Years back after an outreach, I was privileged to join other brethren to pull down a shrine in a remote village in Ghana. One of the items surrendered was an iron arrow and a carved snake.

I was told that when they want to harm their enemies, they'll shoot that iron arrow or speak to the carved snake to go harm their victims. Believe me, it works. We've heard of people who will cry from their sleep all of a sudden because of a sharp pain. They do  not understand where it is coming from and how they came about it.

A woman once told me how an ant stung her on her breast while sleeping. The pain was sharp and excruciating. She thought the pain would go but it persisted. She went to the hospital and was diagnosed of a benign tumor in her breast. That is not an ordinary ant.

What is a  realm? It is an area of interest or activity. We are on earth living our daily lives and carrying out various activities. This space can be regarded as 'earthly realm'. For now, this is where our physical body operates.

However, there is another realm that is more real and superior in organization than this earthly realm. This realm controls the earthly realm where we live and only those that understand the operations of this realm will be masters over the earthly realm. We call this realm the spirit realm.

Often, we have heard the spirit realm controls the physical. That's a truism that is incontrovertible. Most of the things we see today have been concluded in the spirit realm before they manifest in the physical. The sicknesses, wars, volcano, air mishaps, road accidents and all the negatives we see have been settled in a realm where most of us aren't conscious about.

If you've ever had a descriptive dream that came to pass the way you see it, you've been privileged to see into that realm.

The realm of the spirit is one not two.  

It is a realm that is real with structures and organization. Satan and God operate in that realm. The holy angels of God and satanic angels and demons also operate in that realm but on different sides and with different goals.  

We cannot fully take charge over our lives here on earth unless we understand spiritual principles and secrets that unlock the spirit realm.

Apostle Paul enjoined that we live in the spirit: "So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh", Gal5:16.

Our walk should be a walk in the Spirit and by the Spirit. We have the advantage of the Holy Spirit to navigate the spirit realm and live in victory.
