MYSTERY OF THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB – Ron McGatlin
As I seek to put into words the astonishing Spiritual atmosphere of the Spirit reality of God in Christ Jesus now here with me, I am overwhelmed with the magnitude of the workings of God now in this season of fulfillment of all things.
It is not possible to overstate the reality of the magnitude of the season of massive change now in this world. The season of fulfillment of the biblical word of God has now begun and will progress rapidly as the people of God continue to truly believe.
There are no descriptive words big enough or strong enough to describe the overwhelming explosion of the presence of God opening our hearts eyes and ears to heaven’s reality.
The trickle and stream of pure revelation of the word of God in the past has now become a flood of revelation of mysteries in the manifested presence of God.
Father God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit as one in a Spirit presence have moved in with me like a mass of living atmosphere that suddenly brings truth and opens multitudes of mysteries to my understanding.
Everything I thought I knew is now viewed through the pure holy eyes of the love and light of God and is far greater and sometimes different from my past view.
I know that I am not the only one experiencing this cloud of supernatural manifest presence of God bringing astonishing revelation of the reality of heaven now come to earth bringing forth the mature sons of God to the marriage of the Lamb.
It is as if we are seeing with His eyes, hearing with His ears, and understanding with the mind of Christ Jesus and Father God.
We are seeing as face to face, and knowing as we are known. No longer as through a glass darkly and here a little and there a little.
Our highest and greatest reverence, respect, and awe give us a fresh understanding of the fear of God! Only the thick rich atmosphere of love allows us to exist in this closeness with the One True God that is all-power, all-knowing, and all-wise and is God of all creation.
THE BIG SEASON OF HISTORY (HIS-STORY)
Remember that God’s natural order of creation is always a picture of His heavenly life order of spiritual reality. This fully applies to personal natural life and the world’s historical life. We can understand Spirit things by comparing natural things.
For all mankind that is born of woman life began when we comparatively won the lottery of being the first sperm to contact the egg. In that flash life of you or I came into being in our mother.
The next great event is being born into the world outside the womb as a breathing human being. Other big events include things like educational graduations first romances and steps of independence like first jobs etc. However, probably one of the biggest events of natural life is meeting the one special person for whom we passionately will forsake all others to become one in marriage.
Yes, Marriage is one of the most important events of our natural lives and is well worth the process we go through to get there.
This is God’s prescribed plan of natural and Spirit life. There are two kinds of people in the world, those who will follow God’s plan and those who will not. There will be very different life results in the two.
Individually as a person and corporately as a nation or the world will go through a process.
THE SEASON OF TIME IS NOW WITH US IN THIS WORLD FOR THIS NATION AND THIS WORLD TO BE MARRIED TO GOD IN CHRIST JESUS. THIS IS THE SEASON FOR THE NATIONS AND THE WORLD TO EXPERIENCE THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB!
THE PROCESS
The proposal of marriage to Jesus, the Lamb of God, is meant for all mankind. Many are called but few are chosen. Only those who WILL are chosen.
The processing has come in many parts or pieces. Beginning with salvation or receiving God’s work in Christ Jesus. That is the birth of a baby in this process.
Steps of being filled with the Spirit or beginning to surrender our self-will to the guidance of the presence of Spirit God within, and much cleansing and repentance in coming to know and commune with God Spirit to Spirit are parts of the growing up process.
Experiencing the powerful manifestations of healing, deliverance, prosperity, and many other miraculous manifested works of God were further parts of the process.
Surviving through wars and great tragedies, the influence of affluence, and much more, are all steps or parts of the process of many generations that have brought us to this point.
CHRIST JESUS THE MOLD
A mold is used to form a soft or liquid material into a specific shape for a purpose. Hard metal must be brought to extreme heat until it becomes liquid to pour into the mold and conform to its shape as it cools and hardens.
In contrast to that, I remember as a child my mother skimmed the fresh soft butter from the churn and put it into a wooden butter mold. As it chilled it became a cube of solid butter.
The process that the people of the world have endured is to melt us into liquid so that we can be poured into the mold of Christ Jesus and become mature sons of God.
GOD IS MELTING US INTO HIS LOVE.
At this point and time, the remnant of God’s chosen has been made as a liquid or as soft as warm butter to be easily conformed in the mold of Christ Jesus totally in love and one with God. Willing only to do and be all that God is being and doing in every situation of life in this world.
No longer living as a child of God fighting against being molded by the world but being consumed in love with God and molded as Jesus.
THE SEASON OF WORLD LOVE CONSUMMATION
We individually have come through the process and the world has through the generations come through the same process.
Just as we, in our early life, could not see the fullness of where we are now, the world including Christianity and other religions in the past have not seen these realities and thereby came up with many other interpretations and teachings that all miss the mark.
Mostly all religions came up with ways for mankind to try harder or sacrifice more to please the one true God or their gods of their own making.
In this season, God is proposing the perfect way for His chosen to become His true Bride in a love relationship brought to its full consummation and completion.
This has always been the way and written in the Bible but now is becoming alive and visible to a broad remnant of God’s chosen people.
All the commitment and trying to pray enough, give enough, read the Bible enough, love and serve God and his people enough, study the bible enough, or believe enough can never make us the true Bride of Christ.
Only by falling in love with God can we have the will and power to forsake all others to be married to the ONE, like the young man and woman in natural romantic love. Love drives us to abandon all others and become one with God forever.
“‘Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, ‘Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ And he said to me, ‘These are the true sayings of God.’” Revelation 19:7-9.
Pursue Love,
Ron McGatlin
