The Beginning of the Heavenly Realm and Earth
But these natural realms are examples of spiritual realms. Let us begin by looking into the Bible to see what each represents, starting with the seas. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. The lowest part of the earth realm is at the bottom of the sea.
The sea is not only the lowest realm but it is the darkest realm, receiving light only for a very shallow distance. In the natural this is a good type of what it is in the spirit.
It is the realm with no significant awareness of God. Moving upward, Earth is the next highest realm. In the spiritual realm it is the realm where man was created, and it is where man rules with his natural understanding, and when there is daylight it is often darkened by clouds. The realm above the Earth is the Heavens. Just as it is above the earth in the natural, it also represents a higher realm spiritually. They are the ones called out of the restless sea of humanity to begin a journey to attain Christ…to apprehend that for which they were apprehended.
Note however that Jesus had the full measure of the Holy Spirit and at this time we only have a measure therefore ours is a more gradual transition than was his. The day will soon come when those living in Christ will receive the full measure of the Holy Spirit. This concept of four realms of life adds clarity to the pattern seen in our last lesson as shown by the comparison below.
God wants a witness of Himself to creation. This next scripture, Revelation 11 talks about His two witnesses. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth… 6. Who is the witness that turned water into blood and brought plagues? That would be Moses. Moses is also the one through whom God brought the Law to show to His people what was pleasing to the nature of God and what was not. That would be Elijah. Elijah is also the one in the Old Testament who testified of the Spirit of God. Both brought testimony to the Lamb of God, Christ.
Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. There is more than one Heaven. This verse shows us that Jesus Christ is above them all. And this next verse tells us that there are three Heavens. Who do you suppose Paul saw reigning in the highest Heaven? Look up this chapter and read on to see that it is the one that he gives glory to, and that would be Jesus.
After the verse below I illustrate the three Heavens as I see it. Each one is in a different realm. Our next diagram will show some wonderful promises of God to move us upward in His order and in His timing. The promises below were given regarding the seed of Abraham. To me, heaven is a specific place. There is no evidence that such a place exists. Ask New Question Sign In. Is the heavenly realm and the spiritual realm the same thing? Learn More at try.

While kneeling in His presence, I suddenly realized that the light emanating from Him was encompassing me and I was beginning to glow with the glory of His presence. The love and intimacy that we shared in that moment, even without spoken words, was out of this world!
87. The Heavens and the Earth
The Lord then spoke to me with a voice that shook me to the core. It was as if every fiber and cell of my being was shaken and awakened by His voice. What He said surprised me: I knew it was Holy Spirit! The atmosphere changed when this other member of the Godhead moved in. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and said that when He is present He brings with Him the atmosphere of creation. He then said something that astounded me: How many of you know that you can read certain scriptures hundreds of times throughout your life but when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes upon you as the spirit of wisdom and revelation, He reveals and uncovers hidden revelation.
"Birthing Manifestations of the Realm of Heaven on the Earth"
He took me to Gen 1: In the same way that Mary was chosen to conceive Jesus within her womb and bring Him forth into the world, so too, we as believers are chosen through intimacy and impartation from heaven conception , to bring forth the Son of God to the world through displays of heavenly glory and power. Before diving into the story of Mary's visitation, I want to present a key in the life of Jesus that I call "synchronization" because it is a secret to bringing manifestations of heaven into the earthly realm.
Jesus lived in a place of such intimacy and fellowship with the Father on a daily basis that He just proclaimed and decreed what he saw and heard His Father doing and the realm of heaven was immediately ushered into every situation He touched. You see, Jesus did not do any miracles as God! He was most definitely the Son of God, but He laid down His power as God and limited Himself as a human in the very same way that we are limited. The only difference between Jesus, in His human life, and us is that he lived a life completely yielded to the Holy Spirit.

Jesus lived out of John 5: Jesus was one who synchronized heaven and earth and therefore He was the very gateway for the power and reality of heaven to come into our natural realm. What do I mean by synchronized? Jesus lived with a higher reality than many of us have. He lived everyday with the revelation that He had access to the supernatural realm and if He could just see and hear what was going on in heaven with the Father and simply proclaim that on the earth, then mighty demonstrations of power would be ushered into every situation.
The Lord at this time is emphasizing our need for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him to be able to comprehend the supernatural realm around us. The spirit of wisdom and revelation gives us anointed eyes and ears to be able to access heavenly realms and to co-operate and co-labor with the plan of heaven for each moment of our lives. This end-time generation is destined to be a generation that manifests the King of Glory and His kingdom realm to a people blinded from the truth of Jesus Christ.
Just as Jesus synchronized heaven and earth and did mighty miracles, signs and wonders, so also, we as believers are called to be the "gateways" of heaven and manifest the Kingdom realm to everyone around us. Paul stated in Galatians 4: You know, a cup is not completely full until it is overflowing! Likewise, we are not completely full until Christ is so formed in us that He overflows through our life with great demonstrations of heavenly power and glory!
God has given each one of us awesome promises, individually and corporately, through His word. Many believers strive in the natural to see the promises of God brought to pass but it's only as we access heavenly realms and enter into divine friendship with God that our promises are fulfilled.
"Birthing Manifestations of the Realm of Heaven on the Earth"
The first thing we read in verse 26 is that Mary has a visitation from the heavenly realm by an angel. The first thing proclaimed from the mouth of this heavenly being is Mary's identity in the sight of God! Gabriel says in verse 28, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!
Did you know that, at the moment of your salvation experience, the Lord Jesus Christ was "conceived" in your spirit and now your calling and mission in life is to know Him intimately and "bring forth the Son" through your life for the world to see Him in all his majesty and glory? For this reason, it is so important to the Lord that we receive a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, and through anointed eyes and ears, learn to access the realm of heaven. Jesus' inheritance is to have a Bride madly in love with Him, without spot or wrinkle, which as His body, manifests the glory of heaven just as He did through His own body while alive on this earth.
The very beginning of the conception experience of Jesus is marked by a heavenly visitation granted to Mary, the person chosen to "bring forth the Son! The Lord is currently raising up and training a remnant of people who will dwell in heavenly places, through the spirit of wisdom and revelation.
These ones, marked by Throne Room encounters, will carry that atmosphere to the world with them! Anyone who has ever had an encounter with the Lord in the heavenly realms is marked by that experience forever. There will always be an element of heavenly DNA and atmosphere that these people will carry with them.
Can you imagine a people who learn to dwell in heavenly realms and carry that presence with them at all times? This characteristic will mark each member of the great and terrible army that the Lord is raising up in these end-times! Our God is jealously seeking a people who will ascend the hill of the Lord and dwell in the throne room of heaven.
A couple years ago I had an experience in Kansas City with Jill Austin and a group of about 50 other people. An intense atmosphere of the Holy Spirit moved into the room and there were many laid out on the floor just soaking in His presence. Suddenly my spiritual eyes were opened and I began to see what was going on in the spirit realm around these people. I saw a whirlwind come down from heaven carrying multitudes of angels.
This whirlwind wrapped around the people lying on the floor and was pulling them upward in the spirit. Meanwhile, the angels were going around sprinkling something on the hearts of those on the floor. I asked the Lord what they were doing and He said they were ministering spirits sent to carry His presence from the Throne Room of heaven and impart it to these people. He said that He was imparting a fresh hunger for heavenly things to their hearts. The direction of their heart's hunger and craving was literally being redirected by the impartation from heaven!
Many of us try and try to see the promises of God's word fulfilled through some rational ascent and belief in the Word of God. But the Word of God is simply meant to lead us into an encounter with the Author of the book. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
12 Laws out of Jerusalem
In the same way, we as believers can't just go to the Word and see the Lord's promises of a great healing revival, for example and expect to see it happen just because we read it. Mighty demonstrations of God's power and glory are only birthed and manifested on the earth "through" ones who have learned to encounter the Lord in intimacy. Paul says in Ephesians 1: Our promises are accessed in the heavenly realm where we are seated with Christ! Each time we as believers have an encounter with the Lord we are filled with more of His fullness and carry more of His presence and we are changed from glory to glory.
Gabriel says, in Luke 1: I recently heard Bill Johnson make this statement: However, in the Kingdom, as born-again believers, it is backwards from the world. In the Kingdom we 1 are accepted, 2 being accepted is our identity, and out of our identity we 3 do things! We find it in Ephesians 1: The word is "charitoo" and it means, "highly favored," "accepted," or "freely given. The one other place that word is used in Ephesians 1: Just as Mary was used to bring forth the Son of God, so also, we will be used to bring forth the Son of God in all His glory!
This Bridal Paradigm message that is spreading across the earth is deeply rooted in the heart of God. There are places all over the world beginning to teach out of Song of Solomon and our identity as the Bride of Christ and as Sons of God. It is no mistake that "Intimacy with God" is one of the most prominent messages in the Body of Christ at this time. Without deep intimate fellowship resulting in heavenly encounters with the Lord we will never know our identity and, therefore, never take dominion and destroy the works of the devil by the power of God. So how do we get to this place of intimacy and encounter?
