The Lord’s Prayer, a template for a Heaven invasion
The Lord has been teaching His church about His Father heart. ‘Our Father’ is something he wants us to declare from the depths of our being; we know he is a Heavenly dad, without malice, without agenda. He is not loving us to get us to do something or be somebody. He is an infinitely good Father who gave all to have our presence in his life.
He has been teaching us the priority of His presence. We have been learning to set Him apart as unique and special in our lives. Worthy of the highest honour in our hearts; the one we value above all other loves; the one we worship with real affection. We have been learning to hallow His name.
Without disregarding these priorities and realities we move into the kingdom coming. Knowing the Father and hallowing his name sets up a platform for His kingdom manifestation. Enthrone the King and the kingdom comes, love the heavenly Father and heaven comes!
The ‘heaven to earth’ manifestation is explained in the Lord’s Prayer itself. He lets us know what His will being done on earth looks like. Heaven is coming to earth and it looks like something we can experience. It looks like daily bread, material provision, debts released, forgiveness received and given, guidance away from evil and deliverance from Satan and his effects – oppression, control, sickness, demonization and all the destroying, stealing and killing he has been doing in our lives and on the planet.
I believe a profound set of breakthroughs are coming to those who have learned of the Father and hallowed His name. To those who have longed for something of heaven to manifest on earth to fix earth. It looks like material provision for believers and churches to do the things He is giving them to do. It looks like massive deliverance from evil for believers and unbelievers alike. This includes healing and miracles as the power of Heaven overrules the destructive influences of the powers of darkness. Release from addictions, small mindedness, depressions and lingering condemnation; Heaven invading earth through believers who know the Father and hallow his name.
