“Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Mat6.10 ESV
When we pray these words and truly mean them, God’s will comes to earth in that very moment if only in our own life. To want the Father’s will is the first step in bringing it from Heaven to earth. And, as we generally do what we want, then God’s desires will ultimately flow over into our actions and then of course into the world. It seem to me that the Kingdom of God is certainly found in that place where God rules. If we would see His Kingdom come to earth then God must at least rule in us.
I once read where Mahatma Gandhi said that he would become a Christian when he met one. He is also known for saying, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” If we would see the Kingdom of Christ come to earth, let us pray that His will be done and then answer out own prayers. 7/15/2008 ts
