Heavenly Treasure

By Ron McGatlin

The heart of Father God rejoices as many are discovering some of the vast treasures of heaven available now in this life on Planet Earth. The abundance of heavenly provision in Christ Jesus can fill our lives with intense inner joy and a strong sense of satisfaction and wellbeing.

 Unspeakable love beyond comprehension is pouring abundantly and freely into our being - our hearts melt in His presence. Our entire life is in Him. Our greatest desire is to give ourselves – all of our love and devotion to honor and magnify Him with all that we are and all we have.

Darkness flees from us and our foolishness cannot remain. We are truly made holy as His love purifies our every motive and thought. There is no guilt or shame and nothing causes us to languish. We are truly made complete in Him and have no need for more. The heavenly provision of Christ in us is more than enough and overflows from our lives to the world.

This is only a portion of the kingdom of God heavenly treasure that is available in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit. However, the glorious heavenly treasures are hidden from those who have turned their hearts away from God and have become slaves to other gods. Jesus spoke a parable of natural treasure hidden in a field. When a man finds it he sells all that he has and buys that field.

When we discover the real kingdom of God lifestyle, it is reasonable to sell all else to fully partake of the life of Christ Jesus in us. The peace and joy of the Lord is beyond happiness and exceeds understanding. It is reasonable to become living sacrifices and be transformed by renewing our minds to a kingdom of God mindset.

Secular or religious minded people would pay a fortune to have complete peace and real joy in their inner being. Vast amounts of money are spent on prescription drugs, illegal drugs and alcohol in an attempt to have a very brief time of peace and elated feelings. Fortunes are made and spent striving to be free of worry, fear, guilt, insecurity, striving, anger, pain and many other feelings of lack and need. People without God are driven to strive to fulfill an insatiable hunger for acceptance, inner peace, satisfaction and significance in life.

Just as Father God rejoices that many are finding the heavenly treasure, there is also great sadness in His heart because of the multitudes that have turned to other gods. A very devious enemy has stolen the hearts of the people of the world through very cunning deception.

From Treasure to Trash

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Yet the name of Christ Jesus, Messiah, Son of the Living God, the Treasure of Heaven is being trashed, done away with by secular institutions and governments.

The awesome opportunity for real heavenly life on earth is being wasted by most of the world. The potential of living on earth in real righteousness, peace and joy in union with the God of ultimate glory is being ignored and lost by the masses including many Christians.

The name of Jesus the Lord, King and Savior has been ridiculed by secular educators of higher learning systems for decades. Subsequently their students have become teachers and retrained the masses by educating generations of children through secular systems and mass media of every form, especially entertainment. The adult children of this godless educational venture are now systematically carrying out their goal of removing Jesus from every area of life and culture.

This diabolical strategy covertly moved into the lukewarm Christian educational systems as well. Jesus the supernatural Son of God and the Spirit of Christ in the Holy Spirit were marginalized, defamed and replaced by watered down religious forms and systems. The theology developed by these compromised systems left opening for religious spirits to infiltrate and function.

Flesh (self gratification) became king and spirits of lust, greed and every form of evil degradation inflamed the flesh and elevated flesh kings and queens to rule the people.

Deceptive false religions of the world have seized the opening to fill the vacuum of spiritual substance with demonic religious tyranny. The supposedly religious neutral and tolerant secular systems of western governments and societies are being seduced, intimidated and infiltrated by anti Christ tyrannical eastern religious spirits. The high places of society and governments are infected with these spirits. From the high places cunning strategy is progressively neutralizing the power of the people to make free choices.

God is Lifting a Standard

Christ Jesus is that standard. When He is lifted up in His pure hearted kingdom people He will draw multitudes to Himself. God will have a kingdom people who will so live and demonstrate the reality of the kingdom of God that many will find this hidden treasure. They will quickly sell out their past lives for the perfect pearl of Christ Jesus and His provision of glorious life in the kingdom of heaven lifestyle.

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