“Thy Kingdom come…” Matthew 6:10a
John the Baptist said the Kingdom of God was near; but Jesus sent his apostles to preach, “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” Are you watching for the Malkuth, the Kingdom of God? Good news – it’s here – right now! Jesus said so!
Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He was reigning when the world was formed. He was reigning 2000 years ago as he walked the earth. As Jesus now prepares a place for us, remember that he never abdicated the throne. This is HIS kingdom; we just get to live in it.
Things realign when we realize this. For one thing, it can no longer be MY Kingdom; it’s THY kingdom. Are you ready to step out of the driver’s seat, relinquish all control? Are you ready to have Jesus be King?
Things to think about this week:
What would be different it Jesus stepped into our world today? If Jesus were CEO of your company – how would you do business differently? If Jesus ran your school – what would be different for the staff? …and for the students? What if – instead of answering to Washington, D.C. - everyone in our country answered to Jesus?
Welcome to Advent, a Christian time of preparation for the arrival of baby Jesus!

Thy Kingdom Come
October 31, 2011 Monday Message:
The Lord said to my lord, “Sit here at my right side, until I put your enemies under your feet.” Psalm 110:1 GNT
In the life after this life, good and evil will not exist together. Good will live in the presence of God, and evil will not be tolerated in the presence of God. Good people will be on one level; evil will be below them, under their feet.
God is taking his time, and God is patient. God’s wish is that none would perish, but we live in a fallen world, and some who rebel will not make it. There will be anger, fighting, bruises and blood spilt on the spiritual battlefield. There will be wars and rumors of wars until Jesus returns. Some of us will be martyred, but God will win.
Each day here on earth, we’re seeing more and more of God’s kingdom and less and less evil. The prayer, “Thy kingdom come,” is coming true, a little at a time. God’s kingdom (Malkuth) is destined for our physical world, and the earth is becoming “as it is in heaven.”
Those indwelt by the Holy Spirit, adopted into the Lord’s family, will be delivered from evil and reside in God’s kingdom, for ever, in this place Jesus is preparing for us.
Happy All-Hallows-Eve!
