The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

and descending from God into the earth. A last thought concerning spiritual portals is that they are supported by heaven’s spiritual pillars. See Principalities and Protocratics. The prophetic mind-set knows that what is seen is not all that exists. Hence, when it comes to acknowledging that there is a world backing ours, with citizens, power, kingdoms, and authorities greater than earth’s, they have no problem accepting and complying with it. Refer to Titus 3:1. Prophets know that where the Godhead and their agencies dwell is where they receive their spiritual and supernatural genre. Recognizing also that all the references, inferences, antecedents and precedents, patterns and prototypes of this world are contained in the Bible, prophets appreciate that whatever happens in the earth is a direct result of what is ordained or transpires in the heavens. So when it comes to portals (also see Gateway), prophets comprehend that the Lord as Creator provided access and egress points in the planet for His spiritual creatures to enter and exit it as needed. Of course prophets are not so naïve as to think that only good creatures use them, but they nonetheless accept that they exist because that is what the word of God teaches. Portals are presented in Scripture as being sources of light, illumination, and blessings. They release happiness, provisions, and prosperity. The portals of God were equated to what the olive trees produce and that is glistening anointing oil that in those days mirrored light. It is why the light metaphor is attached to portals when they open and release the light of the other world. The spiritual portal is the equivalent of all that the anointing can supply as a sign of God’s approval and covenant provisions. They say that heaven is open over one’s head. The following passages refer to spiritual windows (portals): Genesis 7:11 and 8:2; Joshua 6:19; Isaiah 24:18; 2 Kings 7:2, 19. See also Deuteronomy 28:12 and 32:34. Based on the Lord’s declaration of Deuteronomy 28:12, it is established that He has a treasury, a storehouse of provision both in heaven and on earth. These are providentially assigned and may be withheld for various infractions of the Creator’s law. Revelation 4:1 and 11:19 further support the reality of divine or heavenly portals that go all the way back to Isaiah 48:16–17, where it talks about the dispatch of the anonymous Second Person of the Godhead. The other passage, Micah 5:2, elaborates by revealing that the goings forth of the Son of God were by means of a divine portal such as Jacob’s ladder from which Jesus also received heavenly sustenance. Micah’s reference defines an egress for traversing back and forth as well as the products created to be transported
