Love’s Garden
of
Righteousness, Peace, and Joy

By Ron McGatlin

This season in which we now live probably has a much more profound historical significance than most people recognize. Only with Holy Spirit enlightenment and revelation can we begin to really know what God is doing and thereby more fully understand the times in which we live.

There are now at least two distinctly different levels of God’s intervention and working with mankind.

God’s love is like a magnet. The love of God is a force that draws some but repels others. When God’s love comes near people of one polarity, there is a strong drawing to God and then to one another. However, if the love of God in the Holy Ghost comes near people of the other polarity, they are instantly repelled.

When the power of God’s love carried by the Holy Ghost comes near a group of people, there will be two distinctly different reactions. Those with a polarity of humble emptiness and spiritual hunger are drawn to God and His love. Connection is made and an impartation of love, righteousness, peace, and joy along with power and wisdom flowing into them.

Others with a polarity of pride and fullness who are not hungry for God are repelled by God’s love. Separation takes place and an impartation of deception begins to rule the life of the person. Turning away from the manifest presence of God’s love in the Holy Spirit will always open the door for deception.

In a secular or religious environment where there is NOT a strong presence of God’s love in the Holy Spirit, there will be an atmosphere of natural thinking and natural relationships. The natural relationships may or may not be religious in nature. The people may know about God and seek to serve Him. In this environment the people of both polarities can function in a somewhat peaceful cooperation.

However, when an increased intervention of the manifest presence of God in the Holy Spirit pours out pure holy love over the entire group, the drawing and repelling will begin bringing a separation among the people who have different polarities.

Those who are repelled cannot see their lack of love and usually strongly believe that the other group has been drawn away into gross error by strange spirits. Being apart from the strong presence of God in the Holy Spirit, they will receive strong delusions that open them to cunningly devised deceptions. Their deceptions seem so much like the truth that it is difficult for many to discern what is really going on.

Supernatural power will work with the deceived people doing miracles that draw large crowds that will follow after them into the same strong delusions. This is the highly visible false revival type atmosphere that further makes room and provision for the darkness and perversions of this season. This is a devious counterfeit of the real outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the love of God bringing the miracles of Christ Jesus to the world. Many people are further driven from the real when the counterfeit is uncovered. Without the pure love and guidance of the Holy Spirit, they will see all works of miracles including the true works from God as part of the counterfeit.

2 Thessalonians: 2: 9-12: The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

There is also another part of those who have received strong delusion that are the ones stuck in the mud of dead religion. They are just as deceived as the counterfeit miracle working crowd pleasers. The stuck in the mud group go through their religious rituals and ceremonies while allowing every form of sinful worldly perversion to take over the minds of the people. They proclaim peace while the enemy takes their lives and their children’s lives, and there is no peace (Jeremiah 6:14).

God’s answer to all this is to send an untouchable undercover Holy Ghost intervention.

This intervention is unseen and untouched by the deceived religious and secular groups that have locked themselves into the strong delusions. They cannot even see the real move of God gliding in beneath the darkness imparting the pure holy love of God that implants the whole council of the truth of Christ Jesus alive and well in a people consumed by the love of God in the Holy Ghost.

In small groups in secluded places, the presence of God fills the hearts and lives of the people. In seclusion unseen be the marauding masses, miracles of healing of every sort and miracles of provision in the glory of His presence are happening. Also as the people go out one by one and two by two the undercover miraculous works of God are with them. Mercy and grace are carried to all who God directs them to minister to among those they encounter in their daily lives. Loving, humble leaders are raised up among the people without the fanfare of man’s hands but ordained by the hands of God for the work of assisting people into the reality of Christ Jesus in and with them by the Holy Spirit.

God is love, and God is Spirit. When the Spirit of God descends upon a person or a gathering of people, love permeates them. The spiritual liquid fire of God’s perfect love fills and saturates everything under His Holy Spirit canopy of love.

Spirit God imparts the pure love of His life into our spirit making our spirit and His Spirit to become one Spirit.

We are spirit-beings who live in a body and have a soul. Our spirit-being receives Spirit God and becomes the life of God in our bodies.

We become His love, His righteousness, His peace, and His joy. Sin becomes a foreign concept as our life becomes one with His life.

Our wellbeing is no longer determined by natural circumstances. We are spirit beings alive in the Spirit of Christ, and the Spirit of Christ is alive in us.

Spirit reality is greater than natural temporal reality. The natural was made and consists by the Spirit. Ruling and reigning with Christ is God’s Spirit abiding in and becoming one with our spirit. What Christ believes and does in our hearts is greater and more powerful than created reality. Creation is affected by and ordered by the attributes of Christ Jesus in His body on earth.

In our designed and fully restored state, we are the Body of Christ, the temple of God on earth – a place for Him to abide and interact with the natural world to bring forth His plan and will for Planet Earth and all that is upon it.

All the evil disobedience and rebellion against God and His perfect plan for Planet Earth must be dissolved. Myriads of powerful holy angels are released to work with those in whom Christ fully abides in cleansing the earth of all that opposes God and in bringing forth His love garden of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

There is no doubt whatsoever that God in man is releasing the rule of love on earth to replace the defeated rule of evil in this world.

Once again, as in the Garden of Eden, the beautiful world ruled and ordered by God’s love will show forth His glory in perfect righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. This world will be a showplace to all creation of the King of Glory. All of this is planted in the hearts of God’s kingdom people and will never stop until it is fully established in the everlasting glory of God.

There is no end to the increase of His kingdom that is coming forth like a garden full of seed underground awaiting the springtime to grow forth and fill all the earth with its fruit. This move of God is the sprouting of the seed of the kingdom of His love underground. The living seed that is fully alive and vibrant with the fullness of Christ and His kingdom. This is the big one – the unseen work that will suddenly arise in the glory of God beyond the cataclysmic cleansing judgments of all that lifts itself against God

The fire of God’s love will destroy all that is of the deceptions of the above ground counterfeit works. The Lord will make it clear that He never knew those that are proud and filled and have no hunger for Him (Mat 7:21-23). Every tree that God has not planted will be cut down.

Presumption is not faith but a certain sense of human entitlement that demands of God. It leads to the delusion that man’s control of his own destiny is a good thing and that all is well. God will often allow what the person or group has presumed to come to them but not for their edification. On the contrary, it will be for their ruination. Their presumptions upon the promises of God without the process of cleansing and obedience will only lead to more delusion and eventual dissolution.

The same fire of God’s love fills, sustains, and empowers those who are humble, empty of self, and hungry for God and His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

The intervention of God has begun in the visible world in the cleansing judgments of God. And at the same time, under the cover of the darkness, the invasion of the Holy Ghost is intervening to complete the humble and hungry people of God. The pure holy love of God in the Holy Ghost is empowering and establishing the humble mature sons and daughters as seeds of God’s kingdom to replenish the earth with the glory of God.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit – Gal 5:25.

Live in the Spirit, Walk in the Spirit,
