LOVE PLANTING THE WORLD WITH GOD’S KINGDOM – Ron McGatlin
A generation of kingdom ministers is planting the seeds of love in the hearts of God’s people. Through past generations, rigid religious rules have created firm adherence to routines, external forms, and doctrines that replaced the personal, love leadership of the Holy Spirit. God is bringing us to a new place, to a higher level of Spirit life, in and with Spirit, God Almighty, together in His kingdom of love reality.
God’s Kingdom of love does not destroy or replace the church era. Instead, it frees it from all that men have added and releases it from hard structures of confinement. It expands it to all the world in every area of life. All that is from God is refined and released into every activity of mankind on earth. All the world will glorify God as love fills the world with peace and godly wisdom. Yes, it will not look like, or even be like, church religion as it functions today.
The glorious reality of the Kingdom of God’s Love, and the Holy Spirit’s real IDENTITY and ruling power is now beginning to be revealed.
KNOWING GOD
Knowing God is not the same as knowing about God. Men have invested their lives in studying the Bible and other resources about God, yet they may have never known God. Natural, fallen mankind cannot know God or the real, life-giving things of God. At the fall of man, God’s Spirit left mankind. Until reborn into a new creation, man cannot truly know God. (Matthew 7:21-23.)
The potential to really know God begins as we receive Christ Jesus into our heart. Obviously, Jesus’ natural body does not enter our natural body. Spirit Christ, by Holy Spirit, enters our heart to become the dominant Spirit within us.
Our unrenewed mind is accustomed to ruling the “knower” in our brain and will keep feeding on natural understanding without God. This is how a Christian man can study and learn about God and yet never know Him. Holy Spirit within is squelched and grieved. The love in Holy Spirit is squelched and true revelation is blocked. (Ephesians 4:30).
Until we honor the Holy Spirit and release Him to fill our spirit and renew or overrule our mind, we have only a natural mind, learning about God but never knowing God in a personal relationship as His son, as we were created to be in Adam.
Ask God to clear the way for the fullness of Holy Spirit into your heart, and to impart truth and love into you.
One Spirit God
Father God is Holy, and He is Spirit.
Christ Jesus, the Messiah, is Holy, and He is Spirit now.
Holy Spirit is Spirit God and Spirit Christ.
The Holy Spirit is God, and God is LOVE.
Spirit created and sustains all created natural existence. Spirit God created all things, and all creation is accountable to God.
God created mankind as His Spirit Sons in earthly bodies to rule His domain, Planet Earth, with Him as the kingdom of heaven, or the kingdom of God, the kingdom of love and light, on earth. When mankind rebelled against God, the kingdom of darkness and unlove entered to rule in the world.
Christ Jesus, Messiah, Lord and King, fully redeemed the world at the cross and resurrection. He brought the word of the restored kingdom of God, ascended back to heaven, and returned with the Father in the HOLY SPIRIT at Pentecost. He now lives in His people on earth to guide and empower the full restoration of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. In the fullness of the kingdom, everyone is aligned with God’s kingdom by communing with Father God within us, spirit to Spirit.
For over two thousand years, God has been seeking and preparing a people to hear and manifest the restored kingdom of God, Kingdom of Heaven, on earth.
Many good people of God were taught to believe that the kingdom of God could not come on earth until Jesus came back in His one fleshly body. The only hope was that He would come back within our lifetime, or that we would leave this earth and go to the kingdom of heaven after death.
Flesh bodies are temporary earthly bodies in which we spirit beings live on earth, primarily to glorify God and restore His kingdom of heaven on earth. We are the connector of Spirit God to a natural physical world.
Jesus was much more concerned about bringing heaven to earth than getting us to heaven after we died.
CHURCH WITHOUT KINGDOM
For the most part, since the third century after Christ Jesus proclaimed the kingdom of God on earth, Christians have had no real hope of the kingdom on earth. Their hope was in heaven after death, or in Jesus coming back in His flesh-and-bone earthly body.
Ministers were Christ’s representatives to the people, with authority to receive offerings and confessions, forgive sins, or condemn and cast people out of the church. Men served as supreme leaders over their specific international, organized religious systems, with a pyramid of leadership offices under them. The Holy Spirit (Spirit God and Spirit Christ) was no longer establishing the kingdom of heaven on earth. Without the Holy Spirit fully functioning in the system, it fell short of God’s LOVE, power, and wisdom.
KINGDOM OF GOD/LOVE RESTORATION
In the second half of the second millennium after Christ, the Holy Spirit began restoring, step by step, the revelation of the kingdom of God as Jesus proclaimed it in the first century. Over five centuries ago, God restored the revelation of Salvation in Christ Jesus by faith, rather than by trying to keep the law, or by offerings and sacrifices to pay for sin or purchase redemption.
Just over a century ago, the filling, or baptism, of the Holy Spirit was re-revealed, restoring God’s power and presence in and with the lives of believers, and quickly spread across the world.
Only in the last fifty years or so has the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD/LOVE, now on earth, been revealed on a broader scale to the people of God abiding in the Holy Spirit. The revelation of Christ Jesus and Father God, being in us to bring forth His kingdom now on earth, brings the great positive expectation (hope) of the fullness of the kingdom of God/kingdom of heaven manifesting in this world now.
When we receive Holy Spirit, filling our spirit and becoming our Spirit, our life no longer lives. We watch and agree as God in Christ lives His life of LOVE in our Spirit, soul, and body.
Christ now abides in this world to establish the kingdom of God on earth in His temple, His body of believers. “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” 1 Corinthians 6:19.
WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN TO YOU AND ME
For some, it may mean checking the Bible to read about the kingdom in God’s written word. For most of us, we need to go into our quiet place and personally commune with God. Ask Him about His kingdom on earth. For certain, our lives on earth will not be the same in the near future as they were in the recent past.
Church systems, world religions, educational systems, mass media, entertainment, and the basic structures of existence are changing as God’s love rules the world again, as it did in the Garden of Eden before the fall. There is no more mediocrity nor compromise. LOVE is God, and God is LOVE. The blinding GLORY of God’s Love obliterates all that is not God. The beauty of holiness fills our hearts and lives as peace and joy worship in the heavenly atmosphere of heaven on earth renews all the world.
There is no turning back! Nothing is behind us, and love is before us!
THE CALL OF GOD
As Abraham was called to leave the land of his father and go to a place he did not know, we are being called to leave the life we have known and go to a land we have not known before. We are leaving the world of self and darkness and entering the kingdom of God on earth, as it is in heaven.
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32.
Love never fails, andHis kingdom never ends.
