Having been back in Africa for about a month now, there has been one thing that the Lord has been breathing .  It is a burning inside me that is uncontainable and unstoppable.  It is not emotion it is a passion that cannot be quenched and is causing my paradigm to shift.  My view of our purpose in  life and Gods desire for the world and His creation has become so different. 

It is this idea of kingdom living.  In the gospel of Matthew in the chapters from the sermon on the mount (5-7) Jesus talks about prayer.  He says in Chapter 6:9-10, "In this manner therefore pray; Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.  Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven."   Now that is just a section of the prayer but have you ever thought about this part of scripture?  I mean really?  What if this was really how we prayed?  Gods will be done on earth as in heaven.

So often I have prayed for Gods will.  Not a bad thing at all, but I am realizing that the will of God is much simpler than I think.  "Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven."  seems so basic right.

 I love how Bill Johnson puts it in his book, The supernatural power of a transformed mind.  He says, ""When we pray, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done," we're praying for the King's dominion and will to be realized right here, right now…God has not kept His desires secret: He wants the reality of heaven to invade this rebel-torn world, to transform it, to bring it under His leadership.  What is free to operate in heaven-joy, peace, wisdom, health, wholeness, and all the other good promises we read about in the Bible-should be free to operate here on this planet, in your home, your church, your business, and your school. What is not free to operate there-sickness, disease, spiritual bondage and sin-should not be free to operate here, period.  That in a nutshell, is our assignment as believers on earth."

If we make this our goal on earth than the ability for lives to be set free, bodies to be restored and the rule of the enemy to be pushed back in every way is imaginable. 

My paradigm has shifted because I want this in my life.  I want to see Jesus set free on this earth to bring His kingdom here.  I believe that God has given every believer the craving for the impossible.  It is something that is just part of you that wont go away or fade the longer that you grow with the Lord.  My heart knows that there is much more to this life.  I want the supernatural power of God to be demonstrated. 

Jesus bring your kingdom, open the blind eyes, unlock the deaf ears, come to your people. Hear us from heaven, touch our generation, I am your child crying out in desperation.
