On Earth as it is in Heaven

via TJC

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come,

thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

I’m tired and imagine you as a christian are tired of feeling like a second class citizen in America. I’m also tired of all the negative content that characterizes so much of the culture in America. 

That is not our christian identity, nor our American identity. We are the most blessed free people there has ever been -abundantly free. 

As sons and daughters of God, we were adopted in our second birth to bear the image of the creator of the universe. We are to be the light that dispels darkness in every facet of our life - our marriages, our family, our home, our neighborhood, our work and across all elements of our culture. As the Lord taught us to pray, we are to obey and demonstrate God’s will and bring heaven to earth.  

In 2026 TJC,  is going to use every opportunity in our daily battle orders to highlight and celebrate bringing heaven to earth in our daily lives. This year we celebrate our nation’s  250th birthday - a time and place to celebrate who we have become as a nation, the most abundantly blessed place on earth because of our founding and the sacrifices of generations of Americans. 

We do not lie down and let even the perception of evil take over

and influence our country. We rise up as Kingdom men, leading in prayer and our actions. Most of all we reflect joy in our actions. 

Our Daily Battle Orders are changing this year where we as a ministry will share and reflect joy in our writing and our actions. Today pray the Lord’s prayer and reflect what heaven on earth would look like in your life, choosing that  intentional frame of mind.
