Stepping
Into the Heavenly Realm Now
By
Ron McGatlin
In this season, God is within and among His people. The
reality of the kingdom of God is coming forth in the hearts and lives of those
with ears to hear. Therefore, there is now an opportunity before us to step
into life of the Spirit beyond where we have walked in the past.
The power of the Spirit to rule over all natural life is
coming to light enabling God’s people to become the true sons of God that we
were designed to be from the beginning. The Spirit power to restore the world
to the Garden of Eden, the kingdom of heaven life on earth, is now before us by
the Spirit of God.
Natural things that are seen with natural eyes were not
made by things that are seen but by that which is unseen. The heavenly realm of
God from which all creation flows into existence is the Spirit realm that
cannot be seen with the natural eye. “By faith we understand that the worlds
were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen
were not made of things which
are visible.” (Hebrews 11:3)
All tangible matter on earth consists of energy from
Spirit God and is an arrangement of what we call atoms made up of energy in the
form of protons, electrons, and neutrons that are alive with energy and movement.
That which appears to be totally dormant, without visible signs of life, is
actually alive with moving energy and design from God. “For
by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or
powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And
He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” (Colossians 1:16-17)
The creation flow from Spirit God is living Spirit
substance of love, energy, and design that becomes materialized as creation of
both that which is seen with natural eyes and that which is only seen with
spiritual eyes.
Natural living beings have breath in them. They partake
of the elements of earth and have movement and some level of understanding and/or
programed patterns of life and reproduction within themselves. Spirit beings do
not have natural breath in them and normally are unseen by natural eyes. Both
natural beings and spirit beings emanate from Spirit God as created beings.
Therefore since every created living being is made from
Spirit, there is a spiritual unseen pattern or image from which it is made.
That image is presented in every cell of the being in what we call its DNA.
The God-Man Connection
Only one species of created being, mankind, has the God-designed
ability as a spirit being to live in a natural body and therefore function in
both the natural realm and the Spirit realm. Thereby, only mankind has the
designed ability to fully relate to the Spirit realm of God and heaven and at
the same time to fully relate to the natural world as children of the God of
all creation. As a designed child of God with the Spirit breath of God within, mankind
has special creative authority and ability to affect all creation on earth.
All of God’s original creation fit together and functioned
perfectly until mankind in Adam chose to use his God given authority as a child
of God with a free will to break from God’s covenant of perfect order of unity
and function of creation on earth. The act of breaking from the design of God is
called sin and should have never been done by a human being endowed with the
image and likeness of God.
Mankind in Adam was given dominion authority of choice
and a free will with which to love and obey God. However, the bad choice of Man
to sin broke the contract of sonship with God and has had a devastating effect
on all of the created world.
A NEW CREATION
Once the design was broken it took a brand new creation
of man that was not of the first Adam to restore the place of man on earth. Only
through a new linage apart from Adam could man again become the full child of
God and reestablish the broken design of God for planet earth.
A New Man was born of a virgin by the implanted seed of
God by the Holy Spirit of God. Jesus, Yeshua, Savior, Messiah was born a pure
holy seed of God, a new Man, the last Adam. In Christ Jesus the first born Son
of God, the broken design is fully repaired.
All human beings born in the linage of Adam are broken
under sin and do not possess the status of a true unbroken child of God. They must
be BORN AGAIN and become a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus to become a true son of
God. In Christ Jesus, mankind can be fully restored to the original state of
the image and likeness of God with the breath of God within just as Adam was
before sin broke the design of God. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he
is a new creation; old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
The born again new creation person no longer is tied to
the DNA of the first Adam but has a new Spirit DNA of Christ Jesus. Literally
the life of the new Man Christ Jesus flows into our natural being by Spirit God
and transforms us into a new person, a new creation in which God lives and
reigns in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit of God. “Jesus
answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you,
unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” (John 3:3)
There are two basic kinds of human beings in this world.
Those that are of the first Adam and those that are of the Last Adam, Christ
Jesus. Jesus has the unbroken DNA of Father God. If we abide in Christ Jesus
and He lives in us by the Holy Spirit, we are no longer broken and are now true
sons of Father God, joint heirs with Christ Jesus, born not of flesh and blood but
born of the Spirit of God Almighty.
The kingdom of God abides within the Sons of God in whom
Christ Jesus fully dwells by the Holy Spirit. When the people of earth have
become the unbroken new creation people of God in Christ. Then the whole earth
and all that is on it or in it will be fully redeemed and the old broken earth
will be a NEW CREATION just as people in Christ Jesus are a NEW CREATION. The
curse of sin and all that it has done to kill, steal, and destroy the kingdom
of God on earth will be dissolved, and the whole earth will be returned to the
unbroken perfect design of God as it was in the Garden of Eden before the fall
of mankind in the first Adam.
THE KINGDOM WITHIN
The garden kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven is
now alive and well within the forerunner kingdom people of God. Though much of
the old world may be perishing in the cleansing judgments of God, the pure holy
reality of the kingdom of God from heaven keeps our hearts and minds in perfect
righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Even in the midst of the storms of cleansing judgments
removing the “tares,” the glory of the manifest presence of God continues to
grow by faith to overcome the darkness within and around the pure-hearted holy
kingdom sons and daughters of God, and the kingdom of God continues to grow
unseen by the people who love darkness. As the brightness of even two or three
gathered kingdom people shines forth into the gross darkness, there are those
who have a spark of life within that will see the light and arise from their
darkness to come to the light.
“Therefore as the tares are gathered and
burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.
The Son of Man will send out His angels, and
they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who
practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will
be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
THEN THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN IN THE KINGDOM OF THEIR FATHER.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” (Matthew
13:40-43)
As multitudes of individuals come to the light of the
kingdom, they are cleansed of darkness and transferred into His kingdom of His
marvelous light. The light within each one coming together grows until the
whole earth is filled with the glorious light of the pure holy nature of the
Living God on earth as it is in heaven.
“Arise, shine; for your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is
risen upon you.
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep
darkness the people; but the Lord will arise
over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your
light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” (Isaiah 60: 1-3)
This is not something to just be looked forward to some
day in the future. This is the present reality of the kingdom of God on earth
coming forth as our faith literally becomes His faith in us. What we could not
believe in the past becomes totally real and accessible now in our lives by the
faith of Christ Jesus within us by the Holy Spirit. It is all by the grace
empowerment of God fully operative in our willing hearts.
We can now live in the fullness of the kingdom of God
within by the Holy Spirit. As kings and priests in this world ruling and
reigning with Christ Jesus within us by the Holy Spirit, we become part of
restoring our portion of the world to the garden kingdom of God on earth as it
is in heaven. Christ by the Holy Spirit will guide and empower us to bring forth
the will of God in our world on Planet Earth.
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the
kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)
