    The following two articles by Ron McGatlin are very good reads.   He says, “The next level to which God is calling His people is the oneness that results from knowing the Son of God in such intimacy that we become perfected spritual beings to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”  This is our prayer.  We hope it is yours as well.

    The Next Level

    By Ron McGatlin

    Crystal clear spiritual clarity comes through perfected purity and holiness.

    Perfected purity and holiness comes by the resurrected life of Christ replacing our crucified life. (Rom 6:5, Gal 2:20, Rom 6:11-13, Col 1:27)  

    The next level to which God is calling His people is the oneness that results from knowing the Son of God in such intimacy that we become perfected spiritual beings to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. God has been specifically preparing a people to become as Christ is in the world since he called Abraham out from among his people thousands of years ago. (Eph 4:13- 16, Col 1:27, Heb 11)

    Take heed and beware of the leaven… Mat 16:6

    A new level of life awaits the unleavened people of God. The leaven of religion and the cares of this life permeate the lives of believers creating a fog of darkness that clouds the crystal clear spiritual clarity preventing the full measure of the fullness of the stature of Christ.

    Provision has been made. The fullness of the stature of Christ is not an unreachable goal for this generation in this age of the maturing kingdom of God. For thousands of years, through many generations, God has been preparing a people. The Holy Spirit of God is pouring the resurrected life of Christ into emptied vessels of humble forerunners who have been purged of the leaven of religion and this world. 

    The greatest hindrance to moving into greater kingdom fullness is the dark fog of leaven or mixture that seeps into our hearts and lives from relating in a Babylonian cultural environment. Leaven or mixture is like a virus and spreads quickly and quietly by contact. Once infected it dulls our spiritual ears and eyes and then spreads from us to others by contact. The fog of mixture causes us to lack sharp clear discernment and become spiritually clumsy and slow. We become vulnerable to falling into sinful thoughts and entanglements.  Read the rest of this entry »

              Since just before August, 2008, we have been experiencing a phenomenon from the Lord.  It is one of those things that in the natural one would call coincidence.  However, long ago we learned that God often speaks through what the world calls coincidence! 

              This saga began in the summer of 2008, when Gerri began noticing certain time sequences on the digital clocks we have around the house.  For example, she would look at the clock and it would be 1:23 pm, or 2:46 pm, or 3:45 pm, or 5:43 pm, or 3:21 pm, etc.  At first she just shrugged this off and went on about her focused task at the moment.  Then shortly after this began, she began waking during the night hours and seeing the same kind of sequencing on the clock in the early morning hours. For example, she’d wake at exactly 12:34 am, or 4:56 am, or 6:54 am.  After this continued for several nights, she began sensing that perhaps the Lord was trying to speak to her through this coincidence!  She mentioned it to Roger and it began happening to him during both day and night hours.  We became convinced that Father was indeed speaking.  But now came the question, “Father, what are You trying to say to us?”  More and more frequently this strange phenomenon occurred to us both, but still our question remained unanswered.
