be more specific I was pondering the laws of the spiritual realm with God. For instance I was told long ago how dangerous it is to challenge satan and honestly with how much he tells me how I am not good enough or strong enough I often times tend to back talk to him mostly how i am stronger than he says I am or something however sometimes I fear I go to far because I really tend to get angry at him and while I don't openly challenge him sometimes my words tend to appear that way to me. It made me wonder about the spiritual laws like what opens one door and closes another what allows satan or his minions to be able to attack you and then I in all of this I asked myself wait i don't get it am I supposed to be afraid of him or not?
Do not fear him, do not respect him; but know and watch for him. You know his snares so watch for them too, when he trips you up rebuke him. Anger might be right in some situations, but remember that anger colors our vision. I wouldn't openly challenge him, but keep in mind that he likes and creates them anyway. And those doors you talked about, without going into a whole other subject be aware that satan and his ilk can 'transport' thru time. One lesson God gave me about this was with porn, if you fall to let's say a video it gives that demon not only the right to afflict you, but the authority to go back in time and tempt the participants into doing it. When you submit to a spiritual authority, you're submitted to a spiritual authority. Until you confess, repent, and rebuke it.
Still discussing the laws and the way the spiritual realm is seemed like a very interesting thread and certainly better than another heated debate over a subject that been discussed over and over and if you go the bdf often you know the subjects I speak of as there are many
I know what you speak of
I find it hard to participate much anymore, it seems all the arguments have been made ad nauseum and my repeating them a jillionth time isn't going to make a difference. That's why you see me more these days touching on things that aren't just the standard boilerplate. Like mr miracle here.
