Heaven to earth, not earth to heaven

There’s a transforming tension for developing Christ-followers—we're heavenly citizens walking on earthly ground.

Too many have mistaken spiritual life for spiritual retreat. As if being a Christ-follower means withdrawing from the messy, complicated spaces of human experience. Like politics and government.

That's not who Jesus is. He isn't asking us to escape the world. He's asking us to transform it.

Here's something fascinating: The word "politics" isn't just about elections or debates. It comes from the Greek word "polis" … which is really about people. Society. How we live and move and care for each other.

When we frame it in this way, even politics becomes a spiritual thing.

Our allegiance? It's to the King above all kings. Which actually means we don't get to check out. We don't get to be passive. We're not spectators.

We're participants in something massive.

“He fills everything everywhere with himself”

Paul captures this beautifully in Ephesians, writing about something big: "The fullness of Him who fills all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him who makes everything complete, and who fills everything everywhere with Himself]" (Ephesians 1.23 AMP).

Everything. Everywhere. Filled with his transforming presence.

We're not here to withdraw, but to represent. To bring heaven's design into every single domain of culture. Art. Science. Education. Governance. Family. Business. Every single space.

This isn't about forcing beliefs—it's about representing a different way of being human. A way that brings heaven's DNA into every relationship, every system, every culture.

☀️ Jesus said we’re salt and light. Salt preserves. It stops decay. Light exposes. It reveals what's hidden. We're not here to blend in with the patterns of a broken world, but to strategically manifest something entirely different.

We're not chasing earthly narratives. We're carriers of a kingdom narrative that's so much bigger than our current moment.

We’re living now in the light and power of the new creation that's on the horizon. (BTW, did you know there will be nations in the Millennium and in the New Heavens and Earth on the horizon?)

Heaven to earth. Not earth to heaven.

🗝️ Kingdom prayer key

Prayer is magnetic. It pulls what wants to happen into the present—drawing the Father's purpose from eternity into the immediacy of our world. Think both personal lives and nations.

Overreaching courts

This week, we lift up the courts and their role alongside the Executive Branch in our nation.

🦅 Righteous Father, You are the supreme Judge of all the earth, and Your throne is founded on righteousness and justice. We lift up the judges of the United States—at every level, from local courtrooms to federal benches. May they be guided not merely by legal precedent, but by YOUR WISDOM AND TRUTH. 📖"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before You" (Psalm 89.14, ESV),

🦅 Father, thank You for strengthening Attorney General Bondi and the Trump administration to confront judicial activism. BRING LASTING REFORM TO OUR COURTS so that judges uphold the law with integrity, resisting the pusch to overreach. 📖"When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers" (Proverbs 21.15 ESV).

🦅 Father, thank You for COVERING the president, cabinet leaders, and Elon Musk with Your sovereign protection. SHIELD them from harm and death. Fill them with Your HEALTH AND STRENGTH. 📖”You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head” (Psalm 3.3 NKJV).

🦅 All-powerful God, we ask for your hand in ensuring GODLY SUCCESS IN ESTABLISHING THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. 📖“He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning” (Daniel 2.21 NIV).
