1. PASSIONATE LOVE OPENS HEAVEN – Ron McGatlin
PASSIONATE LOVE OPENS HEAVEN – Ron McGatlin
A flaming passionate desire unfulfilled will result in extreme actions of change to try to fulfill the pent-up desire.
A buildup of unfulfilled desire is like a river blocked by a huge dam that backs up to become a massive lake of pent-up desire pressing against the dam.
Human beings are born with an innate desire for God and His love in their hearts. This inherent hunger for God and His love is within all mankind. In His fallen condition, the built-in passionate desire for God is not recognized or understood as the true object of their desire. They subsequently attempt to fill it with various passions of natural or supernatural life other than God.
Some of the natural and supernatural passions are Romance and sexual activity, Sports, Games, Gaining Wealth, Religion or Religious Church Activity, Family Relationships, Witchcraft, Sorcery, Mind Crafting, or Mind Control.
These and more natural and supernatural passions become false gods when used to replace the damned-up flow of passionate love with the one true God.
None of these nor any substitute god can truly satisfy the passion for the one true God that is built into the heart of man.
The false gods may keep the people busy and give them a temporary sense of a degree of accomplishment. However, in the end, mankind is left empty and hopelessly longing for the deep fulfillment of God and His love filling their life with righteousness, peace, and joy of the abundance of life in and with God and His love.
THE INSANE SCREAMING WORLD
In this world today, a huge lake of desire for real passionate love has built up against a blockage of the flow of God’s river of love and all He has for us. The unfulfilled innate passionate desire for God in man has driven him to extreme affection and love for one or more of the false gods that become the master of His or her life. Eventually, the deceiving false god leaves the person empty and unfulfilled.
Often the only recourse that seems to be available is for the person to end the miserable empty life either by suicide, or by sedating the unsatisfied desire with drugs, alcohol, or some other deadly substance or practice such as extreme eating habits or extremely dangerous occupation or endeavors.
The dam is not of God. It is a man-built dam that creates the unfulfilled innate hunger for God and causes it to remain unsatisfied.
REVELATION LIGHT OF GOD’S LOVE OPENING HEAVEN
The decisions made by mankind built the dam and the new decisions of mankind are beginning to dissolve the dam.
The revelation of God and being in love with Him is not a mental or intellectually-based activity. It is a spiritual reality experience of Spirit God opening the heavens to our spirit man. It is the self-life within us moving out and the Spirit life of God in Christ Jesus moving into the headship of this life.
When the dam breaks, passionate love beyond measure rushes out of our hearts to God and the light of His pure holy love fills our being with the light and love of God and heaven is alive in us flowing out to the world around us. The love flowing out of our hearts further washes away the dam opening the way for fulfillment of passionate love life in and with Father God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit.
Light and love have begun the washing away of the dam. Massive revival is the love of God and mankind finally getting connected again after millennia of blockage.
The past short-lived revivals were like a temporary overflow of an emergency spillway on the dam when the build-up of desire behind the man-made dam threatened to overflow and destroy the civilization below the dam.
LUKEWARM THE ENEMY OF PASSION FOR GOD
Lukewarm Christianity is lik
e a vaccination for a disease. Like a vaccination makes us immune to the real disease, lukewarm religion makes us immune to the real passionate love relationship with God. It is easier for a non-religious sinner to receive the real kingdom of God than it is for a lukewarm Christian.
“‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: ‘I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Revelation 3:14-16.
HUMAN GOOD IS NOT SPIRIT GOD
Without God, some rich and powerful leaders in this world may at some point seek to do good for the people of the land. They will convince themselves that if they had greater or more complete authority over the people, they could bring them into a better life through their control over them.
They seek to bring forth a ruling class of the elite few like themselves to establish control over all issues of life to force the people to walk in their set of laws. Allurement and deception are major tools for them.
They know if the people remain fed and entertained, they will not rebel against them. So, the people are lured away from the freedom of the pure holy love relationship with the God of heaven and all that is pure and holy in this world. Certainly, there is no room for God and any other governance other than their own.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THE REAL KINGDOM OF GOD
The kingdom of God on earth is coming forth and all other opposing rule is coming down. The kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven is the rule of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, Savior, and Mighty King. If you have spiritual “ears to hear” and “eyes to see,” you are a part of the generation in whom Christ Jesus lives to bring about the transition and transformation of this world into as it is in heaven.
Praise God! The kingdom of God is manifesting on earth and we get to be a part of it! We are not the main part but we are a necessary part.
God is bringing forth His kingdom by His power from heaven. It is all by and through Christ Jesus our Savior, Lord, and King, in and through His people on earth.
God will not move on earth without the agreement and participation of mankind. Through the intimate love relationship with Father God in abiding in Christ Jesus and His abiding in us by the Holy Spirit, we are the fully redeemed sons and daughters of God ruling as kings and priests flowing the kingdom of God on Earth.
THE DAM IS NOW STARTING TO OVERFLOW
Some of God’s people are beginning to experience the reality of the presence of the pure love of God in Christ in and with them and are falling completely in love with Him. They are beginning to see and hear the reality of the love kingdom of God in Christ coming forth into their lives in this world.
The dam is demonically inspired and humanly built of earthen soil. The dirt was reformed to construct the dam that blocks the flow of the desire for God and His love.
When a natural earthen dam begins to overflow it is not long until the entire dam gives way and the massive lake begins to surge down the river destroying all that has been built along the dry river bed. Cities and towns can be swept away by the rushing flood of water.
So, it will be in the fall of the devil’s man-made dam that has for millennia blocked the innate desire in mankind for a total love relationship with God as becoming one with God.
A STRONG SPIRITUAL PLEA AND WARNING FROM GOD
“Move now to higher ground. Flee to the mountain. Do not go back into the house to get anything. Do not look back.”
The world systems have mostly become a dry riverbed without the in-love relationships in the people of God.
The collapse of the dam and the subsequent explosion of the desire for the love of God is the end of the lukewarm and all systems of darkness along with all they have caused to be built in the dry riverbed of life in this world without God and His passionate love.
All governance and all of life must be quickly changed by the willing agreement with God and His way of love that produces righteousness, peace, and joy or it will be swept away by the rushing flow of the burning desire of man for God and His love.
The passionate love of God is making way for the fullness of the glorious love kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. Peace on earth and goodwill to man.
Thank You Jesus,

2. THE GLORY OF GOD NOW! Ron McGatlin
THE GLORY OF GOD NOW! Ron McGatlin
God is speaking today to His maturing sons and daughters who have experienced the glory of God in His presence. Or perhaps this is primarily for me?
Let me explain that a bit. In considering the cause of the seeming lack of bountiful success in reaching people with the message of the reality of the kingdom of God now with us on earth, it was revealed that the lack of the glory of God in my life was the reason that response to the glorious kingdom message I proclaimed was less than desirable to some good Christians.
Yes, I have experienced the greater presence of being with God on earth and on occasions in heaven and even inside His heart in one life-changing event. I know and hear His voice and have seen many miracles and received profound revelation and wisdom from real personal comradeship with the Lord.
So why this lack of the fullest expectations of reaching some of the people of God with the greater gospel of the kingdom of God on earth as our Lord Jesus proclaimed it, especially since I do the best that I can to teach and proclaim it? Why do so many precious Christian people not fully receive the true word of the kingdom as Jesus has revealed from His word at this time in history?
FADING OR FADED GLORY
Recently in a conversation with a dear wise brother in the Lord, he spoke of the shining face of Moses after spending time face-to-face with the Lord. Moses put a veil over his face so that the people would not see the fading glow of the glory upon his face. (2 Corinthians 3:13).
Moses, as great and foundational as his ministry was, at that time before the fullness of the work of Christ and the coming of the Holy Spirit did not have the presence of God in Christ continually indwelling him as His people today can have.
Today we can have God’s presence within us and with us. When we are present with Him the glow of His glory can be seen upon us. We can always reflect the glow of His glory especially when ministering the reality of the kingdom to the world.
We can also move out of our presence with Him when the cares of this life become our place of presence.
The glow of His glory fades in our turning to the “facts” of natural circumstances and away from the deeper and greater “truth” of God in us and with us.
FACTS VERSUS TRUTH
To see and hear of the glory glow we must have the spiritual “eyes to see” and “ears to hear.”
Seeing with only natural eyes will determine a set of facts as seen by us at that moment.
Seeing the same scene with spiritual eyes can determine deeper and greater spiritual as well as natural understanding regarding the past and the future end or results of the scene. The same type of results take place when hearing or reading words. (Matthew 13:10-16).
Truth tends to be far-reaching and encompassing of understanding beyond the circumstances visible to the natural eye and mind. In other words, truth can have a spiritual dimension well beyond natural facts.
Truth can be a person. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” This is much more than a fact of natural understanding.
Hearing and seeing “truth” can also open revelation of God’s plan for intervention to alter the circumstances or the results or outcome of the situation.
MY FADED GLORY GLOW
No one even those with spiritual “eyes to see” can see the glow of glory when it has faded away. When I allow the facts of circumstances to get in the way of the truth of Christ Jesus the fire of God’s glory fades and the teaching of kingdom truth is unseen and unheard.
The miraculous touch of the love of God that should open the highway of the power and wisdom of Spirit God to change the hearts of those who have spiritual ears and eyes to see may be temporarily shut down.
Salt is a great enhancer of taste. However, salt that has lost its savor is of no use and will be cast out under the feet of men. So, a man or woman of God without the flavor enhancer of the glow of glory is not effective in his or her calling and is fit only to be cast out by men. (Matthew 5:13-16).
THESE LATTER DAYS WILL EXCEED THE EARLIER
Father God, I come before You this day to praise You for your abundant mercy and pure love. I lay down all my cares of this life and give myself and all that is mine back to You. I lay them down at Your altar. I trust You God with my whole heart and love You with all the love You have given me. My Father, I roll my cares over on You and I am Yours and as long as there is breath within me I will praise and seek to serve You and Your kingdom way of love in this world. Father in the name of Jesus, bring forth Your kingdom of love, power, and wisdom upon Your people now on earth as it is in heaven. Let Your glory shine upon us, in the precious name of Jesus.
Thank You Jesus!
