School of the Seers This is a great example of the difference between physical Touch and spiritual touch according to this story Jesus was almost physically crushed but when someone reached out drew healing power out from his spirit he declared that someone had touched Him, speaking spiritually ,of course.(Luke 8:43-46) My friend Benjamin and I had a spiritual experience together a few years ago .Ben wrote out the experience in his own words as he remembers it (notice how the senses of touch and smell were both operating )I remember it like it was yesterday Jonathan and I were sitting in the kitchen talking about things of the spirit when we stepped into some activation as we were talking about angels and things of the unseen realm Jonathan suddenly told me there was something in front of me in the spirit on the table and that I should reach out my hands to feel what it was .To most this might seem a little weird but he and I had been operating in discerning of spirits for quite a while so I didnt hesitate .I reached out my hand and begin to feel what was there I could make out something that felt like a large bowl It felt as it as real as if I was feeling a bowl in the natural realm .As i was telling Jonathan what I felt he would confirm it by seeing in the spirit what I was touching he would then ask me what else .I felt always trying to get me to reach a little deeper as I filled out the bowl Joan asked me to feel inside of it and as I reach into the bow I could literally feel a hot liquid in my hand after realizing I could feel heat coming from the bowl. when I place my hands inside it I tried putting my face over it as soon as I did my Face became hot and I began to sweat it was incredible after while playing with the bowl .Jon told me that it was oil and a asked me to pick it up and pour it over his head as soon as I reached for the bowl it began to tilt over my head .Jon and I looked at each other and is it a repeating each others word said did you smell that at the same moment we both smell the scent of oil filled the room ,excitement boiled inside of me as i raised the bowl over my head and began to pour it out .I could actually feel the oil running down over my head and heat coming from the substance .I will never forget the feeling of the oil running over me as if consuming my senses .I felt peace joy and love of the father washing over me I will never forget that day.once I started to share what I was able to see people are hungry to have similar experiences and would asked me how they could begin to see .since God had sovereignly giving me the gift that I had not sought out for I didnt know what to tell them until I found the key in Matthew 5:8 I understood impartation through the laying on of hands therefore I would pray for importation to anyone interested but I was only seeing a fraction of the people receiving the giftings I will address importation into greater detail in a later chapter over the last several years the Lord had taught me some principles that have open the door for more people to be able to activate the faith for the gift of discerning of spirits the first one that I want to share is the principle of (Matthew 5:8 )which was the first insight the Lord gave me it says :blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.How pure does a person have to be to see God I believe that the answer is in asking the right question .What is meant by purity ?The vast majority of believers hold the word pure as a memorial standard that is on UNATTAINABLE Jesus was speaking of purity as a key to seeing God and I believe he told us this because it is ATTAINABLE.to illustrate the meaning of pure take gold as an example when gold has been truly purified,it has had all the other elements removed from it this process causes all the dross and impurities to come to the surface so it can be skimmed away.In the and it produces gold that is one single element our hearts are sometimes cluttered with the dross of life and we must remove all the distractions so we can focus whole heart on God for us to have a pure heart or heart must be focused if we are to see God then the one element our heart contains must be a focus on the Lord when we focus our hearts on the Lord we are aimed to come into theexperience of seeing God.The verse is clear if we read it this way happy are those who focus their heart on God for they will actually see God.
