STANDING UNDER THE GLORY OF LIGHT AND LOVE– Ron McGatlin
STANDING UNDER AND “UNDER-STANDING”
The manifesting GLORY of the intervening works of God in and with mankind on earth today is beyond natural understanding. In this season of national and worldwide transformation, God’s manifesting glory is a baffling mystery of confusion to the natural minds of man. Their minds cannot encircle it or measure its depth or width to get their minds around it and compare it to the stored data in their minds and hearts.
Understanding typically means to most people that the thing is under or contained or encompassed by our mental thought processes. We know it and stand above or over it to discern it. Often, because we understand it, we may think we have it at some level, even if we have never applied it to our real-time life activity. We think we have it because we know it, but we really do not have it in our lives.
Understanding the word of God means we have achieved or accomplished reasonable mental ascent to decipher the written or spoken words. We then see ourselves standing over the words because we know them and the thoughts or pictures within them.
We then can say we stand on the word. Our feet firmly rest upon it. In other words, we put ourselves on top of the word and can take it in many different directions of perception. Selah.
We cannot stand upon or over the GLORY of God. It is far beyond our minds. Only in or under the glory of God by the Spirit of God can we truly relate to the manifesting glory of God’s works of the national and worldwide transition of pure, holy LOVE, righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit of God. This transition is the light of the glory of God, removing all darkness and all idols or other false gods.
THE NEW LIFE IN AND UNDER THE GLORY
The manifesting or appearing of Christ Jesus in the multitudes of God’s chosen people is freely imparting the works of Christ and demonstrating the glory of heaven on Earth, leading many to fall in love with God.
Christ Jesus is the one and only star of the mighty works of God. No one will ever successfully stand above the glory of God in Christ Jesus. Christ in us is the sure reality of glory on earth. It is in us, but it is not our glory it is always God’s. We are crucified with Christ, and our lives are hidden in Him. (Galatians 2:20) (Colossians 3:3).
Powerful holy angels will assist in removing mountains of demonic fortifications of structured governance of the passing world. A spoken word of the people of God will call forth powerful angels to do what man could never do alone.
The giant mountain of humanism or the “supremacy of man” as his own god is from the tree of knowledge and not from the tree of life. Humanism and other false gods disintegrate in the fullness of the glory of God in Christ Jesus in His people, who are His temple on earth.
THE TEMPLE OF GOD ON EARTH NOW
We are the TEMPLE of God. God dwells in us, and we dwell in Him. Christ Jesus is the Head, and we are the Body of Christ. It is in and through us that Spirit God manages Planet Earth. Jesus is the vine and we are the branches that bear His fruit into the world. (John 15:4-6) (1 Corinthians 12:27).
“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and Spirit God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16.
“And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.’” 2 Corinthians 6:16.
“When Christ who is our life appears (manifests), then you also will appear with Him in His glory.” Colossians 3:4.
“When He comes (manifests), in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe…” 2 Thessalonians 1:10.
The manifestation of Christ in His people is His Body, His temple, His Bride, the Body of Christ on earth.
“The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 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 1:26-27.
Paul wrote in the first chapter of Colossians of the great love and faith of the saints in Colossi and of the great hidden mystery that was revealed to them. Love was a major characteristic of the church at Colossae. 4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints.
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit. (Colossians 1:4,8).
THE RESTORED REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY
This truth continues to remain a mystery to many of the Christians on earth today.
Back in Paul’s day, the Colossians received the revelation of the mystery of Christ in His people after they became in love with God and His people. FAITH and LOVE open the doors to spiritual mysteries being revealed. Faith alone cannot do it, and being in love with God is not even possible without faith. Faith without love is dead to works, but faith works by love to do the works of Christ.
The great news today is that LOVE is being added to our faith in God’s people in this season. Those truly in love with God are now seeing that Christ is here in this world now, fully alive and in full strength in His chosen people on Earth.
The great explosion of GLORY of the manifestation of Christ retaking this world with love is beginning.
The great appearing or manifestation of Christ on Earth is the unveiling of the hearts and minds of multitudes of Christians and new believers through love to receive the mystery revelation of Christ in you, the positive expectation of GLORY.
God is love. God/Love is the most powerful force in the world. Our in-love with God relationship is the online connection to all living data of wisdom, power, truth, knowledge, and understanding. Living in an in-love connection with God is the most powerful and, at the same time, the humblest life in this world.
Without the in-love connection and relationship with God, we are of no significant value to creation. With it, we can provide an untold amount of service to God, mankind, and the world.
We rule and reign with Christ as the Body of Christ, carrying out the missions of Christ in this world. (2 Timothy 2:12).
THE GREAT MERGER OF SPIRITUAL WITH NATURAL
Secular is not a valid neutral or middle-ground position. It is an antichrist or antigod philosophy from the Tree of Knowledge. God cannot be successfully separated from the governance and well-being of Creation.
Religion and its many denominations and doctrines in a nation of mixtures of various national or religious backgrounds needed to be separated from the business of governing the nation. Secularism was birthed to allow freedom for everyone to choose a religion or not. As religion fades away and LOVE takes its place, that situation will be dissolved along with many of the conflicts around the world. There will be no more separation from God in anything that prospers on Earth.
As love and light fill the hearts and lives of the people of God, religion is fading away. The in-love relationships of mankind in and with God are changing all aspects of governance in this world.
God is to be fully involved in all aspects of life. Whether governance, business, family, education, mass media, health care, or any other realm of life, God is to be connected and involved. God is Spirit, and all activities of mankind are to be led by the LOVE and LIGHT of Spirit God.
DRASTIC CHANGE WILL SHOCK AND REORDER LIFE
The first two main priorities for much of the world will become staying alive and burying the dead. Man will eat whatever he can and drink from wherever he must. Parts of the world are already experiencing this kind of severe tribulation.
“A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.” Psalm 91:7.
“The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and…” 2 Peter 2:9.
THIS IS NOT AT ALL ABOUT END-TIME THEOLOGY. This is just about what is happening in the world today and tomorrow.
God has provided everything and has done everything to redeem and restore fallen mankind. All who come to Him will be saved, and all who are in love with Him will walk in His glorious light now in this life.
Even the darkness of tribulation, though it is not of God, is used to turn people from their own way and come to God for cleansing. The earth is cleansed as the lives of people are purified with the glory of Christ, and those who will not come to Christ are removed.
“In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” Matthew 6:9-13.
And so shall we ever be with the Lord,
