“Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that the things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” – Hebrews 11:3 (KJV)
The spirit world created this material world. Many of us have been so hung up on this world that we fail to lay hold on the realm of the Spirit which is more real. And as a result, we are not getting the victory we are supposed to have. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:3 that “Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that the things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” In other words, what you are seeing was not made out of what was seen.
The realm of the spirit is more superior, more dependable, and more trustworthy than the physical realm. It rules, controls and governs this very material realm. So, if you know how to navigate yourself in the realm of the spirit, you will control your circumstances and your challenges. The book of John 1:1-3 declares: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made” (KJV).
Right there in John 1:1, the Bible tells us: “In the beginning was the word, and the word was God.” God is a spirit. Therefore, the Word of God is also the Spirit. Jesus said in John 6:63, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” In other words, the Spirit makes the flesh alive and the flesh (the natural) profits nothing. Notice also that the words are Spirit and life. Since the Spirit created this material world, then the Spirit is superior to the material world.
