On Earth As It Is In Heaven
When we pray “on Earth as it is in Heaven”, we are praying for the things Jesus desires. The very things he did as he walked on Earth. It’s the love of God crashing into people’s lives, causing radical change. Healing the sick, raising the dead, cleansing lepers, and casting out demons.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,
- Luke 4:18 NASB 1995
and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death; there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain; for the former order of things has passed away.”
- Revelation 21:4 AMP
Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.
- John 5:19 NASB 1995
We also read from Revelation 21:1-4 and Colossians 3:1-2.
What does it look like in your life as you begin to pray for those around you to be set free? Who is God putting on your heart to pray for?
Praying you would learn how to release God’s goodness into the world around you. Amen!
In the opening we incorrectly reference Matthew 6:9-13. The version we read from is the New Living Translation (NLT)
