We live in two worlds--or better, in one world with two parts, one part
that we can see and one part that we cannot see. The unseen world is, in
fact, more weighty and more real and more dangerous than the part of
reality we can see. Things are not what they seem. There is more going
on here than meets the eye. Far more.--John Eldredge
The Christian life means living in the two halves of reality; the supernatural
and the natural parts. I would suggest that it is perfectly possible for a
Christian to be so infiltrated by twentieth-century thinking, that he lives most
of his life as though the supernatural were not there.--Francis Schaeffer
For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical
opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the
master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the
spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
--Ephesians 6:12 (Amplified Bible)
