SA EP71 - Becoming a Prayer Warrior (Part 5)
In this episode, we continue through the Lord’s Prayer by examining the phrase “Thy kingdom come.” After establishing a relationship with God as Father, recognizing His authority in heaven, and prioritizing worship, Jesus now directs believers to align themselves with the program of God.
The kingdom of God represents His rule, His authority, and His redemptive plan unfolding in the world. When believers pray “Thy kingdom come,” they are expressing a desire for God’s will to be carried out on earth and for His reign to be recognized in every area of life.
This phrase shifts the focus of prayer away from personal desires and toward God’s purposes. Instead of asking God to fit into our plans, we submit ourselves to His greater plan. It is both a present reality, as God works in the hearts of believers, and a future expectation, looking forward to the day when Christ will visibly reign.
This episode challenges listeners to examine their prayers and priorities. True prayer is not centered on building our own kingdom but on advancing God’s kingdom. When believers begin to pray this way, their lives become aligned with the purposes of God, and they participate in His work in the world.
