LIVING BEYOND UNDERSTANDING – Ron McGatlin
The current world order, by all indications, is not indefinitely sustainable. There is a pressing need for a major makeover of foundational core values and systems of the world. Much of the current governance of this world is upside-down because mankind has an upside-down view of physical or natural creation above the spiritual realm. Spirit is far greater. It is the foundation and creator of the physical.
The spiritual must be recognized as the source of wisdom, guidance, and power for governance and life in this world.
Being of sound mind does not mean that we understand everything. With our limited human understanding, we can know that things exist, and we may have a lot of knowledge about their qualities. Yet we can never know everything about things. A sound mind knows that there are things beyond human understanding.
How is it that a tiny sperm from a human being has within it all the detailed coding for a living human being when connected with a human egg within the womb of a woman?
How is it that a seed planted in the ground contains a complete plant? How can the brown matter in a pecan contain all the living data of a huge pecan tree? All of its qualities, such as the shape of the tree, bark, leaf shape, and nut production for many years, are all within that small seed.
What is the process or mechanism that took place when God spoke all creation into existence? How did the substance of creation come into existence from nothing?
How can God be without beginning or end? Where did God originate from?
Science can discover and understand how things work and interact, revealing many amazing details about various phenomena. However, when science reaches the deepest level of understanding regarding its origin, it dissolves into spirit, leaving even the brightest minds without further answers.
Only Spirit God, who created everything, possesses all power and complete understanding of all things. The spiritual realm is far greater than all creation. Spirit God is the Father of all spiritual and physical creation.
God never intended man to navigate this life and fulfill His charge to have dominion in this world without Him being with us every day. Without an intimate love connection with Him to guide and empower us, we are unable to fulfill our purpose, and the world suffers.
Man’s good intentions of understanding how to order and navigate life on earth without God, with only human knowledge, are at best incomplete.
After around two thousand years of Spirit revelation for mankind, it has proven to be a failure for mankind to ignore the gravity of Spirit guidance.
COMING BACK INTO ALIGNMENT
Christ Jesus, our Lord and King, the only begotten Son of God, became a man to redeem all who believe and restore them to perfect alignment with God as man was created to be in the Garden of Eden.
God will provide us with everything needed to establish His order of life on earth. God’s order of life is His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Jesus promised to be in His people, and not just with them as He was at that time.
Jesus is the Spirit of truth.
John 14:17-18, “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.”
Matthew 16:28, “Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
Spirit Christ Jesus living in our spirit can provide wisdom and power beyond our natural understanding and abilities.
Unlimited knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and all power are within the Spirit. The Spirit contains all these things and administers them into the continuing formation of all creation.
THE MYSTERY OF SPIRIT CREATION OF THE PHYSICAL
All creation comes from Spirit God. Energy and intelligence beyond human understanding are involved in God’s process of speaking creation into existence and maintaining it.
Energy from God converts into protons, neutrons, and electrons, which form atoms that combine in specific ways to create molecules of matter that make up everything visible in the world. This is all the work of Spirit God in the Spirit realm, far above our understanding. God’s intellect and energy are always involved in the process of new creation.
Mankind is the only being on earth capable of freely connecting with both the Spirit realm and the natural realm.
We are designed to cooperate with Spirit God and align the world around us with His design and desire. We have the privilege and responsibility to steward our lives and the environment we live in. God will provide the spiritual work, and we are called to manifest it into the natural or physical, or said another way, to speak it forth in this world on earth.
We are to hear and see what He is doing and saying, and to do and speak what He is doing and saying. We are His body and His bride on earth. All the power of heaven, including holy angels, will work with us as we faithfully follow His will in all areas of life.
THE WORK OF SPIRIT GOD IN OUR LIVES
Knowledge of these things will not in itself bring these things to pass in our lives. This can only come by the Spirit through our spirit, soul, and body being filled with the Spirit of God. This is being filled with Spirit God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit. This comes from the experience of knowing and falling in love with God and walking in His Spirit.
Remaining filled with Spirit God removes all other ungodly spirits and their residue from our lives and brings us into greater health and well-being.
It involves truly giving our lives to Him, receiving Christ Jesus as LORD of our lives, asking Him to come into our heart and take over our life, and fill us with His Spirit.
It is losing our life to gain the life of Christ in us by the Holy Spirit God. Matthew 10:39, “He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.”
Communing with God in the Spirit in prayer and allowing Him to make the scripture alive to us prepares us to hear and sense His leading in our hearts and lives. All the benefits of God empower us to bring forth His kingdom lifestyle into this world, and all the world prospers in the beauty of His holiness on earth as it is in heaven.
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32.
