While I was praying recently, the Lord reminded me of something that I feel many of you, who are going through horrific situations, need to know. He said, "Many will face situations in the future that they cannot face here on Earth (without God's help). But I want you to remind them of what I told them to pray: "MAY YOUR KINGDOM COME, YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!"
"Therefore do not be like them.
For your Father knows the things
You have need of before you ask Him.
In this manner, therefore, pray:
"Our Father in Heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your Kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven." (Matthew 6:8-10 (NKJV)
Start Calling on Heaven to Come!
The other night, I was lying down thinking about the nation and the things that have been happening. It all seems so demonic. I felt as if the state of things was wearing on many Christians more than they know. Then the Lord said this: "CALL HEAVEN TO EARTH! Did I not say, 'Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind'? (See Romans 12:2.)
"My people must learn how to COME UP HERE SO THAT I CAN COME DOWN THERE! They must understand that as they ascend in worship and think on heavenly things, that is when My presence comes and transforms their circumstances, and thus they bring Heaven to Earth in the midst of these trying times!

"There is dispeace all around you, and a stench of death, but My peace I have given you. As you call Heaven to Earth, you will begin to not be moved by your five physical senses, but you will begin to smell the aromas of Heaven and taste of the goodness of God! You will see all of the visions of what My Kingdom is like and you will hear the sounds of Heaven!"
"Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle." (Psalm 24:7-8 NKJV)
See the Kingdom
As we lift our heads up to the heavens, the King and all of His glory literally enter into our circumstances, into our cities, our families, and our country! We are the ones who have authority in the earth, and we must demand that His Kingdom come! But we must SEE the Kingdom first. God is looking for those who have eyes to see. Also, He said that unless we become as little children, we will not enter the Kingdom; we will not see it!
Many miss the glory because they can not see with childlike faith, but God is looking for those who will LIFT UP THEIR HEADS TO THE HEAVENS AND LET HIM COME IN. When He does, then Heaven comes to Earth!
We Need Heaven on Earth
In this world right now, and in our circumstances, we need Heaven to come to Earth! God is saying, right now, to those of you who are burdened with the weight of it all, that He wants to bring the weight of glory into your situation. He said, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, the things that I have planned for those who will LIFT UP THEIR HEAD AND CALL HEAVEN TO EARTH! Ask and it shall be given to you! Believe. For all things are possible to those who believe!"
