Understanding Your Spirit World: The Science of a Complex Soul

By John Mumba

There are dominion forces in our atmosphere that people can be subjected to, and these forces can make them alien to natural and evil forces that dominate human life. This dynamic enablement comes about when a persons soul anchors itself to the real source of life. The soul is a spiritual embodiment of knowledge and emotion in man. A soul is a search engine in man; it seeks a resting place to which it can attach itself so it can draw out the virtues of knowledge and emotion. When a persons soul is changed, everything about that person takes a different route. Mans nature changes only when a complex soul is achieved. The soul draws from blood its ability to unite with another soul to form a complex soul. Without blood the soul cannot find its resting place and cannot be changed. This is why the first requirement in the salvation of man is blood. And the blood of salvation needed to have different contents from the usual human blood on earth. The contents of the blood of Jesus can make people live like Martians in this world. Common human blood is highly wicked and only leads man to unite himself with wicked spiritual forces to form a soul that is dominated by evil.

Introduction

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him and for him. (Col. 1:16)

T he spirit world is an invisible world made up of thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers. It is called invisible only because it is invisible to the world with which we are familiar; otherwise it is a real world and very visible in its own right. Our visible world is called the natural world whereas the invisible world is called the spiritual world. These two worlds differ in quality and operations. The spiritual world is superior to the natural world because it is permanently and eternally set with unchanging systems. The spiritual world supersedes the natural world. The spiritual world always rules the natural world. The supernatural world produced the natural world and controls the dominions and powers that rule in the natural world.

The above Scripture clearly states that God, the Voice who is called Jesus, is the one who created both the spiritual and natural worlds.

He was before all things, and by Him all things are created. God the Voice was incarnated (became flesh) into a human being in the womb of Virgin Mary and was given the name Jesus. Mary conceived by supernatural means. God, who is a Spirit, visited Mary and put in her womb a pregnancy that was contrary to nature. This proves the reality of the supernatural.

God is real. God exists. Science cannot find God in the universe because His throne is not set in the natural world (in which man lives). The Creator lives in heaven, which is not a planet one can find in the natural universe. Heaven is a spirit planet in the sense that its qualities are different from our universe.

A spirit is any substance composed of qualities that are not of natural origin. There are different kinds of spirit beings. God is a Spirit who lives in His own class, above all other spirits. God is the Creator of all spirit beings and has thus set boundaries for and limits on the operations of all other spirits. God alone is eternal, and no other spirit will arise to dethrone Him. Selah.

CHAPTER 1

The Spirit World

T he spirit world is an eternal, organized system of government that reigns over the earth and the creation at large. The spirit world is very real even though its powers are invisible to man’s physical eyes. The world we live in is eternally attached to the spirit world. In fact, the spirit world nurtures our world, which cannot operate independently from the spirit world that sustains it. The powers of the spirit world are always present with us. Our natural world waits for the manifestation of the supernatural for it to change and suit God’s purposes.

I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. (Rev. 1:10-11)

The spirit world is a realm. Death is a realm. Life is a realm. A spirit is any substance with qualities of life that are not of natural origin. We can see the spirit world only with spiritual eyes. Every person has spiritual eyes. Though we are humans who are made of the dust of the ground, there is a part of us that is not made from dust. We are called human beings because we possess bodies made of soil. Anything human about man refers to the mortal body. The mortal body perishes at death and returns to dust. Man is a spirit being who originated from God, who is a Spirit. God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).

Man is also a spirit because he is God’s child. The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him (Zech. 12:1). Man’s spirit lives in a mortal human body. After physical death, the spirit man continues to live in full consciousness. The spirit man is eternal; he is a complete person with parts such as eyes, a tongue, hands, legs, and a separate, conscious mind.

The spirit man has the ability to operate in the spirit world and see everything therein. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit (spirit-man) indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak (Matt. 26:41).

A human spirit has the ability to think and act differently from the dictates of the fleshly mind.

I like the story Jesus told about two people who died. Life continued for them after their burial. It is amazing how these two individuals could communicate and express their feelings of pain and joy. Jesus described the man who was in hell as a full person with a conscious mind, and he remembered everything he left on earth. Man is more than a human body. Others in this life have had experiences of being caught up to heaven while their bodies remained on earth.

The apostle Paul was caught up to heaven and shown things that do not exist on earth. After coming back to this human life, he could not find words to describe what he saw. He wondered whether he was caught up in his full body or whether his body remained and his spirit went. He said anything was possible with God.

I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven years ago. Whether he was in the body or out of the body, I don’t know, God knows. I know that this man—whether in the body or out of the body I don’t know, God knows; was caught up into paradise. He heard inexpressible words, which a man is not allowed to speak. (2Cor. 12:2-4)

There are many experiences people have had in this world that are purely spiritual and have no human explanation. The prophet Elijah was caught up to heaven in his human body by spiritual chariots of fire, and since then, he has stayed in heaven ever since, for thousands of year.

And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. (2Kings 2:11)

The Spirit of God drove Phillip the preacher from one city to another. He was in one place preaching, and after he was done, suddenly he found himself in another city.

And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. (Acts 8:39–40)

Spiritual forces are ever present with us. Spiritual creatures are ever present in our atmosphere and are yearning for fellowship with human beings. We cannot doubt the existence of the spiritual world. Scientists, too, have acknowledged these unseen forces and are producing products that co-function with gases in our atmosphere. The force of gravity, for example, has been proven by scientific experiments, but it is a spiritual force in another sense. Sicknesses are also physical calamities, but they are spiritual forces in a real sense.

Many religions around the world believe in a spiritual world. It is a real world we can touch and operate in. Just as we have things on earth made of natural substances, in the spiritual world things are made of spiritual substances.

Another great truth is that God has made heavenly spiritual bodies for us. They are being reserved and will be given to us in the resurrection at the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. The heavenly spiritual
