Mystery creates wonder and wonder
is the basis of man's desire to understand.
Neil Armstrong

L IV E W I TH S PIRI TU AL A UTHOR IT Y
From every culture across the globe throughout history and in
particular biblical history, events of heaven meeting earth have
been recorded. From as early as Adam hearing God walking in the
cool of the day to Ezekiel being snatched by his hair to heaven;
divine visitations, spiritual journeys, extraordinary visions and
peculiar happenings are documented on the pages of time.
Throughout time and generations past there have been and still is
great fascination and great fear with the spirit world.
The phrase "spirit world" incites a variety of feelings in different
people. The obsession with the spirit world floods our movie
theatres, television sets and bookstores. How much of the spirit
world do we understand?
That phrase, "the spirit world" is a very vague term. While we are
earth dwellers, we ask, "Is there a spirit world?" "If there is a spirit
world, how can human beings know for sure?" "If there is a dual
universe, how do we experience the spirit world?"
WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed – Page 4
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.
Hebrews 11:3
LIVE WITH SPIRITUAL UNDERSTAND ING
Everything that has substance, essence and material structure is
made up of invisible substance. Water being visible is made up of
two elements that are invisible; hydrogen and oxygen. Our
inability to see these two elements with the naked eye does not
destroy the fact that they exist.
The universe extends beyond the mind of man,
and is more complex than the small
sample one can study.
Kenneth L. Pike
The eye that is willing to see deeper by way of modern technology
is able to see that hydrogen and oxygen are present. Our natural
world; the visible world is made up of invisible elements. To
successfully operate in the natural realm, we must understand the
laws that govern it. The laws of nature though invisible to us are
presently operating whether we are aware of it or not. Living on
the earth requires us to operate within what is seen and what is not
seen.

And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all
night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that
place, and put them for his pillows, and laid down in that place
to sleep. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the
earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the
angels of God ascending and descending on it. ~Genesis 28:11
L IV E W I T H S PIRI TU AL P ERC EPT ION
There is absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt a place where
heaven and earth meets. There is a place that transcends the
physical that abides in the invisible; parallel to the visible. We call
this realm "the realm of the spirit" or "the spirit world".
As intellectual beings, it's very easy to deny what cannot be seen,
touched, smelled, tasted and heard. Yet, denial based on sensory
perception is neither intelligent nor factual. A world of
microscopic life forms was unknown until science assisted humans
to elevate their ability to see beyond the five-sense realm.
What we believe in our human understanding of spiritual things is
a minute fraction of what is to be known and what must be known.
Expansion of the mind is required if we desire our theology to
meet God's reality.
WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed – Page 6
The spirit realm is the place of true habitation. It is not where we
visit, it is where we abide. The door is always open though it is
not often seen. Spirit is not known and experienced in the realm of
the senses because the senses belong to the natural world.
No pessimist ever discovered the secret
of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land,
or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.
Helen Keller
L IV E W I T H S ELF KNOW L ED G E
You are not the sum total of your physical body. There are levels
and dimensions to your existence. Even as the natural world is
made up of invisible components, you also are made up of
invisible components. These invisible elements make up an
integral part of your being. To neglect the most essential part of
you is to neglect what makes you who and what you are. The part
of you that you call "self" is made up of "spirit". Spirit is what
sparks your life and sustains your life.
Spirit encompasses your breath, your mind and your soul. Spirit is
the throne of your consciousness from which the seat of your
mental, intellectual and emotional powers reside. Spirit defines
your aptitude and your altitude. It is the source of your strength
and true identity.
WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed – Page 7
The deepest part of you which is spirit lives without time, without
boundaries and without impossibilities. From the deep place
comes dreams, aspirations and miracles. Your spirit believes the
impossible and thrives on the possibility of all it imagines.
The human spirit is never finished
when it is defeated...
it is finished when it surrenders.
Ben Stein
B ELI EV E I N Y OUR TR UE S ELF
As a natural creature, your body is subject to time, disease and
decay. As a spiritual being, your spirit is eternal and
indestructible. Great are the things you can accomplish when you
discover the greatness of your divine design.
The impossible becomes possible when you rid yourself of doubt.
The inconceivable is conceivable when you rid yourself of
unbelief. The insurmountable becomes attainable when you free
yourself of fear.
Jesus said unto him, If thou can believe,
all things are possible to him that believes.
Mark 9:23
You are an extraordinary being. Don't allow your unbelief to
hinder you from be-ing; being all you can be.
WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed – Page 8
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:27
B ELI EV E I N Y OUR TR UE S ELF
Your spirit longs to know spiritual things. You; created in the
image and likeness of God are filled with the life of God, the
essence of God and the substance of God.
Possibilities are defined by the unlimitedness of the image you
were created in. You were created with the fabric of the Divine.
The more you get to know God, the more you will discover
yourself in Him.
For nothing is impossible with God.
Luke 1:38
The word "impossible" is not in God's vocabulary and it should not
be in yours. You are not a fragile creature doomed to the fate of
the wind. On the contrary, you are a creature of divine design
destined towards great heights. Hidden beneath your human frame
is a power that can harness the power of the sun. Supernatural
power resides in you. Dare to believe and exercise your true
spiritual abilities. There is no circumstance you cannot overcome.
There is no fight you cannot defeat.
WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed – Page 9
The atom is an invisible thing but when split causes great visible
destruction. The force that is created from within the atom is
dormant but when provoked demolishes everything for miles.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
S PIRI TU AL POW ER R ESI D ES IN Y OU
Hidden beneath unbelief, fear and doubt lays the power that ignites
miracles. Unmentionable possibilities are right now in you. Right
now there is great power waiting to be unleashed. This power is
inside of you not outside of you. This power is released by faith.
You will never use what you don't believe in.
I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth
will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth
will be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 18:18
Like the car that requires the key to turn on the engine, your faith
turns on your spiritual power. But, you don't stop there. You must
press the gas pedal if you want to move. It's not enough to have
faith; you must now use the power of the spoken word. You must
speak what it is you believe. When you speak from the place of
full assurance that does not waver; you will see what you hoped for
materialize. You are a spiritual being able to affect the natural
world. From the natural realm, the spiritual realm hears and
responds.
WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed – Page 10
Heaven has its ears positioned towards you. When you believe in
your natural experience in that which is spiritual; the spiritual will
deliver in your natural sphere that which you expect.
The kingdom of God is within you.
Luke 17:21
BELIEVE FROM YOUR SPIRITUAL BASE
Spiritual power is released through the revelation of selfperception. What you perceive, you believe. What you believe
has the potential to release what it contains. If you believe in
defeat, defeat is what you will receive. Expectation is governed by
what is contained in the thing you believe in. If what you believe
is true and not false or fabricated; the true thing allows you to
receive what is hidden within it. A treasure chest filled with
precious jewels is available to the one that knows where it is
located. Once located, the contents of the treasure chest are
obtained by the one that can open it. Such is the way of the spirit.
Such is the way of spiritual power.
You must live from your spiritual base. Your roots are in God.
Your source of power is released from the place it abides in.
Eternity lives within you. Eternity includes the unlimited, the
undeniable and the indestructible. Your power source is not outside
of you; your power source is within you. Whenever you seek
outside of yourself; you will be faced with lack because all that
you need has been deposited within you. You must dig through
what clouds your mind and what clogs your heart to find your way
back home; home to your spiritual base.
WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed – Page 11
Power is what every living creature exercises to some degree.
Power exerts energy and requires some type of control. Power
doesn't move or act on its own volition. Power is a force that is
directed.
Now to him who is able to do exceedingly,
abundantly more than all we ask or think according
to his power that works within us.
Ephesians 3:20
L IV E W I T H S PIRI TU AL POW ER
Ability is birthed out of possibility. Your abilities are defined by
what God deems possible. Because you were created in the image
of the One who believes nothing is impossible; you have
extraordinary power to accomplish extraordinary things. Your
greatest moments are yet to be lived.
Jesus answered and said unto them,
Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not,
ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree,
but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed,
and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
Matthew 21:21
WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed – Page 12
The greatest of inventions comes from within the mind of the one
who invents it. The greatest of physical strength comes from
within the body that exudes it. The greatest of songs comes from
within the one that sings it.
I will praise thee, for I am fearfully,
wonderfully made.
Psalm 139:14
B ELI EV E W I TH Y OUR SPIR IT
Your existence is not by chance. You are not a mistake. You are
not a victim of circumstance. You are a masterpiece crafted by the
hand of God Divine. God has created you with reason and with
purpose. God has designed you with intellect and power.
You have the power to break through every negative circumstance.
You don't have to go far for the wisdom that can break through
your incapabilities and insecurities. In the deep place you can
connect to the source of all knowledge and all power for the
answers you need. Divine strategies are within reach. Strategic
solutions are not far from you.
But thou, when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet,
and when thou hast shut thy door,
pray to thy Father which is in secret;
and thy Father which seeth in secret
shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:6
WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed – Page 13
So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God
he created them; male and female he created them. God
blessed them, and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply,
and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the
fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every
living thing that moves upon the earth. God saw everything
that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.
~Genesis 1:27-28
UN LEAS H YOUR P OW ER
To be created in the image and likeness of God means that you
share God's DNA. What you can do is only limited by what you
believe. You have been designed to live a productive, prosperous
and purposeful life.
Like the elephant, we are unconscious of our own strength.
When it comes to understanding the power we have to make a
difference in our own lives, we might as well be asleep. If you
want to make your dreams come true, wake up. Wake up to
your own strength. Wake up to the role you play in your own
destiny. Wake up to the power you have to choose what you
think, do, and say.
~ Keith Ellis
WHEN HEAVEN MEETS EARTH: Your Spiritual Power Revealed – Page 14
Your spiritual makeup is equipped with the power you need to live
the life you were born to have. Wake up to your true spiritual
identity. Wake up to your power. You are more than who and what
you see in the mirror. You are greater than your accomplishments
and stronger than your defeats.
A journey of self-discovery will reveal your unique greatness.
This journey will not only empower you but also transform you.
A return to your spiritual roots will lead you beyond religious
tradition to the very gate and portal of God. In this secret place,
God will reveal the fountain of youth, the power of eternity and
the wisdom of heaven.
ST AY CONNECT ED TO YOUR P OWER SOUR CE
The greatest of prophets points to the road that leads to the
abundant life. Jesus said, "I have come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly." This is not to be
interpreted to mean a religious life. Jesus revealed in his own
persona the power of human potential. As a teacher, Jesus
provided and still provides instruction on the deeper life.
An exciting adventure awaits all who dare to believe that life, as
we know it is full of glorious possibilities. This moment marks
new beginnings ahead. Live your life to the fullest. Live it with
power. Live it with purpose.
