THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMES TO EARTH
Paul & Emily Meuller

Part Four     April 2001

(10)

Everything about this new Day and the truths now coming forth are appointed of the Spirit to bring us to maturity. More than ever before, we may hear the Spirit saying, “the Sun of righteousness (is) arise (arising) with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. “It is time for us to grow up! The time has come when we must put aside the childish things of the past and grow to full maturity in Christ. There was a time when prophecies flourished and were greatly anointed of the Spirit. But now, prophecy is failing, for the Spirit is no longer anointing that which was inpart and of the past. Tongues once blessed the people of God, but they too, have ceased. We once enjoyed the knowledge given and revealed by the Lord, and that has also vanished. But Love never fails - never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end.

“For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect). But when the complete and perfect floral] comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away - become antiquated, void and superseded. When I was a child, I talked like a child (saying all the things a spiritual child will say, such as prophesying and speaking in tongues), I thought like a child (thinking in terms of church order and church administration), I reasoned like a child promoting the ways of man); flow that (or, when) I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside” (1 Cor. 13:8-11, Amplified)

The coming of another portion of the kingdom of God to the earth is also the coming of more of Love to the earth. And Love, which God is, is that which is complete, total and perfect. Nothing can ever be added to Love, for He is perfect and complete. And nothing can ever be taken away from Love; for He is inseparable, indivisible, and is one in and with all that exists spiritually! There is nothing in the universe that is greater than Love! God is Love, and He is greater than all! There is nothing that shall ever supersede Love, for the Love that He is is greater far than anything else could ever be.

The real truth of the matter is clearly stated by the apostle Paul. He wrote to say, “But when the complete and perfect [total] comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away - become antiquated, void and superseded.” Moving from church order to the higher kingdom order, or from Pentecost to Tabernacles, is not a matter of us making up our carnal minds to walk a certain spiritual path. Paul makes it clear that when the complete and total comes, which is Love or God in greater fullness within us; the incomplete and imperfect will simply vanish away. The old order will then become antiquated, void and superseded. We just need to drink in of the Spirit of God and receive more of Christ, as He is being revealed in this new Day. Then all the old, dead things of the past will simply fall away from us. The new Life within us will drive out all that is dead and of the past!

Several years ago, I looked out a window and saw an apple tree as it appeared in the dead of winter. When I looked more closely, I saw that a few apples were still clinging to that tree, blowing in the wintry winds, even though most of the leaves had fallen off. I watched that apple tree all through the winter and saw that those old, dead apples continued to hang on to that tree. When Spring arrived and the sun warmed things up a bit, the sap started to rise in that apple tree. Sprouts appeared on that tree, to show that leaves were forming because of the new life within the tree. Then, those dead apples began to fall off that tree because of the new life that now flowed within that apple tree. So it is with us! When the new Life of Christ, as He is revealed in this new kingdom Day, enters into us, all that old stuff will simply fall off of us. When the complete and perfect Christ comes into us, all that was of the inpart and imperfect realm will vanish away!
