THE MYSTERY OF BECOMING THE LOVE OF GOD – By Ron McGatlin
Hidden secret mysteries are awaiting in the Spirit realm for those who enter the Spirit abode of God. One of those mysteries is the metamorphous from an ordinary Christian man or woman into the love of God. A natural mind cannot wrap itself around the Spirit-natural reality of transformation into the pure holy love of God. Our natural minds cannot understand it, and certainly our self-effort cannot produce it. (1 Corinthians 2).
There may be much that our natural minds and human effort can help us to do in applying and walking in the life of pure holy love. However, there is nothing within natural man that can produce the God kind of pure holy unconditional love.
THE ONE AND ONLY SOURCE OF PURE LOVE
Father God, Spirit God, creator and sustainer of all creation, is the only source of true love. God is love.
A big question from the people of today is, “How do I achieve, accomplish, or receive this love?” The thought seems to be that adding God’s love will improve my life and make me a better person.
THE TRUTH IS THAT HUMAN BEINGS CANNOT POSSESS THIS LOVE; GOD’S LOVE MUST POSSESS THE HUMAN BEING.
God’s love is all-consuming. It cannot be successfully added into the other characteristics of our lives. It must individually and personally become our life. We must become the love of God. (1 John 4).
God is love. God is Spirit. Love, Spirit God, became flesh incarnate in Christ Jesus, was crucified on the cross, arose from the dead, ascended to heaven and returned to earth in the Holy Spirit. LOVE, SPIRIT GOD, NOW LIVES ON EARTH IN HIS PEOPLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, GOD ALMIGHTY.
LOVE, SPIRIT GOD, in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit never forces His way into anyone.
A totally sincere invitation to God in Christ Jesus to take possession of your life and live His life in you by the Holy Spirit is the way to become the love of God. This is the only reasonable response to LOVE, FATHER GOD, in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit. (Luke 11:9-13).
THE END IS THE BEGINNING
Laying down your life spirit, soul, and body to invite Holy Spirit to possess the throne of your life is the end of your old life. The flow of Holy Spirit bringing the rush of SPIRIT LIFE OF GOD with LOVE, POWER, WISDOM, and RIGHTEOUSNESS is the beginning of God’s life in you. (Matthew 10:34-39) (Mark 10:29-30).
This reality of God possessing our individual lives and reigning in our mortal bodies on earth is this mortality having put on immortality. It is also biblically referred to as baptism in the Holy Spirit. SPIRIT BAPTISM is the laying down of the life and being saturated and filled with Spirit God life, literally the resurrected life of Christ Jesus.
This is the baptism by Jesus in the Holy Spirit and FIRE. The FIRE is the rushing mighty SPIRIT wind igniting the Spirit-natural life of God fully releasing His love, power, wisdom, and righteousness into our lives. (Luke 3:15-17).
WALKING IN THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT
The life of the Spirit empowers us with the love, power, and wisdom of heaven. All things in accordance with the will of God are possible to us. We become a dangerous threat to the powers and works of darkness. Spirits of darkness recognize our potential threat to them as we walk in the powerful life of Christ within by the Holy Spirit. (Galatians 5:16-26) Colossians 1:26-27).
The church and believers who do not fully walk in the sanctifying fullness of Spirit God are not a threat to darkness and therefore are much less of a concern for the powers of darkness. In fact the church and believers may become infected with darkness by the trickery of the enemy and be used as deceived pawns to hinder the works of God’s people.
THE TURNING TO SPIRIT LOVE AND POWER
The supernatural, or as I like to call it, SPIRIT-NATURAL works of LOVE, SPIRIT GOD, abiding in and working through the prepared people of God is a major characteristic of the now arising move of God that is taking place in the midst of the desolation of all that lifts itself against God Almighty.
Mankind on a worldwide scale will lose their past way of life. No one will remain unchanged as the love of Almighty Spirit God invades Planet Earth with righteousness. All the earth shall be brought into alignment with the ways of God from heaven. The unchallengeable POWER of SPIRIT GOD flowing the LOVE of God will cleanse and restore the earth. (Revelation 2:18-29).
Every person will meet the love of God. Some as loving Sons and Bride of Christ and some in condemnation as sons and harlot of the evil one. All will turn one way or the other. The evil and vile will grow more evil and vile unto judgement. The godly loving righteous will grow even more IN LOVE and more powerful in the peace of God on earth. Christ Jesus, SPIRIT GOD, is now bringing a great divide of the sheep nations of LOVE from the goat nations without love. (Matthew 25:31-46).
There is now a most powerful peaceful life available for us even in the midst of a traumatic season of change. Our greatest life potential of Spirit-natural life in the powerful love of God is available to us. Let us lay down our lives before Him. COME HOLY SPIRIT FILL MY LIFE WITH THE RESURRECTED LIFE OF CHRIST JESUS. POSSESS MY HEART AND LIFE WITH YOUR LOVE. I GIVE MY LIFE TO YOU WITH NO RESERVATIONS. I LOVE YOU FATHER GOD. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME YOUR LOVE ON EARTH.
Much Love to All,

SPIRIT PREDOMANCY AND TRUE IDENTITY – By Ron McGatlin
The great move of God bringing great change to the world does not originate and is not empowered by the works and ways of the natural realm. It originates and is empowered by the Spirit realm. The reality of the Spirit realm is unseen and unknown to the natural man. (1 Corinthians 2:13-16).
We are born with keen awareness of natural existence through our five natural senses and with little or no awareness of the spiritual realm. There may be some inherent awareness of spiritual sensitivity in babies and small children. They may see or otherwise sense some presence of spiritual activity. However, it will be taught out of them as natural human thinking is trained into them. (Matthew 23:15).
Our natural human perspective sees the natural realm as far more real and important than the spiritual realm. (Matthew 6:31-33).
THE GREAT SHIFT OF PERSPECTIVE
The next great move of God on earth is the awakening to the reality that Spirit is supreme and of far greater importance than the natural realm. It will be a breakthrough of the light and truth that GOD REALLY IS SPIRIT and that MAN WAS CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF SPIRIT GOD. (John 4:24) (Genesis 1:26-28)
SPIRIT GOD CREATED AND CONTINUES TO SUSTAIN ALL THAT IS CREATED. All things seen and unseen are created by SPIRIT GOD ALMIGHTY. (Hebrews 11:3) (Colossians 1:15-18).
MANKIND WAS CREATED A SPIRIT BEING in a natural or earthly body with both earthly natural senses and spiritual senses. The breath of Spirit God was breathed into the lifeless body of Adam, and man became a living Spirit being. (Genesis 2:7).
As a Spirit-being in an earthly body, Adam, and subsequently all mankind, was created with the unique ability to fully function in the Spirit realm and in the natural realm. Adam communed with Spirit God face to face in the cool of the day in the Garden of Eden before the fall. (Genesis 2:19-20a) (Genesis 3).
Mankind was created with the unique ability to receive from God in heaven and bring the will of God from the spirit realm into the created natural realm. Man was created to have dominion and bring forth the will and ways of God from heaven to planet earth. This is how the kingdom of God, kingdom of heaven is being established on earth.
THE NEXT GREAT MOVE OF GOD
The beginning of the work of Spirit God is awakening mankind to the Spirit dominance as supreme over the natural realm. This opens the way into the fullness of God’s kingdom reality ruling and reigning in and through the mature Sons of God on earth as it is in heaven. It is through the Holy Spirit that Christ Jesus reigns on earth in and through mankind. It is Christ in us that is the hope, positive expectation, of the glory of the kingdom of God on earth. (Colossians 1, 26-27) (John 17:20-26).
Mankind is now beginning to perceive the predominance of the Spirit realm over the natural or earthly realm. The light of the glory of the kingdom is beginning to flow from heaven to earth in and through the maturing Sons of God. (Romans 8:19-22).
WHO ARE YOU?
Perhaps the most significant personal question one can ask his or her self is, “Who are you?” To attempt to look into one’s self and ask this question may smack of being “beside yourself,” which is an old term for being crazy. Perhaps a more helpful question to ask is, “Who or what does God say that I am?”
This is not to become an introspective word but really and enlightening awakening of one of the most important fundamental concepts of our lives as human beings.
The Psalmist David asked God, “What is man that you are mindful of him?” David goes on to speak of man having dominance over the works of God’s hands on earth from a position a little lower than Deity. Psalm 8:3-8: “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, 4 what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? 5 For You have made him a little lower than “Elohim,” and You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, 7 All sheep and oxen— Even the beasts of the field, 8 The birds of the air and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas.”
THE FALLEN CONDITION OF MAN
Most people have individually come to know themselves as a natural human being that is predominantly a living body and soul who has a spirit. In other words, natural man concerns himself primarily with the things of natural life that relate to body and soul needs for natural life. (Matthew 6:31-33).
Jesus opened and prepared the way for mankind to be redeemed and returned to who and what God made us to be before the fall of Adam. God made us to be Spirit Beings who abide in a body and have a soul. Redeemed man is a living Spirit Being by the breath of God ruling and reigning on Planet Earth with Christ Jesus the one Head of His corporate Body. (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
Collectively we are the Body of Spirit Christ on earth. As mankind is fully redeemed, Christ Jesus is fully enthroned as the Head of His Body. The false head of humanism and intellectualism along with its laws of political correctness, manmade religious correctness, and other ungodly philosophies are replaced by the one true Head. (1 Corinthians 12:12-31) (Ephesians 4:13-15).
The false headship that reigned among men for ages ignored the Spirit life of God and eventually led to evil rule of darkness on earth. The loving but severe judgments of God will destroy the evil strongholds of the enemy releasing the people who will to come under the true headship of King Jesus. Thus the kingdom of God will rule and reign on earth as it is in heaven.
Praise God! The time of consummation is before us, and we can be a part of it.
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32.
