THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN

I never understood that part of the Our Father prayer, "thy will be done on earth as in heaven". I always thought that Heaven is perfect so how can we be perfect on earth where sin has fallen upon us? In the past two months I have prayed so many prayers and the Our Father is one I started praying very slowly and thinking about every part of the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples to pray and the prayer was written down and passed on to us today. (Matthew 6:9-13)

This is what the Holy Spirit taught me. We are to do our very best in thought, word, and deed to try and live on earth as if we are already in heaven. This life on earth is like writing a draft copy of a book before it is edited and sent to the publisher for print, in heaven we get all our t's crossed and i's dotted. Another way of looking at life on earth is taking practice laps around the Indianapolis 500 Race Track before the real race. The pit crew (prayer, Holy Bible, Church, God) get the race car (us) ready for the real race (living in Heaven) by working out all the problems so the car will drive smoother and faster before race day (going to Heaven).

When I give a drink to someone I am doing "on earth as in heaven". When I offer or help feed someone or many I am doing "on earth as in heaven". When I visit someone in the hospital, prison, or their home, I am doing "on earth as in heaven". When I pray or give praise to God I am doing "on earth as in heaven". When I plant a flower or feed the birds, well then I am doing "on earth as in heaven". I could go on but I will leave you the reader a chance to fill in your own blanks. Just read Matthew 25:31-46 and James 2:14-17 to help you see in the Holy Bible what "thy will be done on earth as in heaven" is all about along with Matthew 22:34-40.

I now see through God's eye's a different world than through my own eyes. My desire now is to live the rest of my life "on earth as in heaven"...

POISONING THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY BIBLE

The Holy Bible has many beautiful truths within its pages and the most wonderful story in the world of how a loving and gracious God came from Heaven to Earth to save us from sin and ourselves. What I have seen that saddens my heart is when men and women distort the Bible's precious truths. Sometimes they play mental gymnastics with a rubicon of verses to put together their own view of a topic and make the Bible appear to support their side. Both the liberal and conservative Christians do it and even those who are not even believers play this game. People who want all answers to life and faith but only from the Bible are some of the most toxic and unhappy people I know. Where is their Christlike love? Jesus dealt with this kind of mindset in his mortal time on earth and they were called Pharisees. We must be willing to take the Bible as it is written and what the writers led by the Holy Spirit meant. We must be authentic and transparent. Some things in the Bible are uncomfortabl

WHAT VOICES ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

Since the internet entered our homes and social media dominates the culture of the world we as a human race have rapidly lost our humanity in many ways. People are so vicious to one another and it is so sad to see how narcissistic we have become as a species. I am often balancing what I read and what I listen to so I do not become toxic and filled with false understandings and beliefs. So it is very important to consider just what voices you are listening to and what voices are you reading. What is the mindset of the people, shows, and music you are allowing into your life? We need to be more alert to not allowing trash into our minds, ears, and eyes. Let us not become a landfill for society's useless trash. If you let garbage in soon it will be garbage out. What is most in your heart will eventually come out the mouth both spoken and written. Matthew 15:18-20

ELECTION YEAR 2024! OH BOY!

Yes, folks, it is an election year and of course, both parties believe they are going to save the world. Sorry, but Jesus Christ already did that some 2000 years ago. Now the other fun fact about this is every election year it is a Chicken Little story all over again, which is the sky is falling if the Republicans get into office, and the sky is falling if the Democrats get into office. This reminds me of how news on the weather is nowadays. There will be one inch of snow coming which is the great white death from above so stock up on everything. The exaggeration from political parties and the news is absolutely off the charts in this day and age. Gone are the Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw days of newscasting. Social media can be used for good and even to spread the gospel message but also it can perpetuate lies and deceit. I hope it is used more responsibly than what I have been witnessing. So back to politics and voting, I would say do your best to try and find reliable informati
