1. HEAVEN’S LIFE ON EARTH – By Ron McGatlin
HEAVEN’S LIFE ON EARTH
By Ron McGatlin
The wrecking ball of God’s pure holy love swings by the arm of God to clear the land for the life of heaven on earth. The fire of God’s pure holy love reduces the debris of wreckage to ashes. From the ashes arises the beauty of heaven’s rule on earth as it is in heaven.
“To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.” Isaiah 61:3-4
The wicked do well to recognize the pure holy love of God as destructive to the darkness of their ungodly lives. Their wild hatred toward God and His people is justified in their darkened hearts. The light of God is death to their evil ungodly ways. The lust of the darkness inflames their souls to steal, kill, and destroy anything or anyone of God and Christ Jesus on earth in an effort to preserve their lives of darkness. (John 3:19-20).
THE GARMENT OF GOD
The woven fabric of the Spirit of Christ in God’s body of people on earth is the robe of God’s love that overlays the word.
A portion of the hem of this garment of love is hung up in the mechanism of the godless evil machine of leftist humanistic philosophy and far right religious dogma. Both extremes are of darkness. The snarled entanglement restrains the movement and the growth of the works of the worldwide blanket of God’s robe of love.
The long-suffering of God’s mercy has waited for the hearts of the people involved in the entanglements to turn to Him and be filled with His pure holy love.
For the sake of the whole body the infected entangled portion is now being surgically removed. Believers who are hopelessly entangled in the darkness of the fallen world order such as leftist political or far right religious ideologies of darkness are being mercifully removed from the earth. Their life on earth is no longer fruitful but is actually harmful and restraining to the advancing works of the love of God bringing forth the kingdom of heaven on earth. Even though their lifetime on earth is cut short, those leaving that trust in Christ Jesus as savior are taken to their reward in heaven.
The survivors that were close to those who are leaving are now sensing a deepening movement in their lives toward experiencing greater personal pure holy love relationship with Spirit God. In the perfect wisdom of God, the death of the person is doing what the person could no longer do in life; it is drawing others into a deeper experience of the pure holy love of Spirit God.
CHANGING TREES
As the robe or mantel of love comes down from heaven, it slips down upon the shoulders of God’s people and becomes a comfortable fit of heavenly life. Consumed by His love, we are abandoning our connection with the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” At the same time we are connecting into the “tree of life” in deep intimate love relationship with Father God in Christ by the Holy Spirit.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is characterized by our dependency on man’s intellect to govern our lives and ways without God. Neither man’s good nor man’s evil are of God, and both lead to disorder and death. Man’s attempt to rule life from his own understanding is always a perversion of the truth and reality of God’s ways of life.
The effects of man’s rule from the tree of knowledge of good and evil are very visible in the current world governments and world conditions.
Man’s erroneous attempt at the rule of “good” is clearly visible in the secular humanistic views of “political correctness,” acceptance and popularity of all forms of immorality, gender disparity, abortion, and many other ideological views and practices of man-centered tolerance and acceptance of evil that are thought to be “human good.”
Man’s erroneous rule of “evil” darkness is clearly seen in political and religious ideologies such as Nazism, Islam, white supremacy, communism, new world order, witchcraft, mind control, sorcery, and many other religious, occult, and secular tyrannical groups and movements that attempt to rule the world by force and trickery.
THE TREE OF LIFE
The tree of life is hearing and seeing the will and ways of God through intimate communion with God by the Spirit; rather than trying to figure out what is right to do from our own limited human intelligence and understanding without God.
The tree of life is the rule of Father God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit in the yielded heart of man. It is mankind fully connected to God in a pure holy intimate love relationship. It is Christ in man ruling and reigning on earth.
Partaking from the tree of life produces the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven on earth. The kingdom of God on earth is a God-designed system of mature Spirit filled and Spirit led Sons on earth bringing forth the will and ways of God in heaven on earth.
LOVE AND GLORY OF GOD
The glory of God is the love of God. The love of God is the glory of God. God is love.
The expression or moving of God’s love is the manifested glory of God. All heavenly power and wisdom flows by love to produce the glory of God. All creation bears the mark of the love of God flowing the power, wisdom, and authority of God to the glory of God.
To the extent that the love of God rules on earth, the glory of God fills the earth.
The government of God, the kingdom of God on earth is the manifest presence of God in and with man flowing the love of God ruling and reigning on earth producing the glory of God.
LOVE AND AUTHORITY
GOD’S AUTHORITY FLOWS THROUGH THE BLOODLINE OF CHRIST JESUS. All authority on earth is given into the Son of God through the perfect love relationship of Jesus and Father God. (Matthew 28:18) (John 17:20-23).
Perfect love produces perfect obedience to the Father in the Son. Perfect obedience to the will and ways of the Father produces perfect order of life on earth, perfect peace, and abundance of life to mankind and all life on Planet Earth.
Christ in us produces a perfect love relationship with Father God and opens the way to perfect authority, power, and wisdom to flow the perfect will and ways of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven, and the glory of God fills the earth.
NOW IS THE TIME AND SEASON FOR THESE THINGS.
Dear friends and family of God, this is not something for the future by and by in the sky. This is for our lives today.
This is the reality of the kingdom of God within us. The perfect life of Christ within us is the love and the glory of God on earth now in you and me. The perfect peace that passes all understanding with joy unspeakable and full of glory in the kingdom of God possess us as we possess the love of God by the Spirit of God in Christ Jesus within us.
This kingdom reality is first in us to flow out of us to change the world around us. We can flow to the world around us that which we possess within us.
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHT WAY OF LIFE AND THE WORLD WILL BE GIVEN TO US.
SET YOUR HEART AND MIND ON SPIRIT THINGS FROM ABOVE.
My prayer for you and me today is that we all receive a greater revelation of “The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:26-27.
