7 Dimensions of the Supernatural Realm
Author: Apostle Frequency Revelator
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781521758496
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
In this publication, Apostle Frequency Revelator explores the divine revelation of the 7 Universal dimensions of the supernatural realm which believers can progress through in their spiritual journey or voyage of exploration of the greater depths of the spirit realm. It is worth exploring the divine truth that Faith is the first dimension of the supernatural realm, the Anointing is the second dimension and the Mantle is the third dimension. So, in order to tap into the higher realms of supernatural, one has to step out or be catapulted from the realm of faith (first dimension) through the realm of the anointing (second dimension) into the realm of the mantle (third dimension). The grand entrance into the realm of the anointing is through faith. Faith is the ever empowering awareness of the invisible world and its realities. Faith is the currency of Heaven and functions as an antenna whose frequency is being tuned to the spiritual waves that come directly from the Throne room of Heaven. Although faith is a lower plane in the realm of God and a starting point for all humanity endeavouring to reach the realm of eternity, faith is what introduces you to the anointing and accentuates an avenue for the glory of God to be manifested. The anointing is the divine impartation of God's supernatural abilities and traits upon an available and yielded vessel in order to undertake delegated divine tasks efficiently and effectively. The solidification and build-up of the anointing will usher you into another higher dimension called the mantle, which is an emblem of God's manifest presence in the natural realm and functions as a spiritual covering that rests upon an individual in order to exercise a heightened degree of authority or dominion over a territory. The Presence is the fourth dimension of the supernatural, the Miraculous is the fifth dimension and the Glory is the sixth dimension while Love is the 7th and highest dimension, coined as the God Dimension. As we continue to progress heavenward in the spirit realm, you can be catapulted from the presence (Fourth Dimension), into the miraculous arena (fifth dimension) and from the miraculous domain into the Glory realm until you are thrust into the (Love) God dimension which is the 7th and highest Dimension of the supernatural. The presence represents a radiation or refection of God's glory. The presence is not the glory but the radiation or refection of that glory. It is a signal that God is in the house. On the other hand, the miraculous is an incredible happening, occurrence or unusual manifestation that takes place in the natural realm as a result of a sudden divine intervention of God in the affairs of humanity to the extent that it cannot be fathomed or comprehended by human reasoning and intellectual ability. The glory is a tangible and visible supernatural manifestation of the fullness or totality of God from the realm of the spirit into the realm of the physical. It is the intrinsic essence of who God is characterised or manifested by His nature, character, being, attributes or virtues. While the anointing is given to an individual for service to complete specific tasks, the glory is given for elevation or promotion in the spirit. The anointing is what breeds the glory because the anointing causes one to execute tasks and brings them to perfect completion which would then entitle one to be in a position to receive the glory. The anointing is given to bring the glory of God into manifestation. You get to see the glory of God through the anointing because the anointing is what connects you to the glory of God. In our journey in the spirit dimension, there is a realm which a man can be catapulted into which marks the highest level of spiritual contact with God. It is called the seventh dimension. That realm is the realm of love. It is a realm of perfection. It is a dimension in which God Himself lives, breathes and operates.

Keys to Unlocking the Supernatural Realm
Author: Apostle Frequency Revelator
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781521758489
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
In this publication, Apostle Frequency Revelator explores the divine revelation of the 7 keys to unlocking the supernatural realm. These are vital secrets which when taped by any believer can launch you into the greater depths of the supernatural realm. Revelation is the first key for unlocking the supernatural realm. It is the master key to operating in the realm of the miraculous. It is such a multipurpose key--an indispensable necessity to unlocking the door to the kind of power that is explosive and electrifying in the spirit realm. Revelation is what sparks off a renaissance and provokes a spiritual revolution in the natural realm. It grants unrestricted access to the higher realms of glory and the deep things of God. It is revelation that brings elevation in the realm of the spirit. Revelation unlocks destiny, decodes destiny codes and jettisons one into unknown arenas of their manifested destiny. Revelation breeds supernatural acceleration of things in the spirit realm. Faith is the second key to unlocking the supernatural realm. Faith is the currency of Heaven and functions as an antenna whose frequency is being tuned to the spiritual waves that come directly from the Throne room of Heaven. The Lord Jesus gave us faith as the recipe for effecting a change in any situation. In other words, to change any seemingly hopeless situation, what you need do is to declare faith-filled words; talk to the mountain. Authority and power are also powerful twin processes for unlocking the supernatural realm. This is applicable in divergent areas of ministry, business, health, power and prosperity especially with regard to talking authority over money. It is disheartening to note that a multitude of believers continue to enjoy the limited outer court of God's blessings because they have not fully comprehended the dynamics of authority in the realm of the spirit. Dominion is another key for unlocking the supernatural realm. As much as you have dominion over the natural environment, the birds of the air, the fish and vegetation, you also have the dominion and the boldness to exercise authority over money and release millions in wealth in your life. In the same way as you cut down a tree and use it for firewood or furniture you can also call money to come and use it for purposes of the Kingdom. Dominion means talking as God talks, acting as God acts, and thinking as God thinks, seeing as God sees, and operating exactly as God operates. Prophetic intercession is one of the integral keys to unlocking the supernatural realm. Prophetic prayer is usually described as the act of commanding God's "prophetic vision" to be fulfilled in the earth, with the result that God's will is accomplished. Prophetic prayer is aimed at individuals, so they will fulfil their "prophetic purpose" (their service in God's plan), and at the world in general, so that God's desires is accomplished on earth.Visualization is another important key for unlocking the supernatural realm. Visualizing has been operating in your life whether you knew it or not. Inside each one of us is an image of your person, is an image of your circumstances, and is an image that is in that spirit realm where the soul contacts the spirit. Before you have prosperity in your life you have to have an image built from the word of God into your soul. So that when you see yourself as God sees physically it begins to take place.Standing in the presence of God is one such powerful key for unlocking the supernatural realm The presence of God is not something we can take lightly. The presence of God is something that we have to take with reverence. It is awesome, sacred, and holy. It is the presence of God that catapults us to higher realms of power.

Supernatural Entertainments
Author: Simone Natale
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271077379
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
In Supernatural Entertainments, Simone Natale vividly depicts spiritualism’s rise as a religious and cultural phenomenon and explores its strong connection to the growth of the media entertainment industry in the nineteenth century. He frames the spiritualist movement as part of a new commodity culture that changed how public entertainments were produced and consumed. Starting with the story of the Fox sisters, considered the first spiritualist mediums in history, Natale follows the trajectory of spiritualism in Great Britain and the United States from its foundation in 1848 to the beginning of the twentieth century. He demonstrates that spiritualist mediums and leaders adopted many of the promotional strategies and spectacular techniques that were being developed for the broader entertainment industry. Spiritualist mediums were indistinguishable from other professional performers, as they had managers and agents, advertised in the press, and used spectacularism to draw audiences. Addressing the overlap between spiritualism’s explosion and nineteenth-century show business, Natale provides an archaeology of how the supernatural became a powerful force in the media and popular culture of today.

Author: Graham Hancock
Publisher: Red Wheel Weiser
ISBN: 1934708380
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 503
Book Description
Publisher’s Note: A new, expanded edition has replaced this book under the new title Visionary: The Mysterious Origins of Human Consciousness, ISBN 9781637480069 This definitive edition includes a new Introduction by Graham Hancock as well as restored chapters that were omitted from the original paperback release. Less than fifty thousand years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Supernatural Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "beforeandafter moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind. His quest takes him on a detective journey from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa, where he finds extraordinary Stone Age art. He uncovers clues that lead him to the depths of the Amazon rainforest to drink the powerful hallucinogen Ayahuasca with shamans, whose paintings contain images of "supernatural beings" identical to the animalhuman hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves. Hallucinogens such as mescaline also produce visionary encounters with exactly the same beings. Scientists at the cutting edge of consciousness research have begun to consider the possibility that such hallucinations may be real perceptions of other "dimensions." Could the "supernaturals" first depicted in the painted caves be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be that human evolution is not just the "meaningless" process that Darwin identified, but something more purposive and intelligent that we have barely begun to understand?

Book Description
Now in paperback. A journey through the attempts artists, scientists, and tinkerers have made to imagine and communicate with the otherworldly using various technologies, from cameras to radiowaves. Strange Frequencies takes readers on an extraordinary narrative and historical journey to discover how people have used technology in an effort to search for our own immortality. Bebergal builds his own ghostly gadgets to reach the other side, too, and follows the path of famous inventors, engineers, seekers, and seers who attempted to answer life's ultimate mysteries.
