Thy will be done

Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.


Our Father which art in heaven…Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.


In heaven God's will is done.


Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!


Lucifer fell from heaven. Does this mean he tumbled off the edge of heaven to the earth? No, not literally. Figuratively Satan fell from heaven's graces. How did he fall from heaven- Our Father's dwelling place? Satan did NOT do God's will in heaven and this is why he fell.


God's will is selflessness. God's will is other centered. God's will is love for us.


Some people will turn around and throw it in the faces of those who believe in God's love that God is a narcissist.

Narcissist-- inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity.


They believe this because God says these words- 'Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.' They put their OWN sin-filled motivation behind their belief. They bring God down to their level and Satan is there to help them do so. They put a SELFISHNESS that doesn't exist in God into God's law. God's ONLY reason for telling us to have no other gods before Him is because as our HEAVENLY FATHER, along with the LOGOS who became Emmanuel - God with us, are the only ones who created us- we were created by NO others!


Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.


Our Creator … think about it… our Creator wants to protect us not to harm us but Satan would have us believe otherwise. Satan wants us to believe God is hateful, God is restrictive, God is self-centered, God is unloving, God is ALL things evil, but it's NOT TRUE! God's will is for love, God is for all things good!


God's will. We HAVE to want God's will and not our own done because HE knows the end from the beginning, we know soooo little in this grand scheme of things and to think that we know enough to question God's will…it's just preposterous. We do it though, we question God's will all the time. We don't like how things are in this life and we get angry and upset and we question how God could allow horrifying, horrible things to happen, we do, we can't deny it.


Yet Jesus tells us to pray…


Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.


We have to really mean this! Jesus doesn't want us to be lying as we are praying. We have to mean that we really, really want God's will to be done right now just as it is done in heaven. We have to totally submit to God's will. We have to totally surrender to our God keeping no sense of selfish, no self-centeredness, nothing in and of ourselves desiring our will over God's.


God's will be done. We don't have to understand, we don't have to like the things that happen in our lives. We just have to believe that whatever horrors we face that they are only temporary and ultimately it is God's will that we be with Him in heaven when Jesus comes again for us.


By His grace!
