DIMENSION OF LIGHT (PHOTIZO) There is a natural light and there is a spiritual light. Let’s compare spiritual sight to the sense of sight in the natural realm. In order for us to see in the natural we need light. If suddenly light is removed and we are enclosed in a place where no light comes in it would not be possible for us to see. The sense of natural sight depends on light falling on object, bouncing off an object, It depends on the perception of light. In the same way, spiritual sight depends on spiritual light. According to the degree of spiritual light that is allowed to enter into our spiritual eyes, we would be able to see visions. It’s proportional. Ephesians 4:18 that the understanding of man has been darkened. There is a shadow that has been cast over the understanding of man. As a result of that, man cannot see into the spirit realm. Let me qualify that. Generally, man cannot see into the spirit realm but we realize that some people are opened to the evil spiritual realm. That is because the demonic powers are at work in their type of imitation light. These demonic powers open such persons to the demonic realm and relate to them. But there is a positive and a good realm of God where God’s Spirit works and opens and enlightens the understanding. Eph. 4:18 They are darkened in their understanding (dianoia) alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. See the dianoia was darkened. Therefore, they cannot see into that spirit realm. Now the opposite statement where the dianoia is flooded with light is over here in Ephesians 1:18. The eyes of your understanding (dianoia) being enlightened (the Greek actually says flooded with light); that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His mighty power toward us who believe, according of His mighty power. I say that here the believers were having their understanding or their dianoia enlightened. Of course , the word dianoia has been translated as imagination in Luke 1:51 as imagination of their hearts. The dianoia is a part of our soul that is able to see into that realm of the spirit. It’s a part of us that see pictures. There are two parts to our mind that operates. One part of our mind is a part that reasons and that is the word dialogismos. And the word logis is where we get the word logic. The other part of our mind is a part that sees pictures. So when spiritual light shines on our heart we see into the spiritual word clearly THIS IS YOUR PORTION IN JESUS NAME SHALOM
