Thy Will Be Done

FatherSonShoulders
Thy will be done on earth as in heaven
. . . A son can choose to agree with His Father’s will whether he knows it specifically or not in any situation because he knows his Father and trusts his Father’s wisdom.  A son can also pray this prayer of agreement because he understands the “givens,” those conditions, designs and circumstances that reflect His Father’s will.

Displacing Death And Defeat

FlowersSunrise

 

As the people of God assemble today may the Life of our Lord Jesus Christ work among them to displace everything that is working death and defeat.
”…you have rescued me from death and kept me from defeat.  And so I walk in the presence of God, in the light that shines on the living.” (Ps.56:13, GNB)


Your Home And The Kingdom Of God

 

familyBible
Your Home #17 – May your home be a place where is in evidence the culture of the Kingdom of God—may it be evidenced in sight, sound and actions; a culture of honoring the Lord Jesus Christ above all; a culture of considering the holy Word of God before decisions and actions.

“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.” (Rom.12:1-2, Msg)

 


Holy Spirit The Key

 

keyThe Holy Spirit is the One who has constant communication with heaven which is the seat of God’s authority. The key to man being able to express the Kingdom of God here on earth is the presence of the Holy Spirit. As it has been so well said, the Holy Spirit is the most important Person on earth. Jesus is at the right hand of the Father—at the right hand of majesty on high.  He is there in the presence of God. The presence of God is not static, He is active—constantly active.


 


Hallowed Be Thy Name

HandsRaisedWorship

Hallowed be Thy name . . . You are holy.  I venerate Your name, knowing it represents all that You are, all Your authority and character.  Father, there is no other like You, nor can anyone else be called by Your Name.

The Kingdom And The Holy Spirit And Us

SkySunOrangeThe purposes of an invisible God are served by a visible creation. We are the visible representation of the unseen heavenly realm. It all culminated in the Person of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit who anointed Jesus now dwells in us and enables us to be God’s visible, tangible point of rule and authority on earth. The Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of God go hand in hand. You don’t get one without the other.

It is all by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not just kings and priests so we can have titles. We are so, by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the One who has the mind of the Father and He will guide us in those aspects of being kingly and priestly so that we may be what the Father wants us to be in those aspects.

Who Is In Heaven

CloudLightWho is in heaven . . .“Our Father who is in heaven,” releases a son from any earthly father’s shortcomings.  There will be no hindrance in our conversation because of a father’s bad  mood or because of an earthly father’s personal guilt or distraction or misunderstanding or prejudiced opinion or unjust anger or mistaken views or lack of foresight.  His being in heaven declares His Divine Supremacy while removing all human limitations.  We are praying to a powerful Father, the Father who is situated above all, the Father who controls the universe, the Father who is almighty, the Father who is subject to none, the Father who prevails over all.  Praying as a son changes the posture, scope and expectations in prayer.

Aligning With Righteousness

ManInSunlight
As the people of God assemble today may the Holy Spirit work by the Word of God to convict of unrighteousness and help us to align with righteousness and the plans and workings of our Lord in this season in the earth.

“Life is in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), and in its pathway there is no death but immortality (perpetual, eternal life).” (Prov.12:28, Amp)

Kingdom Of God In Evidence

MountainRainbow

 

(Kathy)  As I searched the scriptures, I found the Kingdom of God (or Kingdom of Heaven) could refer to three things: 1) The place where God dwells and reigns eternally, 2) God’s AUTHORITY & POWER ruling on earth, and 3) the company of people who have submitted their lives to God’s authority, both now and eternally.  Jesus preached and emphasized the second aspect, God’s AUTHORITY and POWER ruling on earth.  That is why He said to some as He healed them, “The Kingdom has come upon you.”  The Kingdom of God is in evidence wherever God’s AUTHORITY and POWER are manifested on earth.

The Our Father Dimension

Our Father . . . The first emphasis in Jesus’ instruction was to start prayer from the “Our Father” position of a FatherSon1son to his father.  This places priority on relationship rather than protocol and on heritage rather than hierarchy.  Relationship assures us we can be confident of acceptance when we approach Him personally, face to face.  Lack of relationship (1) leaves us unsure and at a distance, (2) a questionable guest in the throne room or (3) a needy outsider having to beg.  Coming face to face is about knowing our Father well enough to see as He sees.  If we don’t come face to face, we position ourselves on the peripheral where we are susceptible prey for misbeliefs  about God.  When men are too far away to really know Him as a son, they are more apt to lean to their own understanding and create images from their own imagination and experience, like the ancient Greeks did.  The gods they created had so many human flaws that their supernatural powers over men were distorted to extremes by emotion and whim.  If misbelief misrepresents God, it corrupts the potential and purpose of relationship and the motivation of the heart.  Then there is no sonship and no “Our Father” entrance into the dimension of prayer Jesus taught.

Rule Of God In Circumstances

PrayingForPeople

We are not involved merely in an attempt to get some people to heaven, we are part of a great plan to bring the rule of God into present circumstances. People don’t just need a ticket to heaven in the by and by, they need the rule of God now in their bodies, families, finances and workplace. It is one thing to speak of the wonderful goings-on around the throne of God and what it is going to be like “some glorious day,” but it is to the glory of the Father to give present testimony of lives and circumstances invaded by that wonderful realm.

Pray As Sons Who Reflect Their Father

HandsPrayingWhile the most common understanding of prayer is an appeal or petition, I think The Lord’s Prayer illustrates a broader concept of prayer.  I see it as a prayer of alignment with God’s Word and will and character, or a declaration of agreement with God’s order and principles and intent.  If I viewed The Lord’s Prayer only as a petition, it would seem to be a formal format of how to properly ask for basic necessities.   While there is nothing wrong with that, I think there is more life in it and more relationship demonstrated in His model prayer.  This prayer takes on more dimension when it comes from a motive and priority to pray as sons who know and reflect their Father.

Lives Affected This Year

People at the Cross

At the end of this year may there be a long list of people whose lives were affected and changed to the glory of God because of the display of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Kingdom through our lives.

”But I obtained mercy for the reason that in me, as the foremost [of sinners], Jesus Christ might show forth and display all His perfect long-suffering and patience for an example to [encourage] those who would thereafter believe on Him for [the gaining of] eternal life.”(1Tim.1:16, Amp)



The Lord’s Prayer

PrayingHandsFoldedAs we read Matthew 6 and Luke 10, we find Jesus teaching the disciples to pray.  The verses leading up to the actual prayer reveal firstly what prayer is not.  Prayer is not practicing your righteousness before men.  Prayer is not using surplus words trying to cover your bases.  Prayer is not from any motive that would manipulate God or man.  Then, Jesus gives directions to His disciples on how to communicate with the Father.  His instruction becomes a model for us known as “The Lord’s Prayer”.

Active Participants

ChurchCommunity

 

As the people of God assemble today may people who have been no more than mere attenders realize that they are called to be an active participant in the local house and its expression in the community. May they realize that they are to become participants in the giving of their time, effort and resources. 

“Take your stand with God’s loyal community and live. . .” (Prov.11:19, Msg)
