Your Kingdom Come in me (Your KIngdom come)
And I just thought I'd extend that a little bit and then come in me. May your kingdom come over to 6 in this manner that for pray. Our Father in heaven, Hallowed Be Your Name. Your Kingdom Come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Another world is made up of people, I know, but you noticed, some of them are good, some of them are annoying. Some of the, some of the Monopoly, But part of the challenge of being mankind on Earth, being God's disciples, alongside a whole range of people, I bet you that our people you love, who you get you excited to be with. And there are probably other people to think the other side of the road. You probably know the kind of people the people of the world is made up of people, we have to learn to see his kingdom. Come And how does his kingdom, what is his kingdom look like first? Or if I was going to take you to a place to stay, if it's his kingdom? What would you be looking for? Would you be looking for Angels, flying in the sky? Would you be looking for a picture of Jesus on the throne? What would you be looking for? What is his my suggestions? And I'm not saying that complete or in any way. Let me see for his, my three suggestions of what you might see in God's Kingdom.
Presley, a place where peace Reigns, I don't just mean, there are pockets of bees. A place where peace Reigns, I mean space has its place pea-sized. Its pre-eminence is one of the most important things in space. He's not just without War PCS without Strife without struggling. If I asked you to hide, you had a peaceful week last week, you put some little peaceful struggle stressful, could be roped in the journey can go like that. Fine. Number to the Justice. Hold sway.
I don't know how many times I've heard people say phrases, like, that's not fair. That's not fair.
Justice isn't necessarily, but Justice is just Are then the overriding thing is that the rule of Love is a b.
Preferable Serve Yourself. Be selfless, not selfish.
I'm so your kingdom come has to be operated three people. It's not going to be up, right? In three buildings or posters your kingdom. Come. That means there's going to be an agent of change. Someone who's going to do something someone. He's got a pulse or something happen. We're peaceful, right? Maybe you're right. Maybe you are. Peacemaker. May kill someone who likes me. She doesn't like arguing. And so whenever you walk into a situation I need cents and atmosphere. You want to bring peace, you want to pour oil on Troubled Waters. You somehow change the level of tension. Oh, maybe you're someone who sees Injustice all the time. You want to see something at the kingdom of God, come and make things, right? I think of many people who made Justice that cause think of mother to raise them who in the, in the ghettos of women and men brought to a place of wholeness. And I remember reading sheet pan off this question. They said, how can you her and her group, how can you make a difference in such a sea of need, such a notion of need? And she looked at them and she said, well, I can make a difference to him, and I can make a difference to her and I can make a difference. She said, then we go to remember that. The ocean is made up of many drops. Yes, we can, but we can start to make a difference baby. We talked to change the whole world, but we can change our world. And then when there is no law of showing people a little love, showing the people, a little concerned, showing people, a little more of garden who he is, means that he's kingdom comes moment-by-moment. Just let me encourage you. How Full is Your Love by Bee Gees Bank? How full is your piece Bank? Fill them out. It's all skill to Phyllis that we have to give away.
But here's the thing, when I saw you a kingdom come in me. That means probably we've got to change. I'm doing quite right at the moment. Everything is running over to the monitor won't change.
but, you know, if we don't change Then we will repeat the same bad habits. We will repeat the same things, we will and not repeating history sometimes. So, I just want to look at some of the things that we might see. And so I'll start with Romans chapter 8, verse 18 to 23 But consider the sufferings of the present time, I'm not worthy to be compared with the glory, which shall be revealed in US.
For the earnest expectation of creation, eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to full Futurama T, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in Hope. Because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the Glorious Liberty of the children of God.
for we know that the whole creation groans and Labor's with birth pangs together until now,
not only that, but we also
Not only that. But we also have the first fruits of the spirits. Even we ourselves grown with ourselves eagerly waiting for the adoption in the Redemption of our body. I just read in that scripture something about we run out of all cells, we run out of language, you run out of expression, we run out of the ability to Do you ever do that to you ever in a situation? You got something into what your expression is something like that. Oh no, not again. Cuz it's the spirit don't spirit that enables us to to Beyond ourselves.
So I'm not looking at the sign. Your kingdom come in me without any Oz. Part of the answer is go to Holy Spirit. That's holy spirit. Will enable us for Phyllis and closes sometimes. I didn't know those moments when we run out of ourselves we run into guilt unless we running to God, we grabbed hold of what he bring. And we grabbed hold of what he gives us and we can use it for his glory.
First fruits of the spirit. I love that word first fruits, interesting concept, especially around this time of year. When we plan at Harvest time, we talked about bringing apple trees to droppingapples the Lost of the apples of the season. But we picked, many of them is very interesting. They would say, the first fruits or often Suites up the first fruits are often, just just a little bit different believe in our next bill on this. But I believe that when grapes across that the beginning of the season, a full of Life, full of vigor, on the first fruits, of the spirit of Full of Life Is Life and his vigor. Number. Wrong to read a parable about sewing in the gospel of Matthew. Maybe not the one that you're not the one that produces 30 60 100 fold. But this one, Matthew chapter 13 verses 24 to 30, which side is this
Stranger thing after another Powerball he put forth to them saying the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is so good seed in his field.
Waldman, slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
When the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tires also appeared.
So the Servants of the owner came to him and said, sir, could you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it that we have to lose? He said to them an enemy has done this, the 7th said to him, do you want to spend to go and gather them up? What did he say what he said? No last boss. You got the weeds with them.
Let both grow together until the Harvest. So I will say to the Reapers first gather together the tires and find them and bundle them and burn them up, but I gather the wheat into my ball.
My first thought is this my first intention, we do so he's what we do. So with love and with care and something comes in, I'll be sent to meet with, it's not what I intended, we still go to work and it's in light and well we can still go to work in a world where people are imperfect where people do things wrong.
Sometimes it's very easy to see something. You can see something out the corner of your eye. Could see something in the way someone behaves, when you go, I'm not sure about that. If somebody says of phrasal something. And when they say that phrase, you immediately jumped to an assumption Would you like to taste test need to be fully grown so that, you know, that wakes, the weeds weeds that I should have left that. So this particular scripture really does mean something to me, because I could about the wrong thing in the wrong way, on the At what it was now, a bad intention. It was about body aches, but you can sometimes you can't see the good from the bad. Sometimes, you just don't know. I remember having a conversation with somebody want to say I'm really concerned about a couple that we both knew why we had to Coffee. We had a chat and I said, okay, why is that a problem?
And she said to me, but I told you about it, she shouldn't even mention the word anyway. I said his my perspective, sometimes we need to look into the dark, so I could choose the good stuff, sometimes we look need to look in the West. On this particular. Couple, they did talk about the idle conversation with them, and they did talk about it, but sometimes we have to look at the stuff. I don't know whether you've seen the film Titanic. Brimfield fantastic. When did Titanic sink in the water, and there's a moment.
I'm there's no more room and there was somebody in the water, they couldn't get out and somebody out of the Lifeboat and go into the water till your window in church safe and secure. I think sometimes so let me come alongside you and sometimes you'll hear words you don't want to hear you want to go to la la la la.
But you know, if we don't go into the world and how is the gospel going to be for clients? God wants us to change other people in the life that we know and the life that we have with those who doesn't happen. I'm so when we preach the gospel, we preach the gospel Sometimes using words. Is that supposed to mean? I can't remember, but I believe what we do first before. I'm sorry I can think of people I felt the sometimes when I was a teenager might have would say I love you and I would think I hate you.
What do people see in? You was in my life where they see they today and that's why it's really difficult. Sometimes to reach your close friends and your family because they see you as you are on your way.
I love you, sis story before, but I'll tell you one more time, cuz I think it's relevant. We had when I was a student Outreach campaign with the GEICO direct elf, and I was involved with the planning of it. And the girl who lived at the end of my car. Do she said but I said it was a Christian and the other go to go to many many things. She didn't find Holland's, none had passed away. And she was struggling with that. She was finding it hard. But in the midst of a struggle, she turned to her room and said you want to come to this event. and we had a coffee lights, were just had this conversation said what made you come she's a bow and she had this perfect life, everything was okay I might life wasn't so when I saw this as being something that you had when you got that, so you kind of first thing you did was relieved and then you belongs and then you behaved
And she said, I'm not that. I haven't got my life yet, right? And so,
but she said the guy so hot in wrestling with our grandma's death and cry.
Said, I realize that fights was real and realize that the god that she was talking to was real and I want you to get to know him too. So, please don't always think that we have to present, all tidy lives to our neighbors. Sometimes some of the most important things that we can do is just be real. I remember leaving somebody's house with a couple who I respected. Well, I was just about to leave the house and I had a bit of a disagreement as we were about to leave to the end of the
And they said no. And then we had a bit more coffee and a chat in a piece of cake, and then I left early. But if you do, what you don't like me, the picture of, we've broken them, with some problems. If you, let me see the beginning of the story, we can extrapolate to many, many different ends. I'm so when we said your kingdom come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. That starts with us starts with the reality of where we're at. And let me encourage you to ask you, when's the last time you prayed with someone just simple Prime? What are the things I love is playing with children. When there's an opportunity.
Hey sis thing, we have a number of our friends who say talk about our list you need to know. Is it a list? I'm really it's the church's latest. It really is what we share on WhatsApp. But people say I can you put this on the list? Eliza typically people who don't have a fight but they know we have a fight.
There's a list parsley but that's the way they understand it.
I'm not sure what intersection is. Intercession is standing in the gap between Golden, others and sign Lord, Hear My Cry. I'm crying out for this cuz I'm crying out for
I'm sorry. That request a week involved in the front. It's not just the kind of Chinese Whispers us getting involved in the kind of prayer that we want to be honest. It Sorry, your kingdom come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.
and so, as I talked about love and peace and justice, Let's be change agents in this world that we live in. I don't know what do you like the film Mission Impossible? But I might go back beyond the film's to the series that used to have when they used to play a little type. Somebody used to get a little tight and then it would say something like this, your mission. Should you choose to accept it is this? And then, then they will be this little mission that was played out. And then this the type would self-destruct it would go up in smoke. Your mission. Should you choose to accept it today? Is this going to the world?
And you might say that's a bit of a tool one. Well, it's in here. I'm not, I'm not even changing the word, go, ye into all the world.
None of us have completed. None of us have got the full set of qualifications. So if you don't know what to do, is just tell you a story.
Hey is a story. My prices Pride last month and this happens and it moved. I know just kind of clothes he's back into into the gospel to charge you. Touch of God is giving you a word do something with it and put it on the Shelf, many of us, many of us would think something like that. If somebody requests, we going to be recognized with recognizing his commander-in-chief, I just as we saw a brass band, March past this morning, the father signals throughout, she wants us to function together in synchronicity together, he can actually bring teams of people to do things.
Play the night that she got invited the night. When she came 13, people in Vicodin. 13. Different people invited. I wonder what the threshold was 13. Request under fruit that they will buy the scripture doesn't say. So I'm that you will reap. It doesn't say that you said so and you will reap
Yeah, we have, we have a mental picture, we plant seeds in a pot, in the crestrose the carrots. Grow the tomatoes grow.
Pajamas. What? Scripture says so and you will reap. God. Comes the increase. So let me pry. Your kingdom come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.
Father, we know you'll kingdoms a good place and we seen glimpses of it. We want to see more know where we would not and the door will be open. We will seek, and we will find that we will see your kingdom at work. Father, help us to be connected with others and help us to be part of your plan and purpose. Do what you've told us to do and father help us to be those change agents. Do we do a mission impossible? You want to accept the mission possible that mission possible because of you cuz it what you want to do, what you're trying to do. And who do we want to say we were available to help us to be your agents of change? Help us to be the right word of the right time. Help us to be the helping hand when he's needed. Help us to beat the smile. When someone needs to be the encourages of God wedding courage is needed. Help us to be.
Don't pray for the sick. So when we see you sick people, that's, that's off of them. If they choose to say, no, that's fine. But if they say, pray, pray, the best pray, you can pray. Even if it's three words praying and she won't be able to see what God will do. Your kingdom come and your will be done in me. Oh God.
Amen.
