1. REMOVING WALLS OF SEPARATION – Ron McGatlin
REMOVING WALLS OF SEPARATION – Ron McGatlin
There is a way opening before us to restore the world to the plan and way of God on Planet Earth. The world governance structure is like an old wineskin that has been thoroughly worked over many times to try to contain an entirely new wine of governance. It cannot be repaired or changed again. A new one must now be used.
All governments of the world, from personal and family to tribal, national, and any communal function of life, are devised and operated by humans. From the ingenuity of human beings, numerous systems of order and rule have been created, and none have brought good life to the whole world.
All manmade order, apart from God, is affected by the natural needs, desires, and fears of man’s knowledge, understanding, and whatever spirit or spirits are influencing his mind.
When Adam and Eve chose to listen to another spirit that denied God, they became cut off. A wall of separation came between them and the one true King. Before that, they were one with God and were as His agents of governance on Planet Earth. God’s governance of the entire world was to be God with His people.
The world by design is to be under the one King, God in Christ, by the Holy Spirit. All other governance is outside the design of God for this world.
The gospel of the kingdom is not what church systems and other religions have been propagating for centuries. Many may have a piece or particle of the kingdom mixed with their man-devised systems of religious order.
Every person in this world is a unique individual. We each carry our own distinct DNA. We each have different fingerprints. No two are the same. This is by the design of God. None of us are the complete picture or presentation of God’s provision for governing or caring for His created world. All the parts must function together to achieve God’s purposes in the world.
HOW CAN THIS ALL COME INTO THE ORDER OF GOD?
The apparent reality is that all current governance must be either annihilated or purified by cleansing of all that is not of God, and the way of God must be established in every heart.
The fruit of the tree of life cannot be found on the tree of knowledge. Selah.
As we continue to go to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, we will not have the fruit of the tree of life. Always learning and never able to come to know the truth. (2 Timothy 3:7).
Good and evil understanding refers to the worldly or natural understanding that leads to natural reasoning and earthly knowledge. It is the basis of law: do this and be good, or do that and be evil. Natural judgment lacks the depth of Spirit God’s wisdom.
Christians tend to see two or three divisions of somewhat competitive basic forms of governance. The three are Spiritual, Church, and Secular. Those who see only two put Church and Spiritual together as one. That is not how they exist today.
SPIRITUAL
Spiritual governance is the direct leadership of Spirit God through communing with God in a love relationship.
CHURCH
Church systems are usually governed by the interpretation of the word of God, which is adjusted to fit into the systems of men. Some men are positioned in offices of authority above others to establish structures and systems of ministry and control based on their interpretations of the written word. This becomes a system of written or unwritten church rules or laws instead of the direct guidance of God by the Spirit.
Many church ministers seek God with their whole heart and being. Yet, they are limited in what they can say and do by the people who are locked into a set pattern of church structure, interpretations, and systems.
SECULAR
Secularism is a widely accepted form of governance that rules much, if not most, of the world today. The term secular is primarily thought to be a legitimate and basic form of governance in business, education, government, mass media, and most activities in the Western world. Many, if not most, Christians are forced into a level of cooperation with secularism in their jobs, professions, and daily activities.
Secularism took a big leap forward in America with a big misunderstanding of the governmental ruling informally called the “separation of church and state.” The lawmakers intended to ensure that the government could never rule over religion as it had in Europe. The desire was not by any stretch to keep God out of government.
Secularism is life without God and will always lead to significant disorder and failure. It is demonic in its core and in direct opposition to the kingdom of God on Earth.
COMING INTO THE KINGDOM AGE
We are blessed to live in the beginning stages of God’s kingdom order being restored in the hearts of many men and women of God, and especially in the young people. There is a significant desire for the reality of God’s presence ruling in their lives and in the world around them. I sincerely believe there are now more people alive in this world in love with God than ever before in history.
At the same time, there is an extreme lie of secularism being planted into the minds and hearts of the young people who are searching for more reality and well-being for all. As the evil roots of the darkness in secularism and other false religions are exposed, many will see the light of love and turn to God.
More people are falling in love with the presence of God and are awakening to the joy of becoming one with God. This enables them to see the lack of reality of religious church systems that have a form of God but lack the relationship of love with God that releases His supernatural wisdom and power. As they come to know God in a deep love relationship, they realize that they had been worshiping the shadow of knowledge about God, rather than the reality of God.
THE KINGDOM OF LOVE INVADING THE WORLD
God’s plan of redemption has always been to establish the kingdom of God, also known as the kingdom of heaven on earth.
The church age was characterized by its growth and efforts to distance itself from the fallen world. Its primary purpose in the past two thousand years of world restoration was to call out a people and prepare them to restore all the rest of the world to the kingdom of God.
Now the time has come to no longer come out from among the world, but to GO OUT AMONG THE WORLD.
The kingdom of God is characterized by God abiding with His people on earth in every area of life. God with us in business, occupation, family, education, government, media, and every part of life on earth.
It is no longer about building the church as a final goal. It is about establishing the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. God is now equally involved in all life every day, not just on Sundays.
All that we do is to serve God as He works with us to provide and care for His people and the world around us. Being saturated with Spirit God fills us with LOVE that leads us and empowers us to produce much provision, guidance, and assistance to the people and the world around us.
WALLS DISAPPEAR IN LOVE’S KINGDOM
Religious denominational walls are among the first to fall in love’s kingdom. Spirit God is no longer walled off to government, business, education, media, or anything else in God’s kingdom of love.
Walls, fences, laws, bigotry, racism, and religious strife that divide are all removed by love. People in love with God do not need to be bound or given rules to restrain or limit them. All are free to hear and follow the leading of Spirit God in love. Praise God! Worship Him with all your heart and life!
WHAT DO WE DO WITH THOSE WHO WILL NEVER COME TO GOD’S LOVE?
The short answer is, nothing.
Darkness of unlove hates light and love, and will do all possible to kill, steal, and destroy all that is of the light and love. The continued presence of God’s love and light in His people will call those in darkness to come to the light and become the light and love of God. At the same time, those who will not come will blatantly attack those of love and light, and then God will destroy them.
Love in us is not provoked by a wrong suffered. This leaves us free to allow God to repay and make things right. “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Romans 10:17-21, “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord. 20 Therefore, ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.’ 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Romans 10:19 above says, “give place to wrath,” or make room for God’s wrath. We can get in the way of God’s vengeance and repayment if we remain angry and vindictive. Some of their coals of fire may hit us instead.
God’s love manifests as wrath as He destroys all that opposes His people or His love. When we are called upon to cooperate with His loving wrath, His love in us will also provide the power, strength, and wisdom to carry out His perfect will in the matter faithfully. With no malice or evil in our hearts, we will always wait upon God and do only what we see Him doing or saying to us.
THE WALL BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS IS COMING DOWN
As the people of love and light flow out into the world, the darkness is invaded by love and light. Positions of influence in the dark world will be taken over by God’s people to destroy the works of darkness and unlove with love and light of God.
God will strengthen and embolden His people with supernatural and immeasurable natural power and wisdom to release all of heaven to restore the world to His kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
PRAISE GOD ALWAYS! WORSHIP GOD WITH ALL THAT IS WITHIN US!
Continually commune with Him until we no longer exist apart from Him.
Allow His heart to be our heart that He may fully live and love in us in supernatural life.
