Which Voice Will You Hear? By Ron McGatlin God is speaking to His people. Hearing from God in the spiritual realm will determine our journey into our God-given destiny of life on Planet Earth. In the turbulent season of world activity that is now spreading across nations, it is vitally important to hear God clearly and to fully respond in God’s timing. Intimately relating to God and knowing His voice is the way of real life in this world. The reality of kingdom of God living now in this life is the desire and plan of God for all mankind. Receiving the deep hidden mysteries from the written word comes about through hearing by the Spirit of God. Our redeemed spirits filled with the Spirit of God are connected into the spiritual reality of communion (common union) with God in Christ. The nature of Christ and heaven’s ways become the way of life on earth for everyone who intimately relates to God – the ones who can hear with the ear in their heart. Beyond heavenly principles and concepts is the ability to hear godly wisdom and knowledge directly into our hearts from Spirit God. Knowledge and understanding that we have not seen or known in the natural can be imparted into our spirits and minds by the Spirit of God. Specific direction for our journey can be received from God in our spirits and implemented into our lives through our minds and bodies. Words are like seeds. They can carry ideas and thoughts that are living patterns of life that can sprout and grow in the hearts of human beings. The God-designed heart of man is like a fertile soil that will grow the seeds (words) that are planted (received) into it. The power of life and death can be given and received through words. Life and death are in the power of our words. Prov 18:21: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Situations and circumstances in this life can be altered and rearranged by the power of words. Words can affect and change how and what we think and believe. What we hear becomes what we think. What we think becomes what we believe. What we believe becomes what we speak. What we speak will affect what we become. What we believe in our hearts and speak with our mouths has creative, or more accurately, re-creative power to change or alter creation (Rom 10:9). Our life and destiny can be changed by what we believe and speak. What we believe and speak can be changed by what we choose to hear and believe (receive) into the soil of our hearts. A word (idea, vision, thought) from God can change us, our situation, the world around us, our nations, and the entire world if it is received and believed in the hearts of the people on earth. Life eternal and abundant is in the power of hearing God and believing what God has said. Like a planted wheat seed, there is a process of growth from the seed, to the stalk, to the head, and then the full grain in the head. Eventually the fruit is brought forth into the natural world. Thus the will of God from heaven seeded into the hearts of man is brought forth in the world. (For more on this very important kingdom key see Chapter 27, Supernatural Growth in the free downloadbook “Overcoming Life On A Small Planet.”) The enemy is also speaking to anyone who will listen. The voice of the enemy desires to plant his words (seeds) into the hearts of human beings. Like the good seeds, if the enemy’s bad words (bad seeds) are received and believed, the seeds will grow in the heart soil of man and eventually mature to change the person and the world toward darkness. His purpose is always to kill, steal, and destroy the plans, purposes, and people of God. Always when God speaks a word of life and godly spiritual plans into the world, the enemy stirs the hearts of all whom he can with negative words of accusation, doubt, and unbelief. Those who receive his negative accusative words will speak them out planting them into the hearts of others in an attempt to stop the works of God bringing forth His kingdom on earth. The enemy will viciously attack the most important issues or areas of godly potential coming forth into the world. One of His strongest attacks is poured out against the Holy Spirit and the work of the Holy Spirit. The enemy knows that the kingdom of God life on earth is only available in the Holy Spirit. He knows that when the gospel of the kingdom (good news of the kingdom) is heard and believed in the hearts of God’s people, his day of rule on earth is over. The kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Rom 14:17: For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. The enemy has used religious spirits to develop and propagate strong words that can become doctrines that degrade the Holy Spirit and cause people to despise the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the powerful supernatural manifestations that the Holy Spirit brings to transform people and the world. Holy Spirit revival that leads to kingdom is a top priority on the enemy’s list to attack with vicious accusation and every form of evil that he can use. His attempt is to destroy the kingdom of God and remove it from the earth, so that he can continue to rule the earth as long as he can. He knows he is defeated and must deceive mankind to cause us to continue to allow his inordinate rule on earth. Even many Christian people are deceived by the cunning of the enemy into coming viciously and maliciously against the moves of God upon the earth that bring Holy Spirit outpourings that empower revival which leads to the kingdom of God ruling on earth. Often the people believe they are defending the doctrines of God as they see them. Therefore they believe that they do God a favor when they discredit, defame, and persecute the people of God who are bringing kingdom revival to the land. Love Your Enemies We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against spiritual powers that cunningly deceive the people. Even those of our own household (family or church group) can become deceived agents of the enemy working against the Holy Spirit of God and the gospel of the kingdom. Eph 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. Mat 10:36: And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. Mat 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you; Rom 12:21: Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Luke 10: 27: And he answering said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. There are levels of hearing. The first thing anyone will normally hear from God will be regarding their need of a savior and the good news of Christ Jesus’ ultimate provision for their redemption. Beyond the experience of being born again spiritually in Christ there is a maturing process as we grow from spiritual babies eventually into mature servant sons of God. The growth process involves our continuing to seek God with our whole hearts and begin to hear Him by the Holy Spirit on our own. No longer are we to be spoon-fed by others. We must be properly postured to be in position to finally receive the deeper hidden mysteries of the word of God. Without receiving these keys of the kingdom, we can strive all of our lives with little real accomplishments in our lives. This is the reason why some people including many Christians always struggle and achieve very little while others with the same potential are able to accomplish major things in life. The difference always has to do with things within the person more than things without. God has provided all that is needed for every one of us to be all he desires us to be. THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM are locked up from many believers who are not yet in position to receive the life-changing and world-changing truth of what God has provided to be done in and through us. Coming into the proper position or posture to be able to receive the keys to unlock the kingdom of God mysteries and assimilate them into our lives may require a restructuring of who we are and what we believe. God will only do this work in us with our commitment and cooperation. It is all His work, but we must be postured to receive the deep hidden mysteries of the kingdom that will forever change us into increasingly profitable servants who function as kings and priests in this world. 1 Corinthians 2:6-10: But we speak wisdom among them that are mature: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nothing: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him. But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit - Rom 5:25. Live in the Spirit, Walk in the Spirit, Ron McGatlin archive.openheaven.com basileia@earthlink.net 2. Can You Hear the Sound? By Amanda Leonard Can you hear the sound of hearts returning? Can you hear the pounding footsteps of those prodigals running to His arms? Can you hear the wind of His Spirit blowing through the wheat field? Can you hear the weeping as healing begins with true repentance? Do you hear the dry bones rattling, as the breath of God is reviving? Can you hear the sound of revival stirring around the globe? Do you hear the cry of the broken, the poor, that are crying out show us the Father? Can you hear the busyness of the heavenlies? Can you hear the galloping horses riding across the great expanse? Can you hear the crackling of the fire that is melting chains? Can you hear the sound of the heavenly chorus? Listen and you will hear the trumpet resounding, declaring, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord." The time is here, the time is now. Can you hear the importance of the sound? Do you know that now is not the time to back down? Listen keenly to what I am doing My children. Tune your ear to My heart, "Can You hear the rhythm of My heartbeat? Can you hear Me saying, Don't give up, don't you know My word is true? I am saying, “I have not forgotten you." Many are feeling defeated, almost to the point of giving up. The Lord is saying stand up and move towards Me, I will fight this fight for you. Many are asking the question, will this promise ever come to pass? The Lord is saying, "Am I a God, that I should lie?" My word is truth, so walk in My grace as we finish this race. Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you, My child. Walk in the power of My Spirit and continue to speak the promises I have given you. God is asking which voice will we listen to. Will we listen to the voice of the 10 who decided that those giants were too big to take the promised land or will we listen to the voice of God who said, take the land? I believe that God wants us to take the land, the land flowing with milk and honey. The Lord began showing me just this week that we are the land. He is clearing the land (us) of all the rubbish, all the sticks, all the dead things that don't bear any fruit....and He wants to burn them away with His holy fire, so that we can be clear. We can either focus on the words of the enemy or we can listen to the voice of love, the voice of our Father. He wants to take back His 'land' (His people.) He is clearing the 'land' (us) of anything that is not of Him, so that we can flow with His goodness, His very nature. We can listen to the enemy and focus on the lies that he has spoken in our minds and hearts or we can listen to the Lord and the promises that He has given us, that His Kingdom is within us, and we now have a new nature, and the words that He has spoken will NOT return void. So I encourage each of us as we are right now going through this preparation time to completely surrender ourselves. And lean into Jesus, for we are becoming more and more One with Him. He is clearing us out and tuning in our ears to hear His voice alone, to rest in His goodness, to let His Kingdom come forth in each of us. Let it be done Lord according to Your will.
