Book Cover & Preview Text
There is an inexhaustible world of possibility awaiting every believer in Christ. This extraordinary world exists OUTSIDE the limited realm of human thought and perception. This world can be discovered just beyond the realm of religious thoughts that hold men in bondage to fear, guilt, and condemnation. This world of Spirit is one of peace, safety, health, prosperity, and divine intelligence.
Every believer in Christ Jesus has free access into this wonderful world of unlimited glory. As we take our rightful position in the heavenly places, we will begin to operate in a wisdom that flows outside the boundaries of the natural man. These heavenly places are located in Christ Jesus. The Lord spoke through the prophet Isaiah saying.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isa 55:8-9)
Notice, as the heavens are HIGHER than the earth, so are God’s ways higher than the ways of man. It’s important to understand that the “natural man” will never perceive the higher ways of God. Instead, he continues his pursuit in the limited material world below. However, the spiritual man has the inherent ability to perceive God on a much higher level of wisdom and intelligence. Thus, he is afforded the right to live, move, and exhibit these heavenly realities and attributes in the earth. In this elevated state, there is no sin, sickness, poverty, or death! As man takes his place in this exalted realm of Spirit, this will become his experience and reality. Isaiah proclaims, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Clearly, it’s impossible to measure how high the heavens are above the earth. But God says this is how much higher His thoughts are than the thoughts of man. If it were possible to measure the heights of the heavens and their exaltation above the earth, we would still only have a measure of understanding concerning God’s majestic ways and the heights to which every believer can ascend in Christ.
In order to gain some perspective concerning this truth, consider the natural heavens. The heavens, as we know them, are massive indeed. The closest star to the earth (apart from the sun) is TEN LIGHT YEARS AWAY! While pondering this reality, please consider that light travels at the speed of one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles PER SECOND!! Now think… if it were possible to get into a rocket and move through space at the rate of one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles PER SECDOND, it would take TEN YEARS to arrive at the nearest star! That’s right, Beloved, that little star you see in the sky on a clear summer night that seems to be so close, is actually ten light years away! The fact that we can even SEE the stars testify to the enormity of their size! When considering the vastness of the heavens, it’s important to understand that scientists have never located the extremities of space. It appears, say scientists, as if the worlds that exist in space are BOUNDLESS and UNLIMITED. Scientists now say that there are more worlds in outer space than there are grains of sand upon the seashore! These worlds seem to be WITHOUT END!! Albeit, as it is in the natural, so it is in the Spirit! God’s heavens, like the natural heavens, are BOUNDLESS and UNLIMITED! NO man has ever located the extremities of the heavens, nor shall he! The reality is; there is NO END to these spiritual heavens! This is because the “heavens declare the GLORY of God.” There is NO END to God’s glory!! The half of God’s glory has never been seen, perceived, heard or told by any man! According to the Bible, the heavens are continually reverberating with the reality of God’s glory! The Bible also teaches that the heavens are now the true home of every believer in Christ (Phil 3:21). As believers, it is our distinct privilege to “sit down” in this lofty realm and behold the GLORY of God which is now our own. Jesus prayed to the Father concerning this glory, saying, “And the glory which thou gavest Me I HAVE GIVEN THEM” Jesus goes on to explain why this glory was given us.
He says, “…that they may be one, even as We are one…” God’s glory makes man ONE, that is, it delivers man from DUALITY! As we behold the glory of God, we are CHANGED to become ONE WITH THAT GLORY, spirit, soul, and body!!

About the Book
In the beginning, when Adam disobeyed the mandate of God, he fell from the lofty heights of the heavens. He lost his keen awareness of God and ceased to operate in the higher realm of the kingdom. Adam then became prisoner to the limited realm of earth and its restrictions…but God had a plan for the redemption of man and the restoration of his dominion on the earth. God's plan for man was THE MAN, Christ Jesus. • Jesus came into the world to raise all men from the dust of circumstance into the glorious liberty of the Spirit of God. • Jesus came to open the eyes of man's understanding that all might know the hope of God's call and the riches of His inheritance in the saints. • Jesus came to free every man from the spiritual chains of fear, guilt, and condemnation. • Jesus came to free man from the demands of the law. • Jesus came to liberate man from the island of the five senses into the unbounded glory of the heavens. The revelation of Jesus and His finished work IS "The Great Escape" from every form of death and corruption.
About the Author
The truth contained in this treatise has revolutionized my life. I have personally authored several books that contain precious gems from the Holy Spirit. However, compared to the truths in this treatise, they all seem to be as a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. I have found the ONE PEARL of great price—Christ Jesus the Lord. I have discovered that HE ALONE is the Master Key, holding the power of life, peace, safety, and wellbeing. The Truth is… Christ IS life, peace, safety, and the wellbeing of the believer. Jesus Christ is the door to every blessing that heaven has to offer. In Him alone we find acceptance before God’s holy throne… In these pages, the reader will clearly see from the scripture that Christ Jesus is our peace with the Father. In Him, we are complete. He is our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (1 Cor 1:30). It will also be understood that Christ is our “Great Escape” from the bondage of corruption and decay. The Bible is clear that “In Him” was life…” As believers, the Life of the Son of God is now within us. This Life is eternal. Thus it is free from sin, sickness, and poverty. As we place unwavering confidence in Christ and His completed work of redemption, this life will rise within us until it is seen in physical manifestation. Ultimately, the world will come to this “Light of Life” which we have found in Christ Jesus. My prayer is that the “eyes of your understanding be enlightened” as you read and receive the truth here presented!
