“Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.” (Deuteronomy 11:18-21 KJV)
“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.” (Mark 9:23 NLT)
“Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” (Matthew 19:26 NLT)
I am going to try to wrap this up today. I hope, like me, you are beginning to see the great adventure that life as a child of God is intended to be. When my Heavenly Father created this Earth, and placed Adam and Eve in the Garden (Kingdom of Heaven on Earth), He was in the midst of moving here to dwell with His children. With the Garden He created an earthly dwelling place that mirrored His dwelling place in Heaven. His design and desire (Will) was that Adam and Eve partner with Him to expand the Garden (Kingdom of Heaven on Earth) throughout the Earth and dwell together for Eternity sharing and enjoying all of creation. Even though Adam and Eve jumped ship, and hooked up with Satan, God’s design and desire (Will) for His creation never changed.
Jesus (the second Adam) made a way for me to get back into the game. I am now a child of God partnering with Him where Adam left off. I am on a Mission with my Daddy to once again expand the Kingdom of Heaven throughout the Earth in preparation for His return to dwell with His children for eternity.
Until sin and Satan are removed from this playing field I will fight the good fight of faith, ruling and subduing as a King and Priest under the King of Kings. When I look around me the idea of recreating the Garden seems impossible. The thought that the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth can be a reality, that Nations can be discipled, and that righteousness can prevail over evil, seems impossible. But remember, with God ALL things are possible.
I realize that I live in the midst of a world corrupted by sin, sickness, calamity, sorrow, destruction, fear, hatred, division, and the list could go on and on. But I also realize that I am living in the power of the Gospel of the Kingdom which is greater than all of that. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation which includes the remedy for every ailment of society. The reality of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth is far superior to the reality of the Kingdom of Darkness. I am on a mission with my Father to set the captives free and take back the territory that we have allowed Satan to occupy. “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, On Earth as it is in Heaven.” This prayer is for today, not somewhere in the future. The hope of the Gospel is not that I will go to Heaven some day, but that Heaven will manifest in my life today.
Let’s meditate on the possibilities presented in…
