INTRODUCTION: 1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you.

This booklet is created from a series of articles I have written to reveal a realm beyond the veil of flesh and the letter of the Word. In order to understand the present truth of God's Word, the Holy Spirit is come to lead us into all truth. To bring about a deep KNOWING of our own selves IN Christ, and to fully apprehend this heavenly sphere which holds the key to a greater release of our inheritance in Christ.But St. Peter stated that this incorruptible inheritance is reserved in heaven and for most in Christendom today that means, one day when we all get to heaven. That is exactly why St. Paul, prayed that we would each receive the spirit of revelation and wisdom in the knowledge of Him.

Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints...

The scripture goes on to declare that we who were dead in trespasses and sins has He now quickened together with Christ and raised us up to sit IN heavenly places in Christ. We have already been raised up into a heavenly sphere where God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Many of God's chosen today are experiencing a shift in consciousness (what we are aware of in and through ourselves) and are being drawn to a deeply intimate relationship with God in Christ, having the eyes of their understanding enlightened.We are beginning to see things that can be seen no other way and hear things that can be heard no other way but by the revelation of the Holy Spirit. Being transformed from the natural, carnal, earthy expression of life to the spiritual heavenly life-giving realm of Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:49 And as we have born the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

God is making known to us the mystery of His will. But special attention should be given to the word mystery. Translated from the Greek, musterion, meaning, known only to the initiated. It denotes something about God's word that cannot be understood by natural means. Not everything God wants us to know is written in the letter or surface reading of the Word. Sometimes we must find the inner, hidden and spiritual meaning before we can make an application of it in our lives.

A REALM BEYOND

There is a wonderful story concerning Elisha the prophet in the second book of Kings chapter six. The King of Syria had decided to make war against Israel and took counsel among his servants detailing his plans and encampments for himself and his army. But every attempt to trap the King of Israel failed. When questioning the loyalty among his servants it was revealed to the king that Elisha the Prophet had been telling the King of Israel those things they had been discussing in secret.

2 Kings 6:12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.

The Lord would reveal the secret plans of tie King of Syria to Elisha, who then counseled the King of Israel, how to escape harm.

2 Kings 6:10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.

You can imagine how angered the king of Syria became and immediately sent out to spy on Elisha and bring him into captivity. Having learned of his location, the king sent a great company of horses and chariots to surround the city by night.

2 Kings 6:14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.

In the morning when the servant of Elisha arose he saw the great army of the Syrians surrounding the city and cried unto Elisha, "Alas my master what shall we do." The circumstances were very grim and the strength of the army was great. Elisha, answered FEAR NOT and he prayed for the Lord to open the eyes of His servant to see that they that be with us are more than they that be against us.

2 Kings 6:17...And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

This story illustrates how there is more to the natural world than our five senses can detect. Elisha's servant needed his eyes opened to see the heavenly side of reality. We also need the eyes of our understanding enlightened to know what is the real nature of our heavenly inheritance in Christ. You may be in circumstances that have surrounded your life also. They may seem larger than life and you may feel there is no way out. The good news is that right NOW, as we live upon the earth is a realm of life and provision available to those with eyes to see. Not just a future home in glory but the realm of God's Holy Spirit on: "The Other Side of Now.",/b>
