"May your Kingdom come!" Luke 11:2
About this verse I read an interesting comment that Jack Hayford wrote:
'"Your Kingdom come" essentially says, "Father, let Your Kingdom come here and now!"
Such prayerful intervention is called intercession. Motivation towards such prayer occurs when we recognise the importance Jesus placed on prayer in helping us serve in our roles as Kingdom administrators. Without the intervention if God's Kingdom rule through prayer, circumstances will succumb to inevitable consequences. Earthly scenes of need must be penetrated by God's will here as it is in heaven. Either the weakness of mans flesh or the viciousness of hell's work with the devil will prevail. God's power alone can change things and bring heaven's rule instead and the honour and glory for the prayer's answered are His. However, the praying is ours to do, unless we ask for the intervention of His Kingdom and obey His prayer lessons, nothing will change. All Kingdom ministry begins with, is sustained by, and will triumph through prayer.'
Today I am in Brisbane watching the city be beaten by cyclonic winds and rain. I can pray for the city and the people in it..
In my world I see my role as 'Kingdom Administrator' and pray for those God has given me.
