It’s deeply troubling my mind that there are actually many dimensions of the Spiritual War which we don’t clearly see.
Maybe I’m seeing this since I’ve been studying the two thousand year old texts about taking on the Armor of God in Ephesians 6 and slowly working through the 68 sermons that Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones preach on that section 60 years ago. Or maybe since our good friends gave me the Unseen Realm Book by Heiser.
At risk of repeating here is the introduction to what Paul wrote under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Anyway, reading this post today gave me a lot of concern about just how into the church some of these new ideas, so popular today have progressed. I’ve been following since the 1990’s when I came out of this cycle of teaching. There are some very troubling ideas in it, not the least of which is this quote:
“Spirit. We are born of the Spirit to walk in the Spirit, which requires both Scriptural understanding and Spiritual disciplines.”
That’s a big step away from Sola Scriptura…..a founding Reformed teaching……
…..and lots of new words even for me, it’s all so mystical and neo-gnostic to me.
Classic example of what Spurgeon said.

Jim WIlder
“Neurotheology is only a part (subset) of the Life Model. The Life Model is only part (subset) of theology and Christian practice. The Life Model is a needed addition to any Christianity that is overly focused on beliefs. It provides correction for the common problems many Christians have living out their faith.
The Life Model supplement for Christian living intentionally leaves eternal matters up to each Christian faith tradition it serves. We do not teach about how the soul gets saved because that is not the purpose of the Life Model and its neurotheology. Preparing the soul for eternity is what churches do.
The Life Model teaches people to begin their post-resurrection life now while they are still in human bodies by teaching the brain in the way the brain learns.”
These people are PROPONENTS of Jim Wilder’s book Renovated, and state here, “The book proposes that:
Salvation is about attachment and uses the human attachment system to grow a new identity
We can experience mutual mind with God
Mutual mind without attachment will not change character”
Jump to about minute 35 when he talks about “mutual mind state.”
More proof that Jim Wilder is connected with contemplatives, how to “Attach with God”:
