SPIRITUAL NATURAL COMMUNION – Ron McGatlin
The huge change taking place in this new season is the world’s transformation of redemption back to a communal spiritual/natural relationship involving Father God and mankind, and then the whole world.
Every aspect of our lives will be affected by the global impact of the return of the kingdoms of this world to the kingdom of God. From the greatest to the smallest, every facet of life in this world is experiencing transformative change.
GOD’S INTERVENTION RELEASING, ON EARTH
Christ Jesus, Son of God, as a man, defeated the devil and his false governance position over mankind and this world at the cross and resurrection.
WHY, THEN, DO WE SEE THE DEVIL RAVAGING MANKIND AND THE WORLD WITH CUNNING-DECEITFUL LIES, AND DISORDER?
I am glad that we are now openly asking this question because it is time to speak in love plainly of that which is hidden by the devil in the rhetoric of many Christian religious leaders.
Some God-seeking, devoted “men of God” who truly seek to proclaim truth have been taught from, and have even written, doctrinal commentaries without the fullness of HOLY SPIRIT and a real LOVE relationship with God. Devotion to a cause does not necessarily represent being in love with God in the Spirit.
Without the guidance of the fullness of Holy Spirit, good smart men were limited to their own human intelligence to translate from the written word of God. Even comparing scripture with scripture and exploring the different languages, without the oversight of the fullness of the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit, there is room left for the spirits of darkness to slip in.
Truth can be cunningly hidden with human reasoning and natural understandings from the men who are seeking to translate spiritual words with natural minds.
Most false teachers do not know that among the truth they teach are deadly false teachings devised from misinterpretations of the written word of God by very cunning spirits of darkness, which are called demons in the word of God. (1 Timothy 4:1) (Colossians 2:8).
These false teachings become doctrines in the church and rocks of strong belief in the hearts of believers. They become strongholds of darkness, locking us out of valuable truth of God’s supernatural provisions in this life. (Matthew 13:5-6, 20-21) (2 Corinthians 10:4).
The long-term result of this type of failure is the release of the devil to disorder the world as we see it today.
GOD IS NOW IN THIS SEASON INTERVENING AND BRINGING FORTH THE FULL REALITY OF RESTORING WHAT HAS BEEN LOST OR HIDDEN BY THE ENEMY AND RESTORING THE HEARTS OF MANKIND AND THE ORDER OF THIS WORLD!
For the first time ever in history, as far as I can find, people are falling IN LOVE with God around the world. This is more than knowing God loves us and more than seeking to serve and please God. It is more than life itself in this natural world.
Yes, it involves losing this life and entering a pure Spirit life of love with Spirit God in heavenly Spirit places far above our old natural life. In short, it is leaving this life and entering the much higher and more powerful life of walking in Spirit and becoming the life of Christ Jesus. It is walking as His body fully attached to Christ our one head. This is Christ on earth in many natural bodies as His one Spirit body.
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN AND WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
This is a work of God and not of man. Mankind cannot make this happen. However, he must be in position to receive, believe, and agree with God, and then be willing to be or do that which God is saying or doing. The position we must be in is TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH GOD.
HEAVEN AND EARTH OR SPIRIT AND NATURAL COMMUNION
There is a spiritual marriage taking place. There is a common union being formed. A faithful Bride has come to the altar before the throne to be joined in perfected love forever in the marriage with God in Christ the Lamb of God.
Marriage is the result and core of being totally in love. It is the two becoming one. In pure holy intimacy, Spirit to Spirit, we know God as we are known. There is nothing covered between us, no darkness or unknowing at all.
THE BEGINNING AND GROWTH OF COMMUNION
Moving from the blindness of fallen spiritual darkness to seeing the distant light of Spirit God begins our introduction to God. The called and chosen will feel drawn toward the light and begin to move toward it.
Seeing the distant light and taking the first step toward it is the beginning of communication toward a communion relationship. This starts a journey of many valuable experiences that we cannot address in this brief article.
However, if you have ears to hear, it is enough to know that as a design by God, this spiritual journey is replicated or paralleled in the natural experience of seeing your future mate, meeting them, courtship or dating, getting to know them, falling in love with them, engaged or betrothed, and marriage or totally in love with them and becoming one with them.
This scenario is designed as a natural communication of Spirit reality so that the natural mind can know spiritual things by parable or comparing. This is a vital principle of beginning communication between Spirit God and natural man.
Communication involves much more than spoken or written words of language and seeing. All spiritual and natural senses, including imaging or envisioning or dreaming the seen and the unseen, a sense of knowing without seeing or hearing, and for the redeemed person feeling, seeing, or hearing in the Spirit.
All creation communicates the nature of God in and by its unique design as seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or felt. All creation speaks of God, even to the natural person.
NATURAL AND SPIRITUAL COMMUNING
Natural human beings from the same nation can commune together in one language. Those of different nationalities who speak different languages are very limited and must depend on signs and facial or body expressions to communicate.
Therefore, communing in the natural is very limited and this tends to strengthen divisions and separations. Even among the same language people group natural mankind tends to divide over their differing beliefs or differences of opinion.
Spiritual people IN LOVE with God can truly love one another with the same love and commune without prejudice. Communion does not depend on mental agreement. It depends on the greater love of God that makes room for other parts of the one body of Christ.
The love of God also does not condone or tolerate evil darkness of anti-Christ spirits. But love always speaks truth. Not from self-righteousness but from the heart of God.
IN LOVE WITH GOD EXPOSES AND ENDS DECEPTION
Probably the most critical truth that has been hidden from most believers is the reality of Spirit supremacy over natural in all of creation now in this life on Earth.
We may even think that we know that Spirit God is greater than all created existence, whether seen or unseen. Yet most of us have been tricked into believing that Jesus in His physical flesh and blood body on earth can be far more effective in returning the kingdoms of Earth to Father God than Spirit Christ now on earth.
Yes, a living, breathing, flesh and blood, being is required to reestablish the kingdom of God on Earth, according to God’s dominion covenant with mankind. Spirit Christ Jesus in His Spirit body living in the natural bodies of redeemed mankind greatly exceeds Christ on earth in His one flesh and blood body.
Christ Jesus has defeated and taken back the covenant rights to the kingdoms of this world.
Mankind cannot remain connected to our past sin nature and must fully connect to the life of Christ, who has the rights and the power to possess this world.
Our old life must be crucified as Spirit Christ Jesus moves in to live on earth now in our living bodies. Our spirit being is consumed by Spirit Christ and we become Sons of God on earth in a living flesh and blood body to restore the world to as it is in heaven. This is the reality of this mortality putting on immortality and not just physical death of our body and going to heaven.
JESUS CLEANSE THE WORLD
We get to ride with Christ Jesus, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, with a multitude of saints that ride the powerful, pure white horses of the tsunami wave of the love power of God and heaven, cleansing the earth and restoring the kingdom of God on Earth as it is in heaven. Revelation 19:11-16.
THE GOVERNANCE OF THE WORLD MADE NEW
God will have the great glory of His perfect and beautiful creation. God will dwell with His family here on earth. Together God and His Bride will govern the earth with love as it is in heaven. This is the New Jerusalem. This is God’s plan and picture of Spiritual reality in parables of natural visions and images, God’s method for helping us to see the unseen.
“Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.’” Revelation 21:2-3.
“Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 21:5. Please notice that John did not say that God said, I make ALL NEW THINGS. He said, “I make all things new.”
“Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.” Revelation 21:9-10.
The bride is the ruling city of New Jerusalem, the kingdom of God’s ruling city of this world. The kingdom of God in Christ Jesus in His Body and Bride ruling in the kingdoms of this world with the love, power, and wisdom of Almighty God with us on earth as it is in heaven. Father God and Christ Jesus have completed all that is needed to do all of this now. All that is further needed is for His people to believe and to come into agreement with God’s plan and purpose.
Did you ever try hard to believe? The only way to believe involves communing with the desired reality until our mind accepts it as our reality.
COMMUNE WITH GOD IN LOVE AND HIS PLAN NOW.
The enemy wants us to continue to commune with the past erroneous or incomplete false teachings and beliefs. It is necessary that we leave those things that are behind and press into His love and that which is before us now.
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended it, but this one thing I do: forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as would be perfect, be thus minded; and if in anything you are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.” Philippians 3:13-15.
