What if you could worship the living God with a complete stranger anywhere, on the street, in the middle east, or next to you on a plane?
What if the fear of God and reverence for God were commonplace anywhere you went?
What if prayer were seen as a righteous and holy act, encouraged at every venue?
What if every sports star, movie star, famous singer, business owner and politician gave thanks to God for all their successes?
What if every person on earth knew the name of Jesus, knew the Holy Spirit and the word of God?
What if the love of God saturated every inch of the earth, and every person were treated with the utmost respect because they are made in the image of God?
What if every person shared this in common: We all went to church on Sunday morning, worshiped our Lord and took part in Communion?
What if war were only a thing of the past, because the world is filled with brothers and sisters in Christ?
What if every nation on earth would wrap their arms around any nation that is hit with disaster?
What if we laughed together, praised together, cried together, celebrated together, and shared all our brilliant ideas with each other?
What if God blessed the world with harmony, peace and prosperity, and the effects of the curse were reversed?
What if a poor person were considered to be anyone with a car older than ten years?
What if the worst disease we feared were chicken pox?
What if Bible studies were so common that you could attend five a week if you wanted to?
What if we looked at God's word so intently that we were discovering new and amazing things every day, put there by God for us?
What if having a cross around your neck were an endearing symbol, bringing brothers and sisters together in one purpose?
What if new and glorious songs of worship were created every day by people endowed with divine talent?
What if obedience to Christ's commandments covered the earth?
What if disciples were made of every nation, tongue and tribe, and we all joined together to give God glory and praise and honor and reverence?
When Jesus prayed this: "your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." He did not put it out there as only a good prayer. Our mission on earth is to bring about that fulfillment. We are God's vessels to this end. And when that is accomplished, and God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven, we will see the closest thing to heaven that could possibly be seen on earth. We work to this end. The first thing is to fulfill the great commission, making disciples and teaching them to be obedient to Christ's commands. When we do this, the rest will follow. God will bless the earth, and all the great and glorious things I mentioned will be true. Brothers and sisters, I urge you to pray and work relentlessly to accomplish this.
