Many say that “ignorance is bliss,” but God says, “My people perish for a lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). I am astonished by how many people (including Christians), are unaware that we don’t inhabit, but we cohabit, this planet. The Apostle Paul wrote to unveil this mystery to us when he said, “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware” (1 Corinthians 12:1). The word “gifts” is not in the original Greek text. It actually should read, “Now concerning the spiritual, brethren, I don’t want you to be unaware.” Paul is using the gifts of the Spirit as an example of how the spirit realm functions. I personally don’t think most Christians actually believe in a spirit realm. Although they will typically acknowledge the unseen realm on some intellectual level, they don’t really think that the spirit world is having an effect on their daily lives. Teaching some people about the spirit world feels very much like trying to convince someone in the 1800’s that there really are such things as germs, and that they can make them sick or even kill them. Of course, with the invention of the microscope and other medical and technological discoveries, understanding this previously unseen realm has saved millions of lives.
