Seven-Step Biblical Spiritual Exercises

Biblical Spiritual Exercises
for Supernatural Walk with Jesus

Gaze upon the Lord Jesus with intent and persevere with expectation

Dr. Bruce Allen defines “Translation by Faith” as “moving supernaturally by the Spirit of God for His purposes,” and that “spiritual catching away” is Translation, e.g. the Apostle John was caught up in the Spirit to write the Book of Revelation (Rev. 1:10-13); whereas “physical catching away” is translocation, e.g. Philip was physically taken away supernaturally after baptising the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:39-40).

The Lord Jesus taught Dr. Bruce the 3 core keys to entering the supernatural realm by Faith:

1. You are Light
2. Acts of Faith
3. Sanctified Imagination

You are Light

The Key to Opening Portals

Acts of Faith

Activate Spiritual Connection

Sanctified Imagination

Enter the Spiritual Realm

1 You are Light - Opening Spiritual Portals

All born again children of God have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. This makes us one with the Lord Jesus in Christ. We are created in God’s image (Gen. 1:27; Eph. 4:24). Like the Lord, who is Light (1 John 1:5; John 8:12), we are a being of Light (Matthew. 5:14), “because as He is, so are we in this world.” (1 John 4:17)! As a Light, we have the same frequency of light, which enables us to open the spiritual portals and walk supernaturally with the Lord.

2 Acts of Faith - Activating Spiritual Connections

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen … But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Heb. 11:1,6) A step of faith is a step of connection with the spiritual realm, making the manifestation of spiritual things a reality. “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” (James 2:17) When we make actual contact and connection with the spiritual realm through faith, it will bring about the manifestation of spiritual things.

3 Sanctified Imagination - Entering the Spiritual Realm

The imagination is a real spiritual organ, it’s the gateway and channel through which we connect with the spiritual realm and bring forth spiritual manifestations. The Lord tells us, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” (Prov. 23:7); “But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Matt. 5:28) God created the imagination so that we could meet the invisible God there and bring down the presence of heaven. The sanctified imagination is the gateway to the Kingdom of God. When we exercise our imagination, we move in the invisible spiritual realm until spiritual manifestations become a reality! We must "sanctify our imagination" to prevent the enemy Satan from using our imagination to put unclean things and images into our minds, which become the entrance for evil spirits.

In short, when we grasp the fact of "You are Light", we can sense our own "Light being" through sanctified imagination, and then realise the "Light manifestation" through faith, thereby entering the supernatural realm!

Methods of Biblical Spiritual Exercises

Building Intimacy with the Lord Jesus

Set aside a “sweet time” just for you and the Lord. Insist on connecting with the Lord during this time every day. Pray, worship, meditate on the Lord or His Word “in your heart”, meet the Lord with your imagination, and “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Ps. 46:10) Spend time with the Lord and become familiar with His voice, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27); “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” (James 4:8)

Pray quietly in your heart, focusing on the Lord Jesus

Sit or lie down comfortably in a quiet prayer place where you will not be disturbed. Close your eyes and pray quietly, meditate or pray in tongues in your heart. The quieter your body is, the more you can feel your inner spirit man. Shift your consciousness to your inner spirit man and be consciously aware of your feelings. Do not let your mind go blank. Fix your eyes on the Lord Jesus with your imagination, "see" His face and meditate on His face. Look into His eyes, "see" the light He emits, and try to feel His light shining upon you as you look at Him.

Words have supernatural power.
The Word of God is Spirit and Life with Authority!
First, engage the spiritual realm with the Word of God.
Then enter by Sanctified Imagination.

First, proclaim and meditate on specific words of God in your heart, and then "see“ them with your imagination. After familiarising yourself with the proclamation, close your eyes and use your imagination to visualise each proclamation; "see" the "image" it evokes, meditate on its connotation, let it come alive in you, and internalise it into your life. After the proclamation, use your imagination to enter the exercise section.

Record your spiritual observations and revelations, as well as any feelings, sensations, sights, or sounds you experience.

Pre-exercise Prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for delivering me from darkness to light.
I long to see You and enter Your Holy of Holies.
Cover me and my family with Your blood and
Put a hedge of protection around us and our home.
I declare that my home and all that fills it and dwells in it
belong to the Lord.
I pray that Your blood cleanses my mind, heart and body,
and fill me with Your love and peace.
May the Holy Spirit guide me and my family into all truth.
We are willing to submit ourselves completely
to Your Will and Plan.
Please grant me the experiences of
walking with You supernaturally.

I pray in the name of our Lord Jesus.
Amen!

Step 1: Sanctifying Your Imagination

Close your eyes, pray quietly in your heart, and “imagine” the precious blood of Jesus cleansing your mind and heart.

Proclamation:
My old man (flesh), with its passions and desires, has been crucified with the Lord Jesus. I now put off my garment of flesh and put on Christ, shining and holy, like the image of the Lord.
