[SPEAKER_00]: As we continue in our week on Living for Heaven, today we'll explore what it means to see Jesus prayer that God's will would be done on Earth as it is in Heaven fulfilled.
00:17.587 --> 00:24.495
[SPEAKER_00]: God desires His kingdom to invade the Earth, and He wants to do it through us, His people.
00:25.602 --> 00:33.190
[SPEAKER_00]: open your heart and mind to God's will for your life, and allow Him to fill you with excitement and joy today.
00:33.951 --> 00:36.293
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the first 15 podcast.
01:01.553 --> 01:19.722
[SPEAKER_00]: Our verse for today comes from Matthew 6, verses 9 through 10, Scripture says, our Father in heaven, hollowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
01:24.344 --> 01:29.647
[SPEAKER_00]: In Matthew 6, verses 9 through 13, Jesus taught us to pray.
01:30.885 --> 01:32.066
[SPEAKER_00]: our Father in heaven.
01:33.046 --> 01:40.930
[SPEAKER_00]: How load be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
01:42.030 --> 01:56.197
[SPEAKER_00]: Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
01:59.653 --> 02:09.815
[SPEAKER_00]: To seek God's kingdom coming to earth is to declare our great need for God's presence, provision, love, and redemption.
02:11.376 --> 02:16.637
[SPEAKER_00]: We have been given a mandate of the highest importance from our King of Kings.
02:18.177 --> 02:26.499
[SPEAKER_00]: We are to carry the kingdom of God with us everywhere we go and release this kingdom through everything we do.
02:27.962 --> 02:31.963
[SPEAKER_00]: We are called by Jesus to bring heaven to earth.
02:34.123 --> 02:42.025
[SPEAKER_00]: In Matthew 1619, Jesus tells his disciples, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
02:43.065 --> 02:46.946
[SPEAKER_00]: And whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven.
02:47.926 --> 02:51.767
[SPEAKER_00]: And whatever you loose on earth shall be loose in heaven.
02:53.462 --> 02:59.906
[SPEAKER_00]: What would it look like for the people of God to release the kingdom of heaven everywhere they go?
03:01.467 --> 03:13.134
[SPEAKER_00]: What would it look like for even just a few of us to truly say yes to the calling of God on our lives, to live for more than just worldly pleasure and comfort.
03:13.995 --> 03:19.478
[SPEAKER_00]: To step outside of ourselves and live with an eternal perspective.
03:22.300 --> 03:28.425
[SPEAKER_00]: you are made to make an eternal impact far greater than you can imagine.
03:29.526 --> 03:45.618
[SPEAKER_00]: God has placed within you keys to the doors of heaven, and he longs to use you to release his love, grace, peace, mercy, and redemption to others in desperate need of him.
03:47.495 --> 03:58.102
[SPEAKER_00]: He longs to call you out from the daily grind of life into a higher pursuit of seeing the earth transformed by his goodness.
04:00.244 --> 04:05.607
[SPEAKER_00]: Seeing heaven come to earth, all starts with declaring your need of God.
04:06.988 --> 04:15.194
[SPEAKER_00]: It all starts with drawing a circle around yourself and allowing God to transform you from the inside out.
04:16.892 --> 04:20.515
[SPEAKER_00]: You are not called to minister to others in your own strength.
04:21.776 --> 04:25.178
[SPEAKER_00]: You are not called to figure out how to best love people.
04:26.459 --> 04:31.322
[SPEAKER_00]: You aren't even called to muster up a desire to bring God's kingdom to earth.
04:32.884 --> 04:38.287
[SPEAKER_00]: All the weight of eternal impact rests on the shoulders of your heavenly Father.
04:39.371 --> 04:51.656
[SPEAKER_00]: All that is required of you is to take time to let God love you, fill you with the desires of his heart and follow his leadership into the fulfillment of those desires.
04:53.216 --> 05:01.259
[SPEAKER_00]: God wants to take your five loaves of bread and two fish and multiply it to feed the souls of thousands.
05:02.820 --> 05:05.921
[SPEAKER_00]: Say yes to partnering with the Holy Spirit.
05:06.918 --> 05:15.921
[SPEAKER_00]: and allow God to use you to change the world by bringing His kingdom to earth through simple acts of love and obedience.
05:17.842 --> 05:30.486
[SPEAKER_00]: Take time and guided prayer to allow God's Word and His Spirit to teach you empower you and release you into the calling of bringing heaven to earth today.
05:57.988 --> 06:04.274
[SPEAKER_00]: As we begin, meditate on the calling to bring God's kingdom to earth.
06:06.196 --> 06:13.843
[SPEAKER_00]: Allow scripture to lay a foundation for powerful works of God's Spirit to pour out through your life.
06:15.765 --> 06:22.011
[SPEAKER_00]: Matthew 1619 says, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
06:23.002 --> 06:26.783
[SPEAKER_00]: And whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven.
06:27.723 --> 06:31.704
[SPEAKER_00]: And whatever you lose on earth shall be lost in heaven.
07:12.210 --> 07:17.413
[SPEAKER_00]: And next, what keys has God given you to release his kingdom?
07:18.674 --> 07:21.256
[SPEAKER_00]: What spiritual gifts has he given you?
07:22.737 --> 07:25.078
[SPEAKER_00]: What ways do you best love people?
07:26.614 --> 07:30.024
[SPEAKER_00]: How has he used you in the past to reveal his love?
08:11.460 --> 08:12.001
[SPEAKER_00]: and last.
08:13.182 --> 08:17.427
[SPEAKER_00]: Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you how to bring heaven to earth today.
08:19.069 --> 08:22.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Ask him to fill you up that you might pour out.
08:24.135 --> 08:29.501
[SPEAKER_00]: Ask him to tear down any walls that would keep you from loving him and others well.
09:11.846 --> 09:19.131
[SPEAKER_00]: Being used by God to bring heaven to earth is meant to be a part of the normal daily Christian life.
09:20.432 --> 09:29.018
[SPEAKER_00]: We are called to more than simply working a job, going to school, hanging out with friends and trying to enjoy life.
09:30.452 --> 09:36.159
[SPEAKER_00]: No matter what job you work, God wants to bring the kingdom to earth through you.
09:37.621 --> 09:46.413
[SPEAKER_00]: No matter who your friends are or where you find yourself, God wants to bring the kingdom to earth everywhere around you.
09:48.022 --> 10:02.031
[SPEAKER_00]: If you will say yes, every day, to the adventure of being used by God, your life will begin to take on a whole new purpose, so much more fulfilling than anything you've previously experienced.
10:03.732 --> 10:07.995
[SPEAKER_00]: May you live to see God's kingdom come to earth through your life today.
10:18.185 --> 10:20.466
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for listening to today's podcast.
10:20.966 --> 10:22.867
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Josh Miller with verse 15.
10:23.787 --> 10:32.730
[SPEAKER_00]: As a practical to go out on today, take a few moments to think about one way you could allow God to bring heaven to earth through you today.
10:33.811 --> 10:38.012
[SPEAKER_00]: Take what the Spirit showed you in prayer and think about how you can apply it.
10:38.732 --> 10:39.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Who needs love today?
10:40.553 --> 10:43.154
[SPEAKER_00]: Who needs healing or financial provision?
10:43.854 --> 10:45.855
[SPEAKER_00]: Who simply needs someone to listen?
10:47.149 --> 10:51.398
[SPEAKER_00]: Have a wonderful rest of your day and may God bless you as you seek him.
