“Matthew 6:10 (KJV) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Thy will be done”
Faith is not hoping God can, it’s knowing He will.
Matthew 6:33 (KJV) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
Matthew 6:10 (KJV) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
To pray “Thy will be done” is to seek the heart of God.. Our will comes in second His will First..
Let’s take a look at two people on their way home on the morning of the Resurrection. I first have to ask myself this question. “How could they have been so close to Christ and miss the point?” How do we do the same?
First mistake:
These 2 fail to believe what their friends saw and said. Birds of a feather flock together.
- Believers hang around other believers.
- Drinkers hang around with other drinks…...
- discouraged people hang around discouraged
- Those who want to make wrong right the same
Want to know who you are? Who do you like or feel more comfortable hanging around with? When someone asks you to go to church do you feel comfortable?
Luke 24:22 (KJV) Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
Luke 24:24 (KJV) And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
- What did the women say?
Luke 24:3 (KJV) And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
He’s not there! One way God speaks to you is through other believers.
Where would you find other believers? Church, Sunday School or maybe someone has a Bible study at their home.
Around whom do you feel most comfortable being around?
That’s why the enemy doesn’t want you in Church. These 2 were in a spiritual slump so they would rather be home than find out the real truth. They didn’t want to be with other believers.
Second Mistake:
Is that these 2 had listened to their fears rather than referring to the Scriptures; Or searching out the facts. The Lord calls them fools. Why did He do such a thing? Because after all they had seen and been a part of now on the greatest day in history they are sad and walking away.
Luke 24:25 (KJV) Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Luke 24:26 (KJV) Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
Luke 24:27 (KJV) And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
- Through His prophets,
- through His Word
- He revealed His will. He does the same today.
John 6:39 (KJV) And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. Have you? Can you? Lose your salvation.
John 1:12 (KJV) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: How did you stop being a son?
John 1:13 (KJV) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
How did you become unborn?
2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
- God is not an Indian giver?
- Our birth is not based on my performance?
The Scriptures tell us the Father’s will. God’s will for every person that has ever been born is to spend eternity with Him in Heaven. So let us ask ourselves this question.
- If you found a treasure map floating in an old bottle what would you do with it? The map was to a spot only 5 miles away. Would you take the time to search it out?
- God has left us a treasure map called the Bible. It tells of a greater treasure than Ponce dé Leon so called found in Florida.
- In this treasure map called the Bible, it will not only teach you of real life and how to get it. It also comes with a grantee. With NO small print.
