In this post, I will continue with the way the Lord instructed us to pray…
“Your kingdom must now come:
Your will must be done right now,
As in heaven also on Earth:”
It is the longing of our Father to bring His Kingdom to Earth, not someday, but NOW. As believers we must stop seeking escape from this world, but rather honor God by giving him reign in our lives. When He is living and ruling freely in the believers, His Kingdom will manifest immediately! We do not have to wait for “someday!”
For Y’shua to come back, there must be something on earth that matches Him. I am afraid that the believer’s today barley resembles the Lord. How can Messiah return to a people that are so unlike Him?
When Y’shua came the first time, He brought Heaven to Earth. He brought in God’s Kingdom in life, authority, and power! The Lord was the ladder connecting Heaven to Earth and as such, the Father’s will was carried out through Him. This is exactly why the Father delighted in the Firstborn Son, Y’shua. Our Lord glorified the Father in Heaven as a man on the earth—and so should we.
Messiah came as the second man, the last Adam, to restore on Earth what was lost in Adam. Adam was to have dominion, but he lost that dominion. Messiah came and regained that dominion and gave it back to man through His death and resurrection. He gave us, the Father’s many sons, authority, to have dominion and multiply His Kingdom on earth TODAY not someday.
As believer’s, we have God’s life, nature, and authority on earth. But who is exercising this authority today? Is God’s Kingdom manifest on earth today? The answer is YES, but in a VERY LIMITED way. Most believers live lives under the lies, accusations, and deceptions of the enemy. The reason for this is because they do not know the truth about God nor themselves. They believe what they feel, not what God says. They spend little time in His word or under ministry that teaches Kingdom principles.
Today’s believers live as though they were still under the curse, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law that was imposed because of man’s fall from God’s grace. We, by no means HAVE to live in sin, sickness, disease, lack, and under the power of demonic forces. Messiah died to free us from these things. He came to give us shalom: Nothing lacking, nothing broken, more than enough! This is Kingdom manifestation. This is what the world longs for!
No wonder Y’shua instructed His disciples to “pray in this WAY.” He was telling His followers the intent of the Father, to bring His Kingdom to Earth through His many sons. If you are a believer, you are one of those sons. You have been redeemed and empowered to live as Y’shua lived, to walk as Y’shua walked, and to DO what Y’shua did! “Greater works will you do because I go to my Father” Y’shua said.
Y’shua was born of the Spirit, YOU were re-born of the Spirit. Y’shua was sinless, yet become sin for us to free us from the bondage of sin. Therefore sin SHOULD NOT be a factor of defeat for us. Y’shua wore a crown of thorns which represented the earth curse…toiling for provision. Therefore His death gave way to divine provision, more than enough. Y’shua’s death defeated satan and his satanic forces. How much more free could one get? However many live a though these things are not so!
You, the believer, have the life and power to bring in God’s Kingdom. You, the believer can live as Y’shua did, doing the will of the Father. Only doing what you hear the Father speak and see Him doing in Heaven.
Dear saints of the Most High God, get out of your self and into the spirit! Get out of your self in into His WORD! Learn who He is through THE BOOK and your experiences of the Spirit. Tell out the virtues of Him by living a live that magnifies Him. You can do this because He, as the life-giving Spirit dwells in you to duplicate what He did while on earth…bringing in the Father’s Kingdom and doing His will.
May God bless you to be the son or daughter of God that you are DESTINED to be! For His Kingdom must come and His will must be done as in Heaven, so on Earth!
I use Y'shua, Jesus' Hebrew name. My heart is to reach both Jew and Gentile with the good news.
