For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)


My precious Church, I love you, I am shaping you and preparing you for great things that I am going to do through you on this earth.
Many of you have begun to feel My Spirit leading you to deeper places of intimacy, you have begun living in realms of deeper revelation, you have begun to receive treasures from My Word that you never imagined. You have begun to see the manifestation of My Glory in your lives like never before.
Many of you have begun to hear Me more clearly and see more specifically what I am doing in your lives and in this earth. I have begun revealing more of My plans to many of you and more of My heart. I have begun taking many of you who have heard My call to a greater level of intimacy and discernment.
I am beginning to birth greater revelations, ministries and intercessory burdens through many of you. There has been a greater release of heavenly revelation upon many of your lives that is taking you to a place of such deep joy, and such deep dependence upon Me, you feel the spiritual atmosphere around you has changed. The air is pregnant with opportunities I am going to release into your lives to minister for Me in areas and ways you have not dreamed of.
Many of you are in this position of great excitement, anticipation and revelation, yet have been feeling assailed by the enemy with fear. The enemy has increased his attacks of fear upon many of My children as they are about to step into the next areas of their destinies in Me.
My people, when you hear My voice, when you receive the confirmation in Me, when you see it in My Word, and see My hand moving you, step out.
Assignments of tormenting fear has been released upon many of you to hinder you from taking these steps. Do not listen to the fear that speaks to you My people, for this is not from Me.
The enemy is releasing smokescreens over many of your lives, to cause your vision to be blurred and your focus to be swayed. The enemy has targeted many of you with this crippling tormenting fear to attempt to prevent you from stepping into the next opportunities I am releasing you into.
My people, take the words I have given you and hold to them. For as you hear Me speak, and see My heart for you, fear will fall to the ground. Fear cannot stand in My love, My love casts out all fear. So continue to check your hearts in My presence My people, make sure the enemy has no areas in your hearts where he can bring these attacks of fear into, to take up residence.
Breakthrough and heavenly outpourings of My revelation and joy are filling many of your lives. Many of you are about to step into positions of greater influence for My namesake, to take My Word and the revelation of My heart that I have placed within you, to the ends of the earth, so do not let the enemy trip you up, at the brink of release.
KNOW My people that you have the victory. KNOW that these assignments of fear released upon you are LIES and the enemy is bringing this against you because I am about to release the opposite into your lives. The enemy is attacking many in areas that I am about to bring release in.
The enemy is attacking many in the fear of death, I am about to bring you greater life to areas of your heart and lives that have felt dead, the enemy is attacking many in the fear of loss, I am about to release abundance to you, the enemy is attacking many in fear of failure and lack of provision, I am about to give you greater responsibility and provide greatly for you as you step out for My namesake.
The enemy is speaking to many through fear of unfulfilled dreams, wrong timing and hopelessness, I am about to released many INTO their dreams, NOW is the time, and with a renewed HOPE and passion that they have been crying out for.
My people, BE ENCOURAGED, for the enemy is attacking through fear in the VERY AREAS I am about to move in.
Families are about to be healed and released into My Kingdom work, singles are about to receive greater revelations of My heart, and plans for their lives, children are about to receive greater heavenly encounters of My heart and My love for them.
Rejoice My people, though the enemy attacks hard with fear, the victory you have is IN ME, and all his smokescreen whispers are falling to the ground as you hear My voice and see the WONDEROUS things I am about to do in your midst.
Laugh in the face of the enemy KNOWING that you are about to be released into opportunities for My Kingdom where you will see a move of My hand and heart that you have not seen before.
You are being released My people, the chains of fear will not hold you down as you seek Me, and obey all I have commanded you, continually allowing My Spirit to search your heart and do My work.
Fear is falling to the ground, release is happening.

Church In The Kingdom Age by Ron McGatlin

Church In The Kingdom Age by Ron McGatlin


The greatest and most glorious expression of church is the soon coming Bride of Christ, New Jerusalem, kingdom age church. The major shift from the "church or man emphasis age church" to the "kingdom or God emphasis age church" is perhaps the most exciting event since Pentecost The outpourings of the Spirit that brought the Pentecostal revival of a century ago and the renewal revival of a decade ago have reset the stage. The ingredients are now in place for the spiritual events that were planned and begun 2000 years ago.

....I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, Eph 3:14-15
The Bride church of New Jerusalem as described in Revelation 21 is a clear picture of the purified holy church of the kingdom of God age. The patterns and focus of the Bride church are heavenly. The focus of the "church age" church has been meeting the needs of man beginning with his salvation or redemption from sin. The focus of the "kingdom age" church is the glory of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

There are many aspects of the kingdom of God and all of the parts are necessary to make up the whole. There are two basic aspects to consider, Heaven and Earth or God and man. The kingdom that Jesus preached and taught is from heaven and for earth. His kingdom is not from earth but it is for earth. It is the kingdom of heaven come to earth. Therefore there is a heavenly side and an earthly side to the kingdom of God. The kingdom is of and from God; it is in and through man by the Holy Spirit.

Focus on the heavenly family.

The self nature of man has perverted the primary focus of the work of many churches and ministries in the past. Christian institutions have catered to the needs and desires of man creating a primary focus first on self and secondly on earthly family. Certainly the provision and well being of ourselves and our families is an important aspect of the kingdom of God. Truly God's desire is that earthly families reflect an image of our heavenly or spiritual family. However, having made our self and our family or even our church family the primary focus has robbed us of the reality of the fullness of our heavenly family.

A major principle of the kingdom is that seeking first (primarily focusing on) the kingdom of God causes all the other earthly things to be added in order. Focusing first on ourselves, and our natural or church families can actually prevent the provision of the very things we are seeking. First things must be first in the kingdom.

Mat 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Luke 18:29-30: So He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, "who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life."
The first focus of selfish life is myself and just next to that is mine. My family, my friends, my stuff, my reputation, and so on. Catering to the desires of self in people is eroding the crumbling institutional church as individual lives corrupt and families fall apart. An intense focus on correcting the symptoms and fixing the problems through training by psychological and intellectual methods may have provided some surface healing of the problems but has totally failed to cure the problems and bring forth the kingdom of God lifestyle.

The kingdom of God church reality must be revealed in our spirits.

The kingdom church is a spiritual reality. It is the FAMILY OF GOD. The FATHER and the SON from heaven on earth indwelling the many sons of the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit.

Our first kingdom priority is our spiritual family relationship with FATHER who is above all and His only begotten SON who is King of earth and Heir to the throne of heaven with the many sons who are joint heirs.
Sons who are born spiritually by the Holy Spirit into Christ are sons with Him. As they live and walk in the Holy Spirit as mature sons they experience the fullness of the kingdom as heirs with Christ.

Rom 8:13-17: For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs; heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. (The Greek word translated adoption above is: huiothesia:G5206 - sonship or the placing as a son)

One of the characteristics of a natural blood line family is something called DNA. There is a spiritual equivalent to DNA. Birthed by the Spirit of God into Christ and receiving the Spirit of Christ, implants the family line spiritual DNA of God which transforms our spiritual DNA to the family blood line of God by the Spirit of adoption. By the Holy Spirit, the very life of Christ carrying the spiritual DNA of Father abides within true sons. Only by the Spirit can we relate to our spiritual family in heaven and earth.

The kingdom age order of church is "spiritual family" relationships.

Kingdom church gatherings are spiritual meetings of the HEAVENLY FAMILY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT. Not just natural family and not just church family - HEAVENLY FAMILY IN THE SPIRIT. Our gatherings in the kingdom church age are a coming together with God our Father and Jesus our mediator and with holy angels and spirits of mature just men (sons).

Heb 12:22-24: But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
In a gathering including God the judge of all and Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, who among you is willing to stand and take charge of the meeting? We all will want to know the Holy Spirit is moving in us and directing us before we speak. Every word not spoken by the Spirit is an idle word and is of no value in the kingdom family assembly. Also who is ready to resist and not move or speak when and as the Spirit directs.

Heb 12:25-26: See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven."
People walking in the flesh who are by nature carnal minded cannot possibly relate in heavenly family gatherings. They can relate to natural family and man focused "church" gatherings but not to spiritual family gatherings. Religious institutions that are focused on the natural can grow rapidly by feeding the needs of carnal Christians and by employing intellectual wisdom and psychological adjustments toward lessening the symptoms and coping with the problems generated by self focused living. These works can never solve the deep problems generated by a lack of intimate relationship with God through Jesus by the Holy Spirit. It is only by the Holy Spirit that the word can become alive and powerful in changing lives and eventually the world.

This pattern is very different from most of our past experiences. This indeed is one of the major changes and paradigm shifts that we have heard was coming and didn't know what it was. Now it is coming clearly into view. It is one major step in regaining our destiny as a people of God and as a nation.

In America the destiny of God has again been delayed by another generation that has been overtaken with self and religion. The Holy Spirit is again seeking to bring forth a new generation of young and old, rich and poor, male and female, and of every race who will regain the passion of the destiny of the kingdom of God from heaven coming forth in our nation and across the world. The shaking and crumbling of life and religion as we have known them are just part of the great change God is bringing through Jesus in His maturing sons by the Holy Spirit. Yet once more God is reaching for a people of passion who will receive the kingdom of God.

Heb 12:27-13:1: Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. Let brotherly love continue.
