Are We Ready For More Glory?
Ron McGatlin
The manifest glory of God is all consuming. The ecstasy of His holy presence transports us into an elevated sensation of bliss and delight that may rapture us from self focused living and leave no room for anything that is not of God. The glory uncovers and consumes our darkness and exposes the spirits behind the motivations of our lives.
The presence of light exposes that which is covered by darkness. The presence of pure love exposes that which is not pure and is not love. Counterfeits and fake facades are revealed - hidden agendas are uncovered in the pure love of His glory. Doctrines of demons carried forward by the traditions of man will be further uncovered as glory increases.
Are we really ready to see and to deal with the stuff that more glory will expose? Are we at the place of selling all that we have of the past to receive the greater glory and purity of love and humility? Are we really ready to possibly loose our position of human ordained headship to receive the one true head? Are we willing to release the incomplete and fallacious doctrines which will be exposed by more manifest glory?
We may not know nearly as much as we once thought that we knew. But the more love we are saturated in - the more His glory consumes us - the less important knowing becomes. Becoming and being is far more important that learning and knowing.
The manifest glory can take us to a much higher place - soaring into heavenly living - filled with Christ - His pure love and power and humility. We can become the New Jerusalem lifestyle but we will not enter defiled with the scent of Babylon yet upon us.
We have only begun to see the great and terrible results of the manifest glory of God from heaven on earth. Heaven is opening now and it is time to be changed - time to clean out the basement - time to make room for the new.
Who Will Lead Us?
Ron McGatlin
Come away with me my beloved.
Now, and as intense as ever before, the Spirit is calling those who will arise and come away with Jesus our beloved King. The Father longs for His children. The family of God is coming together in love and great joy of communion in heavenly realms. There is an effectual door open to those who will come apart from the world and its religions to enter into the eternity of bliss in realms of glory.
Fellowship groups who come together to fellowship around natural things, natural events, and even a specific doctrinal view are missing the reality of the joy of heaven come to earth. There is no sweeter thing this side of heaven than a group who sincerely fellowship with God in the Spirit together.
As much change is coming forth many are leaving traditional churches and ministries. Largely these people are running to get away from something that has now been seen that was not seen by them previously. They are not wanting to abandon God but they feel they must abandon the mixture of wickedness that is being exposed.
There is a rapidly growing need for leadership to assist the sometimes wounded and often disappointed people who are coming our of something but aren't yet sure what they should be going into. The temptation is to again seek the human ordained type leadership to set up a network and take over as their head. This is not God's plan and will lead to further disappointment in the future.
We must embrace the new order of God coming forth to make Christ and only Christ head. As the Holy Spirit is forming Christ in his people through true communion and intimate loving relationship with Him the headship of Christ is coming forth. The people who look for a man to lead them must find THE MAN who is the head. The corporate Christ must arise in every group. Christ must be allowed to arise in the people of God not in a pulpit or one man leadership.
When you feel the need for a leader, become one - become a part of the corporate Christ formed by the Holy Spirit in your group - stir up and release the gifts within you. Come away with Him and spend your life in intimate communion with Him and you will become who you are and will have no need of a man to lead you but will in His love be a part of the reflection of Christ - the corporate Christ - the true head of the the called out ones (the church).
Song 2:10 My beloved spoke, and said to me: "Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.
