Dear Faithful Servant {Ron McGatlin}
My name is S B and I live in Florida. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your ear staying tuned into the Fathers heart. I have been a subscriber to Open Heaven for some time now and it seems as though the Lord uses you to speak volumes into my spirit man. Its as though He has you take a bow and just nicely tie it around many of the words He has been releasing and bringing into my path.
Again thank you for your continued obedience to build and advance His Kingdom rather than promoting your own. That wineskin is still prevalent here but Holy Spirit is releasing the clarion call for those who have an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying about those towers of babel.
Thank you again and I look forward to hearing all that He continues to reveal to you,
With heart burning within,
SB
Hello Ron, I just want to thank you for your website and especially your articles. I am grateful to the Lord for connecting me to you, as what you are saying and teaching is so in line with what He has been showing me. Your articles and Kingdom Growth Guides are also helpful to extend my understanding as I seek God for what this next stage of my journey is about. GW - New Zealand
Hello Ron,
I am a son of God, 30 years old, just married (2weeks ago :) , of Lebanese nationality and Armenian origin. I am an elder and a member of the board in our newly born Church.
I follow your website's updates daily and receive your weekly OpenHeaven.com Digest and read them with much interest. I would like to share something with you as I believe that it will encourage you greatly.
On Monday evenings, we have special hours of prayer in our church. around 120 people from the congregation (only those who operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit) gather to receive fresh revelation and fire from the Lord. And the messages we receive there every monday are the same as the ones I read in your newsletters. This has been a great confirmation in my heart from the Holy Spirit that your articles and your inspiration is genuine.
We have been persecuted greatly (thank God) for the shift we made from separating from the traditional orthodox church and becoming an in dependant Church so we can proclaim His Kingdom in Lebanon and the world. The Lord has blessed us greatly. We became a church with God's grace, now we have ministries in Greece, Iran, France and Armenia.
In Lebanon, religious bondage is high and this shift of living for God and Holiness is very rare. Your articles have been a great encouragement to me as I hear the same voice of the Spirit talking to my heart and calling me everyday to a deeper relationship with the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ. I know that we are living in very special times as I see how the heat of the Kingdom is showing in the lives of the believers around me and angering the devil and those who are lost in the world.
I never remember it being this way. People were indifferent to spiritual movements or simply sarcastic about it. Now they are mad! It is such a rare thing in the body of Christ to find people who preach holy living, self denying and allowing the Spirit of God transform characters and attitudes into the likeness of our Lord. I thank God for your ministry and bless you in Jesus name. May your ministry expand like a vineyard in this world give much fruit for the Father's glory.

Thank you Ron McGatlin! Your newsletter BLESSES me! Deeply. Both of your articles today were just for me. :) The Holy Spirit speaks so perfectly through your words and the love of Christ permeates through every paragraph.
Pure water for my Spirit today!

Ron, I just want to encourage you by letting you know the Kingdom Growth Guides have had a tremendous positive impact on myself, my wife and several friends in just a few weeks.
People are already preparing to use the Guide to launch group studies to feed the hunger you correctly identified as being ignored by most traditional churches -- the hunger to truly know God and be filled by the Holy Spirit.
The Guide answers so many questions raised by people who have attended church for years, even decades, yet still feel empty.
Thanks so much for your faithful service and loving, patient heart as you wait for more followers to join you in this wonderful crusade. God bless, Al Boyce - North Carolina, USA
Brother Ron,
I have just completed my first read of Basileia Letters Vol1 & Vol 2. I wanted to send you a quick contact to let you know how much I enjoyed and appreciated each and every sentence. I enjoyed this so much so that it is my intention to share it with others.
My wife M and I live, work and minister in Kuwait and out from here.
I thank God for your attention to the heart of Holy Spirit...
God touch you.
RK - Kuwait
Ron, I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but I am just so thankful for you. I truly thank GOD for you and Barbara. I really appreciate your last two articles. I am truly thankful. ABBA FATHER I truly thank YOU for this man. Joseph - North Carolina, USA
Ron - Just to say that we are now using the Kingdom Growth Guides in our home group.
Thanks again, we always look forward to Openheavennews each week. Peter - Australia
Hi Ron
After four years of discipleship we feel we have broken through into mature brother and sister in Christ with you. For the last few months your weekly incredible revelations and impartations have flowed immediately through our church group and beyond, and all those we minister to and with.
Ron, be truly encouraged, the Lord is using you awesomely and we honour you as a mighty man of God - fully immersed in the one true God.
Keep pouring out the Substance!
We are hungry sponges to receive.
Copious Blessings

Ron, you are one of the most INCREDIBLY true voices of the spirit of our Abba Father. I have been in ministry for years, and have been so encouraged that we are finally getting busy about our FATHER'S business rather than our own. Thank you for your powerful messages. They rock! Favor & blessings to you! Sandy
I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for your obedience and service to the King! It means so much to me to find your Kingdom Growth Guides (thank you Great Holy Spirit)!! It is so valuable to me!! I am so blessed to receive such assistance. I am along to #06 and it is like hammering down securely what I have been learning by way of the Spirit for awhile. I am so excited and want to be saturated with these truths and utterly transformed to demonstrate His glorious Kingdom here. It is what I was made for!!! Thank you Ron McGatlin!! May our God bless you in every way for your devotion!!! To the King of Kings!!!
Peace and Joy,

I want to thank you for all the news that I receive. What a blessing to our family and friends to read all about what God is doing all over the world. Marilynn - Australia.
I'm just writing to say. Thank you. Your role in these powerful New England outpourings is not insignificant. You are the one that God used via email to hook me up with the folks on Cape Cod that led to my first meetings there. Larry - Texas
We appreciate the great work that you are doing with your team to edify and for the revival of the body of Christ. We had been receiving many lists from Europe and America here in Africa where our Mission is based; but let us tell you that we really find you work more edifying for a Mission like ours. Dr A.Z.- Africa
I subscribe to very, very few lists (of which yours is key) and have unsubscribed from many less strategic ones. We are based in Africa and I appreciate your grace and understanding. Ernst.
I want to thank you for your precious ministry. I've been reading your newsletter for 5 years. I was really encouraged by the news letter, and I can pray for the needs in the whole world.... T.T. Japan
I for one thoroughly enjoy your newsletters and your perspective - not being afraid to say what really needs saying. Trish, New Zealand
The OpenHeaven newsletter is a real blessing, and I just wanted to show my support for it. Keep up the Good Work! Andy N. UK
Thanks for your faithfulness and perseverance in serving our Lord and His people around the world. RM. - Kansas
After reading your first 3 books (actually devouring them) I can't explain the intense desire for the fire of God in our church. Thank-you for your devotion to God and the body of Christ, I know my coming to this site wasn't an accident... Sheree - New York
God is proud of you for being honest, faithful, & persevering, too. LL. - Calif.
Ron,
I hardly ever drop an email to someone I have never met. Today is an exception.
I've only just recently began reading from Open Heavens (I stumbled on to it from a search I did that brought up Wade Taylor's name). The recent entry on "Spiritual Leadership in a Natural World" was simply the best on leadership I've seen. The revelation that you are receiving of the coming age resonates deeply with my spirit, so I just wanted to drop a note of encouragement. I believe the Lord has raised you to be one of the voices for the this time and season. The fact that you are a "hidden voice" is of no surprise. I believe God has gifted you to communicate His heart and intentions to a remnant for this hour. The things you are communicating are direct confirmations of what I have been hearing from the Lord myself. Thanks for your obedience.
Blessings,
Jim
I have been so blessed to be a recipient of you OpenHeaven Mail. Elsbeth, - England.
My husband and I are truly blessed by your ministry. Thank you and God bless you. C.N.
Dear Ron & Barbara,
Thank you so much for regularly sending me "Open heaven Digest" for the last couple of years. I have been blessed. My name is George Samuel and I am pastoring a congregation "Delhi Revival Center" in the capital city of Delhi for the last 20 years. The latest issue of Open Heaven really touched my heart and I want to say a big thank you for being sensitive to the Holy Spirit as you communicate the servants/pastors through your writings. I am right now in Dubai to visit and encourage some of the new believers from India who are now in Dubai.
I believe God for a Holy Spirit revival in India,especially in the capital of our nation which will result in the ingathering of souls and thereby see a tremendous expansion of His Kingdom in our nation. Please join with us in praying and believing God to this happen in our nation.
Thank you again for sending us Open Heaven Digest.
George Samuel - India
Ron:
Your word of walking in the Spirit -- is profoundly "dead on" the money. We desperately need to "pay the price" of detoxing ourselves from what we can organize and "pull off" and get fully consumed with the glory of God. I really appreciate your words.

Hello Bro Ron,
It's me Michael Parsons. I know it's been a while since we last communicated but I'm the one who was in the throws of leaving my traditional church setting and launching out in God. Well, let me tell you what has happened in the past year. After I informed my bishop of my decision he kindly requested his ordination papers back and that was fine.
I gave him his papers and began meetings at a local homeless mission in a neighboring city and have led many souls to Jesus in the interim. In the past 3 months a group of Kenyans living in Frankfurt, Germany requested that I come and teach them. Well, to make the story short our group is getting larger by the week and people are coming from over 100 miles to attend our meetings.
I've been teaching them who they are in Christ Jesus and am about to begin teaching on the believer's authority. My how "all" of our lives are changing and the presence of the Lord is increasing week-by-week without having to prime the people through praise and worship before I speak.
There's a genuine hunger for the Kingdom of God and revelation is ceaseless on the opposite side of tradition. I can remember the first time I read one of your articles I was hesitant because you weren't religious like I was and I kind of thought you were a threat but I kept reading your weekly articles and today I can gladly say Jesus is Lord without having to filter everything through a man. God bless you Ron and your wonderful staff.
Michael Parsons
Dear Brother Ron,
Happy new year to you and family. I just came back from Africa, yesterday January 16, 2008. I am from Africa but resides in NJ.
I recently fell in love with your ministry. As I rely on the grace of God in order that I would grow and be used effectively for what He has called me to do in his Vineyard, I found your ministry dishing out the very thoughts the Lord has put in my heart. I mean what I need to be fed on in order to intimately relate with our Father God, through Jesus Christ by the power, instructions, guidance, comfort, rebuke and leading of the Lord's Spirit in me.
As I have not yet made it, I am humbly praying that God would use ministry like yours to enlighten me in those areas that He needs me to operate. My prayer is not only to be a willing vessel but to be an effective witness of our Lord Jesus Christ in Spirit and power and not on philosophies and wisdom of men that have founded many ecclesiastical organisations which camouflaged themselves as the true body of Christ. Very promising and exciting on the outside but when viewed through spiritual lens would come out as deadly spiritual cancer. I was once a victim, but as the Lord began to open my eyes, I saw the light and thus, the way out. To God be the glory.
I thank God for your ministry and I pray for the ministry as you pray for me.
Brother Frank Dara
Dear Ron
I just want to thank you for your articles in OpenHeaven.com Digest.
I am almost 56 have known the Lord all my life and been an active member of Church. I have been to the local Bible College and got a diploma in Christian Ministry. However for the past 5 years I have learnt more at the Lord's feet and got closer to him than all the former years. What he has been saying and teaching me has been quite radical to my thinking and what I have been taught.
I guess I have been having my mind transformed but I feel more free and understanding of his word than ever before. This has led me away from the church system that I had always loved and therefore isolated me and my husband a bit. It has been a painful process in part and lonely but the Lord has now put me alongside others who are going through the same transition. Your articles I came across through a round about way at the Lord's leading I believe and have been a confirmation of what he has been showing me. For this I am grateful as sometimes I wonder if I have it right as I seem to be going against the mainstream current.
However I am very glad I am where I am and do not want to go back to the former ways.
I just want to encourage you and thank you for making your articles available,
May God Bless you abundantly,
Gail

I received your Smithton book first and while that was good reading, it in no way prepared me for the blazing truths and freedoms contained in "Overcoming Life on a Small Planet!" I am so excited and can't wait to read "Basileia Letters". I am requesting a 2nd copy of "Overcoming Life" to share with my pastor and my bible study... it is exactly the tool needed to bring real kingdom living home to all of us. Thank you so much! RK - Wisconsin
Thank you so much for the emails we receive regularly - it is so wonderful to hear of all the great things God is doing around the world. I have cried out to God for a long time to link me up with what He is doing and I now feel a part of what He is doing around the world. Every time I read your mail I just sit at my computer and worship Him and thank Him for His faithfulness. Ivan - Australia
Appreciate your faithfulness in producing Open Heaven. And, I want you to know I appreciate your wisdom, and your gentle, loving approach to sharing the truth!! - RL Kansas City, USA
Ron:
Just a word of thanks for your newsletters. They continue to be a blessing to us. This last one on Equally Yoked was magnificent. We have had numerous opportunities this past week to share this word with prayer ministry clients and much freedom has come for us and for them as a result.
Blessings, Brother. We appreciate you!
Resting in the Father's Embrace,

Dear Ron;
Your article this week put words to my spiritual reality. Selah! Yes Amen!
Our Kingdom Growth Guides small group had real revelation break through this morning. And, with the revelation came excitement, a personal knowing. The previous guides (001-004) began to come together as they each began to read passages and connect them to their new understanding. It was indeed a very exciting time, punctuated with spontaneous prayer, and a sense of unity.
Thank you so much for your on-going ministry to me and through me.

My precious brother Ron,
I just read your article on living in the Spirit, and my heart is doing cartwheels. What a blessing you are to our precious Father and the body of Christ.
It is time my dear brother for the true body of Christ to stand up and be counted. I believe we have entered a new season where it is now Christ living in us and us living in Him, and He will move our hands and our feet and our hearts, and whatever else He needs, to bring us to the place where we need to be for Him and for His glory.
These are glorious days we are living in, and even as chronologically you and I are about the same age, I believe we will see this glorious Bride of Christ rise up and take her rightful place in our time. I just had to write and thank you for your obedience in posting this, it brought such joy to my heart, and of course as we both know, more importantly, to our Fathers heart.
Be blessed my precious brother in Christ,
Yours in Christ,
His bride eternally.

I am humbled by the precious love and godly respect for what the LORD is doing on His beautiful planet. - Ron McGatlin
