Thy kingdom come . . .

“Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” [Matthew 6:10]

Early this morning before I woke up, I could actually hear voices in the house.  They spoke softly and sounded both male and female. Although I couldn’t detect familiarity, I thought maybe they were my children. I also felt someone sleeping in my bed with their arm out and could hear them quietly snoring. I remember it was loud enough I tried to raise myself out of my bed to see who it was.  I was trying to say, Kim is that you? No answer.  Then I woke up praising the Lord and rejoicing in my new day and excited to see what God has planned.

In the natural, my immediate thought was my kids are in the house. What I have come to believe is that the presence of angels were in my house. I had a peace with what I was experiencing and felt no fear or discomfort or dis-ease. At the moment I have no explanation for who was present in the bed with me, other than I have had a similar experience in the past and knew that it was the presence of the Lord.

Before I went to sleep last night, I asked the Lord to teach me about His kingdom.  I realized that I had limited my relationship with Him to what I can see and experience through the natural and what I am open to learning through revelation in the spirit.  I don’t want to be deceived, but because of a super abundance of caution, I realized that I am missing out on what Holy Spirit wants to reveal to me.

The words above, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” keep resonating with me and so here we go: There is no sickness or death in heaven, there is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness, faithfulness, abundance, provision, laughter, majesty, awe of God, majesty, beauty. If it is our responsibility to bring what is in the kingdom of heaven, just as Jesus did, then “How does that look?”

He healed all who came to Him; gave sight to the blind; hearing to the deaf; the lame walked; the lepers were cleansed; the mute spoke; the dead raised. He forgave sin, freedom to the oppressed, healed the brokenhearted and set the captives free!

If Jesus did these things and He gave us His authority to do the same, the question is “Are we?” and if so, “How are we doing it?” I would love to hear your answers.

We enter a relationship with the Lord through our eyes and ears as we read or listen to the Word of God, see and hear the world around us. We taste foods and smell flowers. We process that information through our normal thought pattern and filter it through the lens of our experience. We sense the presence of the Lord in our spirit, our thoughts or a knowing.

I realize by opening myself up to share, there will be those who may criticize or judge me. Be careful! You have permission to pray:

“Lord, I pray that the eyes of Beth’s heart may be enlightened, so that she may know the hope of Your calling, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints, and the surpassing greatness of Your power to Beth.” In Jesus name, AMEN! [Ephesians 1:18] You may also put your name or “my/me” in place of my name if you are seeking the same things.
