I have been blogging chapters from Called By Christ To Be ONE.
This blog deviates from that with something I have just received from God.
Your Kingdom Come Your Will Be Done On Earth As In Heaven.
This is what Christ Jesus taught His disciples to pray.
This prayer was not for the by and by but for the here and now.
Why do I say that?
Because Jesus said that the Kingdom of God had come upon them
When He performed His miracles;
It was a demonstration of the finger of God.
The miracles were the evidence
That God's Kingdom had come to earth as in Heaven
Where everything is supernatural.
Christ Jesus conferred His Kingdom,
This Kingdom of the supernatural on His disciples.
The Kingdom belonged to them; it was theirs.
He said it was inside them, Christ in them.
After Christ Jesus left this earth,
The fact that His Kingdom had come to earth as in Heaven
Continued to be manifested, as demonstrated in the Book of Acts.
It continues to this day as recorded by history.
Every revival in history demonstrated the reality of God's Glory
And the presence of His Kingdom on earth as in Heaven.
Glory is the atmosphere of Heaven;
The atmosphere created by the manifest Presence of God
Who is a Spirit;
Scripture teaches that when you speak against
What can only be produced by the Spirit of God it is unforgivable,
Because you are speaking against God Himself.
You are speaking against what can only be produced by God.
The Pharisees did this
When they claimed that Christ Jesus performed His miracles
By the power of Beelzebub.
The Acts of Christ Jesus could only be produced by God Himself.
The Gospels are the Acts of Christ Jesus.
Acts that can only be produced by God.
Unbelief, in the face of that produce by Christ Jesus,
God in flesh, is unforgivable.
There is no hope for it. It is condemned and already dead.
Belief and faith are LIFE and LIFE itself
Belief and faith are supernatural.
In Heaven there is no hope and there is no faith, they are realized.
There is no need to hope for or have faith in what one has.
Everyone in Heaven is ONE with God Himself.
Everyone in Heaven has the character and being of Christ Jesus.
In Heaven the atmosphere is Glory, created by the Presence of God.
It is pure and Holy as God is pure and Holy.
Like air is the atmosphere of earth, Glory is the atmosphere of Heaven.
It is completely supernatural
In Heaven there is nothing natural.
Every person who believes in their heart
That God raised Christ Jesus from the dead
And makes a confession of that faith;
That Christ Jesus is their Lord, is saved.
This is a supernatural event brought about by God himself.
No person can be saved by natural means.
What brings about this belief and this confession? It is an Act of God.
It is a supernatural Act of God.
Each person who has been saved has been saved supernaturally.
There is no other way.
There is no work of man that can accomplish this.
That would be the ultimate blasphemy.
The Good News is that God's Kingdom has come to earth as in Heaven.
It is supernatural, there is nothing natural about it.
God's Kingdom is the realm of His Glory.
It may be proclaimed by a man
But belief and confession can only be produce by God.
It is God touching the heart of a man or woman
And reveling Himself to them.
Out of this revelation they are able to believe
And make their confession of faith.
This revelation is completely supernatural.
What does God say that the New Covenant is?
He tells us, that unlike the Old Covenant that remained in the natural,
In the New Covenant He places His law in our minds
And writes them on our hearts;
This is a completely supernatural event done by God.
So, getting saved begins with a supernatural revelation from God.
A revelation of His Kingdom on earth as in Heaven.
In Heaven all is revealed.
Nothing is hidden, everything is transparent;
Everything is Glorious, everything is supernatural.
Christ Jesus says we are to pray,
To ask God to bring His Kingdom to earth as in Heaven;
That His will would be done on earth as in Heaven.
That everything we do on earth as as followers of Christ
Would be as it is done in Heaven;
That everything that happens in and through His people becomes supernatural.
When Christ Jesus sent His disciples out,
He sent them out to preach this message:
“The Kingdom of Heaven is near.”
He sent them out with His Glory, the Glory of His Kingdom.
He told them to heal the sick, raise the dead;
That what they were freely given (God's Kingdom Glory)
They were to freely give.
This was before The Day of Pentecost;
It was an example of what was to happen, typically, after Pentecost;
It was an example of what did happen, typically, after Pentecost.
How does anyone know that God is present or even exists?
When the Glory of His Kingdom is revealed!
God intended that this revelation of Himself and His Kingdom
Would be demonstrated through His people.
It was not to be simply words, but a demonstration of the power of God;
The power resident in His Kingdom;
God intended that the people of God reveal the tangible Presence of God
Through the Glory of His Kingdom, manifested.
Then everyone knows that the Kingdom of God has come to earth
As in Heaven;
Then His will is done on earth as in Heaven.
Then the work of the devil is destroyed,
Which is what Christ Jesus came to do.
That is what Christ Jesus instructed His disciples to do.
Christ Jesus said that the only people who go to Heaven when they die
Are those who have done the will of God.
The simple prayer that Christ Jesus taught His disciples
Is the express will of God;
That His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth as in Heaven;
That this be accomplished in and through His people;
That the lost might know that Christ Jesus reigns over all the earth.
The devil has no access to the Kingdom of God in Heaven.
When the Kingdom of God Comes to earth as in Heaven, he is excluded;
He must stand down, stand back, and depart.
When the Kingdom of God comes to earth as in Heaven
The strongman is bound
And rendered impotent.
He rules the world, for the time being,
But when God's Kingdom comes to earth as in Heaven
He is rendered powerless.
Jesus said that the miracles that He did
Demonstrated that He had bound the strongman, the devil,
The perpetrator of all that is evil.
Christ Jesus took from the devil what he had previously stolen.
Christ Jesus restored sight, hearing, wellness, physical wholeness
And even life itself.
When the Kingdom of God comes to earth as in Heaven,
It brings the wholeness of Heaven.
In the atmosphere of Heaven people are made whole again,
According to God's original intention.
Do you want to be made whole?
Get into the atmosphere of God's Glory, the atmosphere of Heaven.
Jesus came to destroy the devil's work.
The devil has perverted everything God intended for good.
Christ Jesus came to destroy this perversion,
By bringing His Kingdom to earth as in Heaven.
Christ Jesus said that as the Father had sent Him, He now sends us.
Christ Jesus has sent His people with the same equipment that He possessed;
As sheep among wolves, but with the attributes of His Kingdom;
The power and the Glory of God, the atmosphere of Heaven,
To destroy all the work of the devil.
The main tool the devil uses is his ability to deceive;
And this, supernatural, evil genius is a master at that among humans.
He has had 6,000 years of practice.
Nevertheless, Christ in His people is incomparably stronger than the devil.
We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
We can do exceedingly and abundantly above what we can think or ask
By the power of Christ in us.
We can declare the good news, that the Kingdom of God is here,
And we can demonstrate that fact just as Christ Jesus did.
This is the express will of God and the command of Christ Jesus.
We are to go into all the world and make disciples of all men,
Through the demonstration of the Kingdom of God,
So, as the apostle Paul said, that their faith not rest on the words of man
But on the power of God.
Without A Vision The People Perish
Without a vision, without a revelation, no one can be saved.
This is a vision of God and His Christ, imparted by God and His Christ;
A vision of the Kingdom of God and His Glory;
A revelation of the forgiveness, mercy, grace and love
Extended by Christ Jesus.
Before any of us come to Christ Jesus
We have been wooed by the Father for a period of time.
This wooing develops a vision within us, a revelation within us.
This wooing is different as each of us is different.
The Father's wooing is tailor made for each one of us.
Once saved, no one can maintain that saved condition
With out continuous revelation, without Christ living in us.
The apostle Paul said we are saved and being saved.
Christ becomes our teacher as He said He would.
When we are saved, the Father puts His law in our minds
And writes them upon our hearts.
This supernatural reality is to give us continuous vision, continuous revelation.
This continuous revelation is why we were given the gifts of the Spirit.
Through these gifts God continuously renews our vision;
He makes things new every morning.
The Work Of The Devil Is To Eliminate Vision
Before a person is saved the devil does everything in his power
To keep them from seeing the Way, the Truth, and the LIFE.
At the same time, God is wooing every person,
Revealing His Christ and His Kingdom.
Often this leads to a crisis moment where the person must make a decision.
With Adam and Eve, the devil told them that there was something good
Outside of what God had told them, the knowledge of good and evil;
That with this knowledge they would be like God.
This was a lie, as they quickly found out.
They were innocent, pure, holy, undefiled and living in Paradise,
But they were able to be deceived.
Had they known what would happen they would have never believed the devil.
Nevertheless, God had made it plain
That they were not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
They had the choice to trust God or believe the serpent.
They made their choice, disobeyed God
And suffered the terrible consequences,
As did all of humanity that followed them.
The devil appealed to the pride of Adam and Eve;
He deceived them into thinking that they could be like God.
A totally irrational idea;
In fact the same idea that removed him from Heaven
And doomed him to eternal death.
The Focus Of The Work Of The Devil
Is To Eliminate The Vision Of God's Church
The whole world belongs to to the devil as the apostle John told us.
Deceiving the world presents no real challenge to him.
The Church is the only entity that stands in his way of total domination
And control.
Once we are saved the devil will do everything in his power
To eliminate the vision that God has given us and continues to give us.
God had given Adam and Eve everything in Paradise.
God has given us everything in Christ Jesus.
God is Love. He is only one who is good; He is everything that is good.
Outside of God there is nothing good!
Everything outside of God dies eternally.
As long as we maintain our God given vision,
That there is nothing good outside of Christ Jesus,
And that we have been given everything that is good in Him,
The devil will be powerless to deceive us.
God has made it possible for us to live in His Kingdom
On earth as in Heaven.
We can live in the Secret Place of the Most High God.
It is true that we are still in a natural body,
But in every other respect we can live in His Kingdom,
The supernatural realm of God.
In this condition, the devil cannot touch us as the apostle John said.
As soon as we step out of this condition we are easy prey.
The Devil's Ancient Tools
1.The lust of the flesh: Allowing sex be a driving force in our lives; sex outside of marriage, adultery, pornography, etc.
2.The lust of the eyes: Always wanting what we do not have. Envying what others have.
3.The pride of life: Allowing what we have and what we can accomplish dominate our lives.
These are the devil's ancient tools to lead men and Christians astray;
The ancient tools he uses to destroy God's imparted vision.
His means of deceiving the Church of God are seen in Scripture.
The Deceived Church
1.Having a form of faith in Christ but denying its power: Saying that the gifts of the Spirit and the miracles of Christ are not for today. Such a Church renders itself blind. This is a Church without vision and naked. This is the Church that Christ Jesus encountered in His day. They diligently studied the Scriptures but could not recognize their Messiah. Their worship is only rules made up by men.
2.Claiming to belong to Christ but living like the devil: This is the problem that so many of the New testament letters address. These are people deceived and destined for hell unless they turn around and live for God.
3.Having forsaken their first love: Christ Jesus makes it very clear that maintaining our first love is critical.
4.Thinking that they are alive but are actually dead: By outward appearance this Church seems to be alive, but God does not look as man looks, He looks at the heart. If the heart is not right, it is not right with Him.
5.The lukewarm Church, rich and in need of nothing: This Church lacks first love, passion, and zeal for Christ. They have a fine church building, plenty of money, and everything that appeals to men but Christ Jesus spits such a Church out of His mouth.
All the Churches above have lost their vision through the deception of the devil.
The devil is very proficient at deceiving the Church of God.
This can be seen throughout the Old Testament,
It can be seen in the New Testament Letters,
It can be seen in the Seven Letters to the Seven Churches
In the Book of Revelation;
It can be seen from all of history.
In fact, from the view of Scripture,
There is far more deception in God's Church than there is faithfulness to Him.
Nevertheless, Christ Jesus said
That the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church.
Therefore we know that this will be the case.
However, we also know that it was always a Remnant out of the larger body
That maintained their faithfulness to God.
We can fully expect this pattern to continue in our day,
The Time Of The END.
There will be a Remnant who will maintain their God given “vision”
And not allow it to be dulled or destroyed by the deception of the devil.
Living In His Presence Is The Ultimate Vision;
In His Presence Time Is Suspended
In His Presence God reveals to us what He wants us to know;
What we need to know.
In His Presence time has no meaning, it does not exist
Because His Kingdom has come to earth as in Heaven;
Time does not exist in Heaven.
In His Presence you are made whole as you will be in Heaven
Unencumbered by the cares of this world.
In His Presence the cares of this world vanish;
You are lost in His love, mercy, and grace.
You have entered the Glory realm of God; you never want to leave.
It is as if you have died and gone to Heaven.
It is as if you have been born again, again.
When Christ Jesus returns, and meet Him in the air, we shall be like Him,
Because we shall see Him as He is.
In the Glory realm of God you see Him as He is.
It is a foretaste of the permanent, supernatural reality that's coming.
You then become like Him, whole, complete as He is.
His Presence is intoxicating, as it was for the 120 on The Day of Pentecost;
It is full of fire, the all consuming fire of God,
Which eliminates everything unholy.
There is joy unspeakable and full of His Glory.
Christ causes some to laugh their way to wholeness.
This laughter can last for hours
As the God of Heaven gives you His supernatural joy, which is your strength;
This laughter is the medicine of Heaven, from God's own pharmacy.
Only children can enter this realm.
It is reserved for the children.
The Glory realm of God cannot be intellectualized;
His ways are not the ways of man;
As high as the heavens are above the earth
So are the ways of God above the ways of man.
The Glory realm of God is reserved for children
Who are compelled by a child like love,
To climb up into their daddies lap, and love on Him as He loves on them.
You enter this realm as a child or you cannot enter.
In the Glory realm of God you may be in a large crowd
But it is as if you and Christ are completely alone.
There is no intimacy on earth like this intimacy with Christ Jesus.
Every earthly experience pales by comparison.
It is a foretaste of Heaven.
This is what the Church of God needs to introduce
To those who do not believe.
This is what brings people to Christ Jesus like no other.
God Himself is the evangelist, we are simply His instruments.
That is why David could say:
“One thing I ask, this is what I seek
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life,
To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and seek Him in His Temple.”
God had taken David into His Glory realm.
David knew what it was to live in the Secret Place of the Most High God.
To be covered with the feathers of God.
In the Glory realm of God the devil is driven out.
This can get exciting as devils are compelled to leave their hosts;
Not necessarily by prayer or any human intervention but by the Glory of God.
On the other hand there is an anointing the comes upon all present;
Some to minister and some to receive ministry.
Sometimes words are spoken, prophecy given,
And sometimes no words at all.
Simply extending a hand toward someone can cause them
To be slain in the Spirit.
Blowing on them can cause them to be slain in the Spirit.
The anointing of Christ Jesus is imparted to the ministers
And His Glory manifested.
The Kingdom of God has come to earth as in Heaven.
David said that one day in the Lords' Presence
Was worth a thousand other days.
One meeting in the presence of the Lord is worth a thousand other meetings.
One word spoken by God is worth more than a thousand words from man.
God can give you, in a word or two, more profound meaning than a library.
Once you experience the Glory realm of God you are spoiled forever,
And that is exactly what God wants to accomplish in you.
Then you are willing to be crucified with Christ to this world
And its miserable ways.
Then you will see this world as it is, a prideful pretense.
There was a sign along the interstate highway in Idaho where I was raised.
It said:
Are you lost? Don't worry about it, you're making good time.
That well describes the condition of the world.
The trouble is, the destination is hell.
For two thousand years the God of Heaven has been offering His Church
His new wine.
For two thousand years the Church has largely rejected it,
Saying that the old wine is better
Just as Christ Jesus said they would.
Men love a comfortable, repetitive, unsurprising religion
That promises Heaven,
And demands little or nothing from them personally.
Whose worship is made up of the rules of men;
Men whose hearts are far from Him.
Nevertheless, there has always been a little band of children, a Remnant;
The original group included fishermen and a tax collector
Who were willing to take Christ Jesus at His Word.
Willing to drink the new wine.
Willing to be crucified to this world with Christ,
To gain the Glory realm of God;
Willing to come to “know” the God of Heaven and His Christ.
Willing to pray Your Kingdom come, Your will be done,
On earth as in Heaven and mean it;
Willing to receive it when it came.
Think about it;
Virtually the whole religious hierarchy of Israel rejected Christ Jesus,
But a little band of children received Him.
Among those who will receive Him in our day is
The “Woman” of Revelation 12;
The Bride of Christ in this generation.
Who will mister in the fullness of Christ Jesus
For three and one-half years prior to The Great Tribulation;
Inviting all men to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.
Just as John the Baptist did;
Just as Christ Jesus did.
Just as the first apostles and disciples did.
Just as God did with every revival he sent up to this day.
Christ Jesus is sending His final revival through the ministry of His Bride.
She will invite all men to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.
All His children will receive their invitation; they will all be there.
Seek First The Kingdom Of God
Jesus tells His children to seek first, above all else, the Kingdom of God.
Where in His Presence, the things of this world grow dim.
His Kingdom, where Christ Jesus is lifted up to His rightful place;
Where He is seen as He is;
Lord of all, exalted King of the universe, Author of all creation,
Author of Salvation,
Seated on the Throne of Heaven in all its incomparable Glory;
Friend and Lover.
From that position and revelation He draws all men to Himself.
All those destined to Heaven.
Seek first the Kingdom of God,
Where we become like Him because we see Him as He is.
Where there is righteous, peace and joy; where Love reigns.
Where His people are made whole in Him, complete in Him.
The Kingdom of God, where there is all provision for His people,
Lacking nothing.
The Kingdom of God, where His Almighty power is given to His people,
To accomplish His plan and His purposes.
The Kingdom of God where the River of God flows continually;
Where the Living Water is served continually.
Where the people of God drink continually; are immersed continually,
In the atmosphere of His Glory.
Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)
Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
