Very few people live in the spirit realm!
There are three distinct realms people can live in: spiritual, soulish, and fleshly. As believers, we are meant to live in the spiritual realm as did Jesus.
The tabernacle was a shadow of the true tabernacle found in Heaven. There was the outer court, the Holy place, and the Holy of Holies.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 8:
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
8 Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah-
9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
FATHER is the One Who puts HIS Laws both in our minds and on our hearts. We are sealed by The Holy Spirit.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 1:
21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
22 Who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
This is our assurance of our eternal relationship with FATHER. Your sins will not break this seal. The only thing that can break this seal is an outright rejection of The Holy Spirit after you have been sealed. FATHER’S commitment to us is unconditional as is HIS Love for us. Jesus’ sacrifice was required only once for all, not continual temporary sacrifices as required by the Old Covenant.
Continuing in Hebrews chapter 8:
11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.“
13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Jesus made the Old Covenant totally obsolete by fulfilling the New Covenant. Why should we try to adhere to Old Covenant thinking by subjecting ourselves to performance-based religion. Jesus eliminated the conditional “if, then” orientation which has been preached by many. We are righteous by The Blood of Jesus, not by our performance.
With this in mind, Paul began the chapter with:
1 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, Who is seated at the Right Hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the Heavens,
2 a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer.
4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;
5 who serve the copy and shadow of the Heavenly things, as Moses was Divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
Moses was shown the Tabernacle in Heaven and was instructed to pattern the earthly tabernacle after what he saw. Do you want to cling to the shadow or the real thing? In what realm do you wish to reside?
