SPIRIT HEAVEN IN NATURAL WORLD LIFE – Ron McGatlin
During this great transition and transformation, there is an opportunity for many to respond to God’s call to come to Christ Jesus. The Spirit is drawing people away from their past life, opening the way for them to be filled with new love and life in a relationship with God through Christ. This is not a call to any religion. It is more like a calling out of religion. It is the Spirit calling people into a reality of totally real love in an intimate one-on-one relationship with God.
Many will come and avoid the worst hardships of the season of desolation described in Matthew 24, by the reality of a Psalm 91 life.
As the true gospel of the kingdom of God is preached to the nations and is received by many people, the world is further divided. Many who have believed and received the gospel of salvation, but for whatever reason, cannot receive the gospel of LOVE, the gospel of the kingdom of God, will pass on into heaven before or during the tribulation part of this transformation.
However, many others who feel threatened have become very hostile toward Jesus and His Gospel of the kingdom. The evil dark spirits of antichrist and antisemitism are driving many to hate the people and nations who seek to follow God. The evil darkness has devised a devious plan using educational and media systems across the world to pervert the minds of people, causing them to hate God and His people.
It is no longer possible to exist together with God haters in a harmonious relationship. Love can never adjust to agree with hate, and the evil darkness of hatred must be cleansed from the people by receiving the love of God and a renewed mind, or they will be removed from the made-new world.
We have come to a day of decision and separation of the sheep and the goats. Jesus Himself is making the separation of the nations and individuals.
“All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Matthew 25:32-34, 41.
Jesus goes on to explain that those who had love and cared for others, loved and served Him, and are His sheep, and those who did not are goats.
JESUS IS PREPARING A PLACE FOR US, A MADE-NEW WORLD
How shall our lives be in the made-new world of heaven on earth?
The finished product of mankind being made new as one with God and Christ fully living in us determines how we will live in the made-new world of heaven on earth beyond this transformation. Nothing that works a lie or causes an offense will enter the made-new world. “But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” Revelation 21:27.
Everything and everyone is fit together in perfect harmony of love. Nature returns to peace as destructive storms are moderated and wars cease.
Jesus came to earth to bring peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
The presence and the GLORY of God fill the earth with light and love forever.
THIS IS NOT ESCHATOLOGY
This is not eschatology or end-time theology; it is what is happening, and it has already begun, in this world. The diverse religious teachings of eschatology and the differing views of Bible commentators cause much division and separation among Christians.
The gospel of the kingdom of God/love that Jesus brought to earth raises our hearts and minds above mental interpretation, enabling us to commune with Spirit God in pure, holy love, which opens the way to the direct word from His heart to ours.
Living in communion with God, we have all that we need to know at the time, and we always know the One who has ALL KNOWLEDGE when we really need more. God will release knowledge or foreknowledge to us on a need-to-know basis.
THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE WHEN VIEWED IN HIS SPIRIT
The same passage of scripture can say much more today or tomorrow than it did yesterday, as it is made alive by Spirit God in us.
The original word given by Spirit God to men of God thousands of years ago was the direct word spoken by God to men in their own language and is truth. What they wrote could contain many levels of truth, according to the light available to the reader at the time. Another reader, at a different time with further spiritual light, may receive more or a somewhat different understanding.
Translators of the same word may read something more or different from the same original passage. The translation may reflect the time or season of the translator. Spirit God can help us receive the original truth and meaning.
THE FRESH LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD/LOVE
The light of the kingdom of God/Love, in His people, is opening further revelation of scripture. Some major teachings of the passing church age are being altered in the light of the revealed kingdom of God/Love. Major provisions of God that Jesus brought are now being revealed after thousands of years.
Mysteries hidden in darkness are now coming to light. The reality of Spirit superiority over physical has been inverted, hiding the truth from the written word of God. In this transformation of fresh Spirit enlightenment, the reality of Spirit over created substance is coming to light. Mankind in general has been so locked into the created natural substance of life that there is little to no adherence or attention focused on the spiritual reality of life.
Spirit is first and foremost of all things. All substance in and of this world is created and sustained by Spirit. SPIRIT God created and sustains all substance.
ALL SUBSTANCE COMES FROM SPIRIT AND CONTINUES EXISTENCE BY SPIRIT.
FATHER GOD IS SPIRIT – SON GOD IS SPIRIT – HEAVEN IS SPIRIT – GOD’S CHILDREN ARE SPIRIT – HOLY SPIRIT IS SPIRIT – THE DEVIL IS SPIRIT
DIRT IS SUBSTANCE – PLANET EARTH IS SUBSTANCE – WATER IS SUBSTANCE – ALL PLANTS AND ANIMALS ARE SUBSTANCE – AIR IS SUBSTANCE – LIGHT IS SUBSTANCE – A HUMAN BODY IS SUBSTANCE
Everything sensed by the physical living body is substance.
Everything sensed only by the spirit of a living spirit being is spirit.
Alive physically means being able to sense substance.
Alive spiritually means being able to sense spirit.
There is no substance unless created and provided by Spirit.
Father God is Spirit, heaven is Spirit, the throne of God is Spirit.
“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24.
Spirit Son God left Spirit heaven and was greatly decreased when He became substance as a man. He left His Spirit throne when He became created substance as a man on earth. He did not need redemption, but was filled with Spirit God at His baptism.
2 Corinthians 3:5 -18, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech—13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.”
“But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.” 2 Corinthians 4-2.
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST JESUS
Yes, there is a major event of the “coming” of Christ in power and glory in His kingdom on earth, but it probably is not like you and almost all Christians of the church age think. For Jesus to again come to earth as a human being would be another dreadful step down from His Spirit throne.
There is a “body of Christ” now on earth that has been and is being prepared as a Spirit Bride for the Lamb of God. Yes, there is a body, a bride or wife prepared for her husband. The Bride is Spirit that abides in an earthly body.
In marriage, the two, Spirit Christ and our spirit, become ONE. Spirit Christ comes when we receive Him to abide with our Spirit, becoming the Dominant Spirit or Head of the Body. Christ is on earth now in our Body that is ONE with Spirit Christ through marriage. True believers ARE COLLECTIVELY THE BODY of Spirit Christ on earth.
This is the marriage of the Lamb; the realization of Spirit Christ being joined as Head to the Body of Christ. The glorified Christ becomes the Husband/Head of the prepared Bride. The Bride is prepared and adorned for Spirit Christ Jesus.
But all of this is still not what we look forward to as the second coming of Christ!
When then is His “coming again”?
The Greek word, sometimes translated “coming,” literally means manifest or present. The real question is, when is He MANIFESTING?
The quick answer to that question is WHEN ENOUGH OF US WAKE UP TO WHO JESUS REALLY IS IN US. We stop looking for Him to come be with us someday in His substance-body instead of His living Body now on earth!
Another question: How could He be in us if He has not come back?
Oh yes, Spirit Christ Jesus did come back in HOLY SPIRIT. And the people did do the works like Jesus did when He was in His physical, or substance, body.
Because we had failed to grasp that Spirit is far superior to substance, we have assumed that a substance body would be much better and more effective than His Spirit return. However, it is true that a substance body is required to rule this world, because God has given mankind dominion over it. A living body with a voice is required to change and carry out the desires of God in this world.
Spirit God Himself, in Christ Jesus, in a multitude of people, is the perfect order and plan for the rule of Spirit God to establish and carry out the kingdom of God on earth.
Spirit Christ King Jesus returned to earth at Pentecost while remaining in Spirit Heaven on His Spirit Throne. He returned in greater Spirit power to abide within His Body on earth, redeeming and restoring the world to the kingdom of God.
THE DAY THE CHURCH IS LOOKING FOR AND WAITING ON
When, then, is the longed-for and awaited over many centuries, glorious return or MANIFESTING of Christ Jesus?
THE GREAT SO CALLED SECOND COMING – THE GLORIOUS MANIFESTATION OF CHRIST JESUS IS THE DAY ENOUGH PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT CHRIST JESUS IS ALIVE IN US TO DO HIS WORKS TO ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN THIS WORLD NOW.
All that we have waited for, all the glory, peace, love and more are manifested through Christ Jesus in His BODY on earth. This is the great second coming or manifesting of Spirit Christ in His many-membered substance Body on earth.
All this time, we have waited on God while He has been, and is yet waiting on us to believe. Only believe, and all things are possible. The great blanket of religious mixture, blinding the minds of mankind, is now beginning to be torn asunder. As truth is setting fire to this religious world. The world that was is becoming ashes, and the made-new world is coming forth.
This is much too big for any natural man to consider; only by Spirit Christ and Father God can our substance bodies endure the magnificence of these times of the Manifesting of Spirit Father God on earth in Spirit King Jesus with us and manifesting in our substance on earth.
If you cannot receive this now, PLEASE, I BEG YOU, do not set this aside or throw it away. Give God some time to bring it to light. Search it out in the Bible, asking Holy Spirit to enlighten what the Bible is saying unfiltered through past religious beliefs.
The kingdom of God is being established on earth. The gospel of the kingdom shall be preached to the whole world.
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32.
Love never fails, and His kingdom never ends.
