1. THE REBIRTH OF THE GOD FAMILY – Ron McGatlin
Tears of love mingled with deep peace and the full joy of becoming one with the love of our lives.
Being in the presence of the greatest love of our life is surely the sweetest of all treasures.
God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit is now among us supping with us.
Tears of joy come from the overwhelming realization that all of our greatest desire and need to be totally loved is now fulfilled and complete in the manifest presence of God in and with us.
When we are made whole with God as one, He is made complete on earth as one with us.
The healed and whole fully joined in pure holy love with God is the completed family of God on earth and in heaven.
Family style gatherings of on-fire families of love, praise and worship, assembled in the name of Jesus, and joined by angels gathered to break bread both natural and spiritual is the core of the Body of Christ.
The family on earth is the structure of the kingdom of God patterned after the Heavenly Family of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit together with their Bride, the New Jerusalem now coming down to earth forming the Bride City, the ruling city of the kingdom of God on earth.
Heaven has come to earth as the FAMILY OF GOD FROM HEAVEN fills the earth with the glory of God through His completed family of LOVED ONES on earth. His Bride and Body of many sons and daughters of the perpetual family of God on earth is the completed Family of God.
Heaven and earth are becoming as one. The Spirit family of God is fully one with the earthly family of the people of God on earth.
The Spirit and the natural become the full clear manifestation of God revealed in the reality of Spirit/natural creation to the fullness of the GLORY of God now and forever. The kingdom of God has no end and its increase is forever. (Isaiah 9:7).
SPIRIT LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN
As Spirit lightning fills the atmosphere with the glory of the manifest presence of Christ in and with the children of God the world is being changed. (Matthew 24-27).
Love can calm the fiercest wind and the mightiest waves of the fire storms of this world. Darkness is dissolved into smoke and ashes behind the mighty sons of God, as we press onward into the life of fresh green gardens of fruitful glorious light of the peace of righteousness and the joy of glad tidings. (Joel 2) (Isaiah 61:1-4).
The good news of the gospel of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven is proclaimed and demonstrated by the sons and daughters of the living God. (Matthew 24:14).
DEATH IS PASSING AWAY ETERNAL LIFE IS HERE TO STAY.
Separation from God is death. Natural and Spirit sickness is the process of being separated from God.
There was no sickness and no death in the Garden of Eden. In heaven there is no sickness and no death. Where there is no sin there is no death.
The manifesting of Christ Jesus our Lord and King is the ending of sin and the healing of life coming to the world.
Sickness and death are part of hell on earth. Wellness and life are parts of heaven on earth.
Healing disease and destroying sin are parts of the process of heaven coming to earth in Christ Jesus our Savior, Lord and King.
Christ in us is the positive expectation of the glory of God and heaven filling the earth. (Colossians 1:26-27).
SIN IS DISSOLVED BY LOVE
The glory of God is His love.
Spirit God is love.
The fruit of love is the fruit of Spirit God.
In the Spirit of Love there is joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law because there is no sin in the fruit of love. (Galatians 5:22-25).
To be filled with the Spirit is to be full of love.
As we bear the fruit of love, we will not bear the fruit of sin. Sin is unlove or the absence of love, the absence of Spirit God.
And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16, 24-25).
THE HUMAN ANIMAL AND SPIRIT BEING
The flesh which is our natural being with animal instincts will not rule our lives if we walk in the Spirit.
Mankind in the natural is an animal that is pre-programed like all animals to seek food and water to sustain life, and to procreate through intercourse with a mate, and to fight to defend these and many other instinctive desires. Fighting, running or hiding to satisfy or protect and preserve these natural instincts is normal animal behavior.
However, unlike any other created animal, mankind is also a Spirit being. God breathed His Spirit into Adam and made Him a Son of God, a living Spirit being, in an animal body made of clay. (Genesis 2:7).
Adam lost the Spirit life nature, death entered and all mankind lost intimate oneness with God. Christ Jesus purchased us back to restore the Spirit God nature in all who will believe and receive.
Human beings without God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit have only their natural human animal instinctive good and evil, enhanced by satanic evil spirit influences, to guide their lives and govern the world. (1 Corinthians 2:14) (1 Timothy 4:1-2).
KINGDOM OF GOD NOW COMING FORTH ON EARTH
Led by the Spirit, Sons of God are being formed on earth to establish the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:14.”
Without pure holy people of God who walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh there can be no kingdom of God now on earth.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another…” Galatians 5:16-17.
“Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.” Galatians 5:20-21.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love: joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Galatians 5:22-25.
THE CURRENT WORLD CONDITION
A worshiping praising army of mature Sons filled with SPIRIT GOD, alive in the Spirit, walking only in the Spirit, and overflowing with LOVE, bearing the fruit of Spirit Love into the world. This is the “parousia” of Christ Jesus, the manifesting, appearing, coming into presence, of Spirit Christ Jesus, alive and in full power as Head of His Body on earth to establish the rule of God, the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
The demon infested deceived human beings without God and without love are fighting full out to try to kill all of the people of God, destroy all the works of Christ Jesus and steal the kingdom of God.
All people alive in this world are involved in this full out showdown on earth that returns this world to God forever. Whether you are aware or not, we are all directly involved on one side or the other. There is NO middle ground.
Choose you this day whom you will serve. Choose Spirit God, choose Love. Awaken and Arise for the GLORY of GOD is upon you. Lose your life now and find the life of Spirit God in Jesus living in you to win the war of the world with the power and wisdom of the pure LOVE of God. (Joshua 24:14-15).
The people must turn totally to God. The arising sons and daughters of the living God must move into the great exploits of demonstrating the power and glory of the love of God to the world.
Mighty miracles of love and God’s Spirit power and supernatural wisdom with knowledge beyond understanding must flow through the life of Christ in you and all of the mature sons and daughters of God.
“Do not fear, little flock, for (A)it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32.

I HEARD THE LORD SAY “IT’S NOT A FULL STOP, IT’S A LAUNCHING PAD” By Lana Vawser
“It’s not a FULL STOP, it’s a LAUNCHING PAD” and when He spoke those words I felt strongly the areas of life where in the natural it can look like a full stop”, it can look like “the end”, it can look like an “impossibility” the Lord is saying, it is NOT a full stop, by His power it is turning to a LAUNCHING PAD.
A Short Message on Church Age to Kingdom – Wade E. Taylor
We are living in the time of transition from the rule of Gentile world powers, into the Millennial Kingdom of God. These Gentile world powers are in a process of decreasing, and the Millennial Kingdom is beginning to increase. Most of the Lord’s people have their eyes set on the Gentile world governments, and are praying and seeking ways to bring correction. But instead, we should consecrate our prayers and attention on the developing government of the Kingdom of God, as the Gentile world governments are in the process of being brought to an end.
“God Is Strategically Shifting You” Melissa Pearce
In my prayer time, I heard from the Lord the phrase living in a new place. He revealed to me that the phrase has dual meaning. For some, living in a new place represents an external change to one’s lifestyle, while for others it will be an internal transformation. However, no matter the adjustment, the result is a shift in lives. For some, living in a new place will require a job change, moving to a new home, or relocating to a new state. At first, if not careful, the interpretation of the change could be construed as negative. However, God does not want you to be overwhelmed by the circumstances you’re facing. God is strategically shifting you into the new He has for you.
