1. WALK WITH GOD INTO HEAVEN ON EARTH – Ron McGatlin
WALK WITH GOD INTO HEAVEN ON EARTH – Ron McGatlin
FAR BEYOND NATURAL UNDERSTANDING INTO SPIRIT REALITY
A vast space is opening deep within the innermost being of some of God’s chosen people to make room for the supernatural Spirit substance of God Almighty and King Jesus.
Some may not know why they are feeling empty inside. The things that once filled them with excitement or a sense of accomplishment are not as gratifying as they once were. Church or social events may no longer seem exciting or fulfilling.
Activities that were once exciting such as fishing trips or business accomplishments like landing that big fish or that great account may not do for us what they once did. Attending the big game or the boisterous game day party is not as much fun anymore. It may seem that sometimes things are just not worth the trouble it takes to do them.
This may be God working in us emptying us of other things and making room for a far greater life than we have not fully known before.
THERE MUST BE MORE
The much greater life is the reality of the supernatural Spirit presence of God and Christ in us empowering and guiding us to be a vital part of transforming this world to the kingdom of God on earth.
Even the best parts of natural life pale in comparison to the marvelous supernatural works of God in and through our lives.
Yes, there may be extreme events taking place and full-out wars around us causing there to be no natural way to get through to do the work of God at hand. However, the supernatural Spirit reality of God will prevail and enable us to bring forth the victory that God desires.
Walk with God to destroy the darkness and bring forth the light of the glory of God. Walking with God in supernatural love, wisdom, and power with the armies of heaven working with us is changing this world.
THE FULFILLMENT OF THE CLOUD OF WITNESSES NOW
All that the people of God have done and endured to get to this time will be made complete in the reality of the victory of Christ Jesus in delivering the kingdoms of this world to the kingdom of our God.
Only believe and hear the word of the prophets from the Spirit of Jesus and walk with God into heaven on earth in the most exciting time of life since the first century.
GREAT SHUTDOWN PRECEDES A GREAT AWAKENING
Darkness is the deepest just before the dawn begins. Death always precedes resurrection. There must come an end of the old as the new begins. As the kingdom of darkness is reigning at its fullest the kingdom of light is beginning to arise bringing the light of the new day of God’s Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. (Isaiah 60:1-3).
The ending of the past is the beginning of the future. Today, this season of history is the end and the beginning.
Natural man resists the passing of the known status quo. Often extreme measures of force are required to end that which has been in order to bring forth a new and greater reality.
The extreme apocalyptic cataclysmic events coming upon the tribes and nations of the world are a part of a shutdown of life as it has been in this world.
This great darkness precedes the full manifestation of Father God and Christ Jesus ruling and reigning in the hearts of mankind around the world. Thereby establishing the perfect governance of God and heaven that has come together with earth to become one.
There will be no distance between heaven and earth as the “New Jerusalem” governance from heaven becomes one with this world.
The second heaven rule of Satan that has been between heaven and earth is being dissolved by the roaring fire of God and will no longer hinder the reality of heaven being fully joined to earth. (2 Peter:3.13.)
Perfect heavenly love, wisdom, and power will prevail in the new world established upon the ashes of the old world of strife and mixture. (Isaiah 61:1-3).
CHURCH AGE BECOMING THE KINGDOM AGE
In the past, it was necessary for the church to become separated from the world for two major reasons. First, so that a kingdom people could be developed without the influence of the fallen world of darkness. Secondly, so that the fallen evil world could mature into even deeper evil darkness. Thus, making a very clear distinction between the light and the darkness.
The ”Ekklesia” of Jesus (the called-out gathering of the people of God to lead and govern the city) is not the passing religious systems. The past church or religious systems were separated from the governance of the nations.
The kingdom of God governance on earth is the same rule that exists in heaven. It is, if you can hear it, the same governance that rules in heaven ruling on earth. (Matthew 6:10).
In the kingdom age, there is one Family of God that rules in heaven and on earth.
The God Family is the government of heaven and earth. It is God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in heaven and on earth, married to the Bride/Wife mother of us all, the heavenly New Jerusalem on earth and in heaven. God is all and is in all. All visible creation and all unseen spirit creation comes from and exist by the one true God, the Father of ALL. (Revelation 21) (Galatians 4:26).
This world is incomplete without the living conscious awareness of God and heaven ruling and reigning in all things natural or supernatural or spiritual on earth or in heaven.
Creation separated from God will not continue to exist. Death, dissolution, or dissolving is the result of the absence of God.
In the presence of God, the glory of man without God is subject to untimely death unless there is quick repentance. The presence of God that brings life to the believer brings an end to the work of man without God.
THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE TREE OF LIFE
There are two trees in the garden of life on earth. Partaking of one is life and partaking of the other is death. We by nature are bound to partake of the tree of knowledge that leads to death due to the fall of mankind in Adam.
The tree of knowledge of good and evil is the tree of man without God. Even the good of man without God is of darkness. It is an attempt by man to become as God and determine good and evil apart from God. There is no real good apart from God. Jesus said that there is ONE THAT IS GOOD and that is God. (Luke 18:19).
Humanism is a form of idolatry in which man and his intellect from the tree of knowledge makes himself to be his god. Idolatry is making something to be your god. Humanism is Man’s attempt to become his own god and therefore have no need of the true God.
Apart from God, mankind’s good and evil works are both works of idolatry that lead to death. Unredeemed man’s good works are from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and are not from God and the tree of life. Therefore, they are never pure but contain some form of self-gratification. Thus, they are not truly good but are from evil or self-intent of some sort, such as manipulation, extortion, or self-elevation.
The tree of life is the reality of God in and with man as one in heaven and on earth. It is the abiding as one in and with God as the branch joined to the vine of Jesus bearing the fruit of heaven on earth and in heaven. Without God man can do nothing of true value.
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:4-5.
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33.

CLOTHED IN HIS GLORY – Terry Thompson
The New Testament church was birthed on the day of Pentecost in the capital city of Israel. The name of that city is called Jerusalem which means City of peace. The place where the disciples gathered that day was not in a giant stadium, or in an ornate Temple. It was in an upper room. The atmosphere was not charged with mountain-moving faith but rather fear. They had locked the doors, but then all of the sudden the room was filled with a sound! What was that sound?
“The House That God Is Building” Chris Reed
The house God is building today is a temple not made with human hands, but a collection of living stones. Yet today, we see the Church collectively drowning in a flood of human ideas, programs and new initiatives to help build God’s house. Not to diminish anything that God has done elsewhere or in the past, but over the years, many well-meaning people have borrowed ‘bricks’ from Toronto, Brownsville, the Voice of Healing, the Latter Rain, the Pentecostal movement and various other movements trying to build God a house. But what worked in one place does not work everywhere, and what God did in the past may not be the new thing God is doing today. Moves of God cannot be manufactured. They come by prophetic revelation, by catching a vision for what God is doing and by partnering with the purposes of Heaven.
“A Sign for His Bride! The Early Bird Awakens the Dawn” Mandy Woodhouse
Recently, I was awakened just before the sun came up by what I would normally deem a wonderful sound; a little kookaburra was sitting on our window, laughing – laughing, yet at the most inconvenient time. This little bird started laughing at around 4 AM, and as I have been pretty exhausted these past several months, I was not particularly thrilled. I am currently in a season of intense pressing, heart transition and realignment, as are many in the Body of Christ. The last thing that I wanted was to be awakened at the break of dawn by laughter, even by my favorite bird; but I knew that the Lord wanted to speak through this little Aussie kookaburra.
