There is song that I have been singing all week that has been touching my heart. Spirit Break Out. Besides learning to sing again and sing within the given range that I have it says something that I never thought about.
King Jesus / Your the name were lifting high
Your Glory/ Shaking up thee earth and sky
Revival / We want to see your kingdom here!
The last lyric is what caught me.
Matt 6:9-13
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
The prevailing thought that shot across my spirit was this. God kingdom is not established in the earth just because he is God, the establishment of his kingdom in the earth is in the heart of those who trust in him. Those same people become his church and establish his kingdom in earth by way of the preaching of the gospel.
In this instance the Lord spake again.
" The Church is my work in you, The kingdom is your work in the earth."
Alignment in this instance repositions us his inner work in us and the outer work his grace is manifesting in us as people.
To Step back - The kingdom comes because we ask for it, we actually have to ask for it. If assume that prayer is a request then can safely the manner of prayer that Jesus teaches is a formula for how we should request things.
The reign of God kingdom starts in the hearts of his people and gradually begins to change.
At one moment we are cut off from the kingdom of darkness and thrust into the light, but the immediacy of the death we come through to come to God is gradual. When you cut a flower the moment you do, its dead. It takes time for that thing to die. But its own death become fertilizer for something greater and because are who we are he plants seeds in our hearts / spirits and used the our sacrifices of our body as fertilizer to grow his plant of righteousness in our hearts.
ITS TIME
As my people harken to my voice I will do a move among them in the place they have consecrated to me. The abiding presence of God will remain on the people of God who seek me with their whole heart and I will do a new thing among my people. I will shone my glory among the surrendered , submitted and sanctified. See not that you seek after the manifestation of these words but the disposition of spirit before me. Obedience will suffice . EXPECT REVIVAL.
