LIVE IN THE WILL OF THE FATHER
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10).
The verse above is part of the prayer format that the Master taught His disciples. He said, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth…”, because when the Kingdom comes, God’s will is done. When Jesus came, He was the manifestation of the will of the Father; He was the will of God in human fesh. Hallelujah!
Jesus was the embodiment of God’s will; He was at the right place at the right time for the right purpose, in the right way. Even when they wanted to arrest Him on a certain occasion, and He sneaked out from there (John 10:39), He was still in the will of God.
God's will is manifested in His Kingdom, and the Kingdom executes His will. This means that the will of God is expected to be wrought in your life one hundred per cent, as it was with Jesus.
Living in the will of the Father is very simple. All you have to do is to live according to the Word and walk by the Spirit. The Bible says, “...Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulil the lust of the flesh" (Galatians 5:16). How could there be confusion in your life when you’re living in the will of the Father? Never!
The Bible says, “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know…” (Ephesians 1:18). If the eyes of your understanding are enlightened — if your heart is flooded with light with an abundance of the Word of God in your spirit — you become acquainted with the will of God, and the result is a life of unending victory!
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for granting me spiritual understanding, which transcends the use of the mind and the senses. As I live in accordance with your Word and by your Spirit, your will is wrought in my life every day, causing me to walk in prosperity, health and victory over the world and its systems, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
