Where do you get your marching orders from?



Today’s blog post is contributed by David Trotta:

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.  Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

God desires that earth looks, feels, and tastes like heaven.  But that being accomplished depends in large part on us (His church).

When Jesus gave us authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19), the responsibility to bring heaven to earth fell on us.

So how do we bring heaven to earth?  By allowing heaven to influence our lives, and not the earthly system around us.

With all the noise and distractions around us, it is increasingly harder to hear from heaven.  But if we are ever to help bring heaven to earth as Jesus prayed, we need to get our marching orders from heaven.

We need to silence the voice of the world in our lives and tune our ears to heaven.

How do we do that?  Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven.

When we hear from heaven and bring the truth and power of God’s kingdom to earth, we transform it.  Through us, the earth begins to operate under the authority of heaven and God’s will is done.

As an ambassador of Christ, are you getting your marching orders from heaven?
