Captivated by His Love - Ron McGatlin
Many today are both captured by His holy presence - prisoners of His love, and at he same time set free to ascend to new heights of spiritual experience enraptured into a realm of His glory. Faith has become reality as forerunners of the new day of renewal and reformation move into the deeper river of love and experience of His glory that leads us toward the reality of the kingdom of God from heaven coming forth in our lives to touch the world.
Experiencing the depth and passion of His love constrains us to pure obedience to His will. Passion motivates His forerunners to fully give up their ways of living and conform to His kingdom lifestyle.
God has always loved His people and we have had a love for God. So, you might ask, "What is so different now?" The difference is the level of intense intimate passion. God has come near and is drawing forerunner people into intense closeness with Him and increased love for one another.
Forerunners are chosen for the purpose of bringing forth the new day. This intense passionate love connection is for every one of His children. There are no elite and no hierarchy of men ruling over this new day. Yet while the new is coming forth the old is yet standing and the process of changing from the religious past to the greater reality of pure holiness in His passionate love is taking place as a forerunner people are freely selling all to purchase the perfect pearl and giving their lives to gain the field of treasure - intimate relationship with God.
2 Cor 5:14: For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
2 Cor 5:15: And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
This is not a head thing. Many Christians believe that they should not live for themselves but should live for Him. They know the truth but in reality they yet live a life mixed with carnal desires and pleasure-seeking. Unknowingly many are seeking from other gods of this world what they should have in the joy of intimate passionate relationship with God. They are missing the greatest life of all - a life laid down for Jesus and intimately connected with the Father - a life of passion in God.
The passion of the Father can become jealousy for the affection of His children. We serve a jealous God that will not forever look away as those whom He loves turn to other lovers (gods). He will do all to turn His people back toward His love. Yet, He will not violate the free will given to His people to choose to love Him. Now is the time of unprecedented outpouring of His passionate love to His people. Multitudes are being drawn by His love into the inner chambers of His heart as the Tabernacle of David is being restored on the earth.
Deu 4:24: "For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Amos 9:11: "On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old.
The presence of God is again meeting with His people in the joyful and sometimes loud worship and praise of the people of God in the Tabernacle of David. Hearts are both overwhelmed with joy and broken as deep loving intercession cries out for all of God's people to respond to His passionate love.
Lots of Love,
Ron McGatlin
