    Thy Kingdom Come , Thy Will Be Done , On EARTH As It Is In Heaven . Jesus own words , his instruction to us on what we should pray for . What do those words mean to you ? How are you going to interpret them and spin them around to mean what you think they should mean because you have already made up your mind a long time ago and you are too stubborn to read with an open heart and mind and would rather believe something wrongfully than change your mind . I'm sorry to be a bit contentious , I don't mean to offend but I can't not speak what I know , not feeeel ,know . The EARTH shall be filled with the glory of the Lord , some where in Numbers but can't remember where , sorry .

    Sister Sacha across the pond, good memory, Numbers 14:21, we also see in Psalm 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. We also see when Jesus comes to set up the kingdom here on earth, in Zechariah 14:4. Also we will reign here on earth 2 Timothy 2:12 Revelation 5:10 Revelation 11:15

    I agree anytime we study the Bible we need to keep in mind how our fleshly mind works. For most of our life, we function with our subconscious mind with little to no thought at all. We have programmed our minds with traditions, teaching, and things we learn by what we see and do.

    Preconceived ideas imprinted in our minds and when we read or hear a reading a picture automatically pops in our mind and it is two steps ahead of what we are reading, seeing, or hearing. A small test, read the following sentence quickly, one time.

    Mary had little lamb its fleece white snow everywhere Mary the lamb sure to go.

    Did you fill in the missing words unwillingly or did you stumble trying to read it because you have heard it so many times? I know this is not biblical but it could be if it helps study. It might not be we have made up our mind, it is more like our mind made it up own its own unless we can with prayer and consciously clear our mind.

    Sorry, I got wordy, love reading yours and Mishael's posts, instead of contentious I would use a saying that started near to where you live, from medieval jousts, you wear your heart on your sleeve.

    God bless,

    Hi RLW ,I was so relieved to read your post and one or two others who responded to mine . I honestly thought a was going to have rotten tomatoes thrown at me for it . When it comes to the Truth I do wear my heart on my sleeve , I genuinely can't help it . In person I'm quiet and laid back etc but once I start talking about the Truth it's a different me . The Truth is my joy my peace my strength my comfort and my sanity . When it comes to it and talking about it my heart is flesh , the rest of the time I'm a cool tough nut so I've been told ! Thankyou for your posts , please don't desert us , we all need each other on here I believe , we are smoothing each others sharp corners off .

    I pray the Lord's Prayer at all meals. It's so powerful. I get hung up on just 'Our Father' and head off into praise. I think it's more powerful than covid. Jesus gave us that prayer :D
