Father, Your Will Be Done

Our Father which art in Heaven, hollowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven! The awesome Truth that goes right along with the Lord’s Prayer is that our Father's will for us on the earth is as splendid and glorified as His will is for those in Heaven! The most faithful thing that we can ever desire is for God’s will to be done in our lives and the goodness of His will far exceeds anything that we can think of! “Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]” Ephesians 3:20 Amplified Bible

Our Father's will is for everyone to be saved from the Lake of Fire! “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:3-4

Our Father's will if for us to be blessed! “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:” Ephesians 1:3 In Heavenly places, so we must have to wait for them? “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 2:6

Our Father's will is for us to be Holy! “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled. In the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight:” Colossians 1:21-22

Our Father’s will is for us to be perfect! “I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” John 17:23

Our Father’s will is for us to be knowledgeable! “That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;” 1 Corinthians 1:5

Our Father’s will is for us to be one with Him! “I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” John 17:23

Our Father’s will is for us to have peace! “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7

Our Father’s will is for us to be powerful! “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.” Ephesians 6:10

Our Father’s will is for us to do miraculous things! “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” John 14:12

Our Father’s will is for us to be just like He is! “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17

Our Father’s will is for us to have all of these things right now! “(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” 2 Corinthians 6:2

The next time you pray the Lord’s prayer stop and thank God that these scriptures are His will! Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly and today is the day of our salvation and our Father gives us the strength to rejoice and be glad in it! Today is the day that no weapon that has been formed against us will prosper! Today is the day that we can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us! Today is the day that Jesus will never leave us or forsake us! Today is the day that Jesus is Authoring and Finishing our faith so that we will know beyond any shadow of a doubt that all of these verses are our Father’s will for us! And today is the day that our hope in them will not leave us ashamed! Father Your will be done!
