What are we asking for here? We are talking about doing God’s will. We are asking for the Kingdom of God to be established on earth as it is in heaven. We are saying we submit to the will of God so His will can be established in the earth. We want His will to be done so we can complete God’s plan for our lives and He can transform us into the likeness of Christ.
I find it fascinating that you can get great new insight into something you have known about for years and had almost forgotten. Recently this happened to me with the prayer we call The Lord’s Prayer. It goes like this: Matthew 6:9 “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
This month we want to share our thoughts with you about the prayer of faith. We understand most of you have prayed the prayer of faith for years and probably understand well how the prayer of faith works, but let’s look at this powerful prayer again today and believe the Holy Spirit will teach us something more and make our faith-filled prayers even more effective. Of course, it’s important to understand we need to pray in agreement with the will of God.
The congregation at Moscow Good News Church is nearing the end of our annual twenty-one day time of fasting and prayer. As always, this is a time a great reflection, great expectations and a lot of prayers ascending to the Father God. Have you ever wondered why God requires us to lift our voices and ask of Him and inquire of Him? Why would an all-powerful God need our prayers? Doesn’t Jesus, the Head of the Church, have the authority on earth to do WHATEVER He wants to do?
