Let's get the earth back!!

Sometimes I wonder why people are so caught up with going to heaven. If I am not mistaken Jesus took care of heaven when He got up on the cross. Please done get it twisted I surely want to go to heaven just like everyone else on the planet but my concern right now is what’s happening on the earth. We should not just want the pie in the sky bye and bye, but we need to get some cake on the ground while we are still around. There is too much for us to do on the planet earth that God gave man in Genesis 1:26(Dominion) to be worried about what we are going to do in heaven. That is almost a selfish mentality because it says I'm going to heaven so I don’t have to be concerned about what’s happening here on the earth. Since God gave us dominion over the earth He would want us to take care of it. So let’s stop waiting for the government to help us and begin to bad together as a people of the kingdom of God and change this nation. All we have to do is begin to train and raise up disciples starting in our own houses. Gen. 18:19-19, God says I will make Abraham a great and mighty nation, because he will command his children and his household after him. God want us to make disciples and train them starting in our homes and our families. If your brother won’t train his son in the things of God you go and get them and train them. Then we need to invest in the next generation by allowing them to discover their gifts and then send them to college to perfect those gifts so they can give them back to God. See we need kingdom minded people to get in influential positions in our nation so that the decisions that are made will be made by kingdom minded individuals.(Remember Daniel, Joseph) they were in high position in the government, and they were able to make change from high places. Isaiah 2:1-3 says "the law shall come from Zion. What if Will Smith was a believer? (I happen to know that he is a believer because I met his pastor from Philly, that he moved to California, and helped him establish a church that’s doing great) But what if he were to stand up for Jesus and use his influence to change a nation? See we as the people of God need to raise up young people to become actors, educators, political figures, sports players so they can get into these arena’s and teach kingdom principles. That’s what I mean by not worrying about heaven so much, and begin to take this earth back that God leased to us. Psalms 115:16 “The heavens, even the heaven belong to God, But the earth He has given to the children of men” It’s on us!!!!!

Jesus said I go to prepare a place, so all we need to do is get them to give their lives to Jesus, but I'm not saying that we should out right forget about heaven, but our focus has to be on what happens on the earth. Jesus said in Matthew 5:5 that the meek would inherit the earth and what I'm seeing is a people who are waitig for the government to take care of the earth, but it is our responsibility to take care of the earth. Gen. 1:26, God gave us dominion. Psalms 115:16 says the earth has been given to the sons of men.

If my people who are called by my name would humble themselves and pray etc...
Then I will hear from heaven an forgive their sins and heal the land. God said I wont heal the land until we do something.
All of creation is groaning waiting to see the true manifestation of the sons of God.
We just seem to care less what happens on the earth, and it's our responsibility.
What you are saying is true yet there is more for us to do down here.
I always wondered why God would call men to be a part of His work. He told Moses to tell Pharoah to let my people go. He told Abraham to go to Sodom, Why? Because He gave man dominion so He always puts a man in the middle of everything He does on the earth, so He doesnt go against His word in Gen. 1:26
We need to take dominion as people of God, because God has heaven taken care of.
I know you know these scriptures man of God but this is where I get this subject matter from.
I thank God that He created heaven for us.

For the Kingdom

All of creation is groaning waiting to see the
true manifestation of the sons of God. You left out
that part of the scripture. Everything is waiting on us
because the lion is still roaring the bird are still flying
the wind is still blowing, the only thing on the planet that
is not walking in it's purpose is humans. That's why the earth is groaning
waiting for us to line up with Gods purpose for our life. We
are Gods voice here on earth so of we don't do His will on
the earth nobody will. All of the views you bring up are critical
for us to teach but these thing should be taught to new believers
then they should be trained to discover their gifts and be effective
on the earth. Jesus said Matt 6 thy kingdom come thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. How are we going to make the colony(earth) look
like the Kingdom (Heaven) if we don't do what we were told to do.
Like I said before Psalms 115:16 Gid has heaven taking care of but the earth needs
our help. We have focused on the pie in the sky to long and the earth that God gave
man has been neglected. We need to stop neglecting our responsibility because
we are the only hope for the earth. How great would it be of we trained our young people
to become the mayor of our city, doctor, layers with a kingdom mindset. We will see the
king in heaven but while on earth let's execute his kingdom principles down hear.
Remember I'm not saying that we shouldn't teach about heaven but we have to make sure are people are prepared to fullfill their purpose while they are on the earth too. I don't disagree
with you at all I just know ther is more. Thank you for your replies.
