Gateway to Spiritual Power ( or Levels of Authority)

Many have discovered and learned the principles of creating and attracting abundance by means of creative thought with great success and achievement. It is on this level where positive thinking, positive speech and visualization find their usefulness.

Many books and teachings exist on the subject of the power of positive thought and visualization, and with good reason. There is a lot of truth in the concept of creative visualization when combined with faith.

Unfortunately, hidden within many of these teachings is a great and dangerous flaw that will lead to many disappointments for the spiritually uninformed.

There are limits to our mental creativity and power of thought. The reason mental creativity is limited, is because it is not the ultimate level of authority and it is actually only a sub-activity or a gateway towards the higher dimension of spiritual power.

Many will practice the power of creative thought with an attitude of trial and error and they do not know why it is not as effective as advertised.

Many teachings on the Law of Attraction and mental power do not recognise the principles stipulated below:

Key Point

One level of authority and power supports the principles of a higher dimension.

The higher level of authority always supersedes the laws of all lower levels.

The Law of the Spirit is the highest law in control of the universe.

Today we know by the discoveries made in the field of quantum physics, that it is by thought that we can influence the laws of nature and even create reality with the quantum particles, the building blocks of all matter in the universe. Our minds have a direct influence on our environment, our bodies and social community. It is worthwhile to take note of these principles, for they are very useful in preparing your mind set for even a higher level of authority.

According to many New Age theories, man is the ultimate creator and “Master of the Universe”, the universe being like the genie who says, “Your wish is my command”. This egoistic, self-exalting principle is selling books like hot cake nowadays and has great appeal to the inherent egoistic nature of the carnal man. These teachings lead to ultimate disappointment for those uninformed readers, who are unaware that a higher more authentic Intelligence is actually laying down the boundaries and the rules from a higher spiritual dimension, not man during his insignificant fleeting moment of existence on earth!

Nevertheless, the theories on creative thought and the Law of Attraction do work when practiced within the guidelines of the higher Law of the Spirit, whether the practitioner of these principles is aware of the different levels of authority or not.

The physical universe originated from a thought, spoken into existence by the Creator who has first formed the prototype of the physical universe in the spiritual realm.

You were created in the image of God, mainly as a spiritual man, because God is a Spirit. Your mind is a hub for God’s thoughts to transfer form and order into this physical world. This means that whatever we create by method of thought and visualization will suggest images to the substance of virtual matter that is available throughout space in universe. These suggestive images can direct the flow of increase and substance into our personal “worlds” by means of naturally available channels on this level of authority.

The Creative Spirit created the universe with the capacity to contain the substance and “knowledge” to supply in all our needs by method of our authority on the levels of creative thought, visualisation and faith.

You are the representative of God in your world and sphere of influence. You can be a great source of abundance, blessing and increase to yourself, your family and every person that encounters you.

On the level of creative thought, mental science states the following:

“While the laws of the universe cannot be altered, we can direct the laws of the universe to work under certain conditions as proposed by our thoughts to produce results in advancement for the individual which would normally not be possible by the spontaneous workings of the law by nature”.

This is true, but this statement on its own should not be viewed as the ultimate law for attraction. The aim of this statement is not to explain the higher spiritual laws and may even exclude the role of the Creator of the universe in its viewpoint. It does state something that should however be noted: on this level of authority, the principle of creative thought is dependent on existing available channels of provision in the natural.

There is a higher level of spiritual power available for us, and if we can understand the workings of this realm, not only will we effectively be able to attract provision and healing through natural available channels, we will start to function on the level of the miraculous.

What is the difference between the levels of mental creation and divine intervention?

• Creative thought is dependant on naturally available resources – i.e. the Law of Attraction

• Divine intervention can create and manifest in the physical if it is not available, it is called miracles, signs and wonders

In John 3, Nicodemus, a well-educated priest and leader of the Jewish community, came in the night to ask Jesus about His power to do miracles signs and wonders. He wanted to know exactly how Jesus was able to perform these demonstrations of supernatural power.

Jesus showed him the way to supernatural ability saying: If you are not born of Spirit and water, you will not enter the kingdom of God.

Let’s quickly do a logical calculation here:

Nicodemus asked: Miracles, signs and wonders

Jesus answered: The kingdom of God

Interesting is the fact that Jesus viewed the kingdom of God as something to be seen on earth and the way we will see it is by means of miracles, signs and wonders.

The Entrance to Power according to the most spiritually empowered Person ever, is to become renewed in the spirit by the empowerment of the Spirit of God, and then to be renewed (in the mind) by the washing of His Word.

Trying to master techniques that will result in supernatural outcomes without realizing its relation to the higher dimension of the Spirit of God, is why many teachings are so vulnerable and the results many times disappointing. Not seeing the bigger picture leaves the practitioner in the arena of trial and error on a mental plane of human philosophy.

Never forget that to be successful, you will need to learn about spiritual authority and where it originates.

Probably only one percent of the world’s population knows and applies the principles of creative visualisation with great success on the second level of authority. Of this one percent of people who have attained to the knowledge of higher dimensions of creativity, ninety percent of them will not proceed further into the 4th dimension and will be quite content to stay on the level of creative visualisation.

Having spiritual knowledge and understanding the elementary concept of the Way of the Spirit, will unleash a supernatural flow of provision and abundance into your life. It is a simple principle that we will look at in more depth in later chapters.

The Way of the Spirit is to think, live, act in a way and with the purpose to create increase, health or positive outcomes for others by means of supernatural interference. The law that underwrites this way of living is universal and states that when you live this way, increase will be given to you anyway, without you seeking or labouring for it. It is an infallible spiritual law that cannot fail.

Mathew 6:33

But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

Do you see the difference between our traditional way of thinking and the Way of the Spirit?

• We have been trained and pre-conditioned to think we have to do everything in our power and according   to our natural intellect to be successful in life.

• The Way of the Spirit teaches us that we have to do everything to expand God’s kingdom and His will, to   do well to others in order for   supernatural provision to flow into our lives.

Everything in the physical universe is subject to the spiritual principles of God, who has created and founded these universal laws.

The Bible clearly states the following: “God is Love”

The highest law in the universe and in heaven is the law of love.

The laws of the universe and the power of thought are subject to the Law of Love.

The nature of God is unconditional love.

Real love is recognised by the act of giving and sacrifice.

Giving can be in the form of time, effort, your presence, support, sharing knowledge, kindness, material giving or using spiritual power to supernaturally help others, to name a few.

There is only one Entrance to Spiritual Power and the higher dimension, with even more authority and power, a better and more excellent way…
