1. Corporate Spiritual Light

By Ron McGatlin
The kingdom of God on earth is brought forth in a corporate body with one Head, Christ Jesus.
No individual person except Christ Jesus embodies the entire light of God.
The full manifestation of Christ in the earth bringing forth the kingdom of God from heaven in His body is not all in any one human being other than Jesus incarnate. However, the fullness of Christ and His kingdom is to be expressed in His corporate body functioning in perfect unity with each part properly joined and functioning as one body with one Head.
The light of God is truth. All love, power, and wisdom from heaven is released into the earth through Truth, the Light of God. Christ Jesus is the Truth and the Light.

The Son of God releases His truth and light into every member of His body on earth. Love, power, and wisdom from heaven flow like a mighty river giving life to every member of His body. All partake of the same stream. All are nourished, but no one person alone receives it all.
Abiding together in Christ and Christ abiding in us fully connects us to the vast heavenly reservoir of love, power, and wisdom. The strength and understanding of God enables and empowers the fully connected and aligned collective body of Christ on earth to fully establish the perfect will and design of the Head, Christ Jesus – the  kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
Can we grasp and receive this astounding reality? If we can, we will become truth and light as sons of God manifesting the supernatural life of Christ in us collectively. The world greatly groans waiting for the truth and light to empower the sons of God collectively on earth. All of the power of heaven is available, and all things are possible through Christ in us. All love and wisdom of Christ in us can guide us to the glorious life of God on earth in His New Jerusalem, kingdom of heaven life on earth.
Mankind without God seeks power and exploits the world to bring more power and understanding under man’s control for human purposes apart from God. The planet is in danger through man’s continued quest for power. Nuclear accidents and waste along with massive oil spills along with other major assaults on the planet are results of man’s inordinate drive for power and threatens the life-providing systems of earth.
God’s Ultimate Power Source
All the power source of creation is available through the Spirit of Christ in His body of purified, humble, and holy sons and daughters on earth. There is no end to the increase of the kingdom of Christ Jesus. The government shall be upon His shoulders upon which the Head is perfectly joined. The Spirit kingdom of God will repair, restore, and renew the natural world to God’s original plan and design. All things will be under the feet of Christ Jesus. Both the shoulders and the feet are parts of the body. Selah.
The Clear Light of God
Like the clear natural light of the sun contains all the colors of the rainbow so the body of Christ is made up of many spectrums or parts of light. The many parts together become the clear revealed light of God. Separated like sunlight through a prism or drops of rain in the sky, the body is divided into many colors. We must become one body – one connected body of all the colors of revealed truth coming together and becoming the pure clear light of Christ dispelling all the mixture of darkness in one another.
The body will only come together as we lift our eyes from the place of our past church emphasis training and focus upon the higher reality of the kingdom of God coming forth on earth. Unity comes by our collective focus on the kingdom of God and His righteousness. The gospel of the kingdom was and is the message of Christ Jesus.
As we all lift our eyes to the kingdom, we begin to move toward one another in unity of the love, wisdom, and power of the reality of Christ and His kingdom in us. Dry bones become a living army to bring redemption of resurrection life to this groaning world. The supernatural Spirit life of God becomes natural reality of God’s people on earth and the glory of God shall fill the earth.
Focus on the King and His kingdom and come together with those who do the same, and the supernatural life of God will fill us and the world around us with His life now.

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

2. Complete In Relationship
 

I pray that Christ may make His home in your hearts through your faith; so that having your roots deep and your foundations strong, in love, you may become mighty to grasp the idea, as it is grasped by all God's people, of the breadth and length, the height and depth; yes, to attain to a knowledge of the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, so that you may be made complete in accordance with God's own standard of completeness. (WEYMOUTH TRANSLATION)

Paul relates our completeness in Christ to understanding/apprehending different dimensions/aspects of Christ in breadth and length, the height and depth. Years ago Father revealed this truth to me while studying CAD (Computer-aided design). It takes at LEAST three viewpoints (perspectives) to have a complete representation of the dimensions of a structure. In drafting; these dimensional views are the top view, the side view, and the front view.

The different members of His body also have differing perspectives and expressions of Christ that portray only a portion of the full revelation of Christ. I believe Father Has PURPOSELY withheld fullness/completeness from us individually so that in mutual love and submission to one another within the family of God we receive the fullness of Christ in the unity of the faith. ...Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ...

The fullness of the measure of the stature of Christ is even now beginning to manifest in us as we come into the unity of the faith with those God has purposed that we become joined to in the Spirit. I have come to know that as I receive insight, correction, impartation, encouragement, and truth from others in God ordained relationship, alignment, and connection; I receive of the Spirit of Christ and receive a greater measure of completion. What each has personally received can be a missing piece of the puzzle for another who needs what we have. In this unity of mutually receiving of Christ in each other there is a powerful release of His Spirit as the full revelation of His nature and authority is released in and through individuals.

FORCEFUL SPIRIT FLOW
In the early morning hours last week I received a vision of a crashing wave of water like a forceful unleashed river from a burst dam. It demolished a structure that had an outer shell like a water tower. It completely demolished the structure and I saw written as a caption below the structure the word "shell". I did not receive full understanding of this vision until sharing it in communion with two brothers from the east coast on a Skype call. 

One brother saw this as the forceful power of the Spirit unleashed as a result of the joining of the family of God in communion. I came to see it as a breaking through the shell of the manmade structures in a corporate sense, and the removal of the shell or mask of false identity we have built personally. This breaking open is both good and shocking for us as we see what is truly on the inside. What is inside will truly be exposed, released, and seen for what it is. As the shell of man's pride, self will, and false identity are being removed, so the restraints of fear and flesh that have hindered the expression of who Christ is in us are being destroyed. All that was contained within the shell that is Christ must be released to became part of the mighty rushing river. This is happening across the globe, and its powerful force will not be abated by man. 

Entering into COMMUNION (common union) in Christ with others releases fullness and Spirit flow that destroys the hardened outer shell of religion and inhibition in people. This unity that releases power is found in Christ alone, not false unity centered in organizations, doctrines or leadership structures of the past. These false sources of unity in fact ARE a shell themselves that must be demolished. Father is uniting FAMILY as brothers and sisters. This flow has begun, and will demolish the hardness of heart that religion, pride, self will, and offense has placed around the hearts of God's children.

WE ARE FAMILY
My part simply is a single part of a whole that when brought together with others in the family of our Father forms a clearer, more complete expression of Christ. I have operated for too long "on my own", and have seen how the lack of community (common unity) has kept me from receiving and apprehending more fully the Christ life I am called to. Maturity is about growth. We must recognize that spiritually growth is about receiving what we have not known. It is important to know that what others may have is NOT what we have. Fullness of understanding and life is available in God ordained and established relationships. To be sure, there is deception and falseness that all of us have to come out of, but Father has a way of removing those blinders in love. If you cling to knowledge that may be even true at the expense of relationship, you can miss the TRUTH Himself. His desire is that in unity we express the fullness of who He is in completeness as His family on earth.

In His Love

Most Americans believe they will go to heaven. Yet, when asked to describe their views about the religious destiny of others, it's a different matter.

Others have an exclusive take on faith, in keeping with the Bible. Read On: http://archive.openheaven.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=36265&a mp;PN=1&TPN=1
