The spiritual realm is a domain where there is an intense war raging between the forces of good and evil,

and it is perceived in the physical realm of which we are occupants. The forces are spiritual entities created by Yahuah before He formed the physical realm we see around us. We should be equipped with a basic understanding of these two realms, focusing on the realm we occupy, while respecting the boundaries of the other. Yahusha is ultimately in control over both of them. The rebellion of one-third of the sons of Elohim is outside our domain and control, yet we often encounter the effects of spiritual skirmishes that occur. There is a veil keeping us from perceiving the spiritual realm all around us. In the physical realm we are clothed in flesh, which is metaphorically expressed as wool; the spiritual realm is described in the linen metaphors used in the various texts of Scripture. Pure white linen is described as the righteousness of the qodeshim (set-apart ones, Rev 19:8), since they are no longer clothed in their woolen garments.

There are two aspects to our existence, physical and spiritual; one is eternal, and the other mortal, and able to die. The only One that can kill the inner being (our inner vessel, heart, lamp) is Yahuah Himself (Mt 10:28). 2Co 4:18: We are not looking on what is seen, but on what is not seen. For what is seen passes away, but what is not seen is everlasting.
There are two basic aspects to keep in mind concerning the fallen malakim (Hebrew for messengers). The first is to avoid initiating any direct contact with spiritual beings, since contact with spirits is forbidden (its divination, no matter what the intent may be Dt 18). We are to invoke Yahusha, and no other spiritual beings. He created the Heavens, the Earth, and all things seen and unseen. His Word brought forth all the living ones, the sons of Elohim who sang together (Iyyob 38:7) as they watched Him creating the realm we live in. It says they shouted for joy as they watched. The purpose for their existence, and ours, is to give praise, honor, and esteem to Him endlessly (Ps 148).

Col 1:16: Because in Him were created all that are in the Heavens and that are on Earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulerships or principalities or authorities all have been created through Him and for Him.

A second aspect is to never grapple with spiritual beings thinking they must do our bidding; it is only Yahusha they must obey as we pray to Him as He leads us in their presence. It is by the power of His Word as He works through us to dispel a fallen malakim, to free a person bound or influenced by an evil spiritual presence. It is to His authority and power that higher beings must submit. If we are not sealed with His Name, we are not His property and not under His protection. Without Him, we are vulnerable, weaker beings; however, in the future we will rank higher than the messengers, even judge how well they performed their task of guarding us throughout our lives (1Co 6:3). We will be clothed with immortality at that time, but currently this is not the case. For now, we are protected by the presence of Yahushas Spirit in us, as He Who is in us is greater than he who is in the world (1Yn 4:4). Our spiritual warfare is conducted through prayer to Yahusha, by way of praise, thanks, and requests. Any power we are endowed with is solely His presence in us, as we are simply vessels for His use (Rom 12:1). For now, our vessels are mortal flesh (capable of dying very easily). The demonic forces are immortals, wielding great power, and we are not to contend with beings on the higher plane of existence with contempt, nor malign or provoke them. Even Michael (a messenger, the gadol sar of Yahuah that watches over the children Yisrael) made no blasphemous accusations, but only stated Yahuah rebuke you. It is not our place to contend or behave contemptuously, but leave all spiritual matters to Yahusha, our Commander and Captain in the war in the heavens. Its a principality issue. A principality is a realm, domain, or kingdom. Yahusha spoke of this when He referred to Himself as being a Sovereign, but of another dimension, or kingdom at that time (Yn 18:36). His kingdom is where He reigns, so in this place and time it is in the hearts and minds of His followers. His kingdom is in the Heavens, but will be on Earth as well, as we often pray it will be. On our own initiative, we must not go around blaspheming beings, concerning ourselves with matters outside of our principality:

Jud 1:6-11: And the messengers who did not keep their own principality, but left their own dwelling, He has kept in everlasting shackles under darkness for the judgment of the great day.

Even as Sedom and Amorah and the cities around them in a similar way to these, having given themselves over to whoring and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, undergoing judicial punishment of everlasting fire. In the same way, indeed, these dreamers defile the flesh, and reject authority, and speak evil of esteemed ones. But Mikael the chief messenger, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Mosheh, presumed not to bring against him a blasphemous accusation, but said, Yahuah rebuke you! But these blaspheme that which they do not know. And that which they know naturally, like unreasoning beasts, in these they corrupt themselves. Woe to them! Because they have gone in the way of Qayin, and gave themselves to the delusion of Bilam for a reward, and perished in the rebellion of Qorah.
In the rebellion against Yahuahs authority, the fallen ones abandoned His Will in order to perform their own desires. They left their own principality (the spiritual realm), and entered the physical realm to deceive mankind, to misdirect us so we would likewise disobey Yahuah.

Consider these texts carefully: Eph 6:10-13: For the rest, my brothers, be strong in the Master and in the mightiness of His strength. Put on the complete armor of Elohim, for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil. Because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies. Because of this, take up the complete armor of Elohim, so that you have power to withstand in the wicked day, and having done all, to stand.

This armor of Elohim is simply Yahusha in our vessels, and we must be weak, allowing Him to be strong through us. He is our helmet, belt, boots, breastplate, shield, and sword. While we live in the physical realm, we constantly allow Yahusha to reign over our hearts, much like a rider directs a horse. He is controlling the reigns of our behavior, and even our inner thoughts. His Word merges with our inner being as we meditate upon it day and night. As it renews our minds, our behavior follows, and we do only the desires of Yahusha. We closely guard His Name and His Word, and so we are His treasured possession (Mal 3:16-18), His Natsarim. (note Ps 138:2 also) Our own thoughts (from our heart, inner lamp) are the origin of evil activity in our vessels, and when we see others behave outside the will of Yahusha it is because they are seeking their own will (following their hearts desires), flowing with the evil inclination of their hearts. Without Yahushas Spirit in us, we would all be self-serving monsters, as we know we were all born as such. Existing without love, the fallen malakim are much like fallen mankind. Yahuahs Shekinah is no longer with the fallen. Mankind has the offer of restoration to this Shekinah, the relationship with Yahuah, by repentance and calling upon His Name for the forgiveness of sins. We dedicate / pledge ourselves to serving Him in our vessels when we are immersed, which is our sealing for the day of redemption. We have chosen to allow Yahuahs Torah to guide our hearts into the right thinking patterns, thus overcoming our fallen mindset / heart, through the power of Yahushas Spirit given to us. His Living Word teaches us selfless love toward our Creator, and one another.

Rom 12:1, 2: I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of Elohim, to present your bodies a living offering set-apart, well-pleasing to Elohim your reasonable worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim. Not our will, but Yahushas be done.
Love always,

Latin copyists went so far as to take out the Messiahs Name from manuscripts, and insert Christograms (google that). IC XC, & IHS became coded references to conceal the true Name from the eyes of individuals that may have wanted to learn more, and this technique facilitated a method of withholding the true Name. Knowledge was closely controlled. The Truth is getting out today. The true Name by which we must be delivered needs to be shared widely (Acts 4:12). It is the Name above every name.
