Deuteronomy 11:21-24a gives us a glimpse into what God planned for His people in the good land He had prepared:
That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
Then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours.
What did God want for His people? Lack, turmoil, defeat? No! He wanted them to have the best of everything. He wanted their crops to be abundant and their homes to be fine. He wanted them to enjoy days of heaven on earth.
What does that mean? Well, during days of heaven on earth, everything is done just as it is in heaven. It’s done correctly in heaven. It’s done big in heaven. Everything is perfect in heaven. There is no lack. Heaven’s citizens don’t even know what lack is!
Days of heaven on earth include the ability to drive out enemies that are “mightier than ourselves.” You see, that’s why we can’t look at natural circumstances to see what God can do in our lives. We’re not dealing with the natural realm; therefore, we have to look past those circumstances and into the Word to see what God says.
Days of heaven on the earth! Days of supernatural provision on the earth! Days of increase on the earth! All this awaits us when we honor God and keep His ways. God has always wanted a people who would hear and do what He says, so He could manifest Himself and give us days of heaven on earth.
That was the essence of Jesus’ message when He went around preaching and teaching the kingdom of God. Jesus would say, “The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you” (Luke 10:9). In other words, He was saying, “It’s here right now. You can be healed and delivered right now because the kingdom, or the dominion, of God is here.”
Jesus manifested the kingdom of God wherever He went. Death had to bow its knee. Devils had to run. Sickness had to flee. The things of this earth, such as loaves and fishes being multiplied, had to respond to His blessing.
Well, our citizenship is in the kingdom of God. We are citizens of heaven, ambassadors representing the Lord Jesus Christ on this earth until Jesus returns.
I don’t know how much longer that will be. But however long it is, I am going to be one of those who continues to diligently hearken to the Lord so I can enjoy days of heaven on earth!
