Belief is not magic that causes God to release something. Belief puts us in the realm where we’ve already been given all things that pertain to life and Godliness. Belief is a spiritual capacity that connects to a higher dimension where all things are possible. Christ is the door to this dimension.
God doesn’t have anything else to release, he has established us in righteousness through Christ and we are complete in him. The only issue is that truth is a spiritual and eternal. We live in a confined, 4 dimensional context where we do not have an unhindered experience of the eternal realm. Jesus says that we’re connected to it now but we still have these sensory driven bodies so we’re limited to what it experiences.
When we “walk in spirit” which is done through the way we think, we have access to that unhindered eternal realm.
Think of our state of existence in terms of dimensions. There are 3 physical, measurable dimensions: length, width and depth. Or in other words, we can move up and down along one dimension, we can move side to side in a second dimension and we can move forward and backward in a third dimension. That is the construct of our 3 dimensional experience. Dimensions are not some distant galaxy far far away, they’re simply paths of motion.
Physicists now say that time is the 4th dimension. Within our 3 dimensional experience, we move around in time or the 4th dimension. We see the effects of time, we measure time but we don’t actually see time itself. Time is constant and has laws that it works by.
Now think of Heaven as another dimension, like time. It’s all around us, like time, but we can’t see it. We can see the effects of Heaven but we don’t actually see Heaven itself. It’s more of a dimension that has it’s own laws and it’s own constants. Heaven’s laws and governing principles are above or higher in operation than out limited 4 dimensional experience.
Everyone has the same opportunity to interact with this dimension but there’s a problem, Heaven is a dimension of pure energy and light, darkness cannot exist or enter into this dimension, only light or pure energy can.
I realize I’m taking some creative license here put I’m painting a picture, a scientific parable so to speak, to help you see the picture.
So if Heaven is a dimension where there’s no darkness, we have to be in the light to interact with it. This is what Christ has done for us and in us. He has made us pure, through his blood, to be able to interact with the laws and governing principles of that eternal dimension. In this dimension, there’s no lack, no dysfunction, nothing is decaying… there is only life and purity.
That dimension is always there, it doesn’t come and go, we don’t step in and out of it, but much like out 3 dimensions, we’re not always moving along them. We’re not always moving sideways into that linear dimension. Heaven is a dimension that is always an available potential but we’re not always moving in it. The difference is that in our 3 dimensions, we move in them physically but we move in the Heaven dimensions spiritually, through faith. Just like we take physical steps to move in a particular dimension in this realm, we take steps in Heaven’s dimensions by faith. Faith simply just means trust or belief.
I’m trying to help you realize that God is not deciding when good things happen in our lives and when bad things happen, his state of existence is constant and our connectedness to Him and his state of existence is determined by us. He is not hiding or putting things in the way of our experience of Him and His realm. He’s there, with open arms, with a standing invitation, with nothing but good things for us.
As I started out, belief is not magic. Belief doesn’t cause God to move, faith doesn’t cause God to move, God exists in a complete and unhindered eternal dimension. He has now joined us to that dimension through the sacrifice of Christ and we have access to those dimensions through our beliefs. Belief doesn’t “make something happen”, it’s simply the mode of operation, the method of mobility within eternal dimensions. If Christ is in us then we’re in him then we’re not apart from where God is and the state of existence he experiences.
Our problem is that we stay in our 3 dimensional limited physical abilities (the flesh) and limit the eternal dimension, we don’t move in the eternal paths of motion, so we keep experiencing only what the physical dimensions can offer. We’ve built a box around ourselves with our beliefs and then blamed the box on God.
We don’t need Heaven to invade where we are because it’s not separate from us, we simply need to change the way we think (repent), let go of darkness (sin) and walk in the light. We’re already equipped and made pure (holy) through faith in the finished work of Christ, now we need to learn to walk in a new reality that is currently all around us.
God is not withholding anything, it’s us and out limited beliefs (capacity to move in the dimensions of Heaven) that lock us into this realm. This is why it’s important to stay out of sin, so that there is no darkness in us. Sin has been dealt with in regard to eternity, Jesus took ALL the punishment for past, current and future sins, God will never judge you or hold your sins against you because Jesus was a sufficient, eternal, sacrifice. But if we choose sin, it will lock us into this physical experience. Given enough time, if we stay in sin, we will experience the fruit of it, which is death, in a physical context. Jesus conquered death in the eternal state when he descended into Hades so we don’t have to fear that but we need to keep the channel clear, so to speak, to the eternal dimensions.
So… I’m going to stop this blog post here. I’m currently writing a book that covers this and much more in the quantum realm. I pray this shifts your paradigm and causes you to repent, that is to say change the way you think about God. I hope this takes some limits off and compels you toward our good and amazing Heavenly Father. He’s for you, he’s not against you and he has already given you everything he has, now break free from limited thinking and realize that Jesus was right when he said that ALL things are possible to him who believes. Or to state it a different way, all things are possible to him who moves in the dimensions of Heaven.
