I listed some scripture below this post. I would encourage you to read them through now and consider them in your heart. Then come back and finish reading this. I had so many scriptures to choose from in order to lay a foundation for what I feel led of The Lord to write. I pray that The Holy Spirit will open up to you what I believe He has revealed to me.
This post will seem more like and exhortation than an explanation. I believe this is by design. I am going to share with you what I hear The Lord speaking to me and what He wants to speak to His Church. He wants us to break free from the things that have kept our eyes earthbound and fleshly focused.
He wants us to be all that He created us to be. He has freed us from the Kingdom of Darkness that keeps this world bound to obey the sways and dictates of the devil and the flesh. He wants us to once and for all take off our old garments, step out of the darkness and walk in all The Blessings and Benefits He has provided for us.
Everything that is being designed and programmed into modern social media and entertainment is geared toward making sure we can never obtain true freedom. They are constantly evolving to stop you from looking up from this fallen world and ascending above the sway of The Kingdom of Darkness.
We must make a conscious , purposeful decision to lay ourselves down at His feet, deny ourselves, and seek The Kingdom of Heaven. We are so surrounded by the dark fog of this fallen world and the noise of the enemies distractions, that we will only see what we need to see when we ascend above it all.
Remember, everything in the world of media, social media and entertainments is purposefully being used by The Spirit of Antichrist to stop The Church from walking in The Light. Your enemy does not want us to fully realize this.
I had a very vivid dream many years ago. I was standing before Jesus. He was surrounded by a glorious light that was radiating all around Him. There was no verbal communication, but He knew the distress and questions of my heart.
He simply said :
"You will always be weary, until you come under my rays"
(I created this on an AI App. It is pretty close to how the dream looked. Although I could see His Face)
You are in the earth but not of the earth. You are a brand New Creation in Christ! You have been translated out of The Kingdom of Darkness and placed in to The Kingdom of God. That Kingdom now is in you. You are a living representative of The Kingdom of Heaven. You are The Living Breathing Temple of The Holy Spirit of God who once only dwelled within The Holy of Holies within The Ark of The Covenant!
The Blood of Jesus has cleansed you so thoroughly that The very same Holy Spirit that was once unapproachable even by the most holy of priest, now lives and abides in you. The same Spirit, that raised Christ from The Dead, works within you, bringing life to your being and light to your soul.
The Church is now The Living Body of Christ on Earth. The gathered believers within the Local Church come together and create a holy dwelling place of worship and power on the earth. Every believer, from every nation, tongue and tribe are connected in the spirit realm and by The Spirit of God.
We are a true army of Light and Power. We are the redeemed of The Lord. We are The Church that Jesus said would topple the Gates of Hell as we brought His Gospel into all The World and made Disciples of all nations!
We were created to walk in the spirit realm, by the power of His Holy Spirit. As His New Creation and as His Body on earth, we have been reborn by The Spirit into the spirit. We have been given all things pertaining to life and godliness. We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. In Him we live and move and have our being, because we are literally seated with Him spiritually in heavenly places.
We were created to move about in the spirit and with the authority of His name to deal with the spirit world that opposes our mission. We do not fight against natural enemies, our enemies are those demonic spirits and unholy messengers from The Kingdom of Darkness. This is why The Lord equipped us with weapons that are not carnal, but spiritual, that are able to topple spiritual strongholds and tear down every high and lofty thing that tries to exalt itself above The Lord God Almighty.
When the Apostles were sent out two by two, they were sent out to preach The Gospel, Heal The Sick, Raise The Dead and Cast out Demons. This is a picture of us as believers and as The Body of Christ, coming against the Kingdom of Darkness with The Weapons of The Kingdom of Heaven.
God came from heaven in the form of a man, Jesus. Jesus was anointed by God with The Holy Spirit and Power and went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the enemy, for God was with Him. Jesus then gave His Mission to His Apostles to take the message to the lost sheep of Israel and they operated in The same authority and spiritual abilities He did, for God was with them.
When Jesus was crucified , The Holy Spirit departed The Holy of Holies. Three days later Jesus rose again, commanded His disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the promise of The Father. On the day of Pentecost, The Holy Spirit of God filled all the disciples who were waiting in the upper room.
They became the first living Temples of God. The Kingdom of Heaven was now represented by 120 Born Again living Temples. 120 Men and Women were now filled with the Holy Spirit and Power , who had a Commission to go about doing Good and Healing all who are oppressed of The Devil. The Lord was with them confirming their words with accompanying signs and wonders.
On that day Peter filled with The Holy Spirit preached The Gospel Message and 3000 more were born again and filled with the Holy Spirit as well. The Church was born, The Kingdom of Heaven was already spreading with The Light of Christ with signs following those that believe. They also went out speaking with new tongues and casting out demons. All that believed were given authority over the darkness that would try and stop them or come against them.
Thousands of years have passed and the Kingdoms of Darkness has fought to destroy The Body of Christ on earth , but the more the enemy tries, the farther The Light of The Gospel spreads. The more the enemy tries to soil the name of Jesus through imperfect people of God or messengers from his own dark kingdom, pretending to be from God, the more The Name of Jesus is broadcast throughout the world.
We are called to a very high calling. Not just ministers that you see on stage , or in meetings, but each one of us. If you are a believer, you are a spirit being. You have been blessed with something that is eternal and powerful. You have been anointed by God to carry His Holy Spirit around with you wherever you go. You are seen in The Spirit realm. You are known in the spirit realm. Not because of anything natural, but because The King of Kings and The Lord of Lords has placed His seal within you.
When you decide to walk in the spirit and set your affections on things above and not on this earth you are highlighted in the spirit. When you decide to lay aside your old garments and put on the new garments, you stand out in the spirit. When you seek The Lord, pray in the spirit and stir up the very real, very powerful gifts that were given to you, you become a living testimony to The Kingdom of Heaven because you will be a witness of it by showing the authority and love of Jesus to the world around you.
Do you see why the enemy is filling every communication avenue he can with images, thoughts, whispers and his demonic presence that try and keep mankind blind to The Kingdom of God. Do you see why it is so important to rid ourselves of our connections and addictions to these things?
We must look up from within our own souls. We must allow our spirits to ascend over our flesh. We must speak to ourselves in songs ,hymns and spiritual songs and make melody in our hearts to the Lord. We must build ourselves up in the most holy faith. We must seek the lord with all our hearts. We must let The Word of God wash us , and strengthen our minds.
Now take the word must out of all that I just wrote and replace it with we are blessed to be able to. It is a great blessing to be born again. It is a great blessing of grace and mercy to be given such great and precious promises. These great and precious promises makes us partakers of God's Divine Nature.
The enemy of our souls and of mankind doesn't want you to know this and walk in this. He doesn't want you to know that God Himself dwells inside you. That your prayers are empowered by Him, that your life is sealed by Him and that you are a child of His. He doesn't want you to know that you have authority over all the power of the enemy. He doesn't want you to know that you are never alone, never powerless and never abandoned.
He doesn't want you to know that you can take authority over demons and evil spirits that attack you and your family. He doesn't want you to know that The Church is The Fullness of His Body on Earth.
But now you know.
Psalm 37:3-7
Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires.
Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
or fret about their wicked schemes.

1 Peter 2:1-5
Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers

For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”

unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me,
he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

so you will have all the endurance and patience you need.
May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father.
He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people,
who live in the light.
For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness
and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son,
who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.
Galatians 5:16-26
So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil,
which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires.
These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.
But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear:
sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives:
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
Ephesians 2
Made Alive with Christ
1 Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. 2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. 3 All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.
4 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) 6 For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. 7 So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.
8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Oneness and Peace in Christ
11 Don’t forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders. You were called “uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who were proud of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their hearts. 12 In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope. 13 But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.
14 For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. 15 He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups. 16 Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.
17 He brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and peace to the Jews who were near. 18 Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.
A Temple for the Lord
19 So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family. 20 Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.
21 We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord.
22 Through him you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit.
