Jesus’ prayer was that God’s will be done on earth, just like heaven. He wanted a taste of heaven to be in evidence on the earth. Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with yourdailyeword. God wants heaven to come where we live. That was the original design in the garden of Eden, but we all know what happened when sin entered the picture. Thankfully, Jesus came, to re-established the original, and to reverse the curse for us. This week, be encouraged knowing that God’s will can be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. In Matt 6:9-13 is The Lord’s Prayer – if you haven’t already done so, why not memorize it this week.
Is heaven in your house? When we look at the Lord’s Prayer, we can see that Jesus prayed that God’s will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. So, are you experiencing heaven in your house? When we hear the word house, we normally think of the place where we live, or your physical address. Really there are three kinds of “houses”. My body is a house. My family is a house. My Church is a house.
I am a spirit, I have a soul/mind, I live in a body
We each have a house or apartment that we live in
We come together as the House of God in your church local fellowship.

That is where, as we follow God with all of our heart, the Spirit of God leads, the soul/mind is renewed, and the body follows. Divine order really is lining our life up with the Word of God, and making the choice to be obedient. It is making sure that our walk matches our talk. Making sure our actions match the life of God that dwells on the inside of us. Since we are “in Christ” we need to operate in divine order, under authority, yet given authority, servants of God, yet sons and daughters of God. If we want heaven to be in us, in our homes, and in our churches, we have to recognize and operate in the divine order that God established. Is heaven in each of your houses? Let’s make it our goal! God’s will is that earth
