We’ve started learning about spending time in the heavenlies. Walking with Papa and Jesus in the cool of the day in the garden, going places in the heavenly realms.

John was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, Paul was caught up to the third heaven, Jacob’s ladder was two way, up and down, we are seated with Christ in the heavenlies.  All these were/are present tense experiences of the believers in question.

Jesus spoke to Nicodemus of how, at that moment, he was on the earth talking to him and in heaven simultaneously. If you add that to the mind blowing concept of being born-again it is no surprise that Nicodemus didn’t understand the conversation right then. Now remember that Jesus also told us we would do the things He did while he was here on earth and more.

Therefore, being here on earth in the physical realm and seated in Heaven at the same time is mind blowing, but it’s our reality.  Actively walking in it has increased intimacy with Papa, Jesus and Holy Spirit to a degree I’ve not experienced in a good long time.

We must use our spiritual senses to experience the spiritual dimension of heaven. That may sound woo-woo or even scary but, if you’ve ever sensed the presence of Jesus, Holy Spirit or Father in the midst of worship then you’ve already used your spiritual senses to one degree or another. Learning to use them more is like walking or talking we start as young child and grow to where it is second nature.
