STARTING OVER IN 2025 – Ron McGatlin
Our personal lives were abruptly interrupted in mid-November 2024. My wife, Barbara, had a stroke. We spent until late December in hospitals, from Intensive Care to hospital with stroke rehab and then to intensive rehab facilities. Currently, she is in a bariatric hospital bed at home with in-home nursing and therapy.
I sincerely apologize for the lack of writing and posting of the OpenHeaven.com Digest and other regular online activities, especially in this significant season of worldwide change.
Thank you for remaining with us in seeking to do our parts together in this very significant time of returning to a fresh sunrise of significant, radiant, and prosperous time of moving with the plan of God into this season of the manifest glory of God changing our world.
WE FEEL THAT WE ARE STARTING AT A NEW BEGINNING IN 2025 INTO A FRESH OUTPOURING OF THE LOVE OF GOD, PRODUCING HEAVEN ON EARTH WITHIN THE HEARTS AND LIVES OF HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE.
We would not have made it through thus far without God in us and with us, and we will not make it through the intense times to come unless the Lord goes with us.
Exodus 33:12-17, 12 Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”
14 And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
15 Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” 17 So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.”
It was through a personal love relationship with God that Moses could lead the people up from where they were. It will be only through a personal love relationship with God that our personal lives and our nation will be raised up to the fullness of the calling of God to bring forth the life of Christ in a people to establish His kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.
This is more than knowing that He loves us, died for us, and has prepared heaven for us in the afterlife. This is much more about being lifted up to Spirit life now in this life to establish heavenly life now in this world.
This calling and purpose exceeds our infirmities and personal needs or desires. We are becoming living sacrifices of love unto the most glorious life of heaven now on earth and for all eternity.
Love is calling out the weak to become strong as we become vessels emptied of self and filled with the love, power, and wisdom of God, releasing the limitless love plan of the glory of God filling the earth.
The sunshine of our lives is the glory of God poured out without limitation through Christ in His chosen people across the world. There has not been a time of the glory of God upon this earth as that which lies before us and is now coming upon us.
PRAISE GOD ALL YOU CHOSEN FOR THE DAY OF THE GLORY OF GOD IS UPON YOU, AND NOTHING IS LACKING WITHIN YOU. ARISE AND SHINE!
“Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
2 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.
3 The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising. Isaiah 60:1-3.
The last shall become the first. Selah.
