The Glory Realm and Heaven Revealed
by Faye Higbee
We live in a world where rational thought determines our daily routine, and all that we know. But have you ever wondered what was beyond the realms of the ordinary, and experienced the dimension of the supernatural?
Within the pages of the Bible are men and women who lived in a realm far beyond that of rational thought. Is that realm dead, or have we blocked it from our minds by the current cultural climate in which we live?
Let me assure you all: the dimensions of the spiritual realms are alive and well, and accessible by any who chose to enter them. The only caution is that there are two realms: the spiritual realm which contains both good and evil, and the heavenly realm. Walking into the heavenly realm, or the actual Kingdom of God, requires the knowledge of Jesus as Lord on a personal level, and the indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit. (John 3:5).
Heavenly places: Throughout history Christians have been murdered for their faith, as have the practitioners of many other religions. What makes Christianity so different? Why would anyone believe such supernatural poppycock and let it lead them to death? It's the difference between knowing your father on earth. If you have never met him, you could care less about his name or his heritage, right? But if you had an excellent relationship to him, his heritage to you is important and you will wish to be a part of it.
One day I was jogging down the street on my lunch hour, praying, oblivious to the world around me. The next moment I was walking along the streets of heaven. The streets were clear, pure gold- so pure, so clear, that you could literally see into them. Beside the street was a crystal clear river- deep, swift moving, so powerful that it splashed over the sides of the embankment. Along the street were trees- and the fruits on them were of every size, shape, and color of the rainbow. The sight was so breathtaking I could hardly think straight. But the most magnificent feeling was the warmth- it was a mild warm temperature with light that radiated from everywhere at once, and seemed to envelope me with love. The only word I heard was "home." THIS was the place where we were destined to live out eternity. The place where Love is. And you can journey there too, even before you pass from this earth.
When I blinked, I was almost back to the office where I worked at the time. I had only been gone a few minutes, but that experience changed my life. Nothing matters but cooperation with God's plan for you- if you don't know Him and think I'm nuts, please feel free to ask Him yourself and be prepared for a change. If you want to know something beyond yourself, the answers that have kept you wondering since you were a child are at the tip of your lips. Just ask, He's listening.
