A spiritual realm is thought as a growth or height in spiritual plateaus. Many times those who do not seek God's spiritual growth remain in a lesser chances to understand greater countenance of spiritual revolution of things involving revelation of God’s presence and existence. As being far more rewarded greater in your relationship spiritual realms can be received by total commitment and without reservation of doubt. To aid in removing doubts you must receive the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit which knows all things in regard to your spiritual growth will engage you with spiritual encounters of growth. Your meditation of Spirit will continue will deep concentration of spiritual realms of growth. The development of your growth with God’s own Spirit will give you new heights of realms where upon you will become a living vessel of spirit totally living by God’s Spirit in obedience, faith and trust. Never doubting the spiritual gifts you’ll receive are far greater than you can imagine. New spiritual realms also bring forth fruits in which the gospel teaches. These are fruits which a taken and feed you with God’s Word so that your living is a living spirit of God Himself. You will find with deepest meditation Jesus is your Savior and giver of the Comforter which teaches you all things pertaining to God’s Spirit. You will become in a unity and thus the spiritual realms of the secrets of God will teach you on the virtue and beatitudes of having fulfilling spiritual realms and the next level of growth. It is the importance of meditation on God who is Spirit and thereby your worship and realms should only be presented in spiritual realms of dedication to the Lord. Achieving the gifts of spirit is in levels of commitment and vows. To achieve this one must be willing to grow spiritually.
“But God hath revealed them unto us by this Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” [1 Corinthians 2:10]
“Which things we speak, not in sin but which the Holy Ghost teacheth comparing spiritual things with spiritual”
“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
“For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.’ [1 Corinthians 2: 13-14 and verse 10]
Therefore, continued love and thoughts of meditation to purely love the Great Creator will heighten your spiritual realm. Without the thoughts of the Holy Spirit you can remain in little spiritual growth and become complacent with much little revelation of God’s presence. Spiritual realms are real and achievable by devotion to meditation upon God’s Word.
Let the words of my mouth, the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy site O’ Lord my strength and my redeemer. [Psalm: 19:14]
Have a pleasant Earth’s Day This is Meditate Sunday, April 22, 2012 Blessings to you with Spiritual Love, MIISRAEL
You have such a beautiful way with words. I enjoy reading your summaries. According to Acts Chapter 5, do you think that Peter and John took the faith in a new direction after the death of Christ? It says that after seeing these things the people were terrified.

Helen, after reading the chapter for a fresh analysis I don't think it was a new direction at all, but I would say it was a full elevatation of the power of the Holy Spirit upon them. Looking and examining how they promoted the power of the Spirit in healing that many who were healed by only catching a shadow of them, and of course; those like Annais and his wife who were direct liers to the Holy Spirit fell to their death. These things frightened people because they were afraid of trusting in the Holy Spirit, and because of their unreasoning to know; or having recieved the gift of the Holy Spirit I believe this is what caused their terror. Often, even today, when unusual effects of the Holy Spirit occur you'll find that many not in the Spirit will be frightened; or they will look for execuses, explanations in order to cover up the fear. They have I would say "not the reception of the Spirit" and have not grown in the operations of spiritual things. When one matures in the Spirit of God there is no fear of its works, but in reverence the only fear of God. Even too, we read where God and Jesus tell those who know him..."Do not be afraid...or Fear not." The terror they had was among them due to lacking in belief and little growth in things that are of the Holy Spirit. It is important to understand the Spirit has great power when applied correctly and consequences when misused. Thanks for a great question, and I hope I can continue to show beautiful words of which do come from the Spirit.
I'm still confused, because Jesus told the rich man to go and sell all that he owned. It doesn't mention anyone's death because they didn't obey.

I'll do my best to clarify:
Although you perhaps may see these situations similar there are differences in my understanding..No, it doesn't mention immediate death to the rich man I believe you are referring to; because the rich man was offered what could he do in order to become a disciple and follower of Jesus. In a sacrifice for him to become follower Jesus knew he being wealthy, said that he should sell everything and give it to the poor. However, the rich man went away sad because he did not want to depart from his wealth...Yet, in the case of the other rich man, who didn't give of wealth while alive, to the leper Lazarus; after his death yearned in torment that if he'd only gave the Lazarus the begger. His death came to him in everlasting grief as a tormented soul. Christ giving this demonstration that when one disobeys they have opportunities to change from disobeidence and be forgiven-- if they come with a contrite heart to repent.
However, with Ananias and his wife, they made a promise to give a certain amount after they sold of the portion and kept part of it for personal gain...Their death came with a betrayal to the Spirit and God knew their hearts were not contrite, nor having any sorrow for repenting. Their death immediately came upon them.
Read: Acts: 1-5 "But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife sold a posssesion, and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles's feet.
[Then ..Peter questioned him]
"But Peter said Ananias , why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and keep back part of the price of the land? While it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why hast thou concieved this thing in thine heart? Thou has not lied unto men, but unto God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost; And great fear came on all them that heard these things.
[Another opportunity for truth came again..was followed in lies to the Spirit. Peter questioned Sapphira]
Read: Acts 5:7-9 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done came in. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. Then Peter said unto her , How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord?
These events caused a greater fear upon the church, because it was a message of God's powerful Spirit and his diligence for the church to be clean and obedient with pure hearts of truth.
If Ananias and his wife had been honest with keeping all the profits; or even stating the amount they wanted to give and or keep --this immediate death may have spared him and his wife, but in their hearts they allowed a great spirit of greed followed the temptation in the heart which was filled with lies that they thought no one knew of their plans to keep back a portion of the sell. But they were also along with others giving promises to give all they profited from sales. His and his wife resulted in their death because they lied and were deceitful. This is also a commandment of God..."Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God."
I'm not sure if this will aid you in understanding, but basically it is a lesson that God despises a liar and a lying tongue. Even in the heart when the spirit of yourself lies, it is not unknown to God. The Spirit of God shall not be tempted.
If this doesn't help clarify your confusion. I have given a try. I suggest you continue your reading, and studying with prayers so that God will give you the answer spiritually. God is Spirit and will work with you spiritually to allow clarity of His Word. He is better at revealing the understanding of the Word than anyone else. The Holy Spirit knows all; and if we allow the Spirit to open up to us God's knowledge, his wisdom and his understanding shall reveal us the answers we seek. Bless you.
