Have you ever wondered what “God’s Kingdom is Advancing” means? God’s kingdom is the rule and reign of God—a truth that can change any life if understood fully and embraced daily. This truth is so vital that when Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He first told them to pray for God’s kingdom to come (Matthew 6:10). Turn to Matthew 6:10 with us. It reads: “your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Through the redemptive work of the cross, God’s Spirit is now actively at work on the earth through the lives of believers. As His sons and daughters, we actively partner with Him in reconciling creation to its original design by proclaiming the gospel, healing the sick and setting people free, and living our lives in a way that advances the Kingdom in our sphere of influence. Our heart desires to see God’s kingdom manifest on the earth as it is in heaven.
