- Spirit Call to Rally Now
By Ron McGatlin
Heard only by the people of God, Spirit trumpets are blowing like loud sirens interrupting the normal routines of life. Unheard by the world but piercing through to the ears of God’s people with ears to hear is the powerful and urgent rallying cry from God blaring from heaven.
The call is for God’s people to be prepared to respond quickly and totally to the Spirit call of God to rally together with one another for the great purpose of God that is now at hand. This is not just a call to unify and come together with all other believers in fellowship. It is an urgent call to rally behind a major offensive of God on the earth to spiritually retake all the earth for the kingdom of God. Basically the call is for many of God’s people especially in the Western World to rally together under the call of God to retake the earth NOW.
There is no need to try to lay down our differences.
The urgency and the glory of the work of God at hand melts away any difference among believers. In the fiery glory of the clearing of the land and the establishment of the glorious kingdom of God, there is perfect unity and oneness with God and with one another.
I see in the Spirit a host of marshalling angels prepared to marshal an innumerable gathering of saints into order as an arising Spirit force empowered with the living word of fire from heaven to dissolve all evil and with the Spirit of light to dissolve all darkness. Under the glorious leadership of the Spirit of the Lord, humble marshals are arising among the sons of God, the marshalling angels working with them to quickly bring the gathering of saints into the perfect order of the Spirit to attack the enemy positions and set the captives free. Prison gates and doors are blown off their hinges and enemy stronghold fortifications are being destroyed.
All who respond to the rallying call will be purged and cleansed to be endued with power as they become one Spirit and one flesh with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. The Spirit of the Lord is arising in the humble saints to become an undeniable force to purge the earth and set all captives free to receive beauty from the ashes of the past evil world’s ways.
BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU!
No man shall be able to stand against you all of your days, because I am with you says the Lord. No weapon formed against you will prosper.
Speak the word as it is given to you with all authority, and it shall come to pass. The rampant advance of darkness will be turned back and your enemies scattered to flee before you. They will turn upon themselves in fear and confusion to destroy one another.
TRULY IT IS NOT BY MIGHT OR BY POWER, IT IS BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD!
Rally now in the Spirit of Almighty God in every home, in every micro gathering of believers. Arise to the pure holy brilliance of the light of God that dissolves all darkness to fully open the way for the creative power of God to be released in the words of God poured into our hearts to release the will of God, the kingdom of God on earth.
The call to rally is upon all nations whose God is the LORD to arise: one soul, one family, one micro gathering at the time to the LIGHT OF GOD and be transformed into the pure holy Sons of God, joint heirs with Christ Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords. Only the fiery passion of the love of Christ Jesus for God and His kingdom on earth supernaturally rising up within us and coming upon us from above can and will fill this world with the glory of heaven on earth transforming our world into the Garden of God with peace on earth and goodwill toward all mankind.
The end of human rule without God over Planet Earth is in sight.
The finished work of the Cross is made manifest in the glory of the resurrected life of Christ Jesus in His perfected Bride of mature Sons humbly ruling and reigning by the pure holy love, power, and wisdom of God.
Rally to the call of God now and be transformed to transform the world. The alternative of not doing this is unspeakable and not an option. Let our hearts be broken now and our past life crushed that the indescribable passion of Christ’s love will consume us. Let us receive His life abundantly in us that the power of creation be fully released in us to bring forth the perfect will and plan of God on earth as it is in heaven.
Do not remain unequally yoked with unbelievers.
Come out from among them, and I will be your Father. Come to me all of you that are heavy laden. Take my yoke upon you, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. There is strife in and among both the unbelieving secular people and the religious people. They consistently war and strive within themselves and yet are never satisfied. There is a great rest for those coming out from among them unto the reality of the presence of God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit. It is very stressful to try to destroy evil with evil. There is great rest and joy in destroying evil with good from and in God.
Matthew 11: 28-30: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
THE RALLYING CALL IS NOT A CALL TO STRIVE IN WARFARE.
It is a call to become one with God in Christ Jesus to speak forth the word of God from the place of full rest and trust abiding in His great love and complete provision of authority, love, power, and wisdom. It is the passion of His presence with us and our becoming one Spirit and one flesh with Him. It is the marriage of Christ Jesus and His Bride into one Spirit and one flesh from heaven on earth. It is a call of perfect obedience through love.
The call to rally in God now has nothing to do with religion or religious form, formulas, or formality. All the religions of the world are the strivings of men seeking to attain God through works and sacrifices to please a false image of God.
This call to rally has everything to do with becoming one with God in personal spiritual relationships. It is the love of the ages that originates in God and resonates in His people in all-consuming passion of His life in our being, producing His will and His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
All of the painful sorrow of loss and trouble of past life in the world – every injustice of evil persecution and traumatic works of death are removed and recompensed in the perfect union of pure love in becoming one with God in Christ now in this life and in the life to come.
Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord. The pure love of God is perfected in our forgiveness for all of our enemies. Pray for those who persecute you and say all manner of evil against you. For yours is the inheritance of the kingdom of God.
We must through much tribulation enter the kingdom of God. – Paul.
The much tribulation is not because it is required for us to purchase the kingdom. It is for our purification and brokenness from seeking to attain a position as gods on earth in our own strength and cunning. Our weakness becomes His strength. Our humility becomes His victory, and our worship becomes His joy, and His joy in us is our strength. The joy of the Lord is our strength.
Do not fear little flock; it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. – Jesus

- Our Day of the Lord
By Ron McGatlin
Mankind has been allowed for two thousand years to explore and pursue every conceivable path of governance and life apart from the true God. Now in this day a strong remnant of people are seeing that there is no other way to real life apart from intimate relationship with Father God through Christ Jesus by the indwelling Spirit of God.
Now for the first time in this two thousand year historical journey since Christ Jesus first proclaimed the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD it is again being widely proclaimed and demonstrated. People are beginning to hear and receive the true gospel of the kingdom. For the first time in history since the first century there are many people that are ready and willing to proclaim and demonstrate the gospel of the kingdom.
There are at last two major things happening now!
TRIBULATION IS HAPPENING NOW!
Great tribulation is the result of the real gospel of the kingdom coming forth in a world that is serving other gods. The resulting conflict is widespread tribulation that eventually consummates with the destruction of all that lifts itself against God.
The troubled people and nations in tribulation are offered a pardon and release of all condemnation by the mercy of God through receiving Christ Jesus and His kingdom. The Spirit of God will transform them and place them in the army of kingdom people. Thus the end of their ungodly lifestyle of pursuing false gods and the kingdom of God grows in them and on the earth.
Those who are troubled by tribulation and yet will not receive Christ Jesus and His kingdom will come to a sudden end brought about by the natural results of evil in this world. This will end their portion of evil disorder in the world that was caused by their serving false gods. This is not God’s plan and desire for them. It is caused by the natural results of evil disorder.
THE KINGDOM IS MANIFESTING NOW!
A pure and holy people are being formed who love God with their whole hearts who are receiving the revelation of the true gospel of the kingdom. People from many parts of the world and many ethnic groups are receiving the gospel of the kingdom. The kingdom of God on earth is becoming their passion and their reality. Every aspect of life is being or will be touched by the message of the kingdom of God.
God sent His only begotten Son with the message of the kingdom of heaven on earth and mankind made a religion of it. He has now sent His resurrected Son into our hearts by the Holy Spirit to bring forth His kingdom in us and then on earth. Religions are now or will be fading away making room for the relational kingdom of Christ on earth in His people.
ONLY GOD CAN TURN A NATION
The plan and purpose of God from the ancient ages is coming to pass in our time. People and nations will now be conformed to the will and ways of God and His kingdom.
We all have a part in the manifesting of the kingdom of God.
It is time to rise up and step into the fullness of our part and place in the kingdom. The supernatural spiritual works of God are available to all who will fully turn to God with their whole hearts.
Babylon is burning, and the New Jerusalem is coming down from heaven to earth to rule and reign in His pure and holy people.
Today is our day of the Lord. Arise and shine for the Lord your God is upon you!
