THE INVASION OF SUBSTANCE
I will never forget the experience I had as a teenager,
walking home one day. Suddenly it came to me, clear as
day: if you were to travel beyond the speed of light, time
would cease. The closer you got to light speed, the
slower time would get until it stopped “ticking”. Many will
recognise this as being the essence of Einstein’s Theory
of Relativity and think it no big deal. However, the point
is, at that point in time, I had no idea what Einstein’s
Theory of Relativity was, therefore I received this
knowledge by revelation.

Christian people got into political power in the nation.
But over there in the glory, God’s position as Supreme
Ruler has never changed. He is always King and Lord.
His rule is never challenged or opposed. Of course, I am
speaking about the Third Heaven, where God and the
angels dwell. We know that satan and his hordes inhabit
the lower heavenlies.

This means that it is reasonable to expect that more
and more of heaven’s “stuff” will come into this earth
plane. We should anticipate that the realities of the glory
realm would manifest more and more. This is indeed
happening. The Apostle Paul spoke of this paradigm shift
in many aspects. One which would benefit us to look at
is his statement defining what we call “faith”:-

magic. Faith is a scientific thing. It is based on
certainties. The science of faith is very simple; it works
like this: what God has said must come to pass. And it is
based on a simple premise: the blessings a believer
seeks to have manifest in this 3D dimension already exist
in the glory realm. If you wish to be healed in your
physical body, for example, you must believe that your
healing exists in heavenly places already.

and causing them to manifest here. This doesn’t
necessarily mean, for example, that there are Ford
Mondeos in heaven and if you believe for one here, it
means you have one over there. Thank God, you don’t
have to drive a Mondeo in heaven! No, it means that
whatever blessing you enjoy in heavenly realms you can
manifest a physical equivalent here. Manifesting a
blessing that belongs to you in heaven doesn’t mean that
when it is stepped-down into its physical equivalent, you
lose it over there. No, you always have the blessing over
there. Paul speaks of this in Hebrews 10:34, reminding
those saints that they had taken joyfully the plundering
of their possessions because they had a more enduring
SUBSTANCE in heaven. This means that the real essence
of these possessions could never be taken from them
since they were scientifically capable of manifesting
these things again. These things were in heaven’s bank,
where no moth, rust, thief or inflationary economy could
touch them.

full sonship privileges? Those of us who have left this
religious message behind can testify that God’s supply is
conditional on only one thing: do we believe?

which comes quietly into existence” i.e. into
manifestation.

space-time continuum which is governed by the speed of
light was formed by the Word of God.

This actually confirms what many scientists are saying,
that this non-physical realm is not separate from the
material one, but is through and around us. The spirit
realm is not so much separate from the physical universe
but it permeates it. It helps to think of reality in the same
way as the light spectrum. On one end is the light we
can see, which is broken down into many colours;
however, there is invisible light at the other end of the
spectrum, undetectable to the human eye. Reality is like
that. On one end is the invisible realm of spirit, at the
other, the physical, visible dimension. Reality is a
spectrum. It is not like the old Gnostic idea of spirit and
matter being two separate realms. The spectrum
metaphor allows us to see that spirit and matter are
connected and that there is permeation possible from
one realm to another.
You can get God’s attention by what you do, say and
believe. This means that the physical realm can influence
(flow into) the spiritual. Faith exercised in this realm will
move the hand of God in the glory. Faith is the bridge
that crosses the light barrier. It is heavenly materiality
i.e. spirit SUBSTANCE. God wants to transport as much
as possible of it over here into physical reality because it
is the means by which heaven’s reality will invade and
overcome the problems of the physical universe.

Word of God. The Word of God produces FAITH which is
the heavenly SUBSTANCE of invisible things in the glory.
These things must manifest here. As a Christian, your
job is to be a conduit through which SUBSTANCE is to
come to earth. You are to live by this SUBSTANCE.
12
You are not a physical being having a heavenly
experience; you are a heavenly being having a physical
experience. The believer is a spiritual man. The more you
are conscious of this, the easier your life will be. If you
could live your life more intentionally in the spirit, you
would be far more effective for the Kingdom. Being
spiritual necessitates working with SUBSTANCE. It is a
sobering thing to realise that anything done without
SUBSTANCE being involved is classed as sin (see
Romans 14:23).

really is:- “Faith is stuff that comes from higher
dimensions of reality which will bring you things you
really desire and make your wildest dreams come true.
This stuff is heavenly materiality which develops and
forms in you as you hear God’s Word. It is your Aladdin’s
lamp, your magic wand, bringing you the desires of your
heart.”
14
God – in the glory – all things are possible. This field of
unlimited potential and possibilities is where man’s true
home is.
15
changes the meaning of this verse in a massive way. The
Heritage Bible says that God “calls the things not being
as being.” Other versions say similar things. A.T.
Robertson says that God “summons the non-existing as
existing.” The point is not that God calls things which do
not exist into existence as IF they existed. The point is
that He calls them into existence AS they exist ALREADY,
only in another dimension. God is not creating something
new; He is bringing heaven’s reality into its physical
equivalence. God had already made Abraham the father
of many nations. This was a reality to God in the glory
before it ever happened in the earth.

BELIEVE THAT YE RECEIVE
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye
desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive
them, and ye shall have them.
MARK 11:24

time she is pregnant she is in possession of her baby but
in due season that little child will manifest.

it till you make it” deal. But receiving by faith is receiving
the real nature of what you desire. It isn’t conning
yourself; it is reality. Believe that you receive what you
desire and you shall have it. Receiving precedes having.
Receiving the SUBSTANCE of the desired thing precedes
it manifesting in this realm.
19
in the invisible realm of spirit. We see things that are
invisible, Paul said. The person of faith looks at things
which are not seen. This means seeing with spiritual eyes
what is in the spiritual realm. Faith is not mental
visualisation, although mental visualisation techniques
are counterfeits of faith.

and prideful people don’t like this. They don’t like that
it’ll work for anybody who believes. But it will!

THE GOD-KIND OF FAITH
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith
in God.
MARK 11:22
22
There is no strain in utilising the faith of God. It’s HIS
faith! When someone else is driving you somewhere, you
don’t have to worry about traffic or paying for petrol!
This is what Jesus is getting at – the life and operation
of faith is not about strain, effort and stress. It is faith
which does the work, not you. This is the rest of faith
Paul spoke of in Hebrews chapter 4. It is not about your
believing or your faith confession; it’s about what God
said i.e. His SUBSTANCE-packed Word. It is not your
faith which heals you or brings the funds in; it is what
God said about your healing and provision. Having faith
is not about your ability to muster belief, it’s about
packing your heart and mind with His SUBSTANCE Word.
It is literally having SUBSTANCE.
23
people don’t comprehend how God heals. Where would
YHWH go to get your healing for you? It is not something
He orders from a heavenly manufacturer; it comes from
His own substance. He is LIFE and that LIFE repels
sickness and death as it manifests in your body. All the
gifts that God gives us are expressions of His own
SUBSTANCE. He doesn’t give healing; He IS the Healer.
He doesn’t give us salvation; He IS our Saviour. Likewise
with all other gifts. They are an expression of Himself.
This is what the Divine Name means. He is what we need
Him to be.
24
are. Faith is nothing more than accepting you have what
God says you have, that you are who God says you are.
Faith is acceptance of what God said. Too many people
make faith about what they do. It is a matter of their
believing rather than taking God at His Word and
allowing that Word to become in them the SUBSTANCE
of the thing they desire.
When you take what God said – His Word – and ingest
it, it becomes the very essence and substance of what
you desire. That Word spoken by Him will not return to
Him void but will become what it says. This is how man
is to live, not just by natural means but by every Word
spoken from God’s mouth. Your part is to receive and
eat. What you eat and receive in your spirit will manifest
in your outer circumstances. When you have eaten your
fill, then you will speak to your outer world and what you
decree will come to pass.
