MYSTERIES UNVEILED – Ron McGatlin
Through intimate relationships with God, mysteries that have been hidden for ages are being revealed or re-revealed in this season of falling in love with God through worship in the manifest presence of God by Christ Jesus with us in the Holy Spirit.
The narrow way into the pure love relationship with God is fully open to commune in perfect love through Christ Jesus. The great mystery of the ages is the reality of us truly being the Body of Christ on earth, doing the works of Jesus to establish the kingdom of God on earth.
We as individual beings are no longer existing as natural people seeking a distant God with the hope of His coming to be with us in this world, or our being fully with Him after we die and go to heaven.
To natural-minded Christians, God in Christ is far away in heaven. It seemed we knew about Him, and an essence or shadow-like whisper of Christ was with us in this life. However, the real power of God to establish the kingdom of God on earth would only be here when He returned in the same body that He lived in when He walked on earth over 2000 years ago.
Christ Jesus, the Son of God, the Word of God made flesh on earth, now seated in heaven, and we seated with Him, while He is with us and in us on earth, is a great mystery among the many mysteries in the Bible. We are in Christ and Christ is in us. (John 1:1,10) (Romans 8:1) (Colossians 1:27).
These and many other biblical mysteries are only discerned by the Spirit. They are revealed to our spirit in an intimate relationship with Spirit God. In the Spirit, connecting one-on-one, conversing, and communing with Spirit God. Attempting to understand the written word of God with only the natural mind is a sure way to lack of truth, error, and disorder with God and heaven’s ways.
The minds of fallen mankind are veiled by the god of this world, “whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.” 2 Corinthians 4:4. “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14.
The spiritual reality of God and creation is not understandable or reasonable to the natural mind or spirit of man, without the indwelling Holy Spirit of God and Spirit Christ within us.
We must be returned to our original state as created Sons of God, as spirit beings in the image and likeness of Spirit God in a created earthly body. Adam was created a Son of God, and communed with Spirit God daily in the Garden. It was natural for Him as the only way of life known to Him until he entered into disobedience and was separated from loving communion with God.
THE FALL, REDEMPTION, AND RESTORATION
All mankind was in and as Adam. All human beings have been multiplied from the seed of Adam. Adam was the Son of God on earth. All was lost at the fall.
Jesus, the Son of God was Spirit God with Father Spirit God in heaven as One Spirit God of all creation. God Himself Fathered a new Seed in a virgin girl, and a New Adam or Son of God was born a living human Sacrifice to redeem and restore all that was lost in the fall of the first Adam. The anointed and appointed Christ Jesus, Son of Father God, in perfect oneness with Father, lived and demonstrated the perfect life of God in an earthly Body.
Christ Jesus, the perfect Son of God, took all punishment for all evil in all mankind upon Himself and was brutally crucified to redeem all mankind for all time.
As His blood spilled out upon the soil of the earth, the ultimate sacrifice was completed. The price for all disobedience and disorder of mankind was finished.
The way was opened for the redemption of all and the restoration of the kingdom of God to fill the world with the righteousness, peace, and joy of heaven on earth.
THE EMPOWERMENT AND GUIDANCE
Jesus overcame death and rose from the dead, and was seen by over 500 people and all the Apostles. “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-6.
Jesus, Son of God, and Savior of the world, born from the seed of God in a virgin, son of mankind, arose from death to walk among His people for forty days and plant more seed of the kingdom of God.
On the day He was taken up to heaven, He gave His people instructions before ascending back to heaven from which He had come.
Acts 1:2-5: Until the day in which He was taken up, after He, through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. 4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, ‘which,’ He said, ‘you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.’”
Jesus, in His earthly body, was speaking these instructions to remain in Jerusalem for the saturation, infilling, or baptizing of the Spirit of God, which includes the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit. Through or in HOLY SPIRIT, the presence of Christ Jesus and Father God are in and with His people.
Jesus had previously told His disciples that He was going away but returning to them unseen by others. He said that I am now with you, but shall be in you. John 14:10-11, 17-20, “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. !! Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me.” – In verse 17-20, speaking of Holy Spirit Jesus said, “…the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. 19 ‘A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
After He ascended in His Spirit Body to the throne of God in heaven and returned as the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit, the reality of Spirit God Himself alive in His people to empower and guide in the establishment of the kingdom of God, Kingdom of heaven on earth as it is in heaven. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. John 14:12-14.
ASCENDING TO DESCEND WITH HEAVEN FOR EARTH
A God empowered transition from natural human experience to spiritual God, miraculous creational reign from beyond the created state to the creator state of mature sons of God as Christ in this world. Portals of complete, all-consuming love worship beyond all dreams or imaginations that cleans our spirit, soul, and body as if a death and awakens us as a new holy son of God. There is no past life; our life no longer exists. We enter into an ascended life in God, far above any natural living.
Heavenly fountains of all-consuming love worship are opening to ascend into Spirit God reality of heaven. The trumpets of God are sounding. This is not just lifting us for a season, but a new life of becoming one with God. It is a putting on of eternal Christ in a moment. Truly, this mortality is putting on immortality. (1 Corinthians 15:50-54.)
This is the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven, come to earth, the manifestation of the heavenly New Jerusalem, the fullness of the Bride of the Lamb consummated in marriage. (Revelation 21.)
Love never fails and,
His kingdom never ends.
