What is your Spiritual Range - Spirit Life part 11

Build with Hari Rao

This week, Prophet Hari continues in the Spirit Life series. In this teaching, he shares how to increase your spiritual range.

In 2 Corinthians 10, Apostle Paul speaks about God-given spheres of influence. This is important because we serve a God of perfect design and order. He has a way of organising power, authority and spiritual rank. If we have all been assigned a sphere of influence, then we must know the boundary of grace upon our lives.

Paul describes the geographical boundary of his grace when he says that Corinth exists within that boundary. He had jurisdictional and territorial authority over them. From this we learn that we cannot rule beyond the measure of the grace that is given to us. Your grace has a boundary according to your assignment and nearness to God. When God calls you, He calls you with true grace, power and authority (rank). Our boundaries can be pushed and expanded. God places boundaries for our protection; they stop us from going into error. It’s a sin to leave your boundary. When you don’t honour boundaries, bondage is the future. We know this by the Scriptures that describe the angels that did not stay within the limits of authority that was given to them. We see time and time again in the Scriptures that jumping a boundary brought about judgement.

Studying from the life of Daniel, we learn that when he prayed for understanding he was hindered by a principality for 21 days. It gives us insight about how the realms of the spirit work. We see that there can be resistance over a territory. A spiritual conflict brought about a delay in natural time. There is a measure of strength given to spiritual beings. The principality had enough power to resist the angel Gabriel. When the same angel came to Mary there was no hindrance in his passageway because she was located in Israel. That means there are also points of entry in the realms of the spirit. Gabriel was sent to Daniel like a spy to deliver information, but because of the resistance, the angel Michael had to come down to assist him. There are angelic beings that watch over nations. Everything that happens in the world is a result of what’s first happening in the spiritual world.

The reason why Gabriel was resisted was because he was carrying information that would expose the plans of the enemy. It was given to Daniel what the kingdom of darkness was planning. What does the enemy know about your future that you don’t know that he’s fighting you for? The enemy always fights future glory and who you will become.

The intelligent in the bride of Christ study their life, have an understanding of boundaries and rules their sphere of influence well! The range that you cover in life is determined by your proximity to God. The closer and higher you walk with God the more time shrinks for you. When that happens, you are able to see more than most people.
