We live in a modern culture that minimizes the power of patience, so it's important to understand that as the world around us goes further out of control, we are empowered as Christians through the tools God gives us.

One of these important tools (or weapons) could become more and more distant from our lives.

Imagine sitting on a couch with Jesus as He reveals the hidden secrets of His Word. That’s how I describe Dr. Bill Means’ book, Realms Beyond the Gate. His scholarly presentation of the covenants reveals the spiritual benefits waiting for those willing to journey from glory to glory. Heaven is our destination, but heaven on earth is our inheritance. Many Christians never venture beyond their salvation experience. I’ve always said that getting saved is the easy part; working out your salvation demands commitment. Realms Beyond the Gate explores seven principles that will enlighten, inspire, and empower readers to live as Jesus lived during His earthly walk. Hosea 4:6 (KJV) proclaims, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” God wants people to know who He is and what He has provided. You are the student, and Jesus is the teacher. As you explore the benefits that accompany your salvation, invite the Holy Spirit to open the windows of your heart and mind. There is a seat waiting for you next to Jesus. Just as He spoke into the lives of Peter, James, and John, He is ready to invest in you. There is so much more available! If you are tired of just getting by, then my encouragement is to take the journey to Realms Beyond the Gate.
