Love Dissolving Limitations (The Next Move of God)
By Ron McGatlin
For
some time now many of God’s people have been expecting another great
move of God. Prophets have been proclaiming it, often with an
accompanying statement something like this, “A great move is coming that
will bring great transformation, but we don’t know what it will look
like.” Some have heard clearly by the Spirit that this move would not be
like past moves that came like a wave and then later ebbed away. Each
move seemed to drift back where it had come from. However, each wave
left its mark upon the world. A fresh layer of restored truth and change
was left with the people of God.
The Next Move is Here Now
This
anticipated awesome move of God that will never end has begun. It is
here like a mustard seed not like a stick of dynamite. It is very small
and mostly underground but growing steadily mostly out of sight like
yeast in dough. It is totally consuming lives and changing everyone who
it invades.
However,
this everlasting move of God that will not end looks so very different
from previous moves that most people are not yet seeing it. They do not
recognize the small beginnings of this great move of God largely because
they thought it would be similar to the past moves of revivals and
outpourings.
It
is very hard, if not impossible, to adequately describe this move of
God to others. It seems that it must be experienced rather than just
hearing about it. When someone attempts to tell others, they usually
don’t seem to get it. Often they feel like and may say something like,
“Oh yes, I experienced that at (some time or place), and it was really
great.” Yet they are still looking for more of God and dealing with
strife, limitations, and such in their lives. And, yes, we may have had a
fleeting moment or taste of this. Yet, it was not totally consuming and
everlasting as it is in this work of God that has come upon us.
This
invasion of God’s love into the hearts of his people is devastating to
our past secular and religious ways. There no longer remains a desire
for receiving more of God. We are completely satisfied in His continuing
presence. Our lives are completely given away to Him, and truly we are
not our own in any way.
It seems people cannot know that they do not have it until after they get it. Then they know it was never like this before.
Simply
we are translated to a different place, and we are no longer where we
were or where we have ever been before, and there is no way back to
where we were before.
Beyond Passover and Pentecost is Tabernacles
Beyond
Passover’s wonderful salvation revivals, beyond Pentecost’s glorious
charismatic Holy Ghost revivals and outpourings, is Tabernacles’ – God
within and among His people.
Passover’s revivals were characterized by God’s mercy and grace, the cross, the ascension, and being born again.
Pentecost’s
charismatic Holy Ghost outpourings were characterized by God’s power,
healing, deliverance, hearing God, and the resurrection life of Christ
in the Holy Ghost.
Tabernacles, the move of God that will never end, is now coming upon the earth.
It is characterized by God within and among us. His presence within us
and among us is pure, holy, all-consuming love beyond explanation and
description. Our past life is dissolved in the fire of His love
consuming us. In an instant we are changed and are fully aware that it
is Christ now living in us by the Holy Spirit in this new place where we
abide. Pure holy love tabernacles or abides in and with us changing
everything.
Relationships
change, situations change, what we could not do before now seems to do
itself. God’s love is power flowing into and out from us dissolving
walls and limitations. Barriers and boundaries are dissolved
effortlessly. Our hearts and minds are cleansed as love dissolves every
need that once drove us. All strife, bitterness, fear, and any other
negative emotion or stress is dissolved in the power of His love. In the
unavoidable interactions with the abrasive and tragic fallen world
around us, we are strengthened to endure and come through unscathed in
His love.
This
move of God is completely from God inside of us. This is not a platform
or pulpit move. It is a Spirit move inside the hearts of God’s people
that is totally changing us from within.
In
the past moves, we may have thought that we were in great shape with
God and even did great works displaying natural and supernatural gifts
ministering powerfully to the people. However, in this new move, only
after this pure, holy, all-consuming love came in and cleansed us did we
realize that we had been still contaminated with stuff. When we became
cleansed in His love, we sensed the absence of all need in our lives.
This was the first time we saw what had been remaining in us. After the
stuff that had caused strife, disorder, and weakness amongst the people
left, we were able to then see that it had been there and love had
washed it away.
Our hearts are melted with the realization of His perfect love for us and in us. In
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, we are totally washed clean by
His purifying love. His pure holy love gushes into our spirits, souls,
and bodies. We are captive in His love.
False
or outdated established structures within our hearts and lives are
dissolved instantly. Man-made structures of religious, social, and
political order around us will also be eventually dissolved in this
never-ending move of God’s all powerful love. His pure, holy,
all-consuming love is transforming His people to transform the world
into the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. The perfect law of
love fulfills all law and all prophecy. All these structures will pass
away, but His love and His kingdom will never end.
In
this pure move of love, trust and faith are abundant – the heavens are
truly opened as we truly experience what it means to live and walk in
the Spirit. Access is opened to enter spiritual heaven and commute there
and back receiving of the resources of heaven to fulfill the work of
establishing God’s kingdom on earth in the hearts of His people first
and then into all aspects of the created world. All things are possible
to the pure holy sons of God abiding in Christ and Christ in us as one.
The
word and the reality of God’s kingdom on earth are further opened and
unveiled to us. Mysteries are revealed as our spiritual senses are fully
opened to experience the reality of life in the Spirit with God
continuously.
All
pretension and veils are removed from our hearts and lives. We can only
speak the truth in love. We can only do and say what we see and
experience God doing. Our minds are at perfect peace and function with
greater clarity of understanding that derives its life from the one
source of the wisdom from heaven.
Brothers
and sisters, we are in this world at this time in the providence of God
to become a part of the great move of God that will never end – the
move of His love transforming us and eventually this world to His pure,
holy, kingdom of heaven on earth.
Be
consumed and lose your lives now for the sake of the love of God in
Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit and the gospel of His kingdom. Truly
when we seek only His kingdom, all things are added to us far beyond
what we may have thought that meant in the past. As we seek His kingdom,
heaven is opened to us in this season of the ushering in of this great
move of God on earth that will never end. There will truly be no ebb.
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. (Mat 10:39)
For
whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his
life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. (Mark 8:35)
Love never fails, and His kingdom never ends.
