Kingdom Prayer of Intercession

"Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." -Matthew 6:10

Kingdom praying has a pivotal place in the affairs of this world. Jesus’ lesson on prayer, which we call the Lord’s Prayer, not only issues a call to our worship and surrender before God’s throne; He also issues an incredible directive and assignment that we accept a decisive role as intercessors. In short, our prayers ushering in “Your kingdom come,” is the action which refuses to surrender this present world to the adversary’s devices and destruction.

Jesus’ assignment is that we pray, “Father, Your kingdom come on earth.” It is our Savior’s way of saying, “Just as you have welcomed the Father’s rule in your hearts, now extend that kingdom rule in prayer.”

Point to earth’s needy places and invite heaven’s forces to break hell’s strongholds and bring hearts, homes, and nations into His freedom.

Luke
