Moving in the Spirit

How valuable would it be to you if you could access the wisdom to make sound financial or business decisions? What about knowing how to receive healing? What value would you put on being able to know if buying a house or used car was a good deal? How much heartache do you imagine you could avoid if you could discern if someone was suitable for you to marry before the relationship got complicated? This is the power of being able to move in the spirit and that’s what I want to show you how to do.

But before I do, there’s some basic truths you need to be aware of. There are two realms of existence: the natural realm and the spiritual realm. The natural realm is governed by natural laws such as the law of gravity, laws of electricity, laws of buoyancy. If we can identify and understand natural laws, we can use them to our advantage. For example, someone with some understanding of the laws of electricity installed the cables in your house so that if you want to turn on a light, you just flick a switch. You may not understand how they did it but because of their understanding, you can harness electrical power and not only illuminate your house but use your appliances to cook a meal, make a coffee or watch tv.

We relate to the natural realm with our natural senses: taste, touch, sight, sound and smell. Without these five senses, we could not function in the natural realm.

In the same way, the spiritual realm is governed by spiritual laws. Many believers are totally ignorant to the existence of spiritual laws but it doesn’t mean that they’re not there. Spiritual laws are real and if we can identify and understand spiritual laws, we can use them to our advantage – just like we can use natural laws to our advantage. There are many spiritual laws that govern the spiritual realm - just like there are many natural laws that govern the natural realm. Some examples of spiritual laws are: the law of faith (Mark 11:23), the law of agreement (Matt 18:18-19), the law of sowing and reaping (Gal 6:7-9).

I’ve said all of this to say this: if you are born again, you are both a natural man and a spiritual man so that you can function in both realms. The natural man uses natural things to function in the natural realm and the spiritual man uses spiritual things to function in the spiritual realm.

You need your natural man to function in the natural realm and you need your spiritual man to function in the spiritual realm. A natural man can cook a meal, drive a car, mow a lawn. A spiritual man can receive supernatural healing, finances, wisdom, peace.

“How do you do that?” you ask. Well, how does a natural man pick up a physical object? By using natural means – his eyes locate the object, his feet walk up to it, his hands grab it. In a similar way, a spiritual man will use spiritual means to do things in the spiritual realm. You have spiritual means that your spiritual man can use.

What are some of these spiritual means that your spirit man can use? Your words, your faith, the Word of God, your spiritual senses, your imagination. The following audio files go into greater detail.
