Heaven on Earth
~ Open your heart and mind to God’s will for your life, and allow Him to fill you with excitement and joy today.
In Matthew 6:9-13 Jesus taught us to pray:
“Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”
To seek God’s kingdom coming to earth is to declare our great need for God’s presence, provision, love, and redemption. We have been given a mandate of the highest importance from our King of kings. We are to carry the kingdom of God with us everywhere we go and release this kingdom through everything we do. We are called by Jesus to bring heaven to earth.
In Matthew 16:19 Jesus tells his disciples:
“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
• What would it look like for the people of God to release the kingdom of heaven everywhere they go?
• What would it look like for even just a few of us to truly say yes to the calling of God on our lives to live for more than just worldly pleasure and comfort, to step outside of ourselves and live with an eternal perspective?
You are made to make an eternal impact far greater than you can imagine. God has placed within you keys to the doors of heaven, and He longs to use you to release His love, grace, peace, mercy, and redemption to others in desperate need of Him. He longs to call you out from the daily grind of life into a higher pursuit of seeing the earth transformed by His goodness.
Seeing heaven come to earth all starts with declaring your need of God. It all starts with drawing a circle around yourself and allowing God to transform you from the inside out. You are not called to minister to others in your own strength. You are not called to figure out how to best love people. You aren’t even called to muster up a desire to bring God’s kingdom to earth. All the weight of eternal impact rests on the shoulders of your heavenly Father. All that is required of you is to take time to let God love you, fill you with the desires of His heart, and follow His leadership into the fulfillment of those desires.
God wants to take your five loaves of bread and two fish and multiply it to feed the souls of thousands. Say "yes" to partnering with the Holy Spirit, and allow God to use you to change the world by bringing His kingdom to earth through simple acts of love and obedience. Take time in prayer to allow God’s Word and His Spirit to teach you, empower you, and release you into the calling of bringing heaven to earth today.
Being used by God to bring heaven to earth is meant to be a part of the normal, daily Christian life. We are called to more than simply working a job, going to school, hanging out with friends, and trying to enjoy life. No matter what job you work, God wants to bring the kingdom to earth through you. No matter who your friends are or where you find yourself, God wants to bring the kingdom to earth everywhere around you. If you will say “yes” every day to the adventure of being used by God, your life will begin to take on a whole new purpose, so much more fulfilling than anything you’ve previously experienced.
May you live to see God’s kingdom come to earth through your life today.
