Prepare for launch

• What questions persist that I really want answered about my relationship with God?

I launched into the spirit realm with the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  This occurred shortly after giving Jesus Christ lordship of my life. 

I previously felt like a crusader without a cause.  That day ended my quest.  I found my cause in Him.  I longed to understand the life, power, authority, and reality of the spiritual realm.  In short, I did not just want to know it worked; I wanted to know how it worked!  That is still my pursuit.

I often say my baptism in the Spirit baptized me a warrior.  The battle began with my entrance into the unseen.  The enemy had not succeeded in drawing me into the spirit realm through entryways outside of Christ (astrology, mysticism, occult practices or other religions).  That would have given them power over me.

My access through Christ empowered me with His authority.  Although I was yet to learn that, I was a threat. 

I soon learned that the torrent of thoughts, replete with fear and doubt, was demonic assault. 

I thought “devil … do you mean he is real!?”

Now back to you…  Is it possible that you are hungry for the same understanding and interaction in the spirit realm?  It seems to be a well-guarded secret, but true nonetheless – the church of Jesus Christ is to exercise His authority over this present darkness!

Now, if this is where you want to go, let’s find companions for the journey!
