Bringing Heaven to Earth - some musings

Did you know that when we praise God and worship Him we are changing the spiritual atmosphere around us?

Did you know that when we speak out something, make a declaration we are changing the spiritual atmosphere around us?

Did you know that when we curse something, I’m not talking about “ culturally bad words”, but words that speak negative toward a person, a city or a government that we add to the enemy’s arsenal?

Did you know that when we speak or declare healing and hope towards a person, a city or a government we are changing that spiritual atmosphere?

Did you know that when we pray, we don’t have to “beg” God for anything?

Did you know that we, as the sons and daughters of God, may sit on our thrones in Heaven and declare the Father’s heart?

Did you know that as we sit in REST on our thrones in Heaven, we can make a difference here on earth?

What is bringing Heaven to Earth?

It is not trying to politically oust a political party because you don’t agree with it.

It is not just sitting around and talking and complaining that “things aren’t going
 well” or “why is this or that happening”; I am helpless; I don’t have a voice.

It is not listening to the fear mongers on the TV news and then feeling helpless.

It is not talking about “Oh woe is me!”

It is not just sitting in a pew every Sunday getting fat on words, with no practical
spiritual exercise.

It is:

Learning to Love as Jesus loved others in the world.  Not just people like myself.

Being aware of who is around you and needs a smile,some food, an encouraging word or a hug.

Being willing to listen to God and not just talk so you can’t listen to what He
has to say.

Being in prayer and listening to the Father's heart, then going and doing what God said.

Standing in who you are IN Christ.

Knowing your Identity and Destiny in Christ.

Working through Heaven’s Government, rather than man’s. (It's much more economical and practical.)

This is bringing Heaven to earth.
