Revelation 4
The Throne in Heaven
4 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a] of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’[b]
who was, and is, and is to come.”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”

"That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." Romans 8:4
Whenever negative thoughts are rising up in us or bothering us or trying to leech on us, we know that it is just a sign to us saying, "You need to get into the law of the Spirit, and you will find another set of feelings. You will find another mind, another evaluation." But some of us would rather talk about our problems. We would rather talk than call upon the Lord and get to God. We are in such a syndrome that it seems we really do not want God. We would rather just talk. But it is wonderful to know that there is another law in us. It is the law of the Spirit that freed us from the law of sin and death. It is a realm where we are freed, literally freed, from that whole scenario that leaves us depressed, discouraged, and anxious.
Follow those symptoms back to their source, and you will discover that they come from the good flesh trying to outdo the bad flesh.
God sent His Son. His Son came into us. Now we are in union with Him in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us. Notice that it does not say "fulfilled by us," but "fulfilled in us." This means that something is happening in us. Who is the "us"? It is those who "do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." This shows that when we walk according to the Spirit, we are walking in the transcendency of Christ's life that is freed from the law of sin and of death. To experience this life is to experience a transcendent life. You can know what realm you are in by whether you are "under it" or "over it." In the Spirit, there are feelings of "over it." But when you are in the other realm, you feel "under it." When you touch the Spirit, you discover that there is a ready- made life that has already won the victory.
The Christian life is entering into Christ. It is merging with Him. It is being transferred out of your self into Him. It is not morbid introspection. It is not religious effort. It is not struggling and straining or using our own energy to try to get to God. That is not it. This life from the start is transcendent. It comes to us that way. You receive transcendency when you receive Him. You do not receive a process. You receive the finished product. You and I receive the One who passed through every kind of experience. Now we call on Him. We call "Jesus." This is participation. This is entering into the Person who is transcendent, who is "over it
