9 “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. 11 ‘Give us this day our daily bread. 12 ‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 ‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Lord, we want you to come
That the kingdom of God is a picture of God the father and his creation man as his children.
Jesus says this
3 and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 “Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 “And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; 6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Notice this now unless you become as a child you can not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Now nicodemus did not understand this principle here.
4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?”
He couldn’t understand this truth but 1 peter help us come into an understanding here
23 for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.
So notice this being reborn or coming as a child is speaking to a spiritual experience.
When this happen God bring us into his kingdom not just as kids but as his sons and daughter.
As his children.
Remember,
The Son of God, became the son of man so that man could become sons of God.
Now with this revelation we learn to pray, as childen, as His children
Notice Jesus’ word in Matthew 6:6
6 “But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
Pray to the father which is in secret. Shut the door.
We are His children, He is our Father.
And remember the 1st words that he tell us to pray when he teaches us to pray is this “our Father”
Showing us in community and relationship.
What's our relationship with God
He not just the man up stairs he is my personal loving caring father.
Now when we have this revelation prayer is not a chore but the privileged of sonship.
So then why do we pray?
To let God know what we need? No
Why?
Because Matthew 6:8 tell us he already knows what we need.
8 “So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
So then why do we do it.
Because pray brings an increased dependence on him.
When we pray we learn to trust.
We trust that he hears and he will answer our prayers.
and it brings an awareness of His presence.
Look at Luke 11:9-12
9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 “For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. 11 “Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? 12 “Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?
Let me tell you something today. God is worth trusting.
So this prayer of the kingdom. “your kingdom come your will be done.”
Is one of dependence.
We need you.
intervene oh God
Come
we need you to come. We are crying out. Come please come. Answer the prayer of you child.
This is the place that God want us to prayer
Romans 8:14–22 (NASB95)
14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
Here we see the believer groaning within himself, the creation groaning, and the Holy Spirit groaning as He intercedes for us.
The believer groans while waiting for the redemption.
The word groans here is stenadzo, meaning to sigh, groan because of undesirable circumstance.
The suffering of this present time are not worthy to compare to the glory to be revealed in us. Verse 18
1. The body of the believer awaits future glory.
2. Believers groans because of undesirable circumstances.
3. Physical suffering
There is glory and splendor waiting to be revealed in a moment. We shall enter and share His glory.
The believer groans in HOPE.
24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
hope is the word elpis meaning hope, expectation
1. Salvation has brought the believer into the sphere of hope.
2. Hope is the expectation of glory of Christ. V 18
3. Hope is the waiting eagerly for our adoption as son v 23
4. Hope is waiting eagerly… the redemption of our body
5. Hope brings perseverance v 25
The believer does not groan in despair, as he experiences the suffering of Christ, he suffers with joy knowing that “we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him.” V 17
The sons must cry out for the Fathers kingdom. Why?
All of creation depends on it.
Our Father Your kingdom come your will be done.
Anticipation- thy kingdom come
May we live our live in the knowledge that you are coming
Consecration- thy will be done
We want you rule and your leadership
Determination- on earth
We really do want this and we will pray until we see it
Conformation -(don’t know if that’s a word) On earth as it is in heaven
we want to be like you
Desperation - give us this day our daily bread.
Jesus we need you to come.
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. 36 “But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe. 37 “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. 38 “For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
I want to close with this.
This kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven points to one more thing.
2 You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.
"The beauty of heaven is God, the beauty of earth is man. The beauty heaven and earth together is this God-man Jesus." Edward Hyde
This also points the man Jesus’ return and our need for the one that has shown us the way.
