How real is real?

I remember I told a brother one time in the mall, “We ARE His righteousness. We actually partake of HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. It is US. It is in us!” His response in awe (awe of God’s word and Spirit), “You have been getting some revelation.” Then he actually started to step back. I believe he was in shock. The bible says when people encounter God they are in awe and wonder like looking at something they have never seen before, saw the first time or thought did not exist.

So, I’m thinking about this some three to four years later and realize something. I am persuaded and believe I see now in more depth that the righteousness he percieved was more real than what I thought and conceieved at the time. I believe what him and I witnessed was evidence and a demonstration of reality. What does that mean? Just what I said. The reality he saw was “more real” than the mall we were standing in. I believe this is also part of our witness as believers in the Most High. Even our glory with unveild faces as Paul writes.

I have read testimonies of NDE’s (near-death-experience) individuals who claim the “other side” is more real than our world on earth. They witness more sounds, colors, tastes and so on. If the world witness the hypocritcal and fake church and is supposed to think that is real then no wonder they are not drawn.
