RISING ABOVE SPIRITUAL CLOUDS – Ron McGatlin
We are all familiar with natural fog and its ability to limit our vision. Some of us are familiar with brain fog, which can impair our ability to think clearly. Fog is like clouds on the ground.
When an airplane rises through a cloud cover, there is a sudden breakthrough to a bright sunny day. It may feel like a whole new day in a different world as we suddenly pass from dull gray of almost no vision to radiant, brilliant light.
Heavenly spiritual light is clouded to the natural world’s eyes and muted to its ears by the curse of sin and the denial of God’s love and provision of reconciliation to God through Christ Jesus by Holy Spirit.
God is bringing about significant breakthroughs in the spiritual clouds of religious beliefs and traditions that were once necessary and useful. Without the fullness of purity of saturation in the Spirit LOVE of God, the intensity of the unclouded light of God could have allowed mankind to destroy himself and the world around us.
There is so much power in God that the immature sons of God would have destroyed the creation of this world and mankind if they had had access to it. The dense spiritual fog or clouds are for the preservation of mankind until they come into the fullness of love in God. Light is power naturally and spiritually. The light of the sun is the power of hurricanes and all that moves or has breath on earth.
Prematurely removing the clouds would have been like handing a child a button that would release all nuclear bombs on Earth for detonation at one time.
TOTAL LOVE IS UNLIMITED POWER
The first and most significant work of Holy Spirit after being born again is saturating us with the LOVE of God. God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit is filling our being, spirit, soul, and body with love, which produces power, wisdom, and all the fruit of the Spirit.
As we mature in the love and light of God, we progressively arise through the cloud cover, receiving more of His light and power until the day we move entirely through all the clouds and fog into the reality of the brightness and glory of the whole love and power of God, unto fully manifested sons of God.
This is the full stature of the manifestation of the life of Christ Jesus living where we once lived. Our once renegade mind is forever the mind of Christ in complete allegiance and alignment with the heart of Father God Almighty.
With God, all things are possible. Walking beyond the limitations and laws of natural reality becomes normalized in our human Spirit reality. We are true Sons of God walking in step with the will and plan of God.
We are deeply humbled to realize that we can call upon thousands of powerful angels to accomplish anything in this world. Yet we move only in exactly what Father God desires and leads us to do or say.
Our fleshly desires and natural human worldly rationality have no part in ruling our lives. We impart the love of God in every connection or interaction with others.
The power and strength of God is in our words and thoughts formed in us by the Holy Spirit. God always speaks the truth in love in our hearts. Sons of God are followers of God and leaders of men, speaking only the truth in love that creates the will and ways of God in the world.
GOD IS LOVE – LOVE CONTAINS FAITH, HOPE, POWER, AND WISDOM
As we walk in communion with Spirit God/Love, we hear Him and know what He is doing and saying, and faith is instantly present. With love, hope becomes an expectation, and we can speak with wisdom and power.
Faith without love becomes presumption. Hope without love becomes wishful thinking. Wisdom without love becomes shrewdness. Power without love becomes tyranny.
Do you get it? I believe that this is the breakthrough through the clouds into the bright light of a new day, a reality where the fullness of the manifested sons of God walk in the full supernatural power and wisdom of God in His kingdom now.
All the works of God are done with love or by love and are ineffective without LOVE.
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3.
The children of God are maturing in the Spirit and growing past the religious limitations of immaturity, and growing into mature Sons of God in love with God. We spoke and thought as children. We had a lot, but we were not, at the time, ready for the fullness of the supernatural Spirit power of mature Sons of God.
“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.” 1 Corinthians 13:11-12.
The “but then” in verse 12 is when we truly HAVE LOVE, and this is what is happening NOW. We are truly falling in love with God and communing with Him in such a way that supernatural, powerful works of God can be done, as God’s love fills and rules our lives, making faith effortless. We do what we see and hear God saying and doing in loving communion with Him. Spirit reality becomes more real to us than our natural understanding.
All things are possible in love with God.
“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13.
