  THE LAWS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN Part 1
  

  The unseen world of the Kingdom of Heaven is available to men on earth today by faith.  Let me give yet another illustration.  Radio is a method of sending out sounds for long distances by the use of electricity.  The radio waves are sent out from a tower.  The waves travel out in all directions and they are everywhere.  That is why you can travel down the highway at 80 miles an hour and clearly pick up the signal at all times.  But — you must have a receiver!  A radio receiver is usually called a radio set or just a radio.  One of its parts is the antenna.  The radio waves in the air strike the antenna and are carried into the set.  Of course, the air is full of radio waves broadcast by different stations.  The place where you sit as you read these lines is literally filled with radio waves.  Music, voices, and noises of various kinds are all around you, passing through the walls, and even your body.  Do you feel them?  Can you hear them?  Do you see them?  No — but they are there, they are all there, co-extensive with every visible thing, occupying the very same space!  Yet each wave exists in a different “world” entirely.  They are on different frequencies.  Therefore they don’t interfere with each other, they don’t mix and become all scrambled up.  They are not in the same world.           

              That is what I mean by a “realm” or “dimension.”  It is like a frequency.  It can occupy the same space and yet be another world altogether.  That’s how God can be in heaven and in the room where you are sitting and in your heart at the same time.  He is simply on a different frequency, in a different dimension or realm, but occupying the same space.  Heaven has nothing to do with a “place,” either here or beyond the stars.  Heaven is a REALM OF REALITY, a DIMENSION OF LIFE.  It is as omnipresent as God is omnipresent, as omnipresent as the universe is omnipresent —  it is where He dwells.   

              In order to hear the radio sounds that are in the air you must turn on your receiver.  But you want to select only one of these wave lengths.  For that purpose the receiver has a tuner.  As you turn the dial, at each position a different frequency will flow into the condenser and then be translated into sound heard by your ear.  The radio waves exist as it were in a different “dimension” than the things you naturally see, feel and hear; but they are right there, nevertheless, and can be heard if you are able to “tune in” to them.  In like manner, the Kingdom of Heaven is all around you and right within you IF ONLY YOU CAN TUNE IN TO IT!  That is what Jesus meant when He said repeatedly, “He that hath an ear, let him hear!”  The spiritual ear is the “tuner” of the New Creation Man! 

              The definition “three dimensional” is used to express a law of physics which mathematically proves the length, height and depth of the universe.  All physical things have these three dimensions of height, length and depth — a bead, a book, a house, a mountain, a planet, a star, or a universe.  And yet — the three are ONE!  If you have an ice-cube, the height of the cube occupies the same space as its depth or its length.  They are not three separate “places” within the cube, but three “dimensions” or realities occupying the same space.   

              A book called Flatland, by Dr. Abbott, attempts to show how there is above us and about us other powers which we little realize.  In that very clever, small volume, Dr. Abbott uses a keen analogy.  He tells of “Flatland” where there was neither up nor down.  Everything moved in two dimensions only.  Various geometrical forms of matter, as triangles, squares, octagons, points, and lines represented the soldiers, wives, politicians, and various groups of personalities in that flat land.  The author appeals that if someone from another dimension world were to reach into the kitchen of Flatland and lift out a cook stove it would be an unexplainable catastrophe to the people of two dimensions — length and breadth.  They could not look up or down, and so the removal of the stove  would be a mystery too deep for their limited lives.  Now, suppose the same power would put the cook stove back in answer to their prayers.  That would be a profound “miracle” to them.  But to the person of the higher dimension it would be very simple and not miraculous at all! 

              Since God exists in a world of other dimensions, then heaven is closer than religionists would like to think!  It is all around us, yet we have no way of knowing it unless we are able to “tune in” to its frequency.  And it operates upon laws that pertain to that other world, laws which the carnal mind can never comprehend, but laws just as true and precise as the laws of the physical world.  When God operates in our world by those higher laws we call it a “miracle,” but in that world it is natural.  What to God is normal and elementary is to man mysterious, miraculous and inexplicable.  The ability to move into another dimension and back again in spirit, soul, and body, was demonstrated by Jesus when He moved in and out of closed rooms without having to use a door, and when He moved through crowds without being seen.  All of His signs, wonders and miracles were but acts performed according to the spiritual laws of the spiritual world.  To one living in that world there is nothing “miraculous” about it — it is normal!  The Kingdom of Heaven is a miracle realm: for it is the dwelling place and operation sphere of the Lord God Almighty.  It is how and where He works.  It is a super-natural realm, that is, above and beyond what to us is natural.  The supernatural element pertains to all He does.  Therefore, when He wants something done without the supernatural in it, He employs someone of the carnal, natural plane to do it! 

              We should not have to try and convince anyone that there is a spirit dimension and there is a matter dimension.  The inspired apostle states it this way: “The things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”  The Kingdom of Heaven refers to a vast realm of spiritual reality.  All spiritual reality emanates from this one realm of the Kingdom of the Spirit, even before Jesus opened this realm to all men. As one has written: “What do we find in the Bible?  A continuous record of happenings that we call supernatural, which cannot be fitted into our interpretations of normal cause and effect.  Abraham and Sarah have a child when respectively an hundred, and ninety years old; Joseph accurately foretells through dreams; Moses brings plagues on Egypt, crosses the Red Sea on dry land, gets water from a rock and daily manna; Joshua crosses the Jordan, and brings down the walls of Jericho, and stops the sun for a day; Elijah stops and then brings the rain; Elisha makes an axehead swim; Daniel spends a night among hungry lions; the three young men walk in the fiery furnace and come out without even the smell of smoke on them.  Jesus was continually doing things beyond natural explanation, bringing calm in a storm, walking on water and thus counteracting gravity, feeding five thousand with five loaves, healing all kinds of diseases, and raising the dead.  Paul and the apostles saw prison doors open, chains fall off, the dead raised up.  Do we not recognize that here are happenings which are products of another dimension, the spirit dimension, and altogether beyond the scope of human thinking and action?” 

              No law of nature can be broken, but any law may be superseded by a higher law.  Lower laws may always be overruled by higher laws.  Such overruling occurs when we walk in the spiritual order of the Kingdom of Heaven.  So-called miracles are not really miracles at all, any more than the airplane that defies the law of gravity and flies through the sky is a miracle.  It is simply that the law of aero-dynamics supersedes and transcends the law of gravity.  Miracles are simply VERY NATURAL ACTIVITIES ACCORDING TO A HIGHER LAW.  When one is sick and the illness has not responded to medical treatment, if we then minister out of the power of the Kingdom of Heaven and the person is healed, no natural law has been violated.  A new and higher law has been demonstrated — the law of the Kingdom.  Jesus came and demonstrated this realm in an unprecedented measure and proclaimed its accessibility to all men.  The manifested sons of God shall manifest out of this Kingdom Realm  to bring deliverance to all creation.  We have experienced its power and its glory by measure, but the day of fullness is wonderfully nigh at hand and the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of God.  That is the Word of the Lord to this generation.  The Day is dawning! 

              Scattered among earth’s billions is a special species of people.  They are in the world but not of it.  These have known from the beginning that they were different.  They have gone through the motions, tried to be a good Christian, held every office in the church and tried to live the way they were told.  But in the midst of all the effort to belong, there has always been something that kept this people from blending in with the majority.  There has been an emptiness and a knowing deep inside that this was not the reason they were here.  There has always been something that separated them from all the external forms of religion they have passed through.  This, precious friend of mine, is the day of RECOGNITION!  This is your day of knowing and understanding where you came from and where you have been in order to arrive where you are right now, and where you are going.  Something deep within has cried out, “I didn’t come into this world just to get saved from hell.”  Deep has called unto deep and you knew you were born for a purpose.  You knew that you were here by divine appointment.  You knew there was something greater, more glorious, and  transcendental in God.  You knew you were born to unveil God’s great plan, will, purpose, wisdom, nature, power and glory in the earth! 

              While writing this message a sermon tape arrived in the mail from Bob Torango in Dickson, Tennessee.  It was precious to hear that he was speaking of these same realities.  At one point he said, “Moses had to wake up to who he was.  Moses thought he was Pharaoh’s son.  He thought he was an Egyptian.  He had no idea that his mother had put him in an ark and floated him down the river.  He had no idea who he was until he met up with his kindred.  In that experience he found his true citizenship.  He discovered that he was nothing more than a resident of Egypt.  God revealed to him that he was a free-born Hebrew.  He was not a Hebrew by pledge — he had been birthed into that reality.  And today the Spirit of God makes clear to God’s elect that we are not of that Jerusalem that is below, but we are citizens of that Jerusalem that is above, which is the mother of us all.  God is re-introducing us to who we really are.  Instead of so many titles He is awakening us to what kind of blood-life flows through our veins.  It is not the life of man, but the very life of God that is invested in us.  And armed with this knowledge we are becoming less and less identified with the outer man and more and more identified with the inner man. 

              “I have a friend in Oklahoma who has a Green Card.  I never knew that Chris wasn’t an American.  He acts like an American, he talks like an American, he looks like an American.  He doesn’t speak Slavic or any other language.  He speaks perfect English.  And yet — I just found out that my friend isn’t an American.  He’s still a citizen of England.  He has a Green Card.  Amazing!  To think that someone I have been around so long isn’t even a citizen of our country.  You know, there are a lot of people in the world like that.  There are a lot of people praising, singing, clapping, worshipping, paying tithes, working; they have ministries, they are blessing people, but they haven’t yet  become citizens of the HEAVENLY KINGDOM.  The churches are filled with people who don’t know what country they belong to.  They are expecting a deposed, exiled King to come back from outer space and rescue them.  They are waiting to be evacuated from planet Earth.  But for those of us who are citizens of the Kingdom of God, OUR KING IS IN ZION — and we are the Zion of the Holy one of Israel (Isa. 60:14)”   — end quote.  

              From the time when the morning stars sang together and the sons of God first shouted for joy, rhythm and rapture have rolled upward and onward through all the boundless and endless spiritual universe as the sweet expression of the mind and will of almighty God.  This spiritual universe, this Kingdom of Heaven, is the home and heritage of every son of God.  He belongs to it, and it belongs to him.  He is in it, and it is in him.  He holds himself in harmony with it, and it fills his spirit with its songs.  He apprehends its truth, enjoys its beauties, expresses its love, utilizes its power and partakes of its holiness.  There is no place in it where he may not feel at home — no place where he has not a right to be; for it has been the Father’s good pleasure to give him the Kingdom.  His life is not measured by years, but by its possibilities and expansiveness.  Divinity and eternity are born within him.  This is the power and the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven!
