When We Make Jesus Lord of our Lives; Those Around Us Will See the Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control that Flows from His Spirit (10.30.17)

Our King holds the highest authority in his Kingdom.
He reigns and He rules.

As Faith Believers, we see the result of sin and evil all around us through selfishness, betrayal and crime everyday. We long for GOD’s presence, GOD’s ways, and GOD’s Kingdom to be present on earth.

When we ask for GOD’s Kingdom to come in the Lord’s Prayer, we invite Him to rule. Righteousness, truth and justice form the foundation of GOD’s Kingdom. He applies these principles with mercy, compassion and grace.

John tells us of a day when the kingdom of this world will become the Kingdom of the Messiah (Revelations 11:15).

We may not realize that GOD’s Kingdom has come on earth,
     right now, through us.

When Christ reigns in our hearts, His Light
     shines, through us, in this dark world.

When we make Jesus Lord of our lives; those around us will see the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control that flow from His Spirit.

So, we bow before our King, surrendering our wills and embracing His will. Although we often pray the Lord’s Prayer it’s a deeply personal prayer. “Your Kingdom come” is a prayer of submission.

GOD,
You are Holy and I surrender myself to You, today.

I ask You to reign in my heart.
May I have the desire to do your Will.

Reign in my life Lord,
     so that others will see Your Goodness
     and Your Glory, and turn to You.

Amen
