PERFECT LOVE ALLOWS TRANSPARENCY TO INTIMACY – Ron McGatlin
OVERCOMING FAILURE OF COMMUNION
Intimate love relationship with Father God in Christ Jesus is the single most important factor of life. And the next most important thing in life is the love relationship with those around us.
“Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40.
As we, the children of God, enter this season of heightened revelation, we are beginning to understand what it truly means to fall deeply in love with God, to the point of becoming one with Him.
However, many of us are still struggling to connect in a pure love relationship with those around us.
It is also becoming clearly seen that we can now, in this mortal natural life, receive immortality in our Spirit body by the resurrection life of Christ Jesus abiding in us. There is no death in our Spirit body within us.
Sickness and disease are beginning steps or stages of death that some of us sometimes yet struggle with in our natural bodies.
Healing and no sickness or disease is the real state of our being in our Spirit body of immortality.
HEALING AND DIVINE HEALTH NOW
Many spiritual and natural things are involved in the things that affect our natural body health. We make no attempt to speak of all of them here.
From my own personal observations, I am aware of a growing number of believers who have experienced healing, overcoming diseases, and walking in health. This is a testament to the power of divine health and the transformative love of God now coming forth. With God-given medical assistance applied and received with the guidance of God working in and with us by love and faith, great works of healing and health are taking place.
God can give people intelligence and inspiration to develop medicines and medical practices to aid healing and help destroy attacking germs and viruses that seek to kill and destroy life. However, there can be many abuses, misuses, and disorders in using medical resources.
One serious abuse or disorder is to not recognize that it is God who healed them and not the knowledge and intelligence of a man without God. All good gifts come from above! God is the provider of all that is good, and He sometimes uses a man to deliver his gift.
This, like many other blessings of God, can be a blessing causing life or a curse causing death depending on how it is seen and used. The misuse or abuse of a good thing from God can cause disorder, sickness, or death.
For example, we all know that food in the right balance is very good and important for our bodies. However, an improper balance of variety and quantity of food can lead to illness and death. The same thing is true with medical treatment. We must have the wisdom of God or specific directions from Him to live in divine health in our natural bodies using all that God has provided according to His wisdom or guidance.
In other words, our natural bodies must be fully subject to our Spirit body, which is the Spirit life of the resurrected Christ Jesus within us now.
Only by transparent, intimate communion of love with God in Christ can we always know and walk in God’s perfect will and plan for us in every facet of life in our bodies now on Earth.
All things work together through love by Father God’s intelligence and perfect nature. God’s wisdom is required for us to live on Earth as Spirit beings in earthly bodies.
CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN NATURAL BODY AND SPIRIT BODY
“It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.” 1 Corinthians 15:44.
God has been restoring truth in segments over the centuries. Each piece, as it becomes light in the minds and hearts of mankind, has seemed at that time like the most important part that would ever be known. Each time a major revelation of truth was uncovered by God, mankind set up a pedestal, so to speak, placed the newly revealed truth upon it, and built a religion around it.
The natural minds of the people were then divided into two schools of belief and thought; one believed the newly revealed, and the other did not believe. The ones that believed established a “denomination” around that one truth as the primary of all and would not receive the next piece when it was revealed later. They also strongly opposed those who did not believe like them as if they were not of God.
Those who did not believe the newly revealed light then developed a counter and false doctrine or teaching based on opposing the newly revealed part.
One example that I have experienced was the firm teaching in Bible school that all the miracles passed away when the last of the twelve original Apostles died. I was told that we no longer needed miracles because we had the whole written Bible.
We are probably all aware of the great chasm brought about by the return or revealing of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This separation is still, to some degree, present with us even today. However, recently, there has been much change in the revealing of being in love with God. There was much more, but you get the understanding of the separation from false doctrines.
In the last century or so, much has been revealed that has greatly changed our lives. It is also clear in this day that the pace of revelation and change is significantly increasing.
Simply said, religions derived from limited truth and the interpretations of the natural minds of men have divided and damaged all of us who have been believers for some time.
This religious disorder of separation of brothers and false doctrines are the primary causes of the lack of our inner Spirit body cleansing our natural body, for us to fully live as Sons of God in divine health now on Earth.
The separation of brethren was and is because religious doctrines became more important than being in love with God and loving our brothers as ourselves. Loving our brothers will open the way to receiving the parts of revealed truth that we have missed through separation by erroneous, unbalanced, or false teaching.
This oneness with God and one another allows the truth to appear. The extremes and imbalanced beliefs that block our Spirit body from changing our natural earthly body are washed away as truth appears.
The reality that we are beginning to see this now is by our falling in love with God and becoming one with Him. Our perfect love relationship with God creates transparency and clarity of vision that allows intimacy between us and God. God is love.
Intimately in love with God allows the wisdom of His deep things to flow into our Spirit body and renew our natural minds to the wisdom of God.
LOVE IS THE PERFECT CENTER OF ALL TRUTH – GOD IS LOVE
Coming into pure, holy love with God moves us away from the unbalanced extremes of beliefs that divided us in the past. He is moving us toward loving our neighbor as ourselves. This opens our hearts to begin to receive truth from each other and discard our unbalanced beliefs.
Love is washing away our religious extremes and bringing us toward the center, which is God. All things come together in God in perfect balance. We are becoming again as we were created, one Spirit being in a perfect earthly body without sin, sickness, or death.
APPROPRIATING THE CLEANSING WORK OF SPIRIT CHRIST JESUS
Ask God to reveal what beliefs are trained into you that keep you out of the center and into some measure of death in this life.
Perfect love casts out fear and opens the way for truth to prevail in this life now.
Forgive from your heart everyone who has ever knowingly or unknowingly hurt or harmed you. Forgive everyone who misled you into out-of-balance doctrines and practices. Let your heart be broken in praying for blessings of balance in their lives. Examine your beliefs under the lens of God’s unconditional love and allow yourself to trust God with your whole life.
Reckon yourself dead and Christ living in you. (Romans 6:11).
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 5:20.
