10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
First thing we need to understand is:
It’s ok to ask
Many people feel guilty asking God for things, but the majority of the Lord’s prayer is asking.
The other part is praising:
The first and last part of the Lord’s prayer is praising God.
I believe most Christians feel guilty asking of God because they worry they are asking for selfish reasons.
13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
23 In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
And my words abide in you—When you and god are in sync than his will ultimately becomes ours. I never understood someone who wishes their spouse bad because it’s like wishing bad in you. Two became one you’re cursing yourself.
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
God desires to give you good and perfect gifts, however we need to learn to ask with his word in our hearts and not try to twist His word to fit our desires.
When we ask for his kingdom and His will it will be given to us. For if we focus on God his desires and will become our prayers.
10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Come-Greek 2 tenses Future and present. Yes we await for the future kingdom.
But Christ, the king, came to earth His kingdom is here and is territory is hearts, not land.
A kingdom is a kings Domain. If God has his domain or rule over you than his desires will matter.
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed,
21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”
Or in the heart of you.
The kingdom of God, in the NT is compared to wheat, a mustard seed or levin. So the kingdom of God is in constant growth.
I’m not as good as I once was-Beth you are better than you ever been.
God’s will is best:
How do you do God’s will?
17 If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.
Will to do God’s will- Desire mixed with action.
You will understand his Word
People who want their own desires are usually the first ones to twist God’s word to fit them. Instead of twisting themselves to fit God’s word.
