When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He told them to ask:
“Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
— Matthew 6:10
For a long time, we saw this as a request for the future — something to happen at the end of days or in some far-off revival. But lately, we've come to see it as an invitation to alignment. This wasn’t just a prayer to be repeated. It was a pattern for how heaven touches earth — through people who carry the Kingdom.
Jesus modeled this perfectly. He didn’t just talk about the Kingdom — He embodied it. Everywhere He went, the will of heaven broke in:
-
Healing came because there’s no sickness in the Kingdom.
-
Provision came because there’s no lack in the Kingdom.
-
Peace came because storms don’t reign in the Kingdom.
-
Demons fled because the Kingdom has no rivals.
-
Resurrection happened because there’s no death where God reigns.
What Jesus did wasn’t magic — it was alignment. He said, “I only do what I see the Father doing.” That alignment with heaven is what made His words powerful and His actions fruitful.
The Pattern: Instruction → Obedience → Salvation
All throughout Scripture, this has been God’s rhythm:
“Go to the land I will show you...”
“Dip in the Jordan seven times...”
“Stretch out your hand...”
Each command was tied to a promise — and when people obeyed, salvation followed.
Even in my own life, I’ve seen this pattern play out. There were moments where I found myself saying something like, “If this happens, then...” And sure enough — the “if” came, and so did the “then.” It reminds me of the woman with the issue of blood, who said, "If I can just touch the hem of His garment, I shall be whole." That kind of faith wasn’t random. It was aligned with the will of God already at work.
At first, I didn’t understand how or why. I asked:
“What just happened? Was that faith? Why did that work? Why doesn’t it work with something like the lottery?”
Over time, I came to see the truth:
It wasn’t a formula. It was alignment. My "if... then" moments only bore fruit when they lined up with God’s will. Not just what I wanted, but what He intended. Faith isn’t a tool to get what I want. It’s a connection to what He’s already doing.
The Kingdom Is Not Far
When Jesus said “The Kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21), He was revealing something radical: this isn’t about distance — it’s about awareness and alignment.
When we walk in obedience, understanding, and identity — we walk in the Kingdom.
That means we can carry:
-
Peace into chaos
-
Provision into need
-
Healing into brokenness
-
Hope into death
Not because we’re powerful — but because we’re aligned with the King.
So We Pray: Kingdom Come
Not as a wish, but as a declaration:
🗣️ Let heaven’s will be done right here — in us, through us, around us.
Let healing come where there’s been pain.
Let peace come where there’s been anxiety.
Let provision come where there’s been lack.
Let righteousness come where shame has ruled.
Let Your Kingdom come.
