Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.

For you were once in darkness, but now you are in the light of the Lord. Walk as children of light for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth, finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.   Ephesians 5:1-12

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is written in the Gospel of Matthew alone, there are more than 30 references to the phrase – Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus gives very vivid and detailed descriptions about what “Heaven” is like. My favorite phrase is in the outline of the model prayer that He says is the pattern we should follow, whenever we pray:

Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will BE DONE on earth, just as it is in Heaven!

This one declaration of faith, means that EVERYTHING we know about Heaven and all of Its’ Glory has the possibility and the Divine Purpose of being here, right now, on earth and in my life!  We do not have to wait until the “sweet bye and bye” or “one day over yonder on God’s celestial shores”. Because we have been reconciled by the Blood of the Lamb of God our names have been written down in the “Book of Life”. The best part of this miracle is that we can have Holy Communion with Him, right now, today and BE THANKFUL for His very Presence in our lives, our families lives, and in our local churches and synagogues!  Halleluiah!

 

Heavenly Father, we want nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else except Your Divine Purpose to be accomplished in and through my life today! I am Yours Lord, everything that I have belongs to You! My life and times are in Your Hands.

Nothing is impossible for You, Lord!  I was glad when they said, “Let us go into the House of the Lord” as we entered in His Gates with Thanksgivings and into His Courts with Praise! This can BE just like Heaven on earth!

Know that HE IS GOD, it is He that has made us, created us, and not we ourselves. We are His People and the sheep of His pasture (Psalm 100:3) just like Heaven on earth! 

Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the Power, and Yours is the Glory forever and ever!

Amen and Amen!
