All of creation declares the glory of God. There is a spiritual battle being waged, and as the restraining hand of God comes off more and more, due to our rebellion and lack of faith, we see and ‘sense’ this realm more and more. Be VERY careful, the enemy of our souls disguises himself as an 'angel of light'. ‘Spiritualism' is very popular, but it is not the key. The ‘key’ is FAITH and TRUST in the finished work of the Messiah (Yeshua/Jesus), in OUR place. If Yeshua/Jesus is our Lord and Savior, then the Holy Spirit resides in us. The enemy will do everything he can to trick/deceive us. He is the 'great imitator', but it is always inferior to the Glory of God. Look to Messiah, He is the ONLY name by which man will be saved.

To quote Roald Dahl, “Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”

Thank you for this piece- I too remember the wonders of childhood and finding magical places and dark people, feeling energies constantly. We put our heads in the sand and pretend as adults that these feelings/energies don’t exist but they do! I saved a man’s life once because I FELT an overwhelming and incomprehensible compulsion to go and check on him - I was practically pushed from my car to go to him (he was working on a tractor around the corner from the farmhouse, out of sight), only to find him caught in his equipment and choking to death. I will never forget that feeling, and after all of the drama and ambulances, it was so clear to me that we are “not alone” and that the magic that is God is all around us, all the time. I don’t speak often of my experience though, maybe because a part of me feels that each of us needs to come to this realization on our own? Not sure. I do know that I am drawn to people who have a similar appreciation for the mystical, who have religious beliefs, and who know that what we see every day is just one layer of many that we inhabit. It’s truly incredible!
