About This Quote
The Christian faith today is perceived as disconnected from the supernatural world – a dimension that the vast majority of outsiders believe can be accessed and influenced. The supernatural is the world of spiritual beings, of angels, spirits, demons, gods and goddesses. This world is divided into two realms: the spiritual world and the natural world. The spiritual world is where people go to seek divine guidance on some matter. Angels are for helping people through their lives, demons are for bringing some kind of sickness or hurt to someone, and gods are simply for being worshiped.
The natural world is everything that exists in this universe outside of the spiritual world. The natural world consists of human beings, plants, animals, rocks and minerals. The supernatural beings live on something called Heaven, which is beyond our natural understanding. Humans do not have the ability to know what Heaven looks like or what it's made of.
Heaven exists outside of our Earthly realm and it's where God resides with his angels. Also known as 'God's Kingdom', Heaven consists of all of God's creation - everything that exists in the physical realm of existence - but without its evil forces. When someone dies they simply move to Heaven or Hell instantly after they pass away. If you are not sure if you are going to heaven or hell after you die then pray about it first - ask God to give you a sign if you're going to Heaven or Hell - because God will give you a sign about your future if you ask him first!
