THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH – Ron McGatlin
Human strength will not stand in the events of this historical transformational season of this world.
The natural strength of well-being from the pride of life without God is not sustainable amid the dissolution of all that is not of God.
THE GREAT RESCUE
Only in the Lord and He in us is the strength to survive and be delivered above the death and destruction of all things that are not of God.
The reality of the coming or manifesting of Christ Jesus will separate us from the dissolving of all that evil has built in us and among us. We are taken away with Him above the fray of the dissolving of evil.
There are different views about what this rescue will look like. Whatever it looks like, it is certain that the Lord Jesus is with us and we are with Him safe and secure above the events of the destruction of all that lifts itself against God. The pride and loftiness of man are dissolved and the glory of the love and power of God are manifested into this world.
THE JOY OF THE LORD
The joy of the Lord is not in the destruction but in the resulting pure holy love relationship with His glorified Bride and the restoration of the world to His glorified kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
Just as the joy of the Lord was not in the cross but in the resurrection. Yet there could not be resurrection life without the cross. Resurrected life can only come after there has been a death. The resurrected life of Christ fills us as we take up our cross and our old man of sin dies.
It appears to many in this season that we are in the latter stages of Christ Jesus in us by the Holy Spirit preparing His Bride. New Garden groups are starting to form in pure holy love to become seed pockets to replenish the world with God’s Garden of Eden-style life on earth.
The full redemption of Christ is coming forth and will take His people to the next level of restored life to become fully mature manifested sons of God.
Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising. Isaiah 60:1-3.
