Who’s in Charge?

“Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.”
Matt 6:10 NKJV

This is an amazing prayer and statement full of power and life changing revelation!

First of all we understand that we pray to, OUR FATHER. I like the way the Message says it.


Matt 6:6-10 MESSAGE
"Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.

"The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They're full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this:

Our Father…”


So:
• Find a quiet place … Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage…
• Focus on God… sense His grace...
• This is YOUR FATHER you are dealing with….
• …and He knows better than you what you need…
• With a God like this loving you…
• you can pray very simply…
• Like this: OUR FATHER…

“Your kingdom come.”

You have to get the Kingdom in your heart before you’ll experience in your life. The King-dom is the Kings dominion and you receive it when you acknowledge Jesus as Lord and invite Him to rule and reign in your life. He is the Awesome and Almighty King and “His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.” (Dan 7:27) But He becomes your King when you receive Him. The moment you do He sends His Spirit into your heart and gives you the right, power and privilege to be reborn as royalty. You actually become, “children of God” and that makes God Almighty your Heavenly Father and you part of His imperial family.

A good king takes care of His people. To do it well he must rule in their hearts before he can reign in their lands. If the king does not have the heart and loyalty of the people then rebellion is eminent. So God came to first establish His kingdom on the inside before He sets it up on the outside.

Luke 17:20-21

20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you."
NKJV

“The kingdom of God is within you.” Is it? Not only in theory but does Jesus actually rule and reign in your life and exercise dominion over your decisions? Or do you? Who’s in charge here? If you are that makes you someone that thinks that you should be king and if you’re king in your own life that makes you responsible to protect and provide for your own needs and the needs of “your” people. But if you acknowledge God’s dominion, give Him your heart and let Him rule on the inside then He will begin to manifest His Kingdom and blessings on the outside.

In your heart God abides He protects and provides!
It’s when He leads that He supplies all your needs.
It will happen day by day as you pray and say,
“Your kingdom come. Your will be done,
(IN MY HEART AND LIFE) On earth as it is in heaven.”

WOW! That’s awesome! “Your will be done ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” What does that mean to you? Think about it all day, tell me what you think and I’ll write more about it tomorrow.

Have a great day and be blessed in every way!
