Your Will Be Done, On Earth As It Is In Heaven

Matthew 6:10
Your kingdom come.
 Your will be done
 on earth as it is in heaven.

Ayin – to see

You have to have an EYE to SEE the OPEN DOOR.
So the first thing we need to SEE differently is the church.

It is not a tradition or religious institution.
It is a spiritual church that God is building.

It is NOT a routine.  So we need to unlearn some things and relearn new things.

If God wants us to do things differently, then we must start doing things differently.

NEW season.  We must think corporate and not just as an individual.

We must lose our individualistic mentality.  Ask God, “What are YOUR plans, what do you want?”

Jesus’ purpose for coming to the earth is bigger than blessing one person.

He did not come just to heal and do miracles.  He came to translate the Kingdom of God on the earth “Your Kingdom Come”.

Miracles confirm the Kingdom.  He came to connect heaven and earth.

So we must have PILLARS for revival.

#1 – Pillar of the Word of God

We must RE-LAY the Word of God as the strong foundation.
Whatever we know is how far we can go.

But if God is increasing, our foundation MUST be re-layed.  To go higher, the foundation of His Word must go deeper.

So what does that mean?  Is just reading the Bible daily enough?  Or good books?  Both good and needed.

What does the Bible say about the Word?

John 1:1-3, 14
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 He was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

The WORD became flesh.  The WORD came down in the person of Jesus.

The Word is NOT just knowledge in the mind.
The Word is a person.  Jesus.

So, if the church is not laid upon Jesus, we have only head knowledge.

1 Corinthians 3:10-11
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Everyone who wants to build the church (revival) must lay the same foundation, which is Jesus.

Everything God does is looked upon Jesus.  Everything is ABOUT JESUS.

So if the church has another mission and is not building the same way Jesus told us to, then all we are doing is projects, fellowship and picnics but WHAT IS OUR FOUNDATION?!

Is it Wesley?
Is it Booth?
Is it Seymour?
Is it Calvin?
Or JESUS?

If we have any other mission we are NOT building upon Christ.

So as a church we cannot remain the same.
We must go to the next level.

Deuteronomy 1:6-8
6 “The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: ‘You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.

7 Turn and take your journey, and go to the mountains of the Amorites, to all the neighboring places in the plain, in the mountains and in the lowland, in the South and on the seacoast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates.

8 See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—to give to them and their descendants after them.’

It’s time to possess NEW Land.  Don’t stay at the mountain of past blessings.

We need a Jesus revival.  God has set before us a land to possess.

It’s time for a new assignment.

Matthew 7:24-25
24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

So let’s –
Hear with purpose
Discern wisely
Receive and renew our mind
Believe wholeheartedly.

Yours for revival,
Pastor Francis Armstrong
