Your Kingdom Come
Posted in Life on 05. Jan, 2010
Lately, a lot of what I’ve been praying about and praying for is for the Kingdom of God to manifest itself here on earth more. God wants so bad for us to usher in His kingdom and I think that I’m ankle deep in a vast ocean of what that actually looks like.
I’ve been reading the book When Heaven Invades Earth by Bill Johnson, the senior pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, California. It has just been rocking my world and I’m only five chapters in.
One of the biggest revelations I’ve received from reading this book has been about the prayer that Jesus taught (Matthew 6:9-13) and how it’s all about ushering in God’s Kingdom. It starts with worship and then declares His will be done “on earth as it is in heaven”. It then goes on to list of what heaven on earth looks like: provision, forgiveness, and deliverance. It then concludes with more worship.
I’m not really one for new year’s resolutions, but I want to make it a goal and a habit of bringing the Kingdom of God with me wherever I go.
Not many people will accept that The Kingdom is here NOW. It resides in each of us equally and through our freewill we manifest it. There are two kingdomS that we have a choice of. My novel is a fantasy about how they might comw about, but more how we musy accept the Will of God when the signposts are pointing the way. Why do we make it so hard to see what is before us and to accept Who is our Father, Who is my Brother/Sister and that the only task we have is to Forgive the perceptions we think defines our Brother/Sister. Love is not complicated, only our distortion of it. Hope you look at the web site.
