1. The Last Trip Home

By Ron McGatlin

… and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Barbara and I are praying for the Lord’s provision to make a trip to Texas to be with much of my family for Thanksgiving this year. This for me is a trip back to the places of my roots where I spent most of my life and an opportunity to see many of my 34 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren that I have not seen for years and some that I have never met in person.As emotionally rewarding and nostalgic as this great gathering does promises to be, it is not a trip “home” for me.

I am reminded of the words of an old song that begins with, “This world is not my home: I’m just a-passing through,” and ends with, “I can’t feel at home in this world any more.”

While I do feel greatly at home in this world knowing that God is bringing forth His presence and maturing His sons to restore the kingdoms of this world to the kingdom of our God, I truly abide in the spiritual reality of my home in Christ Jesus. Permanently seated with Him in my heavenly home causes all of life to be as a journey always moving toward the fulfillment of the eternal rest that already now abides in me. In the Spirit, I am in rest at home in the presence of God here in this life.

We are greatly blessed to be a part of the generations that have received the promises of old which the faithful saw afar off but did not experience in their time prior to the cross. We also are a part of a generation that is becoming aware of the reality of the promises of being seated with Christ and Christ in us bringing the kingdom of God within us and flowing out to the world around us.

On this side of the cross and the resurrection, ascension, and return of Christ Jesus in the Holy Spirit to abide with us and in us, we have the potential to experience what Abraham and all the patriarchs of old could only embraced from afar.

Heb 11:13: These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Heb 11:16: But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

Probably most believers in the past and many yet today experience little if any of the reality of their heavenly life seated with Christ Jesus at the throne of God. The presence of God with us and in us is the potential for living godly lives and accomplishing mighty works of Christ. The reality of Christ in us bringing forth the kingdom of God from heaven is the potential for limitless and boundless life on earth causing the kingdoms of this world to become the kingdoms of our God.

Inexhaustible Kingdom

When we begin to think we know all about the kingdom of God, He reveals more. Our finite minds cannot fully grasp the concept of limitlessness and boundless living. Everything about natural life as we know it has limits. All natural things on earth have their limited dimensions and time or season. Every living thing in which is the breath of life has its limited strengths and abilities.

The created order and boundaries of the natural realm are set by Spirit God from the heavenly or spiritual realm. That which is called the kingdom of God or kingdom of heaven is the completely unlimited divine governmental order.

The potential provisions of supernatural power, wisdom, understanding, love, righteousness, peace, joy, and all things pertaining to life and godliness are inexhaustible in the kingdom of God. There is no end or limit to the potential of God to provide or alter anything in the natural realm. There is no force or power that can limit or prevent God in any realm of natural existence. Only God can limit Himself in providing or changing anything in the natural world

All of the kingdom of God potential is conditionally available to all mankind. Created in the image and likeness of God, human beings were originally made and now through Christ Jesus completely restored with the capacity to bring forth the kingdom of God potential to govern the abundant natural resources of Planet Earth.

Every tribe, city, or nation has the conditional potential to bring forth and experience the kingdom of God on earth. Collectively the nations of the world have this same God-desired conditional potential to bring forth the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. Christ Jesus in whom all the fullness of God dwells has fully redeemed the potential and is the way of the kingdom of God on earth.

AMERICA AND ALL NATIONS OF THE WORLD, YOUR STRENGTH IS IN THE ONE TRUE GOD.

The immeasurable inexhaustible strength of the kingdom of God will never be defeated and will never stop moving toward fulfillment in the world working through any nation that is truly set apart to God.

Psa 33:11-12: The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

Keep on pursuing love. It never fails
and His kingdom never ends.

Group Takes D.C. Marriage Battle to Supreme Court - 10/14/2010
A faith-based coalition is taking its push for a vote on gay marriage in Washington, D.C., to the Supreme Court. "The decision from the D.C. Court means those living in D.C. are denied the right to vote on this issue." The district legalized same-sex marriage in December, and the law went into effect in March.

Organizers expect the Africa Prays for America event to draw some 50,000 believers to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., Saturday. ASLPN leaders say the United States has been sending missionaries to Africa for centuries and now African Christians want to return the favor.

Akure, Nigeria Crusade 70,000 first night - 10/13/2010
Many thousands responded to the altar call. After praying for the sick we heard a small sampling of the many miracles that Jesus did tonight. Among those healed was a young man who had received a knee injury playing football months ago. He had not been able to move the leg without terrible pain, but tonight Jesus healed him. He could squat, run and even jump without pain. Read On: http://archive.openheaven.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=34426&a mp;a mp;a mp;PN=1&TPN=1

An indictment means there is sufficient evidence for trial. Chris Amyx is charged with the first-degree murder of Jonathan Schipper. They were both students at Mid-Atlantic Christian University. Amyx, a part-time cop, said it was self-defense, but investigators are calling him a liar. Officers found pills for schizophrenia and depression in the accused murderer's room.

Christian Camp Punished for Not Booking Homosexual Conference - 10/12/2010
There are many other places "Way Out" could have chosen as the site of a conference. But they zeroed in on Phillip Island Adventure Resort, run by the Christian Bretheren. Judge Felicity Hampel says the homosexuals were hurt and "compensation is appropriate." The Christians must pay $5,000. This could set a precedent, unless there's a successful appeal.

Over 500 People Attend Hearing on Christian Flag in City Park - 10/12/2010
Over 40 people spoke at the meeting in King, North Carolina, all of them wanting the flag put back up. If the disgruntled resident who threatened legal action from the ACLU was there, he kept to himself. City officials relunctantly took down the flag a few weeks ago. One option they're considering is selling the land to a private group that would be free to fly it.

Faith-Based Prison Dorm Setting Women 'Free' - 10/11/2010
The sound of praise and worship can be heard behind the gates of the Dr. Layne Murray unit at the Gatesville Maximum Security prison. For the women behind bars at the prison, worshipping God is a whole new way of life. Most of those serving time here have never known real love; only a life of drugs, violence and sexual abuse.

New Barna Report Examines Diversity of Faith in Various US Cities - 10/11/2010
There were some surprises -- even in the least "Christianized" cities, three out of four people call themselves Christian. Also, some generally recognized "facts" were confirmed -- the south hosts many of the nation's Christians. It turns out weekly church attendance is highest in Birmingham. And San Franicsco has the largest share of unchurched adults. Read On: http://archive.openheaven.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=34400&a mp;a mp;a mp;PN=1&TPN=1


Federal Agencies Raid Christian Ministry - 10/10/2010
Two federal agencies, backed up by state and local police, swooped down on a peaceful Rhode Island ministry, like Eliot Ness busting up one of Al Capone's Prohibition-era breweries.

Kentucky Ministry Takes Church to the People - 10/9/2010
Servant's Heart doesn't hold a traditional Sunday service and doesn't consider itself a church. Instead, the Assemblies of God mission is taking ministry to residents in a low-income community.

Where the Pastors Are Fearless - 10/9/2010
Fifty pastors get down on their faces to cry out to God, then go out on the streets to face the evil. These ministers aren't worried about losing their nonprofit status by "being political."
