THE
WAY OF LOVE
By
Ron McGatlin
The beauty of holiness flows from Jesus penetrating,
purifying, and filling our being with His pure holy love. Our hearts are melted
and our lives emptied of self. We are undone in His presence of all-consuming love.
Everything within our souls that is not of Him is dissolved in the powerful
pure white fire of His passionate love.
Joy is so intense that our emotions are exploding with
adoration for the majestic King of Glory with us, the one who loves and loves and
loves us. All natural life seems to pull away in the moment of our entrance
into the place of His presence with us. What else can we do but follow Him wherever
He leads. What else can we do but serve Him in any way He desires. His will has
completely become our will as we yield to the filling of our being with the
love and life of the King of glory, the one desire of our hungering hearts.
(Psalm 24:7).
Healing is in His presence.
The accusations and rejection of those we loved who have
turned against us no longer hurt us. The corruption and tragedies of the world
are far from us. All pain from the wounds of past life are no longer with us.
The draw of the temptations of the past are of non-effect upon us. The need to
be respected and accepted of man is completely evaporated by the love in His
all-consuming presence. The tears from our painful past are washed away in His
presence. (Rev 21:4).
Forgiveness for any and all who have ever harmed or hurt
us is easy and effortless. The substance of His pure love assures our hearts
that there is no lack in His ever fulfilling love in His presence. The precious
love of King Jesus is forever with us in the Holy Spirit of His presence now
and forever. His pure love is always fresh and new. His presence is never stale
and never fades.
Loving God and His people becomes the joy of our lives,
and loving our enemies is effortless in the ecstasy of the presence of Christ
Jesus, Yeshua Messiah, our Lord, Savior and King.
The devil and the fallen world cannot understand the love
of God in us.
The world hates us because they perceive the pure holy
love in us as an evil threat to their life of darkness and self-seeking evil
desires that is in them from their father the devil. (John 8:44).
Even many religious Christians who are infected to some
degree with the ways of the fallen world and filled with religious form and
rituals cannot understand the pure holy love of His presence in us. In an
effort to make themselves feel better about themselves and to defend their
doctrines, they may search relentlessly for some flaw or past sin to use to
condemn and discredit our character. Any shred or appearance of a shadow that
they can find becomes blown up way out of proportion to use as accusation for
deformation for those who abide in the presence of God’s love. If they cannot
find any thread of evidence to use for accusation they will invent something
out of their own hearts and use that to discredit us and affect other seekers to
turn them away from the presence of God. Some of the most effective enemies of
the real kingdom of God can be those of our own household. (Mat 10:34-39).
Religious people without the loving presence of Christ
Jesus in the Holy Spirit can be deceived and oppressed by twisted darkness. The
enemy can come to them disguised as angels of light and deceive them. (2 Cor
11:14). They may wear any one of many different labels of the religions of the
world including Christianity. Some of the religionists claim to be
non-religious such as the atheist, agnostics, secularist, Satanist, and many other
man-made and demon inspired “non-religious” philosophies of darkness.
Boiling it all down, there is only one major distinction
of separation and that is those who truly follow Jesus and those who do not. It
is as simple as sheep and goats.
Dear friends, it is not our place to try to get people to
come into our camp or our group. The main issue is not what religious group or
camp anyone is in. The thing that really matters is whether we are truly followers
of Christ Jesus or not. IT IS THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND HIS LOVE IN US THAT DRAWS
US TO WILLINGLY LEAVE ALL ELSE TO FOLLOW JESUS.
Following Jesus is not another camp or group to join up
with. JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. HE IS THE ONLY WAY AND DOES NOT
RESPECT ANY LABELS OR GROUPS BUT TRANSCENDS THEM ALL TO INDWELL ANYONE WHO WILL
RECEIVE AND FOLLOW HIM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Jesus loves all mankind and died on a cross and rose
again to save and abide with all who will receive Him and His perfect love. In
fact, God loves the entire world including Planet Earth and all that is on it. God
so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son for the redemption and
restoration of mankind and the world. (John 3: 16-17).
All the religions of this world without the presence of
Christ Jesus are as sounding brass or clanging symbols. Anyone anywhere who
loves and follows Christ Jesus, Yeshua Messiah is a true son of the living God
Almighty. Anyone under any label who does not know and love Jesus and does not
follow Him are not sons of God and have no part with Him. These are those who
may have performed many religious works who are turned away from entering into
the reality of the kingdom of God now on earth with the fateful words of Jesus,
“I never knew you, depart from me.” (Mat 7:21-23).
Religious form without the presence of God is powerless, “Having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such
people turn away! --- Always learning and never able to come to the knowledge
of the truth, 2 Timothy 3: 5, 7.”
Christian religious form without power has its base
conceptual roots in the old covenant that was replaced or upgraded when the new
covenant in Christ Jesus was established. Under the old covenant without the
presence of God abiding within the people, they could not intimately relate to Father
God. They were given forms and rituals that showed their allegiance to God
until the blood of Jesus had fully paid the price of redemption at the cross.
The new covenant fully replaced the old by the life,
death, resurrection, ascension, and return at Pentecost of Christ Jesus our
Lord, Savior, and King to dwell within His people by the Holy Spirit of God. The
Holy Spirit is the implementer of the new covenant of the presence of Christ
Jesus in the people of God on earth. The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace,
and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Rom 14:17).
The gospel (good news) of the kingdom of God returned to
earth in Christ Jesus the King. The kingdom of God, kingdom of heaven, is fully
evident on earth in the presence of Christ Jesus in and among His people now on
earth. As the “people of His presence” increase upon the earth, so it is that, in
direct proportion, the earth is returning to the kingdom of heaven on earth.
Religion can never advance the kingdom of God. The
kingdom is advanced in the relationship of mankind with Father God in Christ
Jesus by the Holy Spirit. Kingdom advancement in the world is from within the
people of God. The overcoming, consuming glorious LOVE of God in the hearts and
souls of His people is the source of the kingdom of God / kingdom of Christ
Jesus / kingdom of heaven on earth as it is in heaven.
The end of the Babylonian style captivity of the world is
in sight.
The vast Babylonian style evil world order that has risen
up against God can and will be dissolved in the presence of God with and within
His people. As the pure holy Sons of God stand high upon the mountain of the
joy of the Lord and praise God in heaven and on earth, the authority of God is
released to destroy evil with the Love of God flowing out to a desperate world.
Because this true Body is coming forth, the dissolution
of the evil regime is at hand. The powers of darkness are now in the process of
being uncovered and fully exposed. In a fearful panic, the enemy is going all
out in an attempt to destroy all true followers of Christ Jesus from off the
face of the earth. The darkness is insanely raging and screaming forth its
madness of vileness and evil to steal and kill Christ and His kingdom from the
hearts of man on earth. In their insanity the darkness is exposed and will be
utterly dissolved in the fire of the pure holy LOVE and POWER of God coming
forth in the people of God in the generation of joy coming forth on earth.
We each have our part now in loving and following Jesus
so that our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren can inherit the
fullness of the completed work of LOVE in our world as the New Jerusalem Bride
of Christ pattern of heaven’s life reigns on earth to show forth the glory of
God to all creation.
Praise God for the glorious reality of being a part of
the generation of the realization of His presence of love and power abiding in
and among His people on earth! This is the day that the LORD has made. Rejoice
and be glad in the day that is “Miracle Made” for the “Generation of Joy.”
