THE REAL BATTLE FOR FREEDOM – Ron McGatlin

The Western world, including America, appears to be losing the war for freedom. Almost daily, there are reports of governmental rules wiping out another area of freedom, increasing and intensifying controls upon our lives.

The federal government seems to be increasingly oppressive to the truly productive and righteous quality citizens who built and preserved America as one nation under God.

The once mighty Western nations are being molded into a people of weak-willed, dependent people who lean on a system instead of standing on their own feet and willingly helping the sick and afflicted of the world to prosper on their own.

THE CURRENT POLITICAL WAR

The current political war effort is desperately battling to limit and stop the oppressive freedom-killing regimes from destroying the fabric and changing the course of Western nations. This is a noble and valiant effort to serve as a roadblock to cause a stop and turnaround situation.

However, it is not the real battle that must be won. Even a victory in the stop and turnaround battle cannot be sustained unless the far greater battle for the hearts and minds of the people is won.

The hearts of the people must be made fully alive, filled with the excitement and vibrancy of the dynamic energy flowing with wisdom and power of love from Spirit God.

A president, congress, or a well-fortified army never made a nation great and cannot make America or any nation great.

IT IS GOD THAT CAN MAKE A NATION GREAT!

God made America a great nation, and God can make America greater than ever before.

Leaving God instead of growing with Him caused America to weaken and be vulnerable to serious deception and potential destruction.

THE CUNNING, DECEITFUL PLOT TO CONQUER AMERICA

As a young man, not long after World War 2, I heard a major foreign national leader say at some major conference, “We will take over America without firing a shot!” This statement seemed absolutely absurd to me at that time. And now, around seventy years later, the process is clearly visible in its final stages of becoming the reality of this day.  

After the United States of America had a major role in defeating the evil plots to take over the free world in two World Wars, it became apparent that the God of America could not be defeated and America could not be conquered with arms and armies. Therefore, the enemy reasoned, America MUST BE SEPARATED FROM THEIR GOD before we can take them over.

Americans, generally, had become so aligned with God in the church that it was impossible to move them away from worship and honor of God. God had become so closely tied to the people through church gatherings that it was not possible to take the church and Christian religion away from the people.

No problem, the enemy decided to separate the church from the practical reality of education and all governing or practical life in the world. Thus, removing the influence and power of God from the national governance and the next generation of leaders. At the same time, infiltrate the church with good social and recreational activities apart from deep biblical training and spiritual experience.

Then moderate the teaching materials toward good benevolent practices to meet natural needs and away from deep spiritual experience.

Then add in entertainment and competitive sports activities and whatever moves the people into natural life without the deep Spirit reality of the empowerment and wisdom of love filling business, governance, family, and every facet of life.

Then weaken the family by promoting alternate lifestyles apart from the godly biblical patterns. Confuse the biblical roles of God, husband & father, wife & mother, and children and two-parent homes under God.

In the emptiness of life without the reality of intimate relationships and honoring God, hearts and minds are powerless against the vilest and darkest evil works that all lead to death and lack of victorious life in the world.

These and many other schemes are all designed to separate the people of America and the Western nations from their God and weaken their courage and passion for bringing forth the way of God, the kingdom of God on earth.

THE ARISING OF THE TRUE SONS OF GOD

 ^“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

God so loves the world that He gave His only begotten Son to arise in many sons to redeem the WORLD. The resurrection life of Christ Jesus is arising in His chosen people, taking them from mortality into immortality as Sons of God into this natural world with supernatural life to complete the restoration of this world to oneness with God and heaven.

“For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” Hebrews 2:10.

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Romans 8:14.

“But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” Romans 8:9.

THE MANIFESTATION OF CHRIST JESUS

The manifestation of Christ Jesus on earth is His true body to fulfill the promises and works of God on earth, becoming one with heaven. This is Christ in us, the fulfillment of the hope of Glory.

“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:27.

“Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17.

The day of judgment is not fearful to us in whom Christ Jesus abides. Indeed, God’s righteous judgment is a great blessing of fulfillment and reward to those in whom Christ Jesus lives.

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. Isaiah 60:1-2.

In Christ, we have a part in the new creation of this world as it is in heaven. Christ the King and His kingdom are within us to be established in this world in this season. (Matthew 6:10).

ELEVATION OF RESURRECTION

Arise in the resurrection life of Spirit Christ as a son of God set free from the bondage of oppression into the marvelous light of the glory of the living Christ as one with Father God in our midst.

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2:9.

Rejoice and be glad in our day of arising from the past into the joy-filled presence of peace on earth as it is in heaven.

In the pristine presence of God with purified holy hearts breakthrough to elevation above all natural into the Spirit realm of heaven on earth. We are enraptured in God, untouched by death and darkness, filled with the light of His glory, loving and praising God now on earth.

Lay down your burden of sadness, death, destruction, and disease at the altar of God. In the elevated life with God, all things are possible, and there are no needs.

SET YOUR AFFECTION

Set your affection on things above. (Colossians 3:1-4).

Rejoice in the Lord always. The Lord is at hand. (Philippians 4:4-7).

He is manifesting in and with us to be seen and admired in His good works and His angels working with Him.

Jesus is now being revealed in His saints, the true sons of God on earth.

It is righteous judgment for God to recompense great tribulation on those who have denied Jesus and have severely persecuted His people and are yet killing and vilely troubling the children of God.

SCRIPTURE IS BEING FULFILLED IN THIS DAY

1Thesolanians 1:4-10: “So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure:

5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:

6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

10 When He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe.

It is Christ Jesus manifesting now in His chosen people on earth. These are truly the body of Christ Jesus Lord and King, the one head of His Body on Earth. Each son or daughter has their appointed part in the function of the whole Body. (Romans 12:4-8).

Thus, the Spirit God of all creation in Christ Jesus is manifested in a physical naturalized visible form to show forth His glory to all creation from His chosen glorious Planet Earth in the physical manifestation of Heaven.

In our time of life, this greatest mystery is now being revealed in the joint heirs of Christ, the mature sons of God.

HUMBLED BEYOND MEASURE

Personally, this is the end of me, the wrecking of any and all of my self-esteem all pride is annihilated. “I am a man of unclean lips among a people of uncleanness.” There is nothing of me worthy of speaking God’s mysteries into this world.

BUT GOD!

I am today crucified in His presence and no longer live. It is God in Christ that can boldly speak His truth of hidden mysteries of God now revealed. His holy angels are with me and His life within me and no evil can stop the word of Almighty God from entering into this world.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
