THE FOURTH DIMENSION
What is the fourth dimension? There are basically three dimensions—length, height, and depth in the world we live in. The fourth dimension is time. As it pertains to our spiritual walk, Pastor Tony Scott describes the third dimension as our five senses and the fourth dimension as walking in the Holy Spirit.
When we are living in the fourth dimension, we are living in the Kingdom of God where our spirit is the driving force and not our physical body. We are, essentially, spirits living in a human body. Before Adam and Eve sinned and disobeyed God, they were living in the spirit. They were living in glorified bodies. Adam and Eve were only aware of God’s presence. When they sinned, they became aware of their presence and their own flesh. They only became self-aware of themselves after their disobedience. They no longer were in total union with God. Their flesh then became their primary identity in contrast to total communion with God because their spirits no longer dominated them. Living in the fourth dimension we are living as spirits in a physical body. In so doing, we are returning, in part, to the Garden of Eden so to speak or the Kingdom of God as we were created to be.
Living in the fourth dimension we are living from heaven to earth. “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10 We are supposed to be living as citizens of heaven. In this dimension or realm, our minds are renewed. Our spirits are joined with Christ. We become Christ minded. We become the salt of the earth.
We must live out of our spirit. Man is a spirit being having a human experience. Adam and Eve, after the fall, started living out of their senses. God operates in the fourth dimension. We are Kingdom subjects. (Pastor Tony Scott, Manna-fest Program)
Colossians 1:3-6 NIV
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people— the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.
The Coming of the Kingdom of God
Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” Luke 17:20-21 NIV
And he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Luke 9:2 NIV
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
“How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. John 3:3-5 NIV
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17 NIV
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
If we are walking in the Spirit, then Christ Himself is living in us. He is accomplishing His purpose in and through us. We are the containers, the vessels He dwells in.
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 NIV
