Beholding Yourself Through the Dimension of Purpose/Rashea@LLO2 Academy
For a Christian who is born again through Jesus, purpose is not the exposure of one's physical self but rather the awareness of God and self awareness of your inner self in knowledge, understanding, wisdom, governance and purpose.
Your physical makeup cannot reveal what and who you are within. Your heart and your mind reveals the true condition of your life and the world beyond our own.
Dimensions of governance and purpose are not realms of governance and purpose. Realms are tiers leading upward and downward. Dimensions, however, are a spiritual force within another dimension leading and extending from and to one eternal Source of governance and purpose.
We, often times, utilize the terms of dimensions when communicating the deep things of God such as His glory, strength, faith wisdom, governance, nature, the Holy Spirit and the revelation of God. "We go from glory to glory; from strength to strength; from faith to faith," the Bible says (Psalms 84:7; Romans 1:17; 2Corinthians 3:18). These are all dimensions within another eternal dimension leading to the eternal Source of God.
When a believer is exposed to dreams and visions through God, they are not exposing themselves to witchcraft readings and games, psychic powers, tarot cards or hell's forces of power. God is against such things and warns us to stay away from such practices in Scripture, because they are a manipulation of spiritual authority where mankind are attempting through demonic forces to obtain eternal leverage that they are unauthorized to have without God as human beings. In other words, they are trying to play God, and that is dangerous, because this kind of behavior is utilized for evil and corruption.👀
Moreover, in the Bible, whenever a believer, prophet, patriarch, monarch or apostle was shown any kind of dream or vision in time and history they were clothed, either praying to God or walking with God in daily devotion.
The Bible often states, "As they were praying or going about their daily rountine, suddenly an angel would appear, God would speak directly to them or He Himself would appear or the Holy Spirit would come upon them catching them up in the spirit (which is indeed the eternal dimension of God within the spirit realm) and show them dreams and visions of the past, present and future. This simply means, physically they would be in the same place, but their inner mind and spirit being would be exposed to eternal information and imagery that took place in another time in history or that was yet to come. Such eternal power and revelation revealed the eternal purposes of God for all humanity and history through spiritual realms (tiers of both the natural and spiritual governments in hell, the earth and heaven above). You can read evidence of dreams and visions expansively in the Books of Ezekiel, Daniel, Acts and Revelation.
Although hell is a spiritual realm, hell is not located ABOVE the earth but rather UNDER the earth (Genesis 1:1-2; Matthew 13:41-42, 25:30, 41& 46; 2Peter 2:4: Revelation 5:3). That is why a Christian born again believer has authority OVER the forces of hell THROUGH Jesus who has ALL power and authority (Genesis 3:15; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-18; Luke 10:18-19; John 1:1-5,14 1Corinthians 15:55-57; Galatians 4:4-7; Colossians 1:15-17).
When studying hell and the grave, we must be careful that we are not misinterpreting hell as the grave. The abyss (outer darkness; hell) and sheol (the grave) are distinctively different. The abyss is hell; a place of torment for unbelievers in Christ Jesus, but it IS NOT the lake of fire (Gehenna) being that both hell and death will be thrown into the lake of fire along with Satan, all demons and unbelievers as an eternal sentencing for their blatant rebellion against God and the eternal Word and laws of God (Revelation 19:20, 20:10,13-15). Sheol is also mentioned in several Psalms, again, as the grave of humanity. Other biblical names for Sheol were: Abaddon (ruin), found in Psalm 88:11, Job 28:22 and Proverbs 15:11; & Shakhat (corruption), found in Isaiah 38:17, Ezekiel 28:8.
We should tremble in erroring when teaching the Scriptures. It is VERY important to learn and know the proper teachings of Scriptures for yourself or you will be led astray into sin and great error (2Peter 2).👀
"Study to show yourself knowledgeable and approved of God, a diligent student and laborer of the Scriptures having no need to be ashamed of not knowing the truth for yourself (2Timothy 2:15).
There is nothing wrong with being aware of your inner self. I encourage it. However, having the awareness of God, self and the spirit world should ALWAYS be filtered and guided through a personal relationship with Jesus and the inner dwelling of the Holy Spirit who is the Revealer of ALL truth (John 16:13).
We are all in search for true fulfillment and purpose, but they are only found in Jesus. Lasting fulfillment and purpose leading to life is found in Jesus. I say this because, many have found their knack. They are truly doing what they love and what they are born to do, but after this life... What next?
Death? Yes, but no. Life extends BEYOND the grave of sheol. Where you are going after this life totally depends on how you lived and responded to the atonement of Jesus for your sins and the sins of humanity in your everyday life. Being a good person is not enough in the life to come.
Fulfilling your purpose and doing what you love is not enough either. Accepting Jesus and doing life and purpose THROUGH Jesus is enough. This IS a life of true meaning, fulfillment and purpose leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
