Accessing the Realms of Heaven

Accessing the Realms of Heaven is a remarkable, timely, and deeply needed book. Shaun Tabatt approaches profound spiritual realities with a rare combination of biblical seriousness, pastoral care, humility, and discernment. Rather than encouraging sensationalism or experience-chasing, this book consistently points readers back to Jesus, Scripture, prayer, and mature spiritual formation. I especially appreciated its careful treatment of the unseen realm, spiritual authority, near-death experiences, discernment, and the dangers of counterfeit access. Shaun writes with clarity, courage, and compassion, helping readers take supernatural realities seriously without losing theological balance. This is an important book for anyone seeking to understand prayer, spiritual experience, and heavenly realities in a way that is both biblically grounded and spiritually wise. This highly recommended book is clarifying, strengthening, and spiritually steadying.

We are living in an hour in which the Lord is revealing our access into the realities of His invisible kingdom as the Church continues to mature. Many are encountering heavenly realities—some through faith, others through sovereign acts of God—but in all things Jesus must remain central, and every experience must be grounded in the Word of God. In this maturing season, Accessing the Realms of Heaven by Shaun Tabatt offers a thoughtful and balanced conversation that will both stir the hungry and reassure the skeptical.

Shaun Tabatt's Accessing the Realms of Heaven is a timely and insightful exploration of prayer, authority, and the unseen world. Grounded in Scripture, it affirms the Holy Spirit's ongoing work while emphasizing the importance of discernment and balance. This book is for anyone seeking a deeper relationship with God and a more mature understanding of spiritual encounters.

Shaun Tabatt's book, Accessing the Realms of Heaven, is a brilliant harmony of the different gifts, callings and manifestations of the Holy Spirit in one beautiful paradigm. Most charismatic writers focus on only one aspect of the Spirit's work, such as prophecy or deliverance, without attempting to show how they all work together. This book is insightful, balanced and fills a great void in the body of believers' understanding of God's supernatural work. I think it will become a staple reference work for many Christians for years to come!

Accessing the Realms of Heaven is a timely and much-needed book in a generation fascinated with the unseen yet often lacking discernment. Shaun Tabatt brings biblical clarity, theological responsibility, and pastoral wisdom to a subject that has too often drifted into excess or imbalance. This book does not diminish encounters with God. It restores them to their proper place under the lordship of Christ, the authority of Scripture, and a life of prayer. I highly recommend this work to pastors, intercessors, and Spirit-filled believers who want depth without deception and maturity without fear.

In an age of growing fascination with the supernatural, Shaun Tabatt offers a much-needed call to biblical discernment. Accessing the Realms of Heaven takes the reality of the unseen realm seriously while keeping Christ firmly at the center. Whether discussing prayer, spiritual warfare, or supernatural experiences, Tabatt consistently points readers back to Scripture and to the only true source of access to the Father—Jesus Christ. This is a thoughtful, balanced, and pastoral guide for believers seeking to navigate these important subjects with wisdom and confidence.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven by Shaun Tabatt is a biblically grounded invitation into deeper intimacy with Christ, teaching believers how to truly experience God in both ordinary moments and seasons of trial. Drawing from Scripture and firsthand experience, Shaun shows how sustained connection with the Lord becomes a lifeline when life is most challenging. His insights are wise, pastoral, and worth reading.

In a time of growing spiritual confusion and fascination with the supernatural, Shaun Tabatt offers a rare combination of biblical clarity, discernment, and Christ-centered wisdom. Accessing the Realms of Heaven explores prayer, spiritual authority, and the unseen realm with remarkable balance—neither dismissing spiritual realities nor sensationalizing them. This timely and thought-provoking book calls readers away from chasing experiences and back to deeper communion with God through Jesus Christ. Shaun has written an important guide for believers seeking truth, discernment, and greater intimacy with the Father in these extraordinary times.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven is the kind of book the Church needs right now. With so much conversation about the unseen realm happening online and in culture, Shaun Tabatt brings Scripture, balance, and discernment back into the conversation. He affirms God-initiated encounters while making it clear that prayer is about authorized access, not spiritual exploration. This book gives readers a grounded, Christ-centered way to engage the unseen realm without being pulled into confusion or counterfeit experiences.

Our God is all about relationship—real, deep, known, and experienced relationship. He created us for communion with Him. He gave His Son to restore us to Him. And He baptizes us in His Holy Spirit so we can connect deep unto deep with Him. As we pursue the depths of our relationship with God, it is important that we stay anchored in the certain, unshakable truth of His Word.

That's why Accessing the Realms of Heaven is such a timely and much-needed book. Shaun Tabatt brings biblical clarity, spiritual maturity, and wise discernment to a conversation that can easily drift into extremes. He honors God-initiated encounters, while keeping intimacy with Jesus, prayer, and the authority of Scripture at the center of it all. This is a Scripture-rich, Spirit-honoring guide that will steady you, sharpen you, and strengthen your walk with God.

What I appreciate most about this book is that while it takes the unseen realm seriously, it never makes the unseen the destination. Shaun Tabatt continually points us back to the reality that our greatest privilege is communion with the Father through the finished work of Jesus Christ. True spiritual authority flows from union and abiding, not technique and striving. In a generation hungry for the supernatural, this book wisely reminds us that the greatest encounter we can have is with the Person of Jesus Himself. As we learn to live from our seated position in Christ, heaven is not merely something we anticipate; it becomes a reality expressed in and through our lives, bringing the Kingdom of God to impact the world around us. This is a timely and needed message for the Church.

One of the things I admire most about Shaun Tabatt is his unwavering commitment to Christ through both victories and hardships. He has walked through real trials, yet his faith, integrity, and devotion to God's Word have remained steadfast. Simply put, if Shaun writes a book, I want to read it. In this timely work, he offers a balanced, biblically grounded exploration of spiritual realities, helping believers navigate the unseen realm with discernment, humility, and confidence in Christ. This book points readers beyond experiences and back to Jesus—the One who matters most.

This is the rare kind of book that slows you down in the best way. It doesn't hype the unseen—it orders it. In a moment when curiosity is louder than discernment, Accessing the Realms of Heaven chooses depth and maturity over drama and sensationalism. Shaun Tabatt reminds us that authority isn't seized; it's received—and that the truest access point isn't a momentary experience, but a deep, substance-based relationship with God. This book won't make you chase heaven. It will teach you how to live from it.

This book, Accessing the Realms of Heaven, is so good because it opens the door for anyone to follow and understand. My favorite chapter is 5, "Why Heaven Does Not Open on Human Terms." Shaun is so accurate on this subject, and I believe there will be major healings of the soul for most that read it. Knowing Shaun like I do, I know he put his heart and soul into writing this book. I've known Shaun for a number of years and watched him go through a very tragic time in his life and how God used that time to show him things he would never have known otherwise.

Even though I have been to Heaven, I have learned much more through reading this book.

Thank you, Shaun, for writing this book; it is going to help many people understand how to access the realms of Heaven!

I have known Shaun Tabatt to be an honest and open navigator of the Scriptures. Many years ago he interviewed me on his podcast. He shared with me his passion to know more of heaven and spiritual encounters. I am encouraged that he has taken the time to research Scripture and go beyond just the experience, but instead to support the supernatural with biblical truth. Jesus should be the center of all encounters and in today's world we have to have discernment with what we are seeing and hearing. Jesus Himself said, even the elect will be deceived (Matthew 24:24) In this book, you will find both encounter and the wisdom to back it up!

Shaun Tabatt is not only a trusted publisher and respected interviewer, but also a good friend whose heart for truth and spiritual maturity is evident in everything he does. In Accessing the Realms of Heaven, Shaun offers a timely and much needed guide that brings clarity, balance, and biblical grounding to a topic often surrounded by confusion. He skillfully leads readers into a deeper understanding of the unseen realm while keeping Scripture, discernment, and Christ-centered prayer at the center. I wholeheartedly endorse both this book and the integrity of the man who wrote it, believing it will strengthen believers, equip leaders, and bring maturity to the body of Christ.

Is your family saved? Does God expect YOU to do something about it? Shaun's new book, Accessing the Realms of Heaven, presents accessible truths and thought-provoking realities that will intrigue the most curious of seekers, challenge the most dogmatic skeptics and captivate those who didn't know they needed this information. Read it! Then, get it into the hands of those who must know Jesus... before it is too late.

As one who has ministered with and sat across from some of the leading voices in prayer, prophecy, and the unseen realm, I can actually say that my friend, Shaun Tabatt, combines scriptural rigor, ministerial sobriety, and pragmatic prayer guidance to demonstrate how real encounters with the Lord are ordered, Christ-centered, and ruled by biblical verses. Regardless, if you're charismatic, Pentecostal, or just curious, this book will strengthen your confidence in prayer, augment your spiritual discernment, and supernaturally assist you to live from heaven's authority, instead of just chasing experiences. I strongly recommend that you add Shaun's latest literary endeavor to your library. You'll be glad that you did!

In an age when untethered fascination with the unseen realm is beginning to outpace biblical discernment, Shaun Tabatt offers a timely and much-needed corrective.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven does not dismiss spiritual encounters or gifts of the Spirit, rather, it rightly aligns them with Scripture. What makes this work especially important is its insistence that access to the spiritual realm is never casual. In my own research, I have shown that what many modern voices call portals, gateways, liminal spaces, or "the backrooms" are not neutral spaces of exploration—they function as cosmic thresholds. To cross a threshold into the unseen realm (whether through psychedelics and entheogens, astral projection, lucid dreaming, brain entrainment, Eastern meditation techniques, or reality shifting) is not merely to observe; it is to participate, to come into agreement with, and in many cases, to enter into covenantal alignment with spiritual beings—whether one realizes it or not.

Tabatt's framework reinforces this crucial distinction. By grounding access in Christ as the only legitimate door, he exposes the growing cultural deception that treats the second heaven (the "heavenly places," the epouranios of Ephesians 6:12)—the realm many today casually engage through practices like astral projection—as if it were spiritually neutral terrain. It is not. It is structured, governed, and responsive to authority.

This message is especially urgent given the current digital climate. A simple search on TikTok reveals millions of posts under hashtags such as #astralprojection, #astraltravel, and #outofbodyexperience, many explicitly instructing users—often minors and young adults—on how to access these realms apart from Christ. What previous generations could only hope to achieve through occult initiation is now being democratized through algorithm-driven curiosity.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven stands as a pastoral, biblical, and Spirit-filled response to this moment in time. It calls believers away from curiosity-driven trespass and back to covenantal access through prayer, union with Christ, and spiritual authority rightly understood. In a culture teaching people how to "leave their bodies" without ever asking who—or what—they may be aligning with, Tabatt reminds us of a sobering truth: every doorway is a threshold, and every threshold carries covenantal consequence.

In a time when curiosity about the unseen realm is exploding across podcasts, media, and online voices, many believers feel caught between two extremes—skepticism that dismisses the supernatural altogether and sensationalism that drifts untethered from Scripture. Shaun Tabatt offers something rare and deeply needed: steady ground. Accessing the Realms of Heaven is a stabilizing, Spirit-honoring, Scripture-centered guide for navigating the mysteries of the spiritual world without losing our footing in Christ.

With pastoral wisdom and biblical clarity, Shaun neither chases hype nor fuels fear. Instead, he gently leads readers into a mature, balanced understanding of how heaven and earth intersect—rooted not in speculation, but in the finished work of Jesus and the authority of God's Word. This book protects the heart from excess and imbalance while preserving childlike openness to the authentic activity of the Holy Spirit. What I especially appreciate is the tone: invitational, grounded, and deeply Christ-centered. Shaun reminds us that spiritual experiences are never the goal—intimacy with Jesus is. Prayer, discernment, and Scripture remain our compass.

If you long to explore the realities of the unseen realm without drifting into confusion or fear, this book will serve as a trustworthy companion. It is a call to truth, balance, and mature faith—anchored in biblical authority and centered on the presence of Christ. Shaun has given the Church a gift: wisdom for the curious, safety for the cautious, and clarity for us all. Highly recommended.

I love this book! It is a valuable handbook for everyone who desires to advance in the glory realm and walk more fully in the manifest presence, supernatural power, and divine purposes of God in truth.

According to Barna Research, 82 percent of American adults say they believe in, or are open to, a spiritual or supernatural dimension. That means the unseen world isn't a fringe conversation anymore. It's the conversation. The problem is, most people stumbling into that conversation have no map, no authority, and no biblical foundation to stand on—and the Church has largely been silent while the culture fills that vacuum with tarot cards, psychics, and DMT testimonials.

That's exactly why Shaun Tabatt's Accessing the Realms of Heaven is such a timely resource. What I appreciate most is that he anchors the entire conversation on the lordship of Jesus Christ as the only legitimate point of access into heaven's authority. That's not a popular nuance in some circles right now, but it's a necessary one. The three-heavens framework he builds from is solid biblical ground, and his emphasis on discernment, spiritual order, and prayer as a lifestyle rather than a crisis response is something every believer in the Spirit-filled world needs to hear.

In a time when many are either dismissing the supernatural altogether or chasing experiences without discernment, Shaun Tabatt has provided a much-needed biblical roadmap. Accessing the Realms of Heaven is thoughtful, balanced, Scripture-centered, and deeply rooted in the lordship of Jesus Christ.

What I appreciate most about this book is that it never loses sight of the main thing: Jesus Himself. Rather than promoting spiritual sensationalism, Shaun consistently points readers back to intimacy with the Father, dependence on the Son, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit through prayer. He tackles difficult subjects such as spiritual warfare, heavenly access, dreams, visions, the paranormal, and counterfeit spiritual experiences with both courage and biblical restraint.

The body of Christ desperately needs discernment in this hour. We need believers who understand the reality of the unseen realm while remaining firmly anchored in God's Word. This book helps provide that foundation. Whether you are an intercessor, pastor, ministry leader, or simply a believer seeking a deeper understanding of prayer and spiritual authority, you will find valuable insight and practical wisdom in these pages.

I highly recommend Accessing the Realms of Heaven to anyone who desires to grow in spiritual maturity, deepen their prayer life, and walk confidently in the authority that Christ has already secured for His people.

In Accessing the Realms of Heaven, Shaun Tabatt brings biblical clarity to one of the most misunderstood subjects in the Church today: Heaven. In a generation fascinated with the supernatural, Tabatt skillfully balances wisdom and discernment as he explores the reality of the unseen realm while continually pointing readers back to Jesus Christ as the only true Door to Heaven.

This book does not sensationalize the supernatural; instead, it grounds every discussion in Scripture, spiritual maturity, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Tabatt carefully exposes counterfeit spiritual practices while encouraging believers to pursue genuine communion with God. This is a timely, sobering, and deeply needed resource for the Body of Christ.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven by my dear friend Shaun Tabatt is a pastoral exploration of prayer that is grounded in Scripture. Although the book explains how to access the unseen or heavenly realm, it does not cheapen the gospel message by sensationalizing spiritual experiences. Instead, it asks a fundamental question: "How do we live and pray from a place of deepest communion with God?" In essence, the book is not against supernatural encounters; rather, it provides a biblical pattern of relationship, authority, and access so that believers can stay rooted while seeking God with all their hearts. In my own life and ministry, I have often said that we must not seek after experiences, but if we are seeking God with our whole heart, experiences with Him will come. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is hungry for more of God.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven is a book you will not want to put down once you start reading it. You will also want to refer to it often. There are so many teachings to help you understand the unseen realm. The unseen realm is the real realm because we are spirit beings. Shaun takes you on a journey, step by step, line upon line, as he shares how to stay grounded through the Word of God, prayer, and discernment.

As someone who has encountered the unseen, supernatural realm for decades myself, I can affirm the principle at the heart of Shaun's book. The question is not whether something happened. It is whether it was authorized by God, submitted to Christ, and bearing holy fruit. I highly recommend Shaun's book to anyone who desires to go beyond where they are in their relationship with God, to understand the authority we have as believers, and to access the places created for us to encounter Him. There is a theme throughout the book that will definitely ground you in Christ, one I have taught for decades: our ultimate destination is union with God. It is not about all the encounters, but about growing and deepening our relationship with Jesus Christ for all of our lives.

In an age when many are skeptical of the supernatural or overly captivated by it, Shaun Tabatt offers a balanced blend of biblical faithfulness and spiritual discernment. Accessing the Realms of Heaven helps readers better understand prayer, spiritual authority, and God's unseen kingdom. Rather than fueling speculation, it strengthens faith, encourages confidence in God's presence, and inspires a deeper walk with Him. This timely resource is both insightful and encouraging, and I highly recommend it.

In a time when many Christians are either fascinated by the supernatural or fearful of it, Shaun Tabatt offers something rare: biblical balance. With pastoral wisdom, theological depth, and hard-won personal experience, he guides readers through some of the most challenging questions surrounding prayer, spiritual authority, discernment, and the unseen realm. Rather than promoting speculation or spiritual techniques, Tabatt consistently points readers back to Christ, Scripture, and a deeper life of communion with God. Whether you come from a charismatic background, a more conservative tradition, or are simply searching for answers amid grief, confusion, or spiritual hunger, you will find this book both grounding and encouraging. Thank you, Shaun, for your dedication in writing this insightful book. It serves as a valuable resource for anyone in the body of Christ seeking a deeper understanding of the supernatural dimensions of their faith.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven is a timely and necessary book in a moment when the Church is surrounded by heightened conversations about the unseen realm. Shaun Tabatt brings needed clarity without silencing the Holy Spirit, anchoring every encounter in the authority of Scripture, a life of prayer, and sustained communion with Jesus. This book confronts the false divide between spiritual experience and biblical truth, calling believers into spiritual maturity, sharpened discernment, and an authentic, Christ-centered intimacy that governs every encounter. It carries both wisdom and prophetic clarity, guarding the reader from excess while remaining fully open to the genuine work of God.

Shaun Tabatt, in his new book Accessing the Realms of Heaven, demonstrates how Scripture and prayer serve as primary keys to breakthrough by accessing the authority of Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit. This book is a vital resource for navigating the unseen supernatural realm with biblical maturity and divine order necessary for a life of lasting spiritual renewal.

Author and podcaster Shaun Tabatt is many things. One thing he is not is boring. In Accessing the Realms of Heaven: Prayer, Authority, and the Hidden Order of the Unseen World, Shaun delves deeply into the spiritual realm, guided and guarded by Scripture and prayer as opposed to trendy pop culture. His books provide focus, truth and a path forward in this clouded, cluttered, confusing world. Why is Shaun so effective? He always puts God first. Accessing the Realms of Heaven is another of Shaun Tabatt's unique masterpieces.

This book offers a responsible, scripturally centered exploration of the unseen spiritual realm, rooted in sound theology. Accessing the Realms of Heaven encourages readers to pursue intimacy with God while remaining firmly grounded in biblical authority and discernment.

I've watched the Church swing between two extremes: ignoring the spiritual world entirely or becoming obsessed with it in unhealthy ways. Shaun Tabatt refuses both errors. Accessing the Realms of Heaven separates what God initiates from what we try to manufacture. It protects the Spirit's genuine work without opening the door to dangerous speculation. If you're navigating these conversations, this book will serve you well.

Shaun is a true theologian and Bible-believing believer who knows both the Spirit and the Word of God. In a day and age of excessive charismatic expressions without holiness and humility at times, this book is a must-read and timely for all believers from all denominations!

In an age of scandal, chaos, and deception, it is dangerous for the Body of Christ to be numbed into passivity, stunned by shock, or paralyzed by uncertainty at a time when heavenly access is more critical than ever. Accessing the Realms of Heaven provides not merely impetus to action, but the guardrails to move safely within biblical borders. This is important and timely.

I have known Shaun as a person of integrity, humility, and deep spiritual curiosity. What I respect most about him is his unwavering commitment to pursuing truth. He is not content with easy answers or inherited assumptions. Instead, he asks difficult questions, explores them thoughtfully, and seeks to follow where he believes God is leading. That kind of honesty and courage is increasingly rare.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven reflects Shaun's sincere desire to better understand the spiritual realities that shape our lives and faith. Whether you agree with every conclusion or simply appreciate the journey of exploration, you will encounter a writer who approaches these topics with passion, authenticity, and a genuine desire to draw closer to God. His willingness to wrestle with mystery while remaining grounded in faith makes this a compelling and thought-provoking read.

More than anything, this book reflects the heart of its author—a man committed to growth, discovery, and a deeper experience of God's presence.

In this age of disclosure, Accessing the Realms of Heaven meets a real need by looking honestly into the unseen realm. As someone who has stood on the other side through a near-death experience, I can tell you that Shaun Tabatt, with the same care for detail readers know from Dr. Michael Heiser, explores the divine council, the nature of Heaven, the second heaven, and both genuine and deceptive NDEs, helping unlock how the unseen spirit world affects us here and now.

Shaun's deep dive into the biblical supernatural worldview comes without sensationalism or chasing after experiences. He shows how, through prayer and a grounded understanding of Scripture, a believer gains spiritual authority in the unseen realm. Not by techniques or works, but through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Avoid the counterfeits. Stand firm against spiritual resistance. Discover the true biblical cosmology of Heaven and learn to discern the real from the false. Accessing the Realms of Heaven does just that.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven is an invitation for us to cultivate a deeper relationship with God. Shaun skillfully addresses some of the most controversial questions facing the church today while refusing to compromise biblical truth. This book is a mature, pastoral, and compelling work that will help readers fix their eyes on Jesus while learning to discern the spiritual realities of the unseen world.

Since September 2024, I've conducted nearly 2,000 interviews with people who claim to have experienced near-death experiences, visions of heaven and hell, angelic encounters, and other supernatural events. One thing has become clear: the experience is never the destination; Jesus is. That's why I appreciate Accessing the Realms of Heaven. Shaun Tabatt explores prayer, spiritual authority, discernment, and the unseen realm with biblical depth and pastoral wisdom, without falling into sensationalism. This book will help readers navigate supernatural topics with confidence while keeping Jesus at the center.

Wow! I am blown away by this book. Shaun put language to the same questions I've been pondering for years. He has spent over a decade exploring the NDE phenomenon, yet this one felt like he was knocking on the doors of Heaven, expecting an answer for what comes next in his faith journey. Chapter by chapter, it's apparent he got the answer, and now he's inviting you to knock on that same door. Shaun passionately reminds us that God is bigger than the box we put Him in. What an unforgettable journey this book will be for every reader willing to explore the deeper things of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We need more in-depth discussions about heavenly realms, but they need to be through the lens of Christ being our access. This book does that. It takes what has largely become a courtroom model (a process of litigation and decrees) and pushes it back toward relationship. Shaun describes the biblical framework for legitimate encounters with God, and he also provides the keys to weigh and test those encounters, to help protect against the counterfeit. What is more important, he shares his own experience of praying and waiting with God through intense pain, an honest and powerful look at persisting toward intimacy with God. He also dives into controversial subjects about the supernatural that the church can't ignore, though we may want to at times. Yet through it all, he points everything to Jesus. I highly recommend this book.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven will fan into flame a yearning for intimate communion with Jesus. Shaun Tabatt’s invitation to explore prayers that access the third heaven is revelatory, reorienting, practical, and personal. Most of us have wrestled with why some prayers go unanswered—and asking that question often reveals that our souls may need re-centering. Prayers offered from a heart aligned with God’s Word reach beyond the contested zone into the realms of heaven. Shaun grounds supernatural experiences in the plumb line of God’s Word and exhorts us to follow Jesus, not the experience. This book is my go-to reference for discerning the source of spiritual encounters, because not all encounters are authored by God.

Our generation needs this book! We must pursue relationship with Jesus above encounters. We must live from a place of union with God rather than experience alone. Our faith must be grounded in truth. I deeply appreciate how Shaun invites us to embrace a culture of union with God rather than an encounter culture, showing us that the supernatural flows from a place of intimate relationship with Jesus. Accessing the Realms of Heaven helps us stay grounded as we choose to walk the narrow road where Jesus alone is the way, the truth, and the life. This book will strengthen your spiritual walk and help you grow in discernment as you enter into greater depths and heights in Christ.

A masterpiece on prayer! Shaun has taken a subject that has been widely written about and brought even greater insight and revelation in Accessing the Realms of Heaven. His personal prayer life and desire to equip you in yours are evident. I love how Shaun takes the reality of spiritual experiences, captures God’s heart, and brings clarity and understanding to all in the Christian faith. He helps you learn to discern what is pure so that your prayers are effective. Most importantly, everything in this book points you toward Christ and a greater intimacy with Him. You will be discipled as you read every page, and you will gain confidence in prayer as you understand this quote from the book: “Prayer is not something you do to access heaven; it’s the natural response of someone who’s already been granted access.”

Having spent years interviewing people who have experienced the supernatural work of God, I know how easy it is to drift toward either skepticism or sensationalism. Shaun Tabatt does neither. Drawing from thousands of conversations, his own careful study of Scripture, and the painful journey of losing his first wife to cancer, Shaun offers readers something rare: a thoughtful, biblically grounded guide to understanding the unseen realm while keeping Jesus firmly at the center.

What makes this book especially valuable is that it is written by someone who has not only studied these questions but also lived them. Shaun understands firsthand how testimonies can bring hope in seasons of grief, how unanswered prayers can challenge faith, and why every spiritual experience must ultimately be measured against the truth of God’s Word. His years of collecting testimonies, wrestling with difficult questions, and testing everything through a biblical lens have given him a unique perspective that shines through every page.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven invites readers to engage the supernatural with discernment, humility, and confidence—not by chasing experiences, but by pursuing deeper communion with Christ. I believe this book will encourage, equip, and bless many believers seeking to navigate these important conversations with both faith and wisdom.

Shaun Tabatt brings rare balance to a subject often clouded by speculation. With biblical depth, pastoral wisdom, and a deep reverence for Jesus, he offers readers a compelling framework for understanding prayer, spiritual authority, and the unseen realm. This book will challenge, equip, and strengthen believers for years to come.

Having served in prophetic ministry for more than three decades, I have witnessed both the beauty of genuine encounters with God and the dangers that arise when believers begin pursuing experiences apart from a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. In our fascination with the supernatural, it is possible to become more captivated by what we experience than by the One who makes every true encounter possible.

In Accessing the Realms of Heaven, Shaun Tabatt offers a powerful and much-needed reminder that Christ is the only legitimate doorway to heavenly realities and that He is the center, the substance, and the fulfillment of them. This book skillfully redirects us from the pursuit of formulas, methods, and spiritual experiences to the Person of Jesus Himself, in whom all spiritual life finds its meaning and purpose.

What I appreciate most about this book is its remarkable balance. It neither dismisses nor diminishes the reality of heavenly encounters, nor does it exalt them beyond their proper place. Instead, it consistently points us back to intimacy with Christ as the foundation for every authentic spiritual experience.

I believe this message is timely for the Body of Christ. If your desire is not merely to experience the things of Heaven, but to know more deeply the Lord of the heavens, I highly recommend this book.

My friend Shaun Tabatt has written a compelling and important book. He is not afraid to ask difficult questions and then probe them in a careful and deeply biblical way. The approach and roadmap he offers readers emerge from his own journey of wrestling with difficult questions about prayer, healing, supernatural encounters, the nature of creation, and the interaction between our earthly life and spiritual dimensions.

What makes this ambitious approach work is Shaun’s dogged commitment to centering everything in Christ and adhering to biblical truth. Much of the Christian world is currently focused on matters such as aliens, UFOs/UAPs, near-death experiences, and the nature of spiritual warfare. In these areas, distractions and pitfalls abound. Part of what helps Shaun navigate this convoluted path is his grounding in Church history and the collective wisdom of the Church fathers, which are too often overlooked today in the pursuit of experiences. Shaun is unafraid to explore and ask questions, but he is also cautious in the way we would want a guide to be in dangerous territory. The result is daring, perspective-shifting, and wonderfully practical; he does not leave us without steps to follow the path he blazes. I highly recommend his work for Christians at any stage of their faith journey.

This book refuses to make the supernatural the destination. Instead, my friend Shaun Tabatt consistently points us beyond experiences, manifestations, and spiritual curiosities to the One who sits upon the throne. Shaun reminds us that the greatest pursuit of the believer is not access to mysteries, but intimacy with God Himself.

This book guards against counterfeit spirituality and invites us into deeper fellowship with God. It will challenge casual Christianity, encourage serious seekers, and inspire believers to move beyond mere religious activity into a life of prayerful communion with the Father. I wholeheartedly recommend it to every believer who longs not merely to know about heavenly realities, but to know the God of Heaven more intimately. Thank you, Shaun, for blessing us with this book!

Accessing the Realms of Heaven is more than a book; it is a spiritual journey into true intimacy. It implores us to rediscover our First Love and ultimately leads us directly into the lap of Jesus.

The argument is very clear: believers are not called to force their way into the unseen realm or chase encounters, hidden secrets, or knowledge. They are called to live from a real relationship with Jesus, to pray and seek His face from their seated place in Him. Believers should test every spiritual experience against Scripture, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the fruit it produces. We should never believe someone’s NDE experience over the Word of God!

Prayer and intimacy with Jesus are the greatest weapons believers have on this planet. They give us greater clarity and discernment, a deeper understanding of counterfeit spiritual access, and greater peace in our position in Christ. This book helps believers stop striving upward from fear or resistance and start living from the place Scripture says they already occupy.

In a nutshell, this book is about true communion with our Heavenly Father. From this position, we receive our true sonship and birthright, which help us understand our identity in Christ. Until we understand our identity, we cannot walk in authority to carry out our assignment in these last days. I pray that whether you are a seasoned Christian or a new believer, you will see yourself crawling up into the lap of Jesus daily, putting your head on His heart, listening for His heartbeat, understanding His nature and character, and letting Him breathe on you. Picture yourself turning toward His face and letting Him breathe into your nostrils.

Not authority for its own sake. Not encounters for their own sake. Just Jesus Himself. Since the beginning of time, it has always been about Jesus, and it will always be about Jesus. This is a book that demands a response. Read it and heed it.

The in-depth search for truth is found in the Word of God. As we search for answers, the deepest part of us awakens as we commune with God and release incense before the Throne of Grace.

This is the place from which this book was written.

My name is Retah McPherson. I have seen for myself much of what Shaun writes about, and I am so thankful to give this praise report about the manuscript before me. This is a brave heart speaking up and allowing people to see for themselves, to understand more, to test the spirits, and to live from truth instead of fear.

But there is also a deeper way to say it: I met Shaun. I saw what was real. I saw hope. I saw life. And life in abundance is what we all pray for. In-depth truth is what we all ask for. Shaun has put it all on paper, and his life displays the reality of it. This is what it means to allow Truth to lead you all the way. Otherwise, you can get stuck.

When you encounter the realms of heaven, you may taste many counterfeits until you realize that you can live from the place where God’s will is already established in you.

Shaun knows for himself that the Throne Room of God is not filled with mystical substance, fantasies, or human effort, but with the most precious substance of all: God’s presence and a heart that seeks His face. Faith-filled prayers are released like incense before Him—tears, repentance, and love that never stops loving.

Sadly, the Body of Christ often fails to speak about these truths. What happens when healing does not come the way we asked? What happens when interference occurs in the realms of heaven?

This book will change your perspective as you take your seat of righteousness, where God’s will and truth are established in the heart and from where we communicate with God—the place where mercy is received, grace is supplied, and truth is unveiled. This book describes the interferences and broken connections that occur when we disconnect from truth and are led astray by searching for our own will above Christ being formed in us.

This is a book that will help settle your heart in truth. These are major issues, and they are addressed in this book. I recommend this book to all who have wondered. And from the inside out, we are taught the new song of the Lamb.

Shaun has done a masterful job with his new book, Accessing the Realms of Heaven!

Understanding how the unseen realm affects our daily lives is imperative. Because of this, I recently published a book myself on this topic. It is incredible how the invisible spiritual realm affects the physical realm we live in every day.

When talking about the unseen spiritual realm, it is easy to drift into sensationalism or an unhealthy fascination with spiritual experiences. I appreciate that Shaun’s work takes the reality of the unseen realm seriously, while refusing to make spiritual experiences the focus. Instead, he consistently points readers back to Jesus, Scripture, prayer, and deeper communion with God.

In Matthew 6:10, Jesus instructs us to pray, “on earth as it is in heaven.” In Accessing the Realms of Heaven, Shaun gives readers clear steps for walking this out. In chapter 8, Shaun highlights one of the biggest keys: that in Christ, we continually walk under an open heaven.

Shaun provides a biblically grounded framework for understanding prayer, spiritual authority, discernment, and heavenly access. This book will help readers navigate complex spiritual questions with confidence while keeping their eyes fixed on Christ. In the end, it is not a book about chasing the supernatural. It is a book about deeper communion with God Himself!

Enjoy the great God adventure!

Many believers long for genuine spiritual encounter but are unsure how to navigate the unseen realm with wisdom and discernment. In Accessing the Realms of Heaven, Shaun Tabatt offers a clear, Scripture-centered guide that keeps Jesus, not experience, at the center. This book helps readers pursue the marvelous work of the Holy Spirit without drifting into speculation, excess, or confusion. Tabatt’s insights are truly a gift to the Body of Christ.

Finally, someone got it right! The revelation that my friend Shaun has regarding the second heaven is spot on. As I read these pages, my heart raced with excitement because of the possibilities we have to influence the work of Jesus around the world. This is a game-changer for intercessors, pastors, missionaries, and church leaders. Why? It changes our perspective on how the unseen realm functions and how we can interact within it. In fact, I will be so bold as to say this should and must be taught in every Bible college and seminary around the world.

Shaun Tabatt’s Accessing the Realms of Heaven arrives at a moment when spiritual curiosity is everywhere, but spiritual discernment is often in short supply. What makes this book valuable is its refusal to choose between openness to the supernatural and fidelity to Scripture. Shaun treats the unseen realm as real, ordered, and consequential while keeping Christ, prayer, biblical authority, and spiritual maturity at the center of the conversation.

This is not a book that encourages spectacle or experience-chasing. It is a careful, thoughtful, and timely guide for believers who want to understand heavenly access without losing their grounding in truth. Shaun brings clarity to a complex subject, courage in addressing contested subjects, and pastoral restraint to questions that too often drift into confusion or excess.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven will strengthen those who pray, steady those who discern, and help the Church recover a more mature understanding of the unseen world. Highly recommended.

Millions, and I literally mean millions, of people are hungering for “more.” They are searching for an encounter with the unseen realm. Some are searching within the confines of the New Age; others are treading the challenging terrain of religion. Yet the Bible describes a life filled with the power and presence of God—not simply as an occasional experience, but as a lifestyle of prayer, authority, and spiritual power. What if the reality of heaven was not simply a future expectation to be experienced after death? What if Jesus meant exactly what He said when He promised life, and that more abundantly?

In this insightful yet practical work, Shaun Tabatt answers the most challenging questions about the invisible realm—questions he once asked himself. In this book, you will learn how to access a life filled with spiritual power, supernatural authority, and intimacy with the Holy Spirit. This is not a book about a denomination or a movement in the Church; it is a biblical guide to a life filled with the power and presence of God.

If you’ve known there is an invisible realm and suspected that it has both an Architect and a biblical architecture, you were right. If you’ve accessed it, or pastored those who do, you need to understand the best framework for authorized entrance. And if you’ve accessed this realm through the ‘forbidden fire’ of astral projection, kundalini energy, psychic encounters, witchcraft, or other New Age counterfeits, you need a new altar and a purer fire, both of which this book will guide you toward.

Shaun Tabatt has written a brilliant book for ministers, mystics, and everyone in between, and I had dramatic spiritual encounters while reading it. The book you hold in your hands brings comforting solutions to the uncomfortable questions you must ask yourself so you can ‘test the spirits’ in your spiritual encounters and see lasting fruit from both your intercession and your visitations with God.

In a culture fascinated by spiritual experiences yet often lacking discernment, Accessing the Realms of Heaven points readers back to Scripture, the centrality of Jesus Christ, and our secure inheritance in Him. With wisdom, humility, and biblical clarity, Shaun Tabatt equips believers to pursue authentic encounters with God while avoiding counterfeit paths. This is an essential resource that will strengthen your faith, deepen your communion with Christ, and fill you with confidence that the best is yet to come.

Are you ready to journey into an unseen world that has impacted every fiber of your life? In Accessing the Realms of Heaven, Shaun Tabatt shares scriptural truth to help you understand and navigate the unseen world. The heart of this work is not to fascinate you with the unseen but to lead you into a deeper, richer communion with God. As you read this book, I pray that you will increase in discernment, grow in your understanding of the Word, and become even more deeply anchored in Jesus.

Accessing the Realms of Heaven is incredibly timely for believers seeking a biblically grounded understanding of what it means to access the realms of heaven. Without sensationalizing the subject or chasing models, Shaun provides a clear, biblical framework for understanding our access through Jesus and our present posture of seated authority.

While many are striving to manufacture spiritual experiences through occult practices, Shaun demonstrates the simplicity of engaging the realms of heaven in the way God intended. Thank you for keeping Jesus at the center and reminding us that, through Christ, we already have access to the Father and are called to pray, discern, and live from that place.

Wow—what a variety! From the spiritual realm to prayer and deliverance, this book covers it all. Shaun goes deep into Scripture, breaks it down, and makes it easy to understand and apply.

He addresses key points I strongly believe in, including the truth that not every vision or spiritual encounter is from God. The enemy often counterfeits spiritual experiences. I especially appreciated his reference to Daniel 10 and the need to pray through spiritual warfare.

After spending two years prostrate before the Lord and building a deeper relationship with Him, I have witnessed firsthand that every spiritual gift and everything we carry is birthed through prayer, relationship, and intimacy with God.

As a deliverance minister and prayer warrior, I believe this is a book you need in your spiritual arsenal. Shaun accurately and thoroughly explains the spiritual realm while continually emphasizing the key: prayer. Stay in His presence and pray!

Heaven is a big place! Near-death experiences tend to be all over the “map”—if only we had an “atlas of heaven”! On the one hand, we are told that people are seeing God and then coming back to life. On the other hand, we are told that no one can see the face of God and live (Exodus 33:20). What is happening here? How do we understand these two seemingly contradictory concepts?

Shaun is doing important work. He is developing a framework for understanding these spiritual realms—that is, teaching us the geography of heaven.
