The three realms of prayer are:
Asking - Where we make requests and ask forgiveness from the Lord.
Seeking - This is where we are no longer giving Him our needs, but are instead seeking His fellowship. This is initiated by God and is the "waiting" portion of prayer.
Knocking - This is when we arrive at his home and enter into heart-to-heart communion with Him.
This is where we experience the promise of Isaiah 40.31:
"But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint."This is where we enter into the "secret place" of Psalm 91, where we enter into the fullness of intimacy with God and are completely safe and protected.
Not many make it to this stage of fellowship with God, but stay at the asking stage.
God works from the inside out. When He gave Moses the plans to build the tabernacle, He instructed Him to build the Ark of the Covenant first. Outward transformation starts from inward communion with God.
God desires our fellowship, the fellowship of human hearts. Unlike the angels, He made us for fellowship.
If we live where our needs are, we will be defeated. But if we go beyond our needs and experience fellowship with God almighty, our needs vanish and our hearts become knit together with his. This is where communion begins.
Rushing in and out of God's presence insults his glory.
If you are repeatedly repenting of the same sins, you are not living in freedom and are not in fellowship with the Lord.
It takes time and persistence.
Angels live in God's presence. If we want the help of angels, we need to enter into God's presence. We don't see and experience angels because we don't live in his presence.
Psalm 103:20 tells us that angels "excel in strength" and hearken to the word of God spoken. And who speaks it? We do. Peter's release from prison was an example of this, as angels responded to passionate, persistent prayer on his behalf.
We need to bask in his presence.
Healing takes place in his presence. If He is not there, healing will not happen. But sickness dies in the presence of Jesus.
The deeper the worship, the quieter the soul. When you get that close, anything can happen. You can ask for anything and it will happen.
We can experience Jesus' presence as real as Peter, James and John when He was on the earth.
When in fellowship, when in intimacy beyond words, the words that we pray are not of the flesh. In this place, the words we pray will surprise us.
The intimacy we have with our human spouse is only a shadow of the intimacy we will have with God.
Many people experience the soulish realm and call it spiritual. Our emotions are soulish because they are all about feelings. But if a person is just experiencing feelings and emotions, once they leave the atmosphere of that moment, they are just as empty as they were before.
When you experience the spiritual, you take it with you. You don't leave empty.
You can only "pray without ceasing" in the spiritual realm.
In the ‘Third Realm’, where the voice of God is now clear; your words actually become offensive because it is here where silence rules. In that realm tears become your language and the Holy Spirit is in full control.
God will not allow us experience this realm if we are distracted. When we let go of the things that come to take our attention away; then what will happen will be so intense, so powerful it will absolutely impact your life.
Even entering this realm just one single time is enough to change your life.
