THE FALSE LIGHT OF DARKNESS – Ron McGatlin

The light and love of God continue to pour into the hearts of His people. An awakening of truly falling in love with God is moving across the world. God is LOVE, and God is LIGHT. (1 John 4:8, 1 John 1:5).

The increase of falling in love with God is increasing the light to see more clearly the mixture in our own hearts and the hearts of others. Mysteries are seen more clearly, and we can know by the Spirit the things of God and the things of the world.

Love is increasing our light to discern the designs of the enemy. The works of darkness are being exposed to many of God’s people.

LIGHT EXPOSING DARKNESS

In this season, many people are seeing an increase and intensification of the deception of darkness seeking to rule the minds and hearts of mankind and, subsequently the nations of the world.

The great drawing of God’s people to truly fall in love with God is filling our hearts with God’s pure whole light, enabling us to discern the darkness more clearly.

At the same time, deep levels of the false light of darkness are growing deep roots in masses of deceived people. The worldwide media-driven darkness is possibly the most cunning deception ever to be perpetrated on such large masses of people.

Multitudes of people, including many Christians, are deceived into believing that the lying scenario of deception broadcast by mass media and taught in most institutes of learning is the truth.

“And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14.

The most cunning deception is that which appears as light. Some of the most dangerous spirit beings are spirits of darkness, posing as angels of light.

Even the elect of God are in danger of being deceived. All that can be deceived will be. “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” Matthew 24:24.

This deception is not new. It is ingrained in many religious teachings from around the third century onward. Some of man’s interpretations of the Bible have clouded or hidden the truth that the love and light of God are revealing in this season.

Those in love with God can clearly discern by the Spirit, the lies of deception that are made to look like light.

THE WORD IS ALIVE ON EARTH

In His original incarnation, the Word was made flesh in Jesus and dwelt among men.

Today, the Word, Jesus, is made flesh in His many sons by Spirit Christ Jesus within us by the Holy Spirit.

The living word is Jesus made flesh in the chosen sons of God.

The “Body of Christ” is Christ Jesus, now on Earth in believers by the Holy Spirit. (John 1:1-5, 14) (John 14:20) (John 15:4, 12-13)

“And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I IN THEM AND YOU IN ME; that they may be made perfect in one….” John 17:22-23.  

CHRIST JESUS, THE WORD, IS THE LOVE AND LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12.

Christ Jesus, the Word, abides in His chosen people who also abide in Him by SPIRT GOD. Therefore, we in whom He abides are the light of the World. (John 15:5) (Matthew 5:14).

Jesus was the light of the world in His incarnate body, and now is the light of the world in His many sons. He is bringing many sons to glory. “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.

Many of the sons that Jesus is bringing to glory are not religiously educated nor licensed by a church system. It is easier for a person who is untrained by religion to receive the light of freshly revealed truth after falling in love with God. The person trained by religion must erase some erroneous beliefs to completely accept the greater revealed truth. However, once the breakthrough is made, the truth opens a flood of the pure light of love.

It is somewhat like being born-again again. All things become fresh and new in the glorious love and light of God. Spirit eyes and ears are opened to see and hear the deeper Spirit realities. The written Word of God is more alive than ever; much deeper wisdom and understanding flow from it. The words of Jesus, especially the parables, fill our hearts and heads with much deeper understanding and wisdom. (Matthew 13:13-17).

SPIRIT REALM IS FAR MORE POWERFUL THAN THE NATURAL REALM

Our natural minds tend to see the spiritual as something like a vague, misty replica of the real. In our minds, the big and powerful things are our massive military with warships, aircraft, weapons, large armies of soldiers with powerful weapons, bombs that can take out an entire city, and many more sophisticated tools of warfare.

Or we might consider a huge financial group with billions of dollars as a great power. Today, the mass media propaganda systems are wielding great power among the nations. All of these and more are indeed powerful in this world.

However, Spirit God literally created the physical world that we call natural and continues to cause creation to exist. There is no greater power and no greater wisdom in creation than the Spirit of God. By God’s spoken words, all creation is subject to change.

God made man as His mate to interact with Him at His Spirit level. By His design, love ties man and God together in perfect union to jointly rule in all areas of life on Planet Earth.

CHOOSE TO LOVE GOD

Love that is not chosen but forced is not love but tyranny or slavery. God gives us a choice to love Him or not.

Two in love produce alignment or obedience, especially in the love relationship between the greater Creator and the created mate.

The love relationship that united God and His mate, mankind, was broken in Adam. It is restored in Christ Jesus in all who believe and receive. Spirit God is bringing His willing mate back into the love covenant.

THE CREATIVE POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD – GOD IN MAN

God is revealing how this works in this season. It all begins with a word or thought from God into the heart of man.

The origin or beginning of all that man does is first a thought or idea, that may relate to a need in the world. Every great work of mankind began as a thought in the heart of a person.

Thoughts or ideas originate from the spirit realm, inspiring and influencing the heart of man. Ideas or thoughts enter our hearts and minds as a word or picture or a vision from God or from the devil and the fallen world.

Because God has given dominion to man, the world is controlled or governed by God or the enemy through the thoughts in mankind’s mind and heart.

Therefore, the spiritual realm determines the baseline of all that happens in the natural world.

Truly, God has given dominion to mankind in this world in the ability to choose what spirit or Spirit he will lean into to hear and receive from.

Natural, unredeemed mankind only has the natural animal-type instincts and spirits of darkness to affect the thoughts of His heart.  

Redeemed mankind has another choice he can focus on and depend on Spirit Christ and Father God in the Holy Spirit that brings love and light. Love and light are the POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD.

Said another way, the creative power and wisdom of Spirit God and all heaven are available to recreate or change the world.

All that is in the world that is NOT of God or from God will be taken down, and that which is of and from God will be built up as mankind in love with God receives the plan of God and obediently speaks it forth into the world.

A WORD FROM SPIRIT GOD IS A LIVING PATTERN OR SEED

A word is a living seed. A word is received in the heart of a person as a thought, picture, or vision that contains the life from God to sprout and grow into existence in the world. The whole pattern is alive in the seed. Jesus said to him, “But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” Matthew 13:23.

When spoken into the world to others, some will receive the seed word and become a part of the process.

When prayed back to God, the power of heaven is released, and if needed powerful angels, Spirit beings of light, will be sent to prepare people and things for the growing seed word to take shape into the world. People anywhere in the world may receive some part to fulfill in the growth of the change.

The heart of mankind is God’s creation center on Earth. When we are in love with God, we walk in the Spirit, all things are possible as we release the works of God from heaven on earth. God does the work; we only must believe and follow the leading of the Spirit of God.

Continue to pray the word, idea, or vision back to God and ask Him to show you the next step. Wait and watch for the next step or opportunity to appear before you. You will see the word, idea, or vision coming together and the idea or vision manifesting with your natural eyes in the world.

A relatively small number of people in accord with the same idea or vision from God can change the nation and the world through the reality of the manifested Christ Jesus in and with us.

“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20.

This one gathering of only 120 people in one accord has changed and is still changing the world. “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with ONE ACCORD in one place. ² And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting..” Acts 2:1-2.

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” John 14:12.

“Jesus said to him, ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.’” Mark 9:23.

“But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” Matthew 13:23.

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:4.

“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32.
