THE RELEASE OF POWER IN REST – Ron McGatlin
Christians, by nature, generally seek to do good things for the people of the world. Within seeking to help people with the many need issues in this world there is a temptation to get involved in the conflicts between individuals and groups.
When we become involved from one side or the other, we become part of the fray. This can limit our ability to see the whole matter and the deeper needs involved. In other words, we have become part of the problem and are less able to help with the deeper issues involved. (Galatians 6:1).
God is calling out a people to arise and become firmly seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places at the throne of Father God. From this perspective, the issues between the people of the world can be fully seen, and the real core of the conflicts can be addressed and overcome.
Ephesians 2:6, “And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
Ephesians 1:20, “Which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places.”
The wisdom in the love of God opens the way and provides the power to speak to the real issues in love and dissolve the conflict in these situations on Earth.
Resting in God provides solutions with ease that we cannot accomplish with human strength and knowledge.
SPIRITUAL POWER IN A NATURAL WORLD
The natural fallen world functions in an opposite way to the Spirit world.
When the fallen world system says fight, the Spirit says rest in God.
When the fallen world system says, rest or relax and be entertained, “we will take care of you,” then it is time to fight with the love, strength, and provisions of the Spirit God.
There are no detailed rules that apply in every situation. We always need to be tuned to God to receive instant guidance. Yes, there are definite and specific principles and laws to guide and protect us.
Seemingly one principle or law may be contrary to another at times. However, with the wisdom and insight from the throne of God, every mystery can be made clear in the wise timing of God. Some mysteries are now being revealed to God’s chosen people who are in a real love relationship with Him.
“However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written:
‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2:6-11).
THE REAL “NEW WORLD ORDER” THE KINGDOM OF GOD
There is, in this time, a new culture of God’s people set apart from the world that is passing away. Their purpose is to begin forming the real “new world order,” the rule of God on earth. The ingredients of the kingdom of God are being formed within them.
Great efforts by the devil and the darkness are now happening and increasing to stop the new kingdom generation from forming the seed foundation of the rule of God on Earth. Every evil way to kill the entire population of the kingdom people is and will be deployed. Abortion is only one example of this massive effort.
“God did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; 7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— 9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, 10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority.” 2 Peter 2:5-10.
God will provide supernatural ways for the sustenance and protection of His chosen kingdom people and their kingdom offspring through the extreme attempt of darkness to stop the plan and purposes of God.
GOD’S PROVISION THROUGH HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE
Some chosen people of God have been and are now being blessed with great resources to provide the “Goshen” type refuge communities to provide for His chosen kingdom seed people to survive to replant the world after the catastrophic cleansing of evil darkness.
Like Joseph, in Genesis 45 and 46, had become a great leader by the hand of God to provide provision for Israel and his seed to be sustained in the land of Goshen during a time of extreme famine.
Holy Spirit has and will inspire redeemed and renewed minds of kingdom people to gather and prepare facilities for sustaining life in the time of great darkness in the land. “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.” Matthew 24:21-22.
ALL THINGS MADE NEW AGAIN
The heavens around the earth and the world shall spring up new in the world without evil. New Jerusalem, the ruling Bride city of holiness will flourish in righteousness, peace, and joy on Earth as in Heaven. The old Harlot ruling city of Babylon has no place in the new world. (Revelation Chapters 18 and 21).
“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 21:3.
God in Christ Jesus abides with us to rule in this world with love in perfect peace. The glory of God shall fill the earth with rejoicing. Praise unto God shall fill the land of the living in perfect love communion with God.
God will have His eternal family to gloriously display His love and glory to all creation.
God’s love never fails and
His kingdom never ends.
