Kingdom Prayer - Part 4

(Senior Elder at Father's Heart Ministries  and function as 
an Apostle and Prophet to the Body of Christ globally)


(b)  This Prayer defines the spirit in which we are to pray

It is not how loud you shout and how long you shout in prayer, but the power of revelation IN and BEHIND your shout! Two persons may pray the same prayer, but have different results. One has entered the kingdom; the other not!
Why?  
The spirit in which you pray determines whether you unlock His authority and power in your life!
In this prayer, Jesus was installing a proper mentality when we pray!
So, what should be in the back of minds when we pray?
What must our attitude be when we pray?

“Our”
  An unselfish spirit
 “Father”
 A family spirit
 “Hallowed Be Thy Name”
 A reverent spirit.

 “Thy Kingdom Come”
 A loyal spirit.

“Thy Will Be Done”
 A submissive spirit.

“Give Us Our Daily Bread”
 A dependent spirit.

“Forgive us Our debts”
 A penitent / broken spirit.

“Lead Us Not Into Temptation”
 A humble spirit.

“Thine Is The Kingdom”
 A confident spirit.

“And The Power”
 A Triumphant spirit.

“And The Glory!
 An exalted spirit
(c)   We can divide this prayer into two sets of elements

The first three elements deal with God:
  • Our Father
  • Thy Kingdom Come
  • Thy Will be Done
These deal with God’s Glory

The second three elements deal with man:
  • Give Us Our Daily Bread
  • Forgive Us Our Sins
  • Lead Us Not Into Temptation
 These deal with Man’s Need
  • Remember the following when you pray:
  • When you pray, you set God in His rightful place, then everything else flow out of it!
  • All prayer is to begin with God:- His character, and nature, then the need of man – Matt.6:9-10
  • God is in His supreme place, His nature, authority, holiness – and when God is first, and then prayer makes
    sense.
(d)   The first three elements show the purpose in prayer

What is the purpose in prayer?
  • To hallow His Name
  • To bring in His Kingdom
  • To do His Will
You say: “Oh, God, I come to you in oder that your name might be hallowed; In order that your kingdom might come;
in order that your will might be done"
                                     
(e)   What is the means?
  • What is the means by which His name is hallowed?
 By giving us our daily bread – our provision
  • What is the means by which His kingdom is lifted up?
By forgiving our sins – our pardon
  • What is the means by which His will is done?
By leading us away from temptation – our protection
As God provides
As God pardons
As God protects
Then, He consequently is exalted in His:
Glory,Kingdom, and Will
Until next time...Shaun Blignaut

The Centre of Christianity has moved


Christianity has moved by Natasha Grbich| January 2010

New Year greetings! I trust that you all had a good rest and are ready to leap into all that God has planned for 2010. I returned from the USA in early January and hit the ground running with a visit to Eshowe in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Dumile (one of our leaders) had gathered a group of ladies to fast and pray in preparation for the year. I taught on intercession and the importance of our marriage covenant with God. In Eshowe (the home of President Zuma and his wives), we stood as the Zulu people to marry the Lord and committed ourselves to be faithful to that marriage covenant. It was an awesome time!

During December I attended the meetings of the International Coalition of Apostles in Orlando, Florida. It was a good time of networking, but the session that really impacted me was the panel by the Chinese Pastors. (Copies of the DVD available from the office.) For the first time we had testimony from pastors in China about what is happening in their churches and what God is doing in the nation.I was moved to tears as they shared that it has been an honour for them to suffer for the sake of the gospel and how their suffering has qualified them to be ministers of Jesus.

Conservative estimates have the Chinese church at 100 million people. And it is not limited to the rural areas. The church is growing in the cities among business people and government officials, on the student campuses as well as in the villages. The South China Morning Post was quoted as saying that there were now more christians in China than members of the communist party! When they had finished, we all felt like we needed to be born again!

The Chinese are coming! The price they have paid in blood and suffering over the last several decades has opened the gates of the nations to them in this day. We are going to see more and more Chinese missionaries reaching nations that are no longer open to the ‘Western’ gospel. Chuck Pierce says that by 2016, China will be the leading ‘sending’ nation in the world.

Peter Wagner stated that the centre of Christianity has shifted to China and this is the sound of the voice of the church now. I was challenged and we as a House are challenged. Do we sound like the Chinese Church that humbly embraces the Cross or are we still in the old wineskin of North American Christianity that preaches a message of ‘greasy’ grace and prosperity?

I am determined that the Chinese that come to Africa find a people who speak the same language and can labour alongside them in this great continent!
