JOHN 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
JOHN 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
JOHN 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Awareness is to see and hear spiritually — to discern the Lord.
Developing awareness enables us to bridge the gap between the seen and the unseen, bringing us to the place of living in two realms.
In the tabernacle in the wilderness, there was a veil between the Holy Place and the Holiest of All. This veil separated the two realms.
The Tabernacle was a picture of the tripartite nature of man: Body, Soul and Spirit, with the outer court representing our body, the holy place our soul, and the Holiest of All our spirit.
We see that the veil is located between our soul and spirit.
The apostle Paul spoke about this in 2 Corinthians, chapter 3, when he said that the veil over one’s heart, mind, emotion, will, can be removed when that heart is turned to the Lord.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament, which veil is done away in Christ. 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. 16 Nevertheless when it (the heart) shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
Paul then goes on to say that if we turn our heart (our mind and emotions with the act of our will) to the Lord, we can behold the unseen realm, the glory of the Lord:
2 CORINTHIANS 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Practice the presence of God.
This is the greatest key to virtually everything spiritual and secular. You must believe that you can come at any time into the presence of God.
Your unworthiness does not handicap God. Learn to stand in the presence of God knowing that He loves you, knowing that you are accepted and welcome.
We are told to come boldly into His presence. The word boldly is an unusual word to use here. It almost indicates an attitude of forcefulness or even arrogance.
HEBREWS 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Boldness in Greek is parrhesia: boldness, assurance and confidence. It has the meaning of coming into the Lord’s presence with an absolute assurance that you are welcomed and accepted.
The very fact that we are invited to do this, implies that it can be easily done. To many of us, this seems difficult because we are dealing with developing a relationship with someone who is invisible.
However, the apostle Paul clearly said that we can achieve this by seeing or looking into the invisible world.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
