LIVING IN THIS NOW AGE – Ron McGatlin

On a very personal level and considering the reality of the manifest presence of Spirit God now in us and with us, “How shall we now live?”

Life on earth in God comes to us when we are in love with Him, and we no longer need to seek after it. Life comes to us in segments or parts from Spirit God.

The first segment is each day as they come.

There is always a moment-by-moment of knowing and following God that is called “walking in the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:16, 25).

However, upon awakening each morning in an instant a plan of God from Spirit God within us comes forth into our minds.

Stay in tune or in touch with Spirit God within you all day as you move about doing that which has been given to you for this day. Always be thanking God for each part as it is in process and always mindful of His potential detailed guidance and assistance.

You will be led by the Spirit of God in your spirit to discern things that present themselves to you during the day.

The first question to ask God about any significant thing that remains before you is, “GOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO KNOW ABOUT THIS?” Spirit God will reveal things you could not naturally know about the situation, the person or persons, and the plan or proposal. The second question, after you have that which God wants you to know about it is, “GOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT THIS?” It is best that we first ask what God wants us to know before asking what He wants us to do.

Hearing God by the Spirit can guide us without our trying to figure out what to do from our own minds and limited experience or knowledge.

OUR LIFETIME – THE GREATER SEGMENT

The greater segment is God’s purpose or mission of our lifetime on earth as it relates to His purpose for all mankind, Planet Earth, heaven, and the world around us.

Spirit God uses the written word along with His spoken words, visions, dreams, and all His natural creation to make Himself known to all mankind.

God is love. He passionately loves mankind, this created world, and all that He has created on it or in it. To know God is to fall in love with Him and to literally become one with God in love with Him. Becoming one with Him is a reality of Holy Matrimony. (Ephesians 5:30-32).

The person in love and joined as one with God, can truly know the plans and purposes of God for his or her life and for the world.

Within the deep love relationship with God, we can fully know who we really are and why we are here on earth. We can know how we fit into God’s overall purpose and plan for the world.

ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE – THE GREATEST SEGMENT

God’s design for love between a man and a woman, including romance and marriage, is a living picture of God’s love relationship with created mankind.

God was complete and did not have a mate. He made man in His own image and likeness. Adam, like God, also did not have a mate. God took a rib from Adam and made Eve for Adam’s mate. Just as He had taken part of Himself and some dust of the earth and made Adam as His obedient son on earth in love with Him.

Love can only be by choice and cannot be by force or demand. A forced relationship is bondage or slavery. There absolutely must be free choice for the expression of love to exist.

God is love and the only source of true love on earth.

After Adam fell, Christ Jesus through love chose to come to earth as a son of man and by love became the ultimate pure love sacrifice to redeem mankind and restore this fallen world.

For over 2000 years the passionate love of God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit has been working to bring forth many mature sons of God, in which the fullness of Christ dwells to complete the manifestation of the fullness of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

The passionate fire of the love relationship of God and His people exceeds that of a natural bride adorned and prepared for marriage. Truly the bride of Christ is formed as a remnant and is now entering our marriage celebration with the Lamb of God.

THE ARRIVED TIME IS NOW

The patriarchs and prophets of old along with the great Apostles of the Lamb of the first century were all aware that they HAD NOT YET ARRIVED.

Paul as an example, endured great hardships of things like beatings, imprisonments, ship wreck, a deadly snake bite, and much more. He wrote a large portion of the New Testament, did many supernatural miracles, and preached the gospel to multitudes. Yet, Paul wrote, “Yet, my brothers, I do not consider myself to have “arrived”, spiritually, nor do I consider myself already perfect.” Philippians 3:12 PNT.

“Still others had trial of mocking and scourging, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.” Hebrews 13:36-40.

THE REMNANT BRIDE’S ARRIVAL

The exploding remnant Bride coming down from heaven is now arriving on earth in a great cloud of witnesses.

The process of the greatest shaking and transformative cleansing of Planet Earth of all time is now before us. (Hebrews 12) (Revelation 21).

INSANE DARKNESS

The powers of darkness have gone into full-out madness on the blood of millions of martyrs, the slaughter of the innocent. The wild insanity of all evil darkness from every biblical expression of Satan, Anti-Christ, the fiery red dragon, the mother of harlots, the abomination of desolation, and every filthy evil demon of darkness is manifesting in a frenzy of tortuous insanity of total deception on earth.

All evil is manifested and gathered for its elimination from this world by the omnipotent power of the LOVE of God released into the “Bride-Army” of the “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”

The bride-people in love with God dressed in white riding upon the supernatural white horses of Spirit God led by King Jesus release the cleansing fire of the sword of Almighty God. (Revelation 19).

MARRIAGE COMPLETION OF GOD AND MAN

God is incomplete on earth without His Bride. The marriage of the Lamb is the result of falling in love with God. God is completed on earth in the love and marriage to His Bride on earth.

Mankind as the Bride is incomplete without becoming one with God through love and marriage.

God becoming one with His Bride on earth is the NOW AGE of the reality of God in Christ becoming ONE on earth with mankind.

In this union of God and man there is no longer a gap or divide between man and God. We are fully rejoined as true sons of God, full brothers with Christ Jesus, the begotten of God and So shall we ever be with the LORD.

In this now age we are arriving and will no longer say, “I have not yet arrived.” We are complete in Jesus and He in us.

THE FAILURE OF NATURAL REALM MARRIAGE

In the natural realm, man is incomplete without a mate. The husband and wife become one. She is that part of her husband that was removed from him to make her. To be complete the husband must be joined to his wife with the missing part of himself. (Matthew 19:4-6).

The wife is incomplete without becoming the bride of her husband. He is the part of her that she does not have.

The two people are not alike. They are different parts that belong together to become one with each supplying the missing part that the other needs.

THE BIG MISTAKE

A devastating division and disorder occurs when each tries to make the other to be like themselves.

The goal of marriage is not to become the same. They become vital parts of the one flesh as each part supplies to the other their different lacking part. Truly the two become one complete person.

When they each try to change the other, COMPLETION is lost and COMPETITION takes over and leads to death or divorce.

In this now age, falling in love with God is enabling us to become ONE in love to complete one another in true Holy Matrimony with God and with our spouse.

In this time of the end of the passing age, most of the world is in desperate competition with God.

In this beginning of the now age of “in love with God,” the remnant is arising with the irresistible power and wisdom of Almighty God to redeem or remove all that are in competition against God.

PERSONAL

At 90 years old, I am glad to find space to repent for my lack and failure of celebrating the different part of my wife. Subconsciously, I have, due to lack of wisdom, sought to try to cause her to be more like me. When all along I desperately needed her part to supply that which I do not have in me. This truly is a new season of a now age with extreme love, wisdom, and power.

Keep on pursuing love,
Love never fails,
And His kingdom never ends.
