The David Spoon Experience 9-11-24 part 2

The David Spoon Experience

1) One of the greatest teachings for all of us to grasp comes from the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus instructs people on how to pray. At the very beginning of this process, he presents a model, not with the intention that the exact words need to be quoted, but rather to provide a structure for us to follow. Within the framework of that prayer is the statement: "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." This model prayer serves as a guide for how we should align our desires with God's will and seek His kingdom in our daily lives.
2) As brothers and sisters in Christ, we need to understand that God desires to bring His kingdom into the affairs of humanity, at every level. When Jesus taught about the kingdom, He made it clear that this process begins within each individual. God desires His kingdom to reign in our individual lives, transforming our hearts and actions. This internal transformation is essential for the broader manifestation of God's kingdom on earth.
3) There is a future reign that is going to take place which is undeniable. However, there is also a current reign that is supposed to manifest in our individual lives. The Kingdom of God is both now and later. This message focuses on the now, on moving forward in God so that His kingdom is established in every area of our lives. By embracing this present aspect of God's reign, we can experience His power and presence in our everyday circumstances.
4) We will focus on access points to the Kingdom of God. If it is God’s desire to bring His Kingdom into every area of our lives, then it should be our desire as well. This raises the question: what should we do to bring every area of our lives under God’s kingship? Since the Kingdom of God is where God is king, we will examine the answer to this question. We will explore best steps that can help us submit our lives to God's authority and experience the fullness of His kingdom here and now.
