Part 4 – CHANGING THE WORLD

AMERICA, A BRIGHT NEW WAY OF GODS GLORY OR NO GOD AT ALL, YOUR CHOICE? – By Ron McGatlin

The all-out inconsolable divide of the age-old war for the hearts and minds of all human beings is now entering the time or season of its end.

The corrupt mindsets or belief systems of darkness that will not be rectified are inflamed against the glorious light and love of the kingdom of God that will not relent.

The mindset of the real kingdom of God on earth that will never relent is now arising on Planet Earth in direct opposition to the ruling mindset of humanistic darkness.

THE GREAT DIVIDE

The great divide in America and the world is not democrats verses republicans. It is not all about Trump or “never Trump” or black people against white people. It is not even about socialism against capitalism or communism against free enterprise. These and more are all valid issues or active fronts of the great divide. However, they are not the primary issue.

All of the battles on many fronts are about ONE PREEMINENT ISSUE. This one preeminent issue is the core foundational underlying issue of GOD OR NO GOD.

The underlying issue is now becoming manifested in tangible visible natural reality. In practical reality it is fully surfaced in America in the elections for governmental leaders. Will the nations allow God to be a major factor in governance or will God not be allowed to guide the nations? This is the preeminent issue. All the other issues emanate from this one all important issue.

More definitively the issue is which kingdom will rule on Planet Earth, THE RULE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH OR THE USURPED COUNTERFEIT KINGDOM OF DARKNESS.

The recent re-entrance of the kingdom of God reality being revealed and coming forth in the hearts and lives of people on earth is the cause of the uncovering of the darkness affecting the world. The kingdom of God coming forth on earth is a grave threat to the principality of Satan now ruling much of the world.

The kingdom of God is NOT the religions or religious church systems of the world. Revival is not the kingdom of God although it can be a step toward the real kingdom of God.

The kingdom of God is far greater than all of the kingdoms of this world. Everything in the created world terrestrial and celestial, physical and spiritual, seen and unseen, is a part of and subject to the kingdom of God.

Mankind, made in the image and likeness of God, and filled with the breath of God is given dominion over Planet Earth and all that is on it, in it, or around it. From the tiniest cell or microbe to the greatest ocean and the greatest mountains, all are the domain of the KING, the KING-domain, kingdom of God on earth, and all are given to mankind to manage, care for, and multiply according to the will and purposes of God working in and with man.

THE DEFEATED ILLEGAL PRINCIPALITY

The usurped counterfeit false principality of Satan is completely defeated and completely subject to the kingdom of God. The devil’s only hope to continue his stolen rule on earth is to continue to blind mankind to the reality of the kingdom of God authority given to mankind. When the sons and daughters of God realize the authority, strength, wisdom, and power of Spirit Christ within them by the Holy Spirit of God, the rule of Satan is finished.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED

Multitudes of mind-diluting words involving extreme and passionate emotional issues that are fabricated from magnified grievances and outright false scenarios are constantly bombarding the minds of the people. The multitude of false words of darkness cause human beings to believe the cunningly devised lies of Satan. This switches the God-set polarization of the hearts and minds of the people.

Truth becomes foolish lies, evil becomes good, darkness become light and light becomes darkness in the minds and hearts of the repolarized people of the world. Actions then are birthed from the growing belief that the light of God is darkness and that the evil darkness of Satan is light. This causes disorder, chaos, death, and destruction in the world.

Even Christian religious minds are led from light to darkness through the constant broadcast of words of darkness posing as light. False words and images repeatedly entering the hearts of the people through broadcast media and educational systems has turned light to evil darkness and evil darkness to light in the hearts and minds of multitudes.

RETURN TO THE LIGHT

The heart “soil” of human beings will grow whatever word “seed” is planted in it and believed. The words of evil darkness that are heard repeatedly especially from a respected source automatically grows in them and becomes reality or truth to the mind of the people.

Mankind does not have control over whether a seed planted will grow or not. That process is a set universal law of the creation of God.

However, man does have a choice as to what seed is planted. Our place of control is to choose what word or seed is planted. What we see and hear will become what we believe if we allow it to remain in our heart.

We do also have a secondary weapon to enact or appropriate the work of Christ Jesus to uproot the growth of growing plants of the bad seed and to heal the soil of our hearts to grow the freshly planted seed of the kingdom of God in the good soil of our hearts.

EXPLOSIONS OF LIGHT OF THE REAL KINGDOM OF GOD

Extreme and miraculous explosions of the glory of God breaking through the darkness with the pure holy love of the light of heaven’s kingdom reality must break forth now from the hearts and lives of God’s kingdom people.

Sudden love explosions in the hearts and lives of many sleeping believers must come forth now to awaken multitudes of believers to fall in love with God and blow the roof of their restrained lives with the shout of the righteousness, peace, and joy of the kingdom of light alive and well on Planet Earth.

Rock the Planet with the love explosion of the JOY of JESUS now. Turn the night into the brilliant light of the kingdom in the few hours that remain lest the midnight darkness consumes the nations.

WHERE WE CAME FROM IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS WHERE WE ARE GOING.

You may have been a great Christian and even a leader in church and revival ministry or you may have been fallen away to the depths of depravity or raised in a deceptive false religion or an elite humanistic product of the American dream intellectualism or whatever else. Wherever we came through and whatever we came through, if we follow God in Christ the KINGDOM IS WHERE WE ARE GOING. ALL OF THAT PAST CAN NOW CHANGE TO BECOME THE ONE GREATEST OF ALL LIVES ON EARTH IN THE REALITY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD NOW MANIFESTING IN THE REDEEMED HEARTS OF ALL WHO WILL HEAR AND BELIEVE THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD:  THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM THAT JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES ANNOUNCED AND DEMONSTRATED IN THE FIRST CENTURY.

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33.

2. THE COMING OF THE LORD: FACE TO FACE – By Dr, Audrey Drummonds

The Coming of the Lord: Face to Face

August 5, 2020

“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58). How did Jesus appear in the Old Testament?

  • Adam – He appeared as the “cool of the day.”

  • Abraham – He appeared as the Angel with a better sacrifice

  • Jacob – He appeared as a ladder and gate to heaven

  • Moses – He appeared as the Rock of water in the desert

  • Joshua – He appeared as the Captain of the Lord’s host

  • OT Priests – He appeared as a fire and a glory cloud

  • Samuel – He appeared as Shiloh/a place of Peace

  • Elijah – He appeared as fire from heaven

  • Elisha – He appeared as Father

  • King David – He appeared as the Ark of Covenant

  • King Solomon – He appeared as Divine Wisdom

  • Isaiah – He appeared as the Word

  • Jeremiah – He appeared as the Creator

  • Ezekiel – He appeared as the Son of Man

  • Daniel – He appeared as Visons and Dreams (Thought)

  • Hosea – He appeared as the former and latter rain

  • Joel – He appeared as the Day of the Lord

  • Amos – He appeared as the roaring Lion our of Zion

  • Obadiah – He appeared as the Day of the Lord

  • Jonah – He appeared as the Messenger

  • Micah – He appeared as the ruler of Israel

  • Habakkuk – He appeared as the burden of the vision that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord

  • Zephaniah – He appeared as a Warrior and Restorer

  • Haggai – He appeared as the Lord of Host

  • Zechariah – He appeared as the Branch Man

  • Malachi – He appeared as the Son of Righteousness with healing in His wings

Over two-thousand years ago Jesus Christ appeared once and for all before God in the Holy of Holies – the Father of Lights and Glory (James 1:17, Ephesian 1:17). Jesus Christ entered Heaven itself NOW to appear in the presence of God for us (Hebrew 9:24). This is the first “coming” of the Lord in the New Testament. He went into the Holy of Holies as the High Priest once and for all before God presenting the ultimate sacrifice of His own blood for the sins of ALL –past, present, and future for every generation.

Jesus Christ is forever – eternally present before God making intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25). He is NOT begging God to forgive our sins, but He is seated with the Father reaching out to reconcile our righteousness in LOVE – the true identity of who we are – that He paid the price for – the DNA/Word within us that God placed in our heart Before we were conceived in our mother’s womb (Eccl. 3:11). The promise of God is that HIS WORD He placed in our heart would not return void to HIM, but it would accomplish that which I please, AND it shall prosper (not destroy) in the thing whereto I sent it (Isaiah 55:11).

The Scriptures only use the word “second” and “coming/appearing” in reference to Jesus one time. It is found in Hebrew 9:28. This verse follows the “first appearing of Jesus before God in the Holy of Holies” as the high priest of the Old Testament would do on the day of Atonement – Yom Kippur. When the high priest would leave the Holy Holies and come out of the Tabernacle courts, judgment had been paid for the sins of the people for the next year. Jesus paid the price for sin for ALL eternity – age to age. This is the same pattern we find Jesus fulfilled when He met Mary at the resurrection in the garden, then He appeared again for 40 days as the resurrection before His ascension. Then He continually appeared by the quickening of the Holy Spirit as LIGHT, LIFE, and LOVE.

“Saul came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a LIGHT from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest” (Acts 9:4-5a).

The second coming found in Hebrew 9:28 is in reference to Christ appearing to each of us personally as our redeemer/Savior, and the quickening of the Holy Spirit that turns the awareness of His Presence IN that moment forever to Be with Him seated at the right hand of the Father – IN THAT MOMENT we receive the revelation of His appearing again, not as a man from Galilee that walked on the earth before the cross, but as the CHRIST reconciling HIS body made up of ALL humanity as living cells of one body and one Holy Spirit filling the earth with the unveiling of the glory of our Father’s Presence in oneness of faith.

Jesus Christ came again in the earth – my earth suit – when the Holy Spirit spoke to my spirit – a dead spirit that had no life to reproduce (Ephesians 2). I have died with Him, and today I AM already resurrected in Him as a totally new creation in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17). My natural body is a house for Christ to live in and move on the earth as the Holy Spirit, but my natural body is NOT the real me. “NOW all things are of God, who has reconciled us ALL to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:18).

Where the Holy Spirit is, there ALSO is the Father and Son as one new man (Ephesians 2:15, 4:3-6). Do you accept as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit is within you? If so, then you also have the Omnipresence, Omnipotent, and Omniscient of the Father and Son. What we have is the ALL of God within us a vessel that has the ability for the creative power of God to be released in the earth to be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it with the CREATION THOUGHT of the ALL of God (Elohim). We are the corporate body of Christ Jesus with the Omnificent – creative power of His presence to do the greater works than what Jesus unveiled before the cross.

The Scriptures tell us Jesus Christ came again after the ascension appearing to many for over sixty years later:

  • He appeared to Matthew as the King

  • He appeared to Mark as the Servant

  • He appeared to Luke as the Son of Man

  • He appeared to James as an anointed Brother

  • He appeared to John as God

  • He appeared to Peter as The Christ

  • He appeared to Paul as Christ in you – the hope (potential unveiling) of His glory coming through you.

Do you know Jesus Christ personally? How has He appeared to you?

Are you hungry to experience the many facets of the rainbow of LIGHT, LOVE, and CHRIST LIFE today?  God is the Father of Lights. Do you know your identity as a LIGHT Being in Christ Jesus? What frequency of light are you shining out to the world around you? Is your light switch on low to where you see the shadows of fear around you, or are you shining so bright in His presence that darkness does not have any place in your thoughts and words?

If the traditions of man’s concepts, wisdom, and theological understanding of the Scriptures separates and divides the “body of Christ Jesus” – all humanity, we need to take another look of what our Heavenly Father was saying. Let judgment begin within ourselves.

We cannot put NEW WINE – NEW REVELATION – our understanding of what God is doing today in old wineskins – interpretations of Scripture from the past, or else the old wineskins will bust, and all the NEW WINE will be poured out. When we do this, we are prophesying our own bodily death and crossing over. Leftovers may fill our stomach but have extraordinarily little nutritional value/anointing power to transform the body. Our earth suite will be destroyed if we try to take old teachings of yesterday that have no anointing, and try to interpret what God is speaking today for His BODY – the church as the bride/wife should be rests in intimacy with her Beloved, not wrestling with the issues of the world. Greater is HE that is in each of us, than the thoughts and voices of the world.

God’s ways are NEW every morning. If we interpret doctrines of “end-times,” “second-coming,” “caught-up,” “appearing,” “rapture,” or “falling-away,” from past theological concepts that are fear based, escapism, and destruction – we void the finish work of the cross and resurrection, we give place to the enemy of God, and we grieve the Holy Spirit within us to where the anointing power is limited to break the bondage and stronghold of what the religious spirit holds captive in the people of God’s Kingdom in the earth.

Are you looking for His coming daily or someday?

“As HE is, so are YOU TODAY in this world” (1 John 4:17).

“Let the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let the one who hears say, COME. And let the one who is thirst come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.” (Revelation 22:17).

“In the beginning – the firstfruits – God (Elohim- the plurality of God – omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, omnificent) created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God (Elohim) said, “let there be light, and there was light (you and me in spirit). And God saw that the light (identity of you and me) was good, and God separated the light from the darkness (ignorance of identity), and God called the children of light – HIS breath – “DAY” meaning Eternity Now as in “this is the Day”, and “The Day of the Lord.” Amen. (Genesis 1:1-5).

When the Holy Spirit in you is moving across the face of ignorance, darkness, fear, confusion, rejection, division, and separation – do you give place to the darkness, or do you simply stand in your position and authority as a wife of the Lord Jesus Christ and say, “LET THERE BE LIGHT!” Selah.
