CHANGE WHAT WE THINK AND CHANGE THE WORLD – Ron McGatlin
The fate or well-being of the world is forever tied to the heart and mind of mankind.
Take a deep look at the world’s situations and you can know what is in the minds of the masses. The world situations begin in the hearts and minds of mankind. Collectively changing the hearts and minds of the people changes the world’s situations, whether for better or worse.
The world’s people are confused by conflicting worldviews and mindsets of opposing political and religious power groups seeking to rule the nations and the world.
Nations, cities, and families are deeply divided by the words and thoughts of twisted, inflamed rhetoric inspired by demonic powers in fallen mankind without God.
WHERE IS GOD IN THIS?
God is not on either side of this current World War of “left” and “right” to control the thoughts and minds of mankind and thereby rule the world. The “left” is headed up by godless Humanism under many labels. A religious mixture of Christianity, Judaism, and Humanism heads up the “right”.
God and His called-out people (Ekklesia) are in a higher place above the destructive wars that are taking place to destroy evil darkness.
Above the fray of evil destroying evil, God is bringing forth the beautiful, pure, and glorious kingdom of love on earth as it is in heaven.
The mixture of the Judeo-Christian humanistic church system will be cleansed or destroyed along with the godless humanistic forces and the false Eastern religions that are now being used by the godless humanistic forces to take over governments.
WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON WITH WORLD RELIGIONS
Religion is made up of what people believe. Truth to a person is that which they have experienced or seen and heard, shaped by the nature of the spirit within the person speaking and hearing.
The Western Christian world allowed darkness to invade higher education and to instill godless humanism in the minds of future leaders of the culture. I am not sure exactly when this began, but I became fully aware of it in the early 1950s.
The highest educational systems of the land were invaded with darkness posing as light, those who were to teach the next generations were indoctrinated with darkness, and their minds began to be changed from Christianity to ungodly humanism or, at best, a mixture of the two.
When the darkness in the data or content being taught was passed on it grew darker in each generation.
In a natural person, darkness or demonic spirit intervention distorts or amplifies the incoming data and alters the meaning received in the mind and heart. Thus, the darkness in the data passed on will progressively grow darker in the next person or generation.
In the Western culture, darkness increased through the generations, and most educated leaders in media, education, and all major positions that train and form the minds of the population were turned against God and rejected Christ Jesus as the Lord of their lives.
This darkness has continued to increase and has now become the norm for much of Western culture.
The Christian religion is also not free of the effects of the attack of darkness. The religious church systems, in general, failed to grow to a higher place in Spirit love with God that could have resisted the degrading of the nation.
To varying degrees, churches have also adjusted to the degraded culture.
THE END OF RELIGION
Religion in general, is man’s attempt to reach God by his own efforts and knowledge. Knowing about God and even honoring Him in parts of our lives is not the same as being in love with God and becoming one with Him.
The invasion of darkness is degrading and turning religious debates into deadly wars. Genocide is already spreading in parts of the world and will increase.
Some major world religions will destroy one another, believing they are doing the will of their god. Others will simply dry up as people fall in love with God and walk away from religion.
Religion will not survive in the fullness of the kingdom of God.
MOVING FROM RELIGION TO RELATIONSHIP
People in love with God will discern the darkness by the light within them, refuse the darkness, and replace it with the light of truth.
Christ Jesus is the truth that sets the world free from all darkness with the light of the love of God. (John 14:6, 1:14, 8:32).
Spirit Christ Jesus filling and overwhelming our spirit with God’s pure love removes the darkness from us and frees us to be in this world as Christ. All fear is cast out in our relationship of pure love with God.
“…If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 17 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. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:12-18.
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 4:9-11.
THE KINGDOM OF LOVE AND GLORY ON EARTH
The world, with all its systems, is perfectly designed by God. It is self-sustaining, with the perfect design of checks and balances that keep everything in order and prospering.
Every part of creation has its part, and all fit together with all other parts to keep all things for the life of all species of animals and plants to coexist in harmony.
Sons of God are created as living beings to have dominion with God, to commune with God, to receive God’s leading in trimming the details of creation, and to see that all works in its designed place.
Love is restoring all broken places in all the designed systems of this world. All creation is groaning, waiting for the Sons of God to be manifest and fulfill their role to guide this world back into harmony with the love and wisdom of God. (Romans 8:19-22).
The love, power, and wisdom of God and the angels of heaven are available to the sons of God to restore the world to the glorious kingdom of God. God and man abiding together as one in the perfect order of God and heaven on Earth.
“Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10.
Love and Blessings,
