Heaven On Earth



Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is it heaven.


Think of it. Somewhere at this very moment is a place where Love can blossom without interruption. Peace and Tranquility permeate the atmosphere. Pleasure beyond imagination and complete Rest!

It’s the ultimate getaway destination.

Ah! You guessed it. It’s heaven of course.

But heaven is heaven, only because God is present and His will is being done perfectly there.

Now here comes the Teacher asking us to pray for God’s kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Is this an unrealistic prayer?

No, not for individuals who understand Jesus came not only to get us into heaven someday but to get heaven into us today!

Heaven is the Teacher’s hometown! This makes Him the only one personally qualified to speak on this subject.

This is what the University of Jesus is all about – learning from the Teacher who knows how to live in the Will of God - discovering the very principles that make heaven, well…heaven.

Together with the ever-present Teacher, students experience the constant presence of God. Heaven gradually gets on the inside!

In attentive hearts, the Kingdom comes. God’s will is done on earth as it is in heaven.

  1. Great insight, Denny.

    "I'm trying to get down to the heart of the mattter, but my will gets weak and my mind starts to scatter but I think it's about... Forgiveness... forgiveness" (Don Henley)

    Jesus prays "Forgive us our debts, as we have also forgiven our debtors."

    Then says, "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."

    We all understand we need forgiveness. We want forgiveness. We have no chance without forgiveness. How often do we simply forgive others? Without their asking? How forgiving are we? Are we holding onto something that happened days ago? Years ago? Have we forgiven - or are we holding tightly to something we shouldn't?

    This instruction coming from the perfect, the innocent, who never sinned against anyone, yet who would pay the price for everyone else in the world - He who sinned against no one, yet whom all have sinned against - and he says: Forgive.

    "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God has forgiven you." Eph 4:32
