 “Thy Kingdom Come”

Divine Intervention:

Father, in Jesus’ name, I pray according to Matthew 6:10, Thy

Kingdom come. I am looking for the soon coming of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.

Today, we are (even here and) now Your Children; it is not yet
disclosed (made clear) what we shall be (hereafter), but we know
that when He comes and is manifested we shall (as God’s children)
resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him just as He (really)
is. You said that everyone who has this hope (resting) on Him
cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure – chaste, undefiled,
guiltless.

For the grace of God – His unmerited favor and blessing – has
come forward (appeared) for the deliverance from sin and the
eternal salvation for all mankind. It has trained us to reject and
renounce all ungodliness (irreligion) and worldly (passionate)
desires, to live discreet (temperate, self-controlled), upright, devout
(spiritually whole) lives in this present world, awaiting and looking
for the (fulfillment, the realization of our) blessed hope, even the
glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Christ Jesus, the
Messiah, the Anointed One.

For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with
the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the
dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

I thank You, Father, that the Lord shall come (to earth), and all
the holy ones (saints and angels) with Him; and the Lord shall be
King over all the earth; in that day He shall be one Lord, and His
name one. The government shall be upon His shoulder.

Father, I thank You that we shall join the great voices in heaven
saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our
Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, and power, and the glory, and the
victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and the earth
is Yours; Yours is the Kingdom, O Lord, and Yours is to be exalted
as head over all. Thy Kingdom come. Hallelujah! Amen.

 “Thy Will Be Done”

Submitting to God:

God has a plan for your personal life

Following God’s plan is good for you

You can find and do God’s will now

God’s plan is not forced on you

The Lord’s Prayer will help you find God’s plan

Expressions of God’s will:

The automatic will of God

The desired will of God

The commanded will of God

Romans 12:2, “Be not influenced by the world, but be

supernaturally changed by a new way of thinking, so you can do
the will of God that is good and appropriate and perfect.” (AT)

Petitions in Praying God’s Plan for your life:

1. Help me find Thy plan

2. Help me understand Thy plan

3. Help me submit to Thy plan

4. Help me accomplish Thy plan

23
 “Thy Will Be Done”

Steps of Discovery:

The submission of yourself to God is the beginning of your prayer life.

Prayer is a call to change the world. (Thy will be done)

Prayer changes you before it changes God.

Prayer is a personal discipline that transforms us into dedicated

disciples.

To Think About:

1. What principles are you discovering that help you find God’s
plan for your life?

2. What do you know for sure that God wants you to do?

3. What do you know for sure that God does not want you to do?
How do you know this?

plan for your life?

James 1:18

Acts 21:13,14

James 4:13-15

25
 “Thy Will Be Done”

Submission:

Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that the will of God be done
in my life as it is in heaven. For I am Your (own) handiwork (Your
workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, (born anew) that I may
do those good works which You predestined (planned beforehand)
for me, (taking paths which You prepared ahead of time) that I
should walk in them – living the good life which You pre-arranged
and made ready for me to live.

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; let Your good
Spirit lead me into a plain country and into the land of uprightness.
Jesus, You gave (yielded) Yourself up (to atone) for my sins (and to
save and sanctify me), in order to rescue and deliver me from this
present wicked age and world order, in accordance with the will and
purpose and plan of our God and Father.

In the name of Jesus, I am not conformed to this world, but am

transformed by the renewing of my mind, that I may prove what is
that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For this is the
will of God, that I should be consecrated – separated and set apart
for pure and holy living; that I should abstain from all sexual vice;
that I should know how to possess (control, manage) my own body
(in purity, separated from things profane, and) in consecration and
honor, not (to be used) in the passion of lust, like the heathen who
are ignorant of the true God and have no knowledge of His will.

Father, thank You that You chose me – actually picked me out for
Yourself as Your own – in Christ before the foundation of the world;
that I should be holy (consecrated and set apart for You) and
blameless in Your sight, even above reproach, before You, in love:
having predestined me unto the adoption of a child by Jesus Christ
to Yourself, according to the pleasure of Your will.

Your will be done on earth in my life as it is in heaven.

Amen and so be it!

 “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread”

Provision:

In the name of Jesus, I confess with the Psalmist David, I have not
seen the righteous forsaken, nor this seed begging bread.

Father, thank You for food, clothing and shelter. In the name
of Jesus, I have stopped being perpetually uneasy (anxious and
worried) about my life, what I shall eat and what I shall drink, or
about my body, what I shall put on. My life is greater (in quality)
than food, and the body (far above and more excellent) than
clothing.

The bread of idleness (gossip, discontent and self-pity) I will not

eat. It is You, Father, Who will liberally supply (fill to the full) my
every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

In the name of Jesus, I shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Your words were found,
and I did eat them, and Your Word was to me a joy and the rejoicing
of my heart.

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. Jesus, You are
the Bread of Life – that gives me life, the Living Bread.

Thank you, Father, in the name of Jesus, for spiritual bread –

manna from heaven. Amen

 “Lead Us Not Into Temptation”

Guidance and Deliverance:

There has no temptation taken me but such as is common to

man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer me to be tempted
above that I am able; but will with the temptation also make a way
to escape, that I may be able to bear it.

I count it all joy when I fall into various temptations; knowing

this, that the trying of my faith works patience.

I will not say when I am tempted, I am tempted from God; for

God is incapable of being tempted by (what is) evil and He Himself
tempts no one.

Thank you, Jesus for giving Yourself for my sins, that You might
deliver me from this present evil world, according to the will of God
and our Father; to Whom be glory for ever and ever.

Father, in the name of Jesus, and according to the power that is

at work in me, I will keep awake (give strict attention, be cautious)
and watch and pray that I may not come into temptation. In Jesus’
name, Amen.
