1. Engulfed in Peace

By Ron McGatlin
Injustice exudes from an upside down fallen world.
The masses have had their minds inverted and their hearts darkened.
Wisdom has hidden and righteousness has departed far from them.
The shrewd and strong take from the weak and simple and no one intervenes.
They spend wildly what they do not have for what they do not need.
They trample the precious and embrace the corrupt.
They reject truth and cherish lies.
They kill their babies and pamper their pets.
They sleep with a viper and run from a Lamb.
They abandon their wives and molest their children.
They run after knowledge and turn away from truth.
Their judgment is upon their heads and they know it not.
The devourer is upon them and their time of loss is at hand.
Their leaders take them the wrong way and they do not discern.
Their sin has separated them from their God (Isa 59:2). They have turned from Him and He has given them over to perverse reprobate minds (Rom 1:28).

To have spiritual eyes and understanding is a burden. Seeing what should be and finding no way for it to be is a source of great frustration and discouragement. To see our once blessed nation crumbling and the children wasting their lives brings great pain. To see the armies of evil moving in to devour the strength of the people is sad beyond measure. However, the hardest part of all is to know the solution, to have the remedy to save the land and restore the people and be violently turned away. This is the most troubling and frustrating of all.
But take heart and be filled with courage. God is not finished yet. There is a kingdom reality manifesting now with us and before us is the righteousness, peace and joy of the glory of God on earth as it is in heaven.
In the midst of the devastation of cataclysmic events of judgments, a great light shines through on the horizon. Beyond the smoke and dust of devastation the Kingdom reigns and the glory approaches. Look up to the light and be engulfed with total peace beyond all reason and understanding. Even in the midst of great destruction your heart will be at perfect peace and rest. Warmth and comfort will supernaturally engulf your heart and life. As the light approaches, the peace of righteousness will become joy unspeakable and full of glory.
Do not dwell upon the news of death and despair. Do not set your eyes on the evil that is being dissolved but look up and set you affection on the light of our glorious KING the LORD of all and His kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy.
Keep on preaching and demonstrating the kingdom grabbing hold of those who come running out of the fire. Refresh them with the pure cool water of the Spirit and provide them a fresh clean change of cloths. Many will be saved even during the cleansing fires of judgment. Supernatural faith and peace will be graced to you to finish the work of God allotted to you. You will be engulfed in peace hidden in a cloud of His love. Set your mind on things above. Set your affection on heavenly things of Christ Jesus in the Spirit.
Col 3:2: Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
 Let your life be consumed in the Spirit. Let you daily moment by moment walk be in the Spirit.
Gal 5:25: If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Be led of the Spirit in all things and lean not unto your own understanding.
Prov 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding.
Rom 8:14: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Psa 91:7-8: A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.
Phil 4:4-7: Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:8-9: Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy; meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
Keep on pursuing love. It never fails
and His kingdom never ends.

2. Acceptable Offerings
Part 1 – Malachi 1-3
By Ron McGatlin
God is calling for purified, holy, sacrificial love offerings from His people. What offering does God require of us in this emerging kingdom of heaven era? In this season of transformation, it is vitally important to respond to God’s love with fully acceptable love offerings.
Babylonian infected religion has implanted teachings that may be as religious rocks in the otherwise good soil of our hearts. Religious rocks are those strong, hardened, but inaccurate beliefs. Erroneous beliefs can make it difficult if not impossible for the fruit of the seed of the kingdom of heaven to grow to fruition in our hearts.
What are acceptable sacrificial offerings in the kingdom of God?
What is the offering required of God from you and me? What does His love and word call for in those of us who now have the potential to live and walk in the Spirit and relate to the indwelling Spirit of Christ abiding within us?
Rom 12:1-2: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Our acceptable offering to God is ourselves - our bodies, a holy living sacrifice.

Are we individually and as the church or nation bringing to the great King, the LORD of hosts an impure sacrifice that is a blemished, sick, lame, blind, or stolen offering?

Is there a measure of the contamination of our yet being conformed to this world? Are we as an individual, church, tribe, or nation proving the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God? 
Are we an acceptable offering?
In the first chapter of Malachi, God speaks to Israel of how He loves them and has chosen them above others. He goes on to tell them that they had not properly responded to His love and dishonored Him by bringing unacceptable blemished animals as sacrificial offerings.
Mal 1:8: And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice, Is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, Is it not evil?....
Mal 1:13: You also say, 'Oh, what a weariness!' And you sneer at it," Says the LORD of hosts. "And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick; Thus you bring an offering! Should I accept this from your hand?" Says the LORD.
God makes it clear that they are cursed because they bring unacceptable offerings to Holy God the great King and LORD of hosts.
Mal 1:14: "But cursed be the deceiver Who has in his flock a male, And takes a vow, But sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished; For I am a great King," Says the LORD of hosts, "And My name is to be feared among the nations.
In chapter 2 of Malachi God goes into detail how the Priest and the people have their blessings cursed and experience great difficulties because of their unacceptable offerings and disobedience.
In Chapter 3 God speaks of the Lord whom they sought coming suddenly to His temple to be a refiner and a purifier “that they may offer to the LORD an offering in righteousness.”
We are due a great cleansing and destined to become powerful holy sons to effect cleansing and restoration to a world in great need. Our great cleansing must begin with our repentance for robbing God by not bringing the required sacrificial offering to God.
Turn to Him with your whole heart.
 Be baptized afresh in the Spirit of God.
 Let the life of Christ Jesus be formed in you.
 Set your affection upon things above.
A tithe will not do. God’s love requires our whole heart and life.
