Thy Kingdom Come On Earth As It Is In Heaven

"Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and
hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made
straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the
Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it
together; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." (Isa.
40: 1; 4 - 5)

Whom would you compare Him to? (Isa. 40: 17 - 18) Those
who don't know Him may worship golden statues. But you, who
know Him want to broadcast to the world:

Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord,
the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither
is weary? There is no searching of His understanding. He
giveth power to the faint… But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings
as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall
walk, and not faint." (Isa. 40: 28 - 31)

Everything on earth is patterned after the heavenly
kingdom except for the fact that our corrupt human nature
has messed it up. The Kingdom of God will be established on
earth when the holy, heavenly Jerusalem literally comes
down to earth. This great city is the Bride of Christ!
(Rev. 21: 9)

"The tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with
them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall
be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain." Rev. 21: 3 - 4)

If He has delivered you: "from the power of darkness, and
… translated [you] into the Kingdom of His dear Son,"
(Col.. 1: 13) then you are part of the Bride of Christ, and
the Kingdom of God resides within you!

When you pray, therefore, ask the Father to show you the
part you are to play in His Kingdom and how to pray for
situations. Are you concerned about the state of the
economy today? Be assured that the world system is not
God's system.

Every seed sown has consequences. Where the world at large
has sown many seeds of discord and inequity over the
centuries, consequences will be reaped. This translates
into weather calamities, economical chaos and diseases.

The good news is that you do not belong to the kingdom of
this world. You are in it, but not of it. (John 17: 16)

"In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good
cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16: 33)

Certain trends and disasters will continue as per the many
prophecies foretold in the Bible. Other global or national
situations we can avert or change through our prayers.

For instance, we are charged specifically to pray for the
peace of Jerusalem (Ps. 122:6) and "for kings, and all that
are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable
life in all godliness and honesty" (1 Tim. 2: 1 - 2)

God is your Provider, your Healer, and your Peace.
Therefore, if God be for you, who can be against you! (Rom.
8: 31)

Pray to receive His Wisdom and to know Him and the glory
of His inheritance for you, and His power at your disposal
here on earth. When you pray for His Kingdom to come, thank
Him for:

"the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who
believe …which He wrought in Christ …and set Him …far above
all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and
every name …and hath put all things under his feet, and
gave Him to be the head over all things to the church,
which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in
all."
