Some of the songs that promote the Dominion\/Kingdom Now theology (as well as the Word of Faith theology) have come from or through IHOP and Bethel Church. The song, “Our Father,” was written in 2009 by Marcus Meier, a worship leader at IHOP. Here are the lyrics:<\/p>\n
Our Father in Heaven
\nHallowed be Your name
\nYour Kingdom come quickly
\nYour will be done the same<\/p>\n
On Earth as it is in Heaven
\nLet Heaven come to
\nEarth as it is in Heaven
\nLet Heaven come<\/p>\n
Let Heaven come, let Heaven come<\/p>\n
Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the power
\nYours is the glory forever, amen
\nYours is the Kingdom, Yours is the power
\nYours is the glory forever amen<\/p>\n
This song promotes Johnson’s teaching. The chorus splits off Johnson\u2019s favorite slogan, \u201cOn earth as it is in heaven,\u201d from the rest of the sentence, \u201cYour will be done,\u201d just as Johnson does in his teachings. The chorus also adds and repeats the request, \u201cLet heaven come,\u201d meaning let heaven come down to earth, which is what Johnson teaches.<\/p>\n
Johnson\u2019s teaching got into the song because his teaching has obviously infiltrated IHOP because Bickle has endorsed Johnson. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that the song became a part of Bethel Church\u2019s worship and appeared on one of their albums.<\/p>\n
