Greetings:
This morning let us re-examined a Bible passage that most of us are familiar with.
Jesus taught his disciples how to pray in Matthew 6:9-10 (NIV). It reads, “This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
What does that mean when it says...”on earth as it is in heaven”? It means our kingdom - our blessings - are here for us today. We don't have to wait until we get to heaven.
We can get a glimpse of God's will for humanity here on earth today by looking at what Jesus went about doing during his earthly ministry. Jesus only went about doing what He saw The Father doing.
In Matthew 5:19 (NIV) we read: “Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
What did Jesus go about doing in His earthly ministry? The Bible tells us that Jesus went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.
Now Jesus could have just came down and died for our sins. Simple end of the story. But no, he also came to demonstrate what he really wanted to happen here on earth by healing, delivering, and carrying out the work of the Kingdom.
It is the will of God for the sick to be healed, the lame to walk, and the demons cast out! Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and the fruit of satan's labor – sickness, disease, bondage, and all oppression.
God wants us blessed in the here and now.
Luke 17:21 (NIV) says, “Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
Read the words of Jesus in The Bible if we want to know the will of God for each if us today on the earth. God created mankind to be blessed, and His plan hasn't changed one bit today.
Get plugged in to God's plan and see what happens.
Be blessed.
