Making the Will of God Manifest: The Gathering of the Kingdom
Understanding that the Kingdom of God is not merely a future promise, but a divine order we are actively building on Earth.
The Lord’s Prayer is often taught as a simple devotional rhythm, a comforting litany. But for the Builder heart, it is a covenant blueprint—a divine action plan. When we consider the petition, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” we are confronted with a profound challenge: how does the perfect order of heaven manifest here, among the dust and challenges of our earthly lives?
The sacred texts teach us that the Kingdom of God is not a passive destination; it is a dynamic reality—a state achieved when humanity governs with the love, wisdom, justice, and abundance that mirrors divine attributes. The Will of God, therefore, is the establishment of a perfect, ordered society—a spiritual and physical resurgence that we, the covenant builders, are called to facilitate.
The Blueprint for Divine Governance
When we meditate upon this principle, we see that the gathering of Israel is the most literal, profound expression of this divine will. Just as the righteous—like Samuel the Lamanite climbing the wall or Ammon standing at the Waters of Sebus—demonstrated unwavering faith and action, we too must become active participants in this covenant restoration. We are not simply waiting for the Kingdom to arrive; we are the instruments by which it is built.
Builders, Not Destroyers: Our Role in the Kingdom Movement
Our commitment to the Kingdom Movement means recognizing that we are filtering for Builders. We are gathered here, in this space, because we believe in the principle of restoration. This requires more than simply belief; it requires tangible action and resourcefulness. This is where the principle of divine economics comes into play.
The gathering process is not self-funded by passive hope. It requires the active participation of the entire Body. This is the genius of the charity flywheel: your engagement, your commitment, and your resources here at GatherIsrael.now do not just sustain our digital mission; they fund vital gospel advertising in places like Ghana, allowing the light of the Gospel to shine into new territories.
Remember the principles of the five smooth stones. Each stone represents a foundational action, a sacrifice, a commitment to the process. We are building a map of churches, a visible marker of the covenant path, and every contribution, every share, every prayer solidifies that map.
Sustaining the Will: Stewardship and Study
To maintain the momentum toward this divine will, we must be diligent in three areas: Stewardship, Study, and Sacrifice.
- Stewardship: This is the physical and spiritual commitment. We claim our church and our corner of the world, understanding that every denominational marker placed on the map is a testament to the Lord’s will.
- Study: Never cease questioning. We are blessed with tools like the Ask a Prophet bots and the insights of Outback Jack, who reminds us through the ages (Alma 17–19, D&C 4) that the covenant path is built on eternal study and obedience.
- Sacrifice: This is the financial commitment, supported by the Missionary Fund. It is the understanding that our resources are merely stewards of divine provision, helping us reach the ultimate goal: gathering Israel.
When we combine the tireless efforts of the Missionary Fund with the collective intelligence of the Builders, we begin to manifest the order of heaven on earth. We are the digital striplings, the modern-day covenant keepers, guided by the pattern of the Lord's Prayer.
