The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

A VISION OF A JESUS-FILLED WORLD COMING TO PASS

When Jesus’s disciples asked Him how they should pray, He gave them what is now called the Lord’s Prayer. It has endured for over two thousand years and is still prayed and reflected on today.

I have often prayed this prayer myself; still, in doing so, I often find myself seeking the meaning of the phrase “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” So, I searched the Bible for answers and was surprised at what I found. You might be surprised where this leads us as well.

Therefore, this post will clarify the verse”Your kingdom come.” It will present New Testament scriptures and my spiritual experiences and observations to illuminate the meaning of this prayer passage. In a future posting, we will address the second part of the passage, “Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.”

Thy Kingdom Come

We start with Luke 17:20-21

Now, when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the Kingdom of God is within you.”

Therefore, the Kingdom of God is not a physical location, political regime, government, or power but rather the presence of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are evidence of this dwelling of the Kingdom of God in His people.

The Gifts of the Spirit Identified

Paul identifies the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Cor: 12 4-11.  

There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

When thy Kingdom comes, these gifts of the Spirit will manifest and be demonstrated in the power of the gifts of the Spirit. But is this the condition being demonstrated by God’s people today? We see long lists of sick people to pray for in our church bulletins every week. So, where is the gift of healing? Some churches have led their members to take the COVID-19 vaccines despite knowing that they contained the blood of aborted babies. This vaccine then proved to be unsafe and ineffective, killing hundreds of thousands and harming millions worldwide. So, where is the gift of wisdom and knowledge? Where is the gift of the prophetic? Why were we led by our own ministers to take what many believe is a bioweapon?

Why Do Spiritual Gifts Matter?

We live in a world where evil has been allowed to thrive, where the devil launches spiritual warfare campaigns against God’s people as if they are powerless. I know because I have been the victim of spiritual attacks, knowing nothing about spiritual warfare, and never realizing that I was even in such a war. Because of my ignorance, I became a human punching bag for the forces of evil.

The reality is that many evil people are running the world by doing the devil’s dirty work by way of spiritual warfare. They are lovers of money and power; they hate people, even advocating the killing of babies and using boys and girls as sex toys, then offering them up for Satanic sacrifice. They believe that they are superior to the rest of us. They seek to destroy our way of life, our freedoms, and our belief in God because they are in the way of their agenda. Therefore, their goal is to eliminate them, including our freedom of religion and speech, and to bear arms. They seek to end democracy by taking down America while destroying our constitution, thereby enabling them to rule over us and the world.

Think of Hitler’s Germany around the time of World War 2. Many people do not know that Germany had a democracy before Hitler took power. They did it by deploying a number of strategies. One was that they took control of the media and published propaganda designed to divide the people. Another was building political armies to force their will on the people, persecuting truth-tellers, and punishing political opponents. Their main target was the Jews, who were removed from their homes and businesses, placed in concentration camps, subjected to forced labor, and eventually killed. Those who objected to these practices were severely punished or killed such that after a while, no one dared say a word; their guns had been removed long before. Think of all the people who were involved in the persecution and killing of the Jews and decenters. Think of everyone who knew the horrors of what was happening but did not dare say or do anything. Think of how many churches and Christians knew of the injustice but remained mute.

These things are important to think about because the same strategy deployed by the German Nazis to overthrow democracy and freedom appears to be rolling out in America. Our mainstream news has become the propaganda organization for a political party at the behest of the so-called elites and the deep state. These news agencies heavily support political agendas which mirror the Nazi tactics of lies and deception. They shape the news to subtly turn truth into lies, to make good look evil and evil look good. Their biggest lies are the items they refuse to report because they implicate them and the agenda of their sponsors.

But then, they are not the only ones lying. Our politicians are telling lies constantly to support their political narratives that, in many ways, are anti-American. Pharmaceutical companies are lying to us, as are most government agencies like the FDA, the FBI, the IRS, and many others. Why are they lying to us? Because they do not want the people to know about their plan to take over your country and your liberty and eventually the rest of the world. Our government publishes over a million top-secret documents a year. What are these things that are denied to the public? Why is it that they, in some cases, vote in private? Who knows how many of these private or classified items are to cover up their illegal and immoral actions designed to take down America so that they can rule over you? Why? Because your values are in the way of their plans to extend their evil satanic practices.

Unelected employees in deep state government agencies have placed Christian organizations on the US terrorist list. Therefore, Christians are to be persecuted like the Jews were under the Nazis as the plans for a takeover are seemingly the same. The result is that evil flourishes as it goes unchecked in America today.

It makes one wonder if the body of the church has been empowered with the gifts of the spirit identified above. Is the body even seeking them? I wonder how many of us even know that we are in a spiritual war designed to eliminate us and our loved ones from the face of the earth. What spiritual gifts do you have in which to enter into the battle for Christianity, your nation, community, and family? If you don’t know, you are unprepared for the spiritual battles ahead. If you are not being attacked by the forces of evil, it may be because you have already been defeated. It takes purity to become a component of the bride of Christ (THE BRIDE OF CHRIST AND HER VISION.) More than this, we must take action against these forces of evil. Therefore, more than ever, the bride of Christ must put on the whole armor of God.

When “Thy Kingdom Come(s)” and dwells in you, you will be empowered by God’s Holy Spirit to do His will and engage in spiritual warfare. What does it mean to put on the whole armor of God before engaging in spiritual warfare?

The Whole Armor of God

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Therefore, seek the Kingdom of God that is the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Identify and exercise the gifts of the Spirit that God has given you. Put on the whole armor of God and engage in the battle against God’s people for the dominion of the Earth.

In my next posting, I will present the second part of this verse, “Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven,” where we will learn what we are to do that has already been done in heaven.

Until then, may God bless, and remember to:
