Thy Will Be Done In Earth

 

“...as the days of heaven upon the earth.”

Deuteronomy 11:21

 

Be resolved the Word of God carries weighty influence along with its power and authority. Every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God images the highest standards that are settled in heaven. As you dutifully apply the Word skillfully, it will have free course and be glorified in the earth to accomplish what God sent it to do. It cannot be overruled.

            God's Word is God's will. It is the Word of Christ that God wants to dwell in you richly in all wisdom. Deuteronomy 11 reveals the true value of the Word of God. Allow the Word to be the treasure of your heart. Living by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God multiplies your days in the land the Lord gives and cares for Himself. That is where the path of righteousness leads to for the heir of God. In verse 21, the Bible compares what we can experience on earth to heaven. “As the days of heaven upon the earth” is comparable with the familiar phrase in Matthew 6:10, “...Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

            In heaven, God Almighty reigns. In heaven, God has absolute control. In heaven, God has established the complete order. Thieves can’t steal anything and nothing can be destroyed there. The way heaven is operated cancels all the enemy’s assignments. In fact, satan can’t access heaven to cause chaos. satan has been banded from heaven, so he just has memories with no means of restoration.

            Jesus Christ addresses the difference between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world's mission statements in John 10:10. “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy [to reposition you as his slave]: I am come that they might have life [as a king], and that they might have it more abundantly [to receive your God-given inheritance].” This verse says the thief cometh, but it doesn’t say he got away with anything if you exercise your rights as a king. The devil can only displace you if you can be bound like a slave.

            Yes, the devil will continue to try to breakthrough, but always forcefully exercise your authority in heaven and earth to keep him fenced out. However, if he has been successful in confiscating your goods, Proverbs 6:31 resounds this promise that when a thief is caught "he shall restore sevenfold [seven times the amount lost]; he shall give all the substance of his house [restore more than what was stolen from you, even if it means emptying him out]."

            The thief is satan; not flesh and blood. Jesus Christ already captured him, so he has to make restitution whenever you make a demand under the authority of the anointed Word. The word “shall” implies the devil doesn’t have a choice in the matter to restore you. All I have to say is to submit yourself to God. Consistently resist the devil with the Word of God that specifically answers your request in faith. Shake and empty him out. satan will run in terror from you while releasing all your goods. The devil is no match for you when you submit to the will of God without any reservations.

            Righteousness is living an abundant life. Jesus Christ restores far more than what was taken from you; even restitution for any failed attempt that may have caused pain and suffering. No matter what has been stolen, killed, or destroyed, you can use your royal authority to actively participate in your own restoration. No matter how much, how little, or how long the enemy has been tormenting you, use your royal authority to actively participate in your own restoration. To do so, receive spiritual understanding of your role as king to bring all things back to order, balance, and wholeness as God willed.

            The way the earth operates should also cancel all the enemy’s assignment in all areas of your life. When you enforce your royal authority, always expect your orders to be obeyed immediately without any interruption or any interference from the enemy. The Word under your authority provides sufficient proof that it's God's will for you to activate a favorable judgment in the earth, thus bringing full restoration to you.

            One thing you must respect, but not tolerate is the authority satan has as the god of this world. Many welcome satan’s intrusion unknowingly. They end up adapting to or coping with his abuse. Any act of submission gives him place as your lord. If you are going to reign fully in the earth, bind the enemy’s hand and enforce him to loose your goods without struggle.

            satan knows his rights and unfortunately may know yours better than you do. Learn to always operate according to the standards of the Word when dealing with satan. You can’t send him back to hell because he has never been there. However, you can draw an indelible blood line around anything you need preserved and protected. Everything you cover with the blood of Jesus forbids satan to interfere and interrupt. satan knows he is bound by the Word of God because he knows the Word of God is the absolute truth that his deception, lies, and error cannot disarm. Luke 10:18-19 validates our victory over satan and his demon spirits. Jesus said, "And He said unto them, I beheld satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall be any means hurt you." I believe you will receive the revelation of your God-given authority over every known and unknown trick and follow-up attack of the enemy. I pray satan will be fully exposed to you as the defeated foe, not as the well known cliché suggests, “the devil is busy”.
