Thy Kingdom Come!

Thy Kingdom come!

Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

What specifically is Jesus directing us to do?

Jesus is instructing us to seize the Kingdom of God and all of its holiness. The statement declares that we must place God in the center of our lives and to behave righteously under His rule. In short the word righteousness means unselfishness. Then all things will be given.

Consequently, the Kingdom of God is not just limited to heaven but includes your hearts.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17​

Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.

Acts 17:24​

The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man..

The Kingdom is not just a future destination but a resting place for God in our hearts.

Luke 11:20​

But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Note that God has come upon you and not will come upon you.

Luke 17:21​

Nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst.

Kingdom of God is here now in our spirit. We will experience a full manifestation of the Kingdom at a future date.

Now take a look at the Lord's prayer. There is a specific line that reads 'thy kingdom come'. This phrase is not just referring to a future event and place, but also refers to the Kingdom of God ruling this moment in our lives. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven...
Jesus stated:
“For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21).

The kingdom is not based on rules and regulations, but on righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17).

So the next time you say the Lord's prayer remember those three powerful words;
Thy Kingdom come! You are indeed welcome here Holy Spirit!

O Lord, let us all seek Thy kingdom first and above anything else we do on earth. Give us wisdom to find Thy will and start today loving You with all our heart, mind and soul. Nothing is more important than to seek Thy face every single day of our life. In the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy.

Encaptured in my mind still stands what the Lord has done for those I have been praying for. My nextdoor neighbors stop drinking and are coming to church. Got saved and they are on their way to heaven. Praise the Lord. Pray with faith believing. Jesus will save those you are praying for. Thy Kingdom come o Lord in the lives of lost souls of our city, town and neighborhood. Save all of them we pray. Amen
