01 Sep Bringing Heaven to Earth
As I travel it is interesting to see the number of people who have a sense of destiny in their heart, but a lack of clear direction to make that destiny a reality.
Jesus told us to pray “Our Father…..Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.”
I am not looking for the best that the government can give on earth or the best that Wall Street can give on earth. I want heaven’s standard for my earth! Heaven is abundantly blessed and healthy, as well as full of wonderful trusting and loving people. That’s a good destiny for earth.
Scripture tells us that we are “ambassadors of heaven” (2 Cor. 5:20). It’s interesting to note that an ambassador does not live by the standard of the country he is in, but the country that sent him. An ambassador is under the law of the country that sent him and is also financed from the country that sent him.
Those who have called on Jesus and received His life are sent of God’s country to not only inhabit this earth, but to occupy it until He returns. I like what General Patton said in WW2: “I don’t like to pay for the same real estate twice.”
We can see in many parts of the world where the church has done a poor job of occupying the land, and now is attempting to re-establish the kingdom of God where once there was a great reality of God’s presence and power. We have just sent a new tent to Europe to again evangelize in regions that once were a great voice for redemption and new life. Now we have to spend time and money to do what a failed church should have done. We are given the destiny and opportunity to influence every sphere of society and be the salt of the earth. Bring truth to your world so those you influence can rest is assurance that heaven is their home on earth as well as in the life to come.
