For most of my life I have heard people talk about seeking the will of God for their church, or their personal life, or their career. Many of us have treated the will of God as if it’s unknown or unknowable….
But the will of God is simpler and plainer than we have thought…. The will of God is simply this: “On earth as it is in heaven.” Isn’t that basic? Isn’t that refreshing? When we pray, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,” we’re praying for the King’s dominion and will to be realized right here, right now…. God has not kept His desires secret: He wants the reality of Heaven to invade this rebel-torn world, to transform it, to bring it under His headship. What is free to operate in Heaven—joy, peace, wisdom, health, wholeness, and all the other good promises we read about in the Bible—should be free to operate here on this planet…. What is not free to operate there—sickness, disease, spiritual bondage, and sin—should not be free to operate here, period.
