Most of us say the Lord's prayer every day and probably never meditate on the words. To pray for God's will to done on earth as it is in heaven is quite a request. God's will is His Word and The Bible contains powerful promises that are waiting to be tapped into; so that the power of God can be released in our lives. In order to understand the ending, you must also know the beginning. From Genesis to Revelation, the books of the Bible contains promises, blessings, commands, proverbs and prophecies that are mysteries stored up and waiting for us to mine like gold in search of gems like wisdom and revelation to know the will of God.
Heaven is referred to as the Lord's holy, glorious home or His lofty throne, holy and glorious (Isaiah 63:15 NIV/NLT). Just the description alone peaks my interest and should entice someone to long for such a place. According to 2 Peter 3:13 (NIV), we are promised and should be looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. If none of us are righteous (Romans3:10), how can we long for such a thing? The answer is in The Blood. The sacrifice of Jesus and the blood He shed on the cross was the price He paid for the sins of all mankind. Hebrews 9:22 (NIV) says, "In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Righteousness by definition is morally right or in right standing with God. We are the righteous of God through Jesus Christ only.
The Apostle John wrote this about heaven.. "And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Revelation 21:3-5 (NIV).
To know the promises of God is a gift to us unto salvation. To believe the promises is life everlasting and divine revelation from the Holy Spirit. God's righteousness and justice should not only be searched for throughout the treasure trove of his Holy Book - The Bible; but we should chase after Him daily praying for His kingdom to come on earth and in our lives, as it in in Heaven.
Almighty God, thank you that by Your Holy Spirit we are able to receive divine wisdom and revelation. Grant us understanding of what is the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ's love for us. Give me a fresh revelation of Jesus and what took place on the cross so that I not only seek You, but chase after You. In the chase, let Your goodness and mercy follow me all the day of my life. I give thanks and praise through Jesus Christ, Amen!
