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
