-Living In The Real World
-By: Henry Morris, Ph.D.

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind” (Isaiah 65:17). -

People often think they are being practical when they place material values ahead of spiritual, emphasizing that we have to “live in the real world.” The fact is, however, that we are not living in the real world at all, but in a world that is dying and will soon be gone. “The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” (I John 2:17).

This is not even the world that God created, for that world was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). Because “sin entered into the world, and death by sin” (Romans 5:12), therefore, “the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now” (Romans 8:22). In fact, this world is not even as it was soon after God’s curse, for “the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished” (II Peter 3:6).

The present, post-Flood world is now under the dominion of Satan, who is “the prince of this world” (John 12:31) and of “all the kingdoms of the world” (Matthew 4:8).

[ HOWEVER-We are told in scripture "Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."]

The Lord Jesus Christ came to “deliver us from this present evil world” (Galatians 1:4). As our text says, this world shall not even “be remembered, nor come into mind.” It “shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God” (Romans 8:21).
Therefore, we must “be not conformed to this world” (Romans 12:2).

In other words stop watching, listening, getting involved with the things of the demonic forces, that is the evil supernatural world. You are playing with fire!

We must “live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:12,13). In the meantime, our true citizenship, if we have been born again in Christ, is in the real world to come, and we are His ambassadors, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God."

"He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

Yes, this is a supernatural world. No one could doubt that. We are continually in a battle with the god of this world, Satan.
HOWEVER, we are admonished to live a life according to: -- ---Philippians 4:4-9 (Look it up, I've given it numerous times.)
I sincerely believe when someone enters the spiritual realm, (looking for things of Satan), they are dealing with the occult.
"Let God be true and every man a liar."

It is beyond me why anybody would want to study the occult and the demonic world, who is a Christian.
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

"For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Tim:1:7)
If you are in Christ, you have no need to be concerned with the demonic world.
"Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, (reverential fear), upon them that hope in his mercy;
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
"Our soul waits for the LORD; His is our help and our shield.
"For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his Holy Name.
"Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee." (Psalm 18-22)

"The angel of the Lord encamps around about those that fear HIM, and he will deliver them."

If you want the Words of LIFE, READ THE BIBLE!
This will be my last post on this topic. I was merely trying to clarify my previous post. I am an ambassador for Christ and if you want 'the Way, the Truth, and the Life, LOOK TO JESUS, He alone gives the Words of LIFE!
