As duel citizens of Heaven and Earth, it ought to be our deep desire to see "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." With this in mind, how ought we actually pray for our nation, no matter what nation we live in? 

We have a big job to do if we are going to walk as Christ walked. The first thing we ought to focus on is the message of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, just as Christ did. 

When Christ calls His disciples to do the things He did, it is necessary for Him to also give us the ability to do the things He did. 

Jesus was compassionate. He had authority. He had great power. And He invites us into His ministry. 

We carry a lot of baggage. I'm talking about expectations and assumptions. Sometimes these work behind the scenes in our hearts and minds to deceive us concerning who Jesus really is. We need to strive to see the REAL Jesus - and we can only see Him if we seek Him in the Scriptures. 

When we pray to be different, who actually does the work of making us different? Even when we don't pray for it, the Spirit is actively transforming us into the image of Christ.
