HEAVEN NOW – Ron McGatlin

The light of God’s love is reforming the world one life at a time. Multitudes are hungry for the reality of life now in love with God. The supernatural reality of Spirit God is flowing the glorious light and life of heavenly love into the hearts and lives of people in this world. Love in our hearts is producing righteousness, peace, and joy with power and wisdom from heaven.

God’s love is the dominant characteristic of heaven and is present in communion gatherings with God and His people.

Maybe you have experienced moments or brief seasons of consuming love during a family or church worship gathering, in your quiet time, or on some other occasion, when a heavenly aura of love, peace, joy, and holiness filled your heart.

The spiritual atmosphere of heaven is experienced in the presence of God in our lives now on earth.

When two or three or more are gathered in the name of Jesus, in one accord, the presence of God fills the room. This is heaven coming to earth, with God and man communing as one. “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:19-20.

God is transforming us, reshaping the patterns of our hearts and souls to align with heaven and Spirit God Almighty. Holy angels often join these gatherings to assist with supernatural works of healing and deliverance or to meet whatever needs exist in the lives of the people.

We are changed forever to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the depth and duration of our willingness and cooperation with Spirit God.

Can we continue in the fullness of awareness of God’s presence beyond the gathering experience? The short answer is yes.

God never leaves us. It is our decision to walk away from the closeness of His presence. It is not literally walking away, but a shift of our minds from life in God to our natural understanding of taking care of life’s business.

Some may be thinking, “But I have to make a living and care for my family, so I have to give my attention to my work or business, to keep the money coming in.”

Yes, that is very true in the Babylonian-style world we live in today. This is the kingdom of darkness ruling the world. This is what God in Christ Jesus came to change and is now transforming in our world.

Babylon is coming to an end. The New Jerusalem, the kingdom of God, the rule of Love is coming forth on Planet Earth. (Revelation 18) (Revelation 21).

MANIFESTATION OF THE KINGDOM OF LOVE

This is too big to cover in this short article. We can only highlight some key points and summarize some of the main ideas.

Our culture has the “cart before the horse,” so to speak.

The kingdom of God in this world is God’s love ruling all life on earth. Being in love with God leads to serving Him through worship and serving His people and His world according to His will and guidance, by His strength, power, and wisdom.

He provides everything we need to fulfill His will. He supplies the mission and everything necessary to accomplish it. We want for nothing partly because we only desire what He desires. His will has become our will through love.

We are no longer working to get money, but serving God by serving His people with that which our job does for mankind. The job or business we work in provides a product or service that meets the needs of God’s people and His world. As we sow by providing, we reap and prosper, by the universal law of sowing and reaping, which supports more production facilities to serve more and all of our needs. Whether we are building houses, growing food, making clothes, teaching, or providing any other service to mankind, we are serving God by serving His people and caring for His world.

If we work to earn money to cover our living expenses and give a portion to the church, we are living under the old covenant before Christ came to redeem us. After the fall of Adam, all mankind left the communion and oneness with God and had to make a living by working hard to survive. It was also required then to bring offerings of sacrifice.

In the world today, two men could be working at the same job, one working for money the other working to serve God. The one working to serve God will advance, receive greater promotions, and could eventually own the company, while the other remains in the same place. (Matthew 6:31-33) (Matthew 25:14-27).

A TIDAL WAVE OF LOVE REFORMING THE WORLD

In the kingdom of God, all facets of life are led by God and His love through His people. God, through His people, establishes all governance or management to flow His will and purposes into the world. All education, business, governments, entertainment, worship, and all other aspects of life will be aligned with the way of God, the way of love, on earth as it is in heaven.

A tsunami, or massive tidal wave, is often directly linked to an earthquake or major shaking. An earthquake destroys all edifices that are not strong enough to withstand.

A tidal wave destroys and washes away everything that cannot withstand the force of the wave. Only the strongest and those on the highest land remain untouched.

Everything that is not of God will not remain on earth in this age of the kingdom of God, the kingdom of Love ruling on earth as it is in heaven.

We, God’s people, must now come to the higher place in God, to the strongest edifice, the “Church of the First Born” sons of God, the city of New Jerusalem, with Christ Jesus, holy mature people of God, and holy angels. We have not come to the destroying fire of God, burning all evil and destroying all on earth that is not of God.

“For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, 19 and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore. 20 For they could not endure what was commanded: ‘And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.’ 21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”

“But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, ‘Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.’ 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:18-29.

Increasingly stronger waves of Love are now and have been flowing into the world, dissolving darkness, and all that is not of God in His chosen people and the world.

This has led to, and continues to lead to, a vile retaliatory response from evil darkness. This creates a vast separation and distinction between the people of darkness and the people of God. Evil darkness is now being exposed in the people of the world and in the church to be dissolved or destroyed.

CHRIST IN MAN ESTABLISHING HEAVEN ON EARTH

Heaven is the manifested love of God. Heaven on earth is the love of God flowing through His portals, His people, filling the world with His love. God/Love filling mankind is heaven coming to earth. <Continued in part 2>

In the next part, we discuss some specific principles for our part in working with God to bring forth the practical works of Christ’s establishing the kingdom of God on earth.
