Scriptural Dimensions: An Apostolic Revelation for Releasing Lawful and Restricting Unlawful Doors & Rooms within the Spiritual Realms

By Sherman D. Farmer

Although we all have access to spiritual keys, we do not always know how to use them. We often grapple to discern which key unlocks the door to receive God’s promises and which key locks the door to bind the schemes of the enemy. That uncertainty has led many to misuse Scripture, journey into demonic realms, and sojourn in dimensions we we

About the Author

Introduction

There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?—John 14:2 (NLT)

The subject matter for this book originated one night during an online Bible study. I was asked to come online by a ministerial comrade because he wanted to have another apostolic voice reinforce a series of teachings about rankings and protocols within the church and spiritual realms. As I consented to the task at hand, my mind began to reminisce on the things I have seen in the Word of God concerning true spirituality, ecclesiology, and biblical divinity. I also pondered some indiscretions I had witnessed among certain expressions we call trends of Christian faith. Those collective thoughts became the subject matter on which I based that night’s Bible study. Along with a topical study that I had done before, I was ready to impart those truths and share my findings with the apostle and his ministry. From there, the Lord catapulted my spirit into a greater understanding and I too had to be honest and admit that there are some things that have been neglected. This neglect centers around the reality that I too needed a reminder of how to properly engage the spiritual realm. For throughout my many years of ministry, I was going with the flow instead of what I had read in the Word of God.

There are specific choices being made like what I just mentioned even in the Pentecostal, Charismatic, Non-Denominational, and Holiness expressions. What I mean in particular is this: oftentimes, we have become too deep and spooky when it comes to dimensions and protocols of the spiritual realm. The life of practicality found in the Scriptures becomes overshadowed by the practice of exegetical overkill, legalism, and mysticism. We have all been guilty, from time to time, of misappropriating some of the context written in Scripture when it comes to spiritual travel and experiencing spiritual dimensions. Especially when it comes to the purpose of spiritual realms and even how to properly authorize the things from the Spirit, by the Spirit, and in the Spirit. Let me explain further. What I have witnessed in the body of Christ is certain phrases being arbitrarily used as if a certain group of people possess an exclusivity of spiritual power. When the truth of the matter is no one has a right to think in this manner. Often, we hear them use general statements such as: You are under an open Heaven, You are going to a new dimension (or next level), and The portals are open! In my strong apostolic opinion, these are not bad statements at all. Sometimes they can be used in a very healthy fashion, if you will. But to add to the point about this controversy, I have seen the overuse of these harmless phrases, as people proclaim how they are mightily traveling into another strange and unheard of spiritual realm connective to these phrases. When in all actuality, they are merely alleging that they have been in realms that even they themselves have not even heard of before. If only they would just be truthful; the fake it till you make it scenario is a dangerous place to be.

I see it all too often, especially when people are being apostolic and prophesying the graduation of a person who they are saying God is advancing now into a greater realm. Statements like these are also made: You are going to your next level, You are going to a new dimension, and I sense that you are about to go deeper into the depths of God. Now, these phrases are all well and good; however, there is danger when such generalized statements are being uttered over a person’s life without permission, clarity, and scriptural specificity. We need specifics when talking this spiritually! What dimension? What is the name of the next level? Where does the depth of this new level and dimension begin? How do I come out of it when it is time for me to take a break? And how will I find it again when I am ready to reconvene? For the Bible is very clear that Death and life are in the power of the tongue: (Proverbs 18:21). And the Bible also says, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7a).

This simply means that what you are speaking and thinking has much currency in both your present and your future. Your words and thoughts have great spiritual economics for your current level of spiritual experience and your pending levels of spiritual experiences. Therefore, we must be very careful what we say to people and what we plant in their minds. And the same for ourselves. We must be even more careful how we teach people, for their tongues will give them power to progress or regress, spiritually speaking. And we don’t want their blood on our hands. This is why we need more spiritual specifics when referring to this very objective subject matter called spiritual dimensions. Jesus even says that His "words are spirit and they are life." (John 6:63). Thus, we must be careful what we give life to, especially what we say is of the spirit realm.

With all of this in mind, it is very dangerous to play haphazardly in the areas of decreeing and declaring spiritual and potent words, especially like the statements I mentioned earlier. These generalizations are often spoken with vagueness and carelessness as we witness people saying them for mere applause or sensationalism. While we spectate, we hear them speaking these dramatic statements without substantiality. And it is even more dangerous to pray or pronounce yourself into an unspecified realm or dimension when you do not even have the wherewithal to understand that dimension.

The apostle Paul exhorts us to pray with the spirit and also with understanding (1 Corinthians 14:15). I will make an apostolic addendum to this statement. I assert to you that we need to speak more specifically by the Spirit and with an even greater understanding about the Spirit! For the words of the Spirit can either imprison or exonerate you if you are not careful. And it is a terrible thing to think you are growing and gaining more freedom while you are perishing due to spiritual ignorance. We must count up the cost and see if we can finish what we are building (Luke 14:28), for unto whom much is given certainly there is still much required (Luke 12:48).

The Time is Now! Put a Demand on the Specificity of Each Spiritual Door and Dimension

The call for this very hour is the return unto simplicity with specificity. Even the apostle Paul speaks about a specified door that the Lord opens for him and his ministry while they are traveling on a missionary journey. Paul reveals to us the condition of the door and the purpose behind the door. This teaches us a simple yet profound truth. And that truth is this: just as you logically go into a room based upon the name of the room, so do you go through certain spiritual rooms based on the name of that given room. Now I am one for apostolic adventures within the spiritual realm. But, a spiritual trip without a plan or a GPS is a dangerous trip, especially if you have not been there before. Here is my point! We need to know the distinct scriptural name of each spiritual door. We also need clarification about the specific benefits and purposes behind such doors. The spirit realm was never designed to be an Alice in Wonderland experience:

For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.—1 Corinthians 16:9 (KJV)

There is a wide-open door for a great work here, although many oppose me.—1 Corinthians 16:9 (NLT)

Paul goes through a wide-open door filled with a great work concerning the gospel. This Scripture reveals how doors and dimensions come with responsibilities. Doors and dimensions come with challenges and critics. Doors and dimensions have great opponents residing around them that are either counter-active agents or masterful monsters that can cause great harm.

We used to say it like this: New levels, new devils. And as it is in the natural so it is in the supernatural. Paul was going through an allegorical door in 1 Corinthians 16:9, but this figurative door paralleled a literal door in the supernatural. Just as he was empowered to travel and preach the gospel, the devil was empowering people in those regions to counterattack his efforts. In a similar context, Jesus proclaims to us through a parable that He is the primary and ultimate door. This is not just into a metaphorical sheepfold as suggested in John’s Gospel (John 10); but this is, by implication, revealing that Jesus is the conduit that provides the necessary method of spiritual transportation. It is Jesus who gives us the legal authorization to experience certain sections within the spiritual realms (John 10:7). And anyone who decides, by freewill, that they want to experience such doors of the spirit must enter the ultimate door, which is Jesus, and they must properly matriculate from His door to the other doors (John 10:9). This is a very logical pattern, just as much as it is a very simple spiritual GPS system. When we find the proper doors, we will find the proper dimensions; but, only if we first find Jesus. And when we are in the right dimensions, we will gain the proper results that each dimension provides. This plan starts and finishes with Jesus.

Therefore, we must become more scripturally and spiritually sound about such doors and each dimension. And we must also discern the clear pathways to these doors so that we are not walking around in the spiritual realm, practicing with an unconscious mindset and spirit. An unconscious mindset and spirit is when ignorance about a spiritual dimension is more prevalent than spiritual intelligence. For there are such things as lawful and unlawful behaviors within the spiritual realms. One great rule of thumb is that of going through the right door for the right reason. Take for example Paul’s teaching about the door of faith:

And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.—Acts 14:27 (KJV)

Upon arriving in Antioch, they called the church together and reported everything God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles, too.—Acts 14:27 (NLT)

If there is such a thing as the door of faith, then there must be a room of faith corresponding to the dimension called faith (2 Corinthians 4:13). But it is only God who has all the keys to every spiritual door. And it will also be God who will determine whether these doors should be open or closed and who gets to go through them. For it was God who gave mankind the word of knowledge to write in the Scriptures that there are doors and dimensions. God also gave mankind scriptural license for certain dimensions and its experiences. Therefore, it is the sole responsibility of God to release such doors unto us based upon His plans for us. Again, this plan is not in a random conjecture. No. This plan is in the scriptural boundaries of God’s written Word! And the extract of this is done by a strategic holy sanctioning. And this holy sanctioning is only authorized to exist because of the will of God alone (2 Corinthians 2:12).

Paul is a primary example of one who has been gifted to reveal such truths unto us. And he is not the only one. Other apostolic voices of yesterday, today, and tomorrow will do the same thing too. But it is the apostle Paul who creates the primary correlation about natural doors, while in actuality, he is speaking about parallel spiritual doors that match certain domains in Heaven. This means that we are simultaneously walking in earthly places while we are speaking about walking around in Heaven. This can only be accomplished if we are seated with Jesus in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), for then and only then can we walk through certain spiritual rooms with Him.

Here is the true definition of walking in the Spirit. It is not an aimless journey. It is a satellite experience program that we are in, on Earth, while Jesus is leading us from Heaven. And the apostle shares his testimonies of certain doors that God graces him to walk through. Another example of the apostle Paul’s spiritual travels is seen when he says that he walks into a door of utterance which tells of him being anointed to speak the gospel within certain natural realms (Colossians 4:3). But this also means that he is given access into the spirit realm to speak from this very room. So, even though he is speaking from the earth, his life is simultaneously linked to this specific room in Heaven. Simply put: if there is a door of utterance, there must be a room or dimension where utterances are stored and collected in Heaven. And it is from that room that God allows Paul to speak. Which also means He will allow us to speak from this very room too.

For Jesus told His disciples, Do not worry about what you will say when the hour to speak comes before you. He told them that the Holy Spirit would speak through them and in them. We must see this door of utterance as a spiritual satellite experience. Our spirit is linked to the Holy Spirit which is linked to Jesus who is seated in heavenly places. When we walk through certain doors, we must experience them by a proper name. And those names are initially from Heaven because it is Heaven that downloads this understanding to the earth. And this is how we know what to call them in the first place! Therefore, God’s naming of these rooms is what we should call them!

Even when we become overly creative and call them something else, we must make sure the foundational perspective, based upon the Scriptures, is well intact. For the definition of a calling is: the formal invitation into a realm by a direct summons of the Lord. So, as it is with callings, it logically is with spiritual doors and the corresponding dimension associated with each door. We can’t just go into a place and start renovating it. In the same manner, we cannot just go into God’s house and start changing around the spaces that He has formally invited us into! Everything about this process must remain sacred. It must also remain in the order of God’s Word and will.

And now that we have properly explained this truth, it behooves us to recalibrate our thinking and to start looking for the right doors. And we must also start looking for the right dimensions while remaining aware of the wrong ones too. For every door is opened by permissible access from Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1-2). If we do not come through the ultimate door, which is the Lord, our access will become illegal. For there are some doors we can walk through with ignorance and unawareness. Remember as stated earlier, we can experience them in an unconscious mindset and uneducated spiritual state!

If we are not admonished to learn how to walk through these doors consciously and properly, such illegal operation can become a serious downfall. This is why we need Jesus to be our door guide within the spiritual realm. And just as John’s Gospel reveals to us that Jesus is the ultimate door, we must see that Jesus keeps the main door (which is Himself) open for anyone who desires to use their freewill to enter at any time:

… I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:—Revelation 3:8b (KJV)

 … and I have opened a door for you that no one can close.— Revelation 3:8b (NLT)

The main door of the spirit realm, which is called an open door, is also the same door which Jesus calls Himself (according to John 10:9). And it takes freewill and faith to enter. The Word of God declares that this door is not that far from any of us. It is very achievable. The Scripture used in Revelation 3:8 lets us know that Jesus does not allow anyone to block us from entering. And what you will come to discover as you go deeper into the door leading to other doors of the spirit is how Jesus is the master key which unlocks every spiritual door. For God is an intelligent and amazingly specific Spirit. And He has created specific dimensions so that we can legally travel from realm to realm with various measures of faith (2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 1:17). And if this is true, it is imperative that we access and travel to these known dimensions that we have been legally given license to experience. It is very important that we do not follow current and disturbing trends of aimless pursuits and agendas, which are laden with hazardous experiences. Dimensional traveling must become more intentional and more consciously practiced. You don’t want to send someone to a place they don’t deserve to go nor do you want to experience a place that has no point of return.

There may have been times in the past that because we followed the trends and spoke what we heard others speak, we could have sent ourselves and individuals to a deep abyss or a black-hole within the spiritual realms. What is even worse is that some people think they are in a spiritual realm when they are in a state of spiritual limbo. Metaphorically speaking, they are possibly in the hallway instead of a specific room that is located within the heavenly hemispheres of God. Herein is the main reason this information has come to light. This book was birthed and created to cleans us from the compromise of aimless spiritual journeying, and the unlawful pursuits and dangers they hold!

The Birthing of this Revelation Comes from Surveying the Whole Counsel of God (Scripture)

I want to share a moment of transparency with you regarding how this apostolic legislation came to light. It is based upon a principle found within the Word of God. For as the apostle Paul declares in the book of Acts, there is something called the whole counsel of Scripture (Acts 20:27). When referring to this methodology, it is the safest way to communicate any subject matter unto the body of Christ and the kingdom of God. The whole counsel of God (or Scripture) is an entire disclosure of understanding concerning any subject matter. It is an exhaustive topical search through the Scriptures, from cover to cover (Genesis to Revelation), in order that we might get the blueprints and instructions about a given matter.

This is the method used for the creation of this very book. And based upon the King James Version, these doors and keys are hidden behind the phrase: … the Spirit of… It is through this phrase that the Lord releases a specific Rhema word about the dimensions of the spiritual realm. The Rhema word that God released unto me reveals that we are no longer limited to experiencing just the manifested presence of the Holy Spirit. But we are now charged to seek the Lord as to how to enter the specified rooms associated with this phraseology known as … the Spirit of… For in each of the places found in the Bible releasing this specific formula, they also release a specified door for us not to enter or to enter.

So considering the whole counsel of Scripture methodology, what does the Bible totally say about … the Spirit of… phrases and matters? When you ask this logical question, you embark on the scriptural roadway to such answers. I asked myself, What are the true spiritual doors and dimensions? I also asked myself another very important question, What are the false doors and dimensions? And after much prayer, studying, and seeking the Lord for the answers, I have comprised those answers for you right here in this book! But before I share them, let me thank the man of God and his ministry who inspired me to share my initial findings during his Bible study.

This is where I must thank you, Apostle Corey Neal Rogers and the Believers Covenant Fellowship International Church Family, of Atlanta, Georgia. The meeting that took place during the online Bible study changed your lives, but I must testify that it also changed mine! For now, I am so thankful unto God for igniting my journey toward this very important subject matter. Not just for myself, or for them alone, but now also for you! It is true that the Lord has opened an advantageous moment for gaining this understanding. And on that night, we tapped into something mega. Now, I am going to unpack its mega-ministry with the world. So again, I thank you Apostle Neal and the BCFI family for instigating this truth out of me. And I thank the Lord for giving me the greater purpose of imparting this truth within the church and the kingdom!

Now I pray that you will enjoy reading this book. My heart’s intention is that you will come out a true and more spiritual traveler who is sojourning within the lawful spiritual realms of God while avoiding the unlawful spiritual realms not advisable by God. So, let’s begin…

The Spiritual Orientation of the Spirit of Man

The Spiritual Orientation of the Spirit of Man Begins in the Mansions and Spiritual Rooms of Our Heavenly Father

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.—John 14:2 (KJV)

There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?—John 14:2 (NLT)

I want you to picture a very nice house. Visualize a very nice walkway attached to this house. Next, I want you to see a very large door that leads you into the house. But, before you begin your walk toward the house, please look down. I want you to notice that something is in your right hand. Inside your hand are multiple keys on a very colorful and manageable, but large key ring. You have divided these keys with your hand into four sections (based upon four different colors). You are holding, with a few fingers, a master key which fits into the first door leading into this beautiful house that is right in front of you. Now I would ask that you walk up to the door. Picture yourself placing this master key inside of the first lock on the door. Notice that there are other locks on this door, but go ahead and turn the lock and unlock it so that you can open the door and proceed to walk into this great big house.

As you enter the house, you will notice a series of hallways and doors. Each door has a different name on it. I want you to realize that these doors, hallways, and rooms that can be opened with the keys in your hand are the first level. Next, you will see a set of stairs. Go ahead up the stairs. I want you to look around and notice that there is another set of hallways and doors within this area. This is the second level. Straight ahead you will find another set of stairs. It’s ok, proceed up those stairs as well. You will notice that there is another set of doors and hallways. This is the third level. As you begin to explore the third level like you did the second and first, please be patient as there is one more set of stairs straight ahead. I would ask you kindly to go up those stairs, there you will see more rooms and doors than ever before. This is the top and final level. It is called the fourth level.

Do you realize what I just had you visualize? You have visualized the four levels of scriptural dimensions within the spiritual realm. And now that you have had your first mental review, I ask that you join me back downstairs on the first level as we begin to take our time and go through each hallway, doorway, and room that corresponds with each level. In my mind’s eye, I believe that this experience that I had you to create within the subjectivity of your own mind will be similar to what God will have you finally experience when it is your time to enter Paradise. The Word of God says that there are many mansions in God’s big house.

This is what Jesus was telling His disciples during His last moments with them, shortly before He was to be arrested and subsequently crucified. He said to them: In my Father’s house are many mansions… (John 14:2a, KJV). Though we know this to be a mighty metaphor, it takes on a stronger spiritual meaning than we sometimes realize. The exegesis of these words leads us to the revelation that there is more than one room in Heaven; therefore, there is more than one room in the spiritual realm. Even Paul talks about a Third Heaven, which has a room inside of it called Paradise (2 Corinthians 12:4).

I know this Scripture is more well-received at home-going services, but it is not limited to that instance alone. The word used here to convey what Jesus means when He says house is the Greek word oikia (pronounced oy-kee-ah). It means various compartments, apartments, residences, or dwellings within a given space of a massive property. It can be viewed as what we would call in our modern understanding an apartment community or complex. Even more descriptively, it could mean a cul-de-sac or even a community of homes. But whatever visualization and interpretation you may decide to choose, the main point to this is that the house of our heavenly Father has within it spiritual realms flowing in the format of a circumference-like reality. For spiritual realms are eternal and never ending, just as these doors and dimensions are endless. Thus, each realm is like a circle which has no beginning or ending.

And because we are referring to eternity, we must understand that there are privileges with certain limitations. For there are some realms we are permitted to experience now, while there are others Jesus has prepared for us to experience in the Hereafter. And whether we are to experience them here and now or in the Hereafter, it is very important that we know the difference between the name of the door versus the name of the room. For the Greek word for mansions here in John 14:2 is mone (pronounced moh-nay). This word means various rooms which are allocated within such compartments, spaces, or residences. These are the rooms within the overall place called Heaven. And these rooms reside together, forever, if you will. These rooms are where you can abide as you move around inside of this house eternally. It seems like God has made one very large compound, and the property is so massive that everyone can build a home within His home, while at the same time never having to worry about spacing issues or clashing.

Thus, our Father’s house, filled with many mansions, is best described to us as spiritual realms that are filled with various dimensions. And the Lord has shown me that each spiritual door and its dimensions are clearly likened unto the same visualization of a natural house. This is why we began with that particular visualization. I wanted you to get the sense of how intricate this plan is because one’s spiritual journey is very similar to the entrance into a house. And as we know, there can be many levels to one house and one can feel as if they are in a house within a house (depending on the vastness of that house). And so it is within the spiritual realm. God’s square footage is so vast that we cannot even measure how many square feet we are going to experience now and how many we will experience later. I believe it will take all of eternity to walk around and experience the spiritual realm.

We have clearly established how God created a vast property in which His domains also exist. And because of this apostolic architecture, we will experience it here and now. But we are also called to experience each of its luxuries during eternity. I believe that there are at least four floors to experience for now. But I would not dare to assert that I have discovered every dimension possible (especially when it comes to those we can experience later in the Hereafter). However, the sources within this book will begin our contextual and selective process of the initial journey into spiritual dimensions. For in this book, I will reveal each floor on the four levels within the property and estate of God’s glory. Additionally, I will instruct you as to how one must also walk upon and within God’s property based upon a scriptural soundness and with a spiritual sobriety!

These dimensions, which are prescribed exclusively by the Word of God, will protect us from unlawfully and illegally going into certain entryways and wrongful experiences. For herein resides the safety of one’s spiritual journey altogether. The scriptural dimensions of the Holy Ghost that are found within our Father’s house (which is the same as God’s heavenly realm), are all leading us into a plain path (Psalm 27:11) where each room is safe to experience and reside in because Jesus will be there with us. All you need is a legend to follow the flow of the structure of God’s spiritual houses and the patience to go through each of these ordained rooms. These features with the master key, which is Jesus, will cause your journey to be unforgettable.

The Introduction of the Keys for the Spiritual Realm

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.—Matthew 16:19 (KJV)

And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.— Matthew 16:19 (NLT)

Just as you place your keys to your house inside your front door and turn them to the right or the left to unlock the door, it is the same protocol in the spiritual realm. Your key must match the right door. And your key must then be turned to unlock or lock the door. We will discuss the locking and unlocking methods a little later. But for now, let’s visit the metaphorical context of the keys. A lock upon a door can only be opened by the device known to us as a key. The Greek word for keys here is kleis (pronounced klice).

In Scripture, this Greek word is used only six times within the New Testament. The King James Version poetically uses it to convey that the religious leaders of Jesus’ day would not enter Heaven because they did not have the right keys for the right doors. In fact, these keys were pseudo keys. And these false keys were not cut to access the portals of Heaven or the domains within the kingdom of Heaven. It is the same as getting a bootleg video or DVD instead of getting the actual video mastered and formatted to fit your TV. You may be fortunate sometimes to get a great copy of the movie, but oftentimes it is a secondary recording that is filled with audio, visual, and high-definition challenges. In the same manner, some of us have received bootleg copies of the true keys that open the portals of Heaven.

Naturally speaking, you might manipulate a fake key to open the door here and there, but the danger of putting a fake key in the door and leaving it to chance that it will continually open is dangerous. And in the same context, spiritual things must be accessed properly just like natural things because when things are done inappropriately they yield consequences. Jesus tells His 12 apostles that He has made
