Summary: There is a realm of eternity where time and space hold little significance, and physical and material things do not matter.
There is a realm of eternity where time and space hold little significance, and physical and material things do not matter. It is a realm of the spirit—so bright and peaceful—a place where life takes on new meaning and purpose. It is a little bit of heaven on earth.
Revelation 11:12 says, And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. To walk with God you need to come up to his realm. A deep walk with him, requires that you first get yourself ready. He is ready to give us all things and to show us the deep mysteries of his kingdom, but he first wants us completely yielded to his Spirit. We must cast away every hindrance that is holding us back. The flesh must be completely yielded to him. Walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).
There is more to life than going to work, watching TV 5 hours a day, going to shopping malls or beer drinking. There is a place in God which can only be found by those who are searching for it. Proverbs 25:2 says, It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. Jeremiah 29:13 says, If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. It is not enough to desire the things of God; we must earnestly desire him. The principle to recieving all the heavenly treasures, is by walking with the Lord, spending time with him in prayer and in his Word. The treasures of God are available to him who seeks and pursue the Lord with all his heart. The one who will overcome the flesh and go past the head knowledge, to walking in the Spirit will inherit all these treasures. Give yourself to Prayer and to the Word.
