Divine Synchronization

My focus, lately, has been on the phrase, "Our Father which art in heaven".  This morning, as I prayed this part, I was reminded of the phrase from Psalm 113:5-6 Who is like the Lord our God, Who dwelleth on high, Who humbleth Himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!  God is so awesome and so great that He has to get down on all fours and place His face against the ground to see what is in heaven and on the earth!!!  He is so big that He declared through the prophet Isaiah, For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. (Is 55:8-9)  It would be like a flea trying to think like us. Yet, God in His infinite love and mercy wanted to think like us and feel what we feel. When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him? (Psalm 8:3-4)  The Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Phillipi and said, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him the Name which is above every name: that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phillipians 2:5-11)  He humbled Himself to behold the things in heaven and on earth!!!

As I began to move on in prayer, this morning, from praise to worship in the phrase, "Hallowed be Thy Name..." I began to declare with Isaiah 6:3 "And one cried unto another, and said, "Holy, Holy Holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory" Suddenly I was carried away in the Spirit and could see the stars crying out to one another, "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY", the galaxies, the planets, the black holes, and every celestial being crying out one to another "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY" The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.  This is the Will of God,  ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!!! 

Jesus told us to ask.  The word ASK, can easily be interchanged with PRAY.  This is the task He has given us and it is followed by a Kingdom promise, "Ask and you shall receive".  When we are praying the Lord's prayer, we are asking that His name be sanctified on Earth as it is in Heaven.  We are asking Him to let the nations glorify His Name, even as the galaxies, stars, planets and all the celestial beings glorify His Name. Suddenly, that same cooperation that happens in the heavenlies begins to be fulfilled in the earth.

It is Divine Synchronization.  Ezekiel had a vision in which He saw the heavens and was carried to the very throne of God.  He not only saw the beings that carry the throne, but he saw the very One Who is sitting on the throne! And in all this there was such synchronization. He saw more synchronization and precision than that of an atomic clock:  And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Whithersoever the Spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the Spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the Spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. (Ezekiel 1:19-21)  This is what that phrase means, "ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN". When the Spirit moves, the wheels move.  When the Spirit is lifted up, the wheels are lifted up.

This is the Will of God.  That we move in  precision with His will.  Praising and worshiping Him Who sits on the throne. Walking in His Will.  Operating in divine synchronization with His Spirit.  And the only way to achieve it is to Ask; to pray in His Will, believing that He Who spoke it will bring it to pass.
