THE NEW FRONTIER – Ron McGatlin
I asked God what He wanted me to write today February 25, 2024. He said, “Tell My people, you have come to a NEW LAND, a land of My glory among the living.”
Psalm 27:13: “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.”
In this “land of the living”, we can experience the glory of God in a way that we did not in our old land. There was much evil and plotting against us with cunning and vicious hatred in our past land.
In the old land, we longed for the coming of a day when the powerful love and governance of our Lord would come again to us.
Leaving the land of the living through death to go to heaven was the only for-sure-solid hope of believers in the old land. The only other possibility was the hope of the return of Jesus in our lifetime.
The new land is not first geographic or natural. It is spiritual before it becomes natural.
The people of God must first see the new land in their hearts and minds by the Spirit. We must know that God is bringing the new land to earth and not just showing us a picture of heaven for after this life on earth.
Spiritual always exists before the natural or physical. Spirit God and His Son were Spirit and in heaven before they created the world. Spirit creates and has authority over natural creation. Spirit God in heaven spoke the natural world and all creation into existence. (Genesis 1) (John 1-3,10).
“For by Him (Jesus) all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.” Colossians 1:16-17.
God created mankind a Spirit being in a natural living body and gave him dominion on earth as sons of the living God Almighty.
The process of Christ Jesus restoring all that was lost in the fall of mankind in Adam is now taking place. Jesus in this season, is in taking His people into a pure holy love and marriage relationship of becoming one with God in Christ Jesus and Christ Jesus in us. This is all by the workings of Father God in Christ by the Holy Spirit of God.
There is now a rapidly growing generation of maturing sons and daughters of God who as the Bride of Christ are one with God to be and do the will of Father God.
The new land must first exist and be seen in the Spirit realm by Christ Jesus in the fully redeemed sons of God who are abiding as one in love with God through Christ by the Holy Spirit.
The fully redeemed people of God are seeing in the Spirit the new land of God from heaven restoring the world to God’s original design and desire.
The supernatural spiritual world coming down from heaven to Earth is the creation of the new land now in this world in the spirit and heart of mankind. As mankind sees, believes, and speaks out the vision of the new land into the world, it begins to be formed on earth from heaven.
The world is being created anew by Jesus through the living people of God. The new land is like a whole new face or surface of the world coming down to replace the old fallen world.
THE RULING CITY OF THE NEW WORLD
In the new land of God the Bride of Christ, those married to God, are the New Jerusalem, the ruling city of God on earth.
The ruling Bride city, the New Jerusalem of God is FREE from all the bondages of sin and darkness.
Spiritually and symbolically the New Jerusalem is from the mother of the free woman, Sarah. The Jerusalem that now exist is of the mother of the woman in bondage, Hagar. Galatians 4:22-26.
Galatians 4 verse 26 says, “The Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.” This refers to the same New Jerusalem that Paul saw in Revelation 21.
Revelation 21:2-3, 9-10: “Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.’” “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, ‘Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.’” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,”
We who have fallen in love with God and entered the spiritual reality of marrying Him are becoming the true Bride of Christ, the New Jerusalem ruling city in the new land of God, on earth from heaven.
As the Bride of Christ, we are gates for the glory of the new land, the new world of the kingdom of heaven on earth. (Psalm 24:7-10.)
We are at the new frontier of the end of the war between the descendants of Abraham Ishmael and Isaac, the flesh against the Spirit of promise.
The roots of the deep division and conflict in this world today are seen clearly in Galatians 4:28-31, “Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? ‘Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.’ So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.”
‘“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.’ And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, ‘Write: Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ And he said to me, ‘These are the true sayings of God.’” Revelation 19:7-9.
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32.
