How Jesus taught us to pray- Lord’s Prayer part 3

Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. (Matthew 6:10 MKJV)

In the previous two posts we discussed how Jesus taught us to pray. It was about how Jesus approached a prayer, it was a way that gave all honor to God. Now we continue with the last entry to this part of the Lord’s Prayer. It is still about God and His will.

The last part of Matthew 6:10 are about Gods ground. God’s kingdom is perfect in heaven, but evil in still on Earth. That is why we should pray that God’s will must be done on Earth. This is not for the sake of God. If He wanted His will on Earth He would put it here. I mean God is the almighty one! No, it’s for our sake.

We don’t always know what Gods will is. In fact it is sometimes very possible that we may ask God for things that He doesn't want to give us. In other words we may ask for things that we shouldn't get, for our own sake. God may for example know that something you ask for is not the best for you. God may have better things in store for you. That better things is Gods will. Now God know what is best for you. That is why we should rely on His will and pry that “Your will be done”.

 If we ask for something in prayer and it is not Gods will, then this part of the Lord’s prayer will make up for it. Because in Matthew 6:10 we acknowledge that Gods will is the best for us.

Share your thoughts on Gods will!

Till next time!

How Jesus taught us to pray- Lord’s Prayer part 2

Your kingdom come… (Matthew 6:10 MKJV)

Where is Gods kingdom? Isn't it in heaven and why do Jesus tell us to pray for it? Isn't God just going to establish His kingdom on Earth at the second coming of Jesus?

Christians and churches around the world pray the Lord’s Prayer in different languages. It is probably one of the most prayed prayers around the world. But do you know what it means? Do you know why Jesus included “Your kingdom come” into the- Lord’s Prayer?

The main reason that Jesus included “Your kingdom come” into the Lord’s Prayer is because the Earth is a disputed part of Gods kingdom. You see, evil still exist on Earth and the devil is still busy trying to lure people away from God.  

“Your kingdom come” in the- Lord’s Prayer, means that a believer is transformed into a soldier for God. When we pray the “Your kingdom come” in the- Lord’s Prayer we acknowledge that we are going to oppose the evil in this world and focus on to promote the kingdom of God in this world.

Till next time!
