Hereby, below I wrote some keywords with notice on little cards:

Your Kingdom come
on the Earth
as it is in the Heaven
_{Matthew 6:10}

What happens in the heaven?

I. Presence

Moses had to learn the difference between tasks and presence. He started with a practical mindset :

if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favor^a in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.

^aHe was aware of being favorable. Successful. Useful. It's highly controversial because He already was! Then he understood the huge mistake he had:

The Lord Mighty answered:

HE said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest*.”
_{Exodus 33:13-17}

* Which is a parallelism in the Hebrew. A sentence = B sentence.
Personally: One of the most significant change in my life when Gd Almighty presented me his presence. From that day I can see 2 type of church: preaching grace and peace, covered by presence — or not. He wants to walk with us through his presence. Everything stems from Him.

As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; a you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
_{Jn 15:4-5}

II. Authority, Power

Gd's authority "depends on" nothing.
But we can inherit His family blessings & authority if / when we follow the apostolic teachings. Then we are under the apostolic authority.
This is a new testament ID, unlike the Levitical /Mosaic task system with privileged individuals, leaders or prophets filled with the spirits VS followers without the spirit.
This is a common trend among the believers: drifting back to the Law instead of asking and waiting for the Lord's steps.
No. We have a restored identity as a re-united family and priestly nation. We have strong position before Gd. We have our caring Father Who helps us, through the strengthening of our character.

III. Authority. Love

To be more specific: we are not to look back to the slavery and fear. (defined by the apostles). We have a relationship, a blessing, and a family business /authority in this newly restored status.. via Abraham's blessing. Which is the the highest relationship and covenant, far above the Jewish law: the Righteousness of God.

..the promise to Abraham and his offspring that He would be heir of the world did not come through the Law but through the righteousness of faith. For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. For the Law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression.
That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, as it is written,“I have made you the father of many nations...
_{Roman 4:13}
the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ.
This is what I mean: the Law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.
For if the inheritance comes by the Law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
_{Gal 3:16-18}
now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the Law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.
For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus
_{Roman 3:21-24}
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live,* but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the Law, then Christ died for no purpose.
Gal 2:20-21
when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the Law, to redeem those who were under the Law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Gal 4:4-7
*if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs —heirs of God and fellow heirs (co-heirs) with Christ, provided we suffer with Him...
_{Rom 8:14-17}

IV. Worship

When building a place for the Lord — we have to put down our plans. Laying down our crowns. The only plan & task we have:
    Worship, {adoration, praise proclaim} "as they are in the heaven." In crisis we also worship, inviting the glorious Lord. (Act 16:22-26, Psalm 30 or Psalm 34)
    Adoration - 24/7 continual service
    Proclaim - the same service here, plus proclamations inside {church} and outside {mission}.
    Prayer inside - action outside, an everyday model.
Jesus practiced His 2 stages model for good reason. This is closely connected to the glorification. Our natural environment needs to be informed, our spiritual environment also needs to be transformed. We have position - as royal priesthood. It is for every nation - every means: every, no bias!
This is the core of the Christian representation.

V. Representation

{1Pt 2:9 has various mistranslations from the scholars} but we have an original msg about the priestly representation and character in 1Pt 2:9.
· By Teaching we represent God's Word, His thoughts. Teaching is not simply talking in the old societies {or in the musical life: you can not simply talk without showing off examples.}
First, we must represent His noble character it means: deeds & merit. See the same article about 1Pt 2:9
On the other hand, our message is not a talk anymore. Why? Because the Word became flesh - a personal way of the message... and there's no way back to the simple doctrine.
· We represent Gd's Love in various New Testament forms
· We talk, proclaim grace:

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Ephesians 4:29

· We exhibit Mercy with charity for every nation - every means: every, no bias!

whoever keeps the whole Law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.
...
So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
James 2:10.12-13

· We convay Healing for anyone, by any form
We represent an open invitation for those who are weary...
Here I can share a great testimony on God's incarnate mercy and grace showed by a certain church in Norfolk. The story also shed light to the power of the graceful presence in the town and the great reward at the summit of the story!
· We also represent an unbiased mercy for every nation - every means: every, no bias! through the incarnate message of Hos 6:6 This is crucial for Jesus, He was preaching on it twice (!) so, it's absolutely crucial for us.

I have a deep impression that most of the (local) churches are unaware of the impact they do {they do not do} among the society. We don't understand Hos 6:6 nor the prophetic msg of this claim. Instead of emphasizing the old testament exclusivity we are to share the whole message for the Jewish & the Arabs.

Other key points

• The great impacts & Work of Martyn Lloyd-Jones gave a significant change in the UK church history. He was a central figure in London in the 1930s. Thanks to his careful and dedicated work, a new identity began to be restored in the churches. Holiness. Authority by the authority of the apostolic doctrines. Dignity raised by his continual preach. In fact, his church, Westminster Chapel, gradually became the center of the then- Evangelicals. A spiritual worship & prayer hub appeared there, attracting the faithful with the gravity of the Holy Spirit. This influence represents the Echad of Almighty God, and we can still see its fruits today.
• I had an instructive and really blessed encounter with Nicky Gumbel. He helped me understanding the importance of the recent covenant, emphasizing our noble status, always focusing on Christ's finished Work pointing to the Cross & the finishing work the progress in the Christian person.
One of his (and my) greatest delight that through every chapter of the Old Testament we can read about the messianic family line & promises, later fulfilled on the CROSS! This is what we share. This is our focus.
• My biggest surprise : the Protestants not simply neglected the priestly vocation but en-mass left the habit of confession to/before each other. An elderly British pastor pointed out the importance of this. He worked in a Mediterranean environment where this is particularly evident. Only years later, I understood him. In this way the genuine prayer (vertically) and the accountability (horizontally) gets new meaning & saturation.
Confession comes with good conscience and facilitated, healthy Co-working. Transparency comes with release: After the Reset we can go on the narrow path.
