Unshakeable, Unstoppable Kingdom 8-6-10

Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are mighty to save, full of victory, hope, and life. And I welcome You into my thoughts and desires in all the experiences and encounters of my life today. … “Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, by which we offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe” (Hebrews 12:28). You are the King of the Kingdom of God. You are the “King of kings and Lord of lords” (Revelation 19:16). “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to (You)” (Matthew 28:18). Yet Your Kingdom is not merely far off in heaven somewhere. It’s not restricted in time to some number of years in the distant past of history. Nor is it restricted in space to some geographical region of some distant land of the earth we can never seem to reach because you just can’t seem to get there from here. “(Your) Kingdom is not from this world,” that it might be shaken by earthquakes, starved by famines, conquered by armies, ruled by governments, or defined by the false religions of men (John 18:36). Yours is an unshakeable, unstoppable Kingdom, established in Your will and advancing at Your command. And yet, in the sovereignty of God and the freedom of will that a true relationship of love requires, Your Kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven in response to the prayers of Your people, prayed in the tension of both trusting humility and bold faith (Matthew 6:10). Your Kingdom comes as we willing trust You and embrace You, yielding to Your will and Your ways in our lives, “for the Kingdom of God is within (us)” (Luke 17:21). Your Kingdom comes every day we die to our self-will and embrace Your will, every day we cast down our crowns of our kingdoms and bow our knees before the King of kings and Lord of lords, crowning You alone as King of all. “You (alone) are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they existed and were created” (Revelation 4:11). As we humble ourselves before You as King, You empty us of the spirit of this world and fill us with the Spirit of the King. “For the Kingdom of God is … righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17). That’s a Kingdom that the kings and kingdoms of this world cannot forever withstand. And one day soon we will hear the last trumpet and all the voices of heaven proclaim, “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah, and He will reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15) King Jesus, come rule and reign in my heart and soul. Establish and advance Your unshakeable, unstoppable Kingdom in me, more and more every day. Empty me of the spirit of this world and fill me with the Spirit of the King. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
