These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. - John 16:33.

Fourth dimensional living:

Now my science friends call me on certain words I use. Such as fourth dimension. Or third dimension. I put one as time, space and matter - material world. And one fourth dimension - spirit world. So names in this case doesn't really matter, because we know we have a material world - as we have a spirit world. So we just call those by a name. You could call them anything as long as we understand there is two, and they are different. My friends have no terminology for them (most), but want to know how I know and why I call them by a name. So I explain the same to them.

Human beings live in a material world, you can touch it, taste it - handle it if you will. My point in talking about the two worlds is; we are to live in another dimension. Fourth dimension (let your conversation be in heaven - earth living, lifestyle knowledge). It is the world of the spirit. You get your understanding out of this world. The Holy Spirit had to be poured out in a material world, because he did not exist in the world as he does today. He came into the world (pentecost) to help men and women (paraclete), to bring them to Christ, as well as teach them Christ in this world.

Now we say he still exists in the fourth dimension because he is Spirit. But his ministry is different than say that of - the old testament. In days of old he came upon men to do certain tasks for the Lord. Today he is in them (soul) as their teacher - so we can see a completely different ministry by the Holy Spirit from the old to the new.

In a human being, there is that thing - the more you get the more you want. That can be a good thing if you can get that switched over to the spirit world. If you live in a material world - your wants are never fulfilled. You get a better job, you want a better house. You get a car, and you want a better car. Never ends the wants. We need things and the Lord will give us both - our needs as well as our wants sometimes. The world can be a pleasurable place. But it has those traps as well. The snare is; the lord knows the intent and desire of the heart. Only the Lord knows those kind of things the are in man.

Just read your article here, Soulman.

My teacher has also made mention of the fourth dimension and you sharing it here brings it to mind.

He called it the Fourth Dimension Christian, and it is as you stated the state of the spiritual living opposed to the desires of the flesh which as you had stated are never satisfied. The spiritual needs are much more satisfying knowing you have an established relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God whom was the creator of all things, by and through in step with the Fathers (heart/mind/will/emotion).

Good read, and it is true that there are traps that can start to hang us up if they are indulged. Such as the desires of mainly the fleshly nature that can drag ones attention away from God, though it may just be the occasion of the flesh that rises up sometimes as we live our Christian life. The best thing to do is to be aware of it so that it can be noticed and looked at by self reflection, in my best estimation.

In Christ,
Matthew Gallagher
