Heaven COME! Will of God BE DONE on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN!
One of the powerful ways Jesus demonstrated to us the glory of God was at Lazarus’ resurrection. The goodness of God colored way out of the line beyond a human mind’s comprehension. Death lost its sting when Jesus came four days after Lazarus’ death and at His word, he came out of the tomb, for Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life.
Just as provision profusely abounded on my termite-infested-house challenge, the Lord revealed Himself in a new, upgraded, advanced and extended way. Truly His thoughts of us are so numerous and amazing, infinitely beyond comprehension, that when we think we caught Him, He’s got MORE in store us to explore.
Prayer is powerful. The reason why it is so is because prayer is communing and communicating with our God ALMIGHTY Whose power no foe can come against and has ABSOLUTE power over all.
“The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God–it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].” JAMES 5:16 AMP
What do we do to make our house a home? There may be millions of opinions that we can gather as each one has his own way of doing it. Its complexity comes with our individual desires and thoughtful choices. But in the midst of our distinct differences, it all boils down to “what do we value” in it? What means most to us marks its greatest potential of making it a home. It is a place where we can create things within that can meet our needs that expresses who we are. It is an inside-out way of perceiving things, just exactly like how our lives are to be lived. Jesus said, “Anyone who loves Me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and WE WILL COME TO THEM and MAKE OUR HOME WITH THEM.” John 14:23)
Our life expresses what we believe. It is a life from the inside out.
The beauty lies in the truthful reality that God is FOREVER with us. He promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us and never in a millisecond that His presence is not present in our midst regardless of what we perceive with our senses.
We are co-heirs with Christ and co-laborers with Him for His Kingdom’s expansion. Partnering with fellow believers and seeing God’s kingdom made manifest on earth as it is in heaven is one vital revelation that you and I are to grasp. We do it not by might nor by power, but by the Spirit of God. It is a Presence based culture. We are called to carry His presence wherever we go, whatever we do, and our weapon is His LOVE in-filling us and out-flooding through us and our heaven key is to pray!
“So I give you now a new commandment: LOVE each other just as much as I have loved you. For when you demonstrate the same love I have for you by loving one another, everyone will know that you are my true followers.” (John 13:34-35 TPT)
When we go through challenges that cause shame, guilt and condemnation to wrap us, get back into His presence where the opinions and perceptions other than that of our Father’s will be melted away and rendered powerless in the light of His love. This is how He deprived the world of His power to harm us and have conquered it for us. It is in His presence where His thoughts of us become our superior influence.
“I have told you these things, so that IN ME you may have [perfect] PEACE and CONFIDENCE. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but BE OF GOOD CHEER [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” (John 16:33 AMPC)
