We are living in a desperate world. America is being entertained to sleep, Africa is disappearing from a disease, the UK is in contention of serving a false God called Muhammad, China is poised to take the earth through consumption, there are more abortions now in Russia then births, this generation is not interested in going to Church, what are we doing wrong?


When you here talk about bringing the "Kingdom of God” what to you think of? When people use this language they usually mean bring Heaven down to earth. It is the simple, great way that the Son of man taught us to pray;


Mat 6; “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” we must bring heaven down to earth over five area’s the Lord has set up if we want to begin to see change on the earth.


The five “Jurisdictions” of Heaven

  1. Personal – Self Government, accountability, “your body is a temple”.

  2.  Family/Marriage – How do you treat and respond to your wife and kids, are you training your children “in the way they should go?” (This means their greatest “Bent”, or who they were made to be, not just taking them to Church) are you in your “Unique ability” or are you wasting time wondering about it?!
  3. Church – The community, to which you belong, your life flow; are you “bringing the presence of God” to your community, or the place you worship?

  4.  Market Place – This includes your work, the arts, entertainment etc. do you “Work and play as unto the Lord”
  5. Social and Civil Government – Politicians, Teachers, how you give your life away daily. Paul said, “I die-daily”

When we talk about “Bringing the Kingdom” to our city, state and nation or how about a continent, how do we do that? We must encompass and model all five areas of the “Jurisdictions of heaven” or we will just keep doing nice things, and continue to see little to no change… Let’s talk about changing a planet in the next blog!
