The Lord's Prayer Part 4

"Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven."
                                                                                                                Matthew 6:10   NKJV

The third major topic in our prayer outline is:

GENERAL PRIORITIES - Your Kingdom come. Declare that His Kingdom priorities shall be
established, in yourself, your loved ones, your church and your nation. 

This part of the prayer asks for the establishment of God's rule in our lives, our situation and in the age to come. God's will on the earth today.
RT Kendall wrote in an email:
'There is no rebellion in Heaven; likewise there will be no rebellion in us when we say, 'Your will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.'

There is much rebellion, hurt bad feeling, abuse and whatever else in this world today. However, as Christians God wants us to establish righteousness wherever we are. A good starting point is in this prayer. If we declare that God's Kingdom priorities are the way forward for us, then this is what will be established. We are declaring that we are living for God. There is no rebellion, hurt, bad feeling, abuse or whatever else in Heaven, so when we say, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, this is our decree.

There is no swearing or cursing in Heaven so there won't be in our life as we say, 'Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven'. It is the same with other things that are in our lives, such as anger, criticising and judging people. Then of course, the things that can so easily trip people up, like porn, adultery, homosexuality and any other things that the Holy Spirit flashes up. Getting into this part of the prayer and deciding that we mean business with God, has got to be a positive step in our walk with Him.

So, let us determine that whatever happens, we will endeavour to establish God's righteousness in all we do, say and think. It's like the old cliché, 'Would Jesus do this or say that?' That used to make us pull up in our tracks. Therefore, as this is totally from the mouth of Jesus, make it count for Him and your walk.
