Things get easier

Things get easier to see. Hey, we live in a world that is visible and invisible. When you die you go into the invisible. In the flesh you are in the visible. It sucks because of the fall. I'm going to try to find a Scripture reference to the visible, invisible aspect of the world.

Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:


That's a good one.

Rather than the usual straining to perceive the 'other realm', which exists, we can accomplish the same goal by simply recognizing the fact of it and then operating with that understanding. I mean, not straining to do what the flesh can't do, yet still doing what our spirit can accomplish. Grow in understanding and perception of the invisible.

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead;


Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.


To walk in the above understanding, simply, is different from straining to perceive and do what the flesh is incapable of perceiving and doing. Walk after the Spirit; i.e. after the Word of God. In understanding.

This is like reading the Bible as if you are getting basic information about this life and existence. Like, you read the passages about visible/invisible worlds, and so you see that is big and you write it down, and it becomes a major part of how you see everything around you.

So you see violence in the street, and you say, so what is this? This reflects the invisble world called hell? Certainly not heaven, even though heaven apparently needs to be regenerated as all Creation does when the time comes. Maybe the violence reflects the invisible world that the Prince of the power of the air rules.

Maybe it reflects what is in you. Maybe you don't have to have anything to do with violence if it's no longer in you. Maybe you have protection from it too.

I'm rambling, but I think I'm beginning to make the effort to sketch out the Man #5 existence and understanding in effort as well in just being.

3x5 cards are useful, and I may still use them, but they are definitely a Man #4 thing...
