Restoring God's Kingdom on Earth

2.  …to have God leading us with a pillar of cloud by
day and a pillar of fire by night?
 ...to have our clothes and sandals not wear out
even after 40 years of use?
 …to have manna from the sky and water from
the rock - direct daily provision from God?

3. “…Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our
debtors
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from the evil one”

4.  The earlier slide describes theWilderness.
 Canaan was occupied by other kingdoms. Israel
was instructed to possess their land.
 God promised victory, but Israel had to fight to
establish God’s Kingdom in Canaan.

5.  Wilderness was actually place of safety and
provision for the Israelites.
 But God’s will was for the Israelites to conquer
Canaan, the Promised Land – safety and
provision was not His ultimate plan for them.
 Likewise, God’s will is for the Church today to
possess its Promised Land, not just safety and
provision.

11.  Keep believers distracted
 Self- and world-pre-occupation rather than on “the
field God has assigned to us” – 2 Cor 10:13
 Keep believers living below potential
 “I have a destiny …born for such a time as this”
 Awakened but not arisen

12.  Keep the Church tactical, local,
uncoordinated and defensive.
 Retain monopoly of power in society;
minimise Church influence on society.
 Limited vision to advance the Kingdom of God
 Church-secular divide: ‘Thy will be done in heaven but
not on earth’
What defines earthly society?

2. Business & Economy
3. Communications & Media
4. Doctrine & Religion
5. Education
6. Family
7. Government

14.  Church:
 Strategic, Kingdom mindset
 Advance into societal mountains/gates
 Believers:
 Understand power of the Cross
 Know , declare and fulfill God’s plan
 Focus on Kingdom rather than blessing or self-preservation
▪ Rev 12:11 “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb …word of
their testimony …did not love their lives so much as to shrink from
death…”
 Operate under spiritual authority
▪ Jas 4:7 “Submit yourselves then to God. Resist the devil …”
