a whole new dimension...
Get real, Philip... whadaya mean... another dimension... another realm... there is only one dimension... right here... right now... this natural world... the one we are living in... come on, Philip... get on the planet old fella...
Scripture talks about living in it... living right here in this whole natural world... but at the same time not being a part of it... it suggests another realm... a spirit realm we can live in... where we can actually live and move and experience "life"... in a whole other way...
That's the one I'm talking about... that life in the spirit is at war with the natural life... and the only way into that spirit life... is to die... not natural death... but death to all that is natural...a death to living out of that natural life...
if we want to save our life... we have to lose it... unless a grain of wheat goes into the ground and dies... it does not bring forth life...
Jesus says to us: "Come, follow me..." To do that... we need to go where he went... to the cross... and die there... in Him...
Then the war really begins for us.... it goes on the rest of our natural life... except... each time we win the next battle... it gets easier... and it opens up that other realm... we can see it more and more clearly each time...
I wouldn't trade it for anything the natural life has to offer...
