2003 Words9 Pages

Lord Teach Me to Pray #6
Kingdom-Focused Prayer
Text-Micah 4:1-5

Introduction-: In Philip Yancey’s book The Jesus I Never Knew he talks about how we live on Saturday, the day with no name:
The other two days have earned names on the church calendar: Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Yet in a real sense we live on Saturday, the day with no name. What the disciples experienced in small scale—three days in grief over one man who had died on a cross—we now live through on cosmic scale. Human history grinds on, between the time of promise and fulfillment.

It 's …show more content…

Easter opened up a crack in a universe winding down toward entropy and decay, sealing the promise that someday God will enlarge the miracle of Easter to cosmic scale.
It is a good thing to remember that in the cosmic drama, we live out our days on Saturday, the in-between day with no name

In the Lord’s prayer we pray: THY Kingdom COME . . . What is
I. The Nature of what we are praying for.
When we petition God for His Kingdom to come, what is it we are really asking him for. Are you asking for the end of the world as we know it, or for a takeover of Christian politicians or for a theocracy—Where God is the king? What is it that we are actually asking for. Jesus spent His entire ministry teaching His followers what the Kingdom was like. I am going to tell you in 15 minutes. Just know that every time Jesus teaches, He is teaching about he Kingdom.
What does He teach.
He teaches that it is spiritual, it is an opposing Kingdom, and that His ultimate Kingdom is a coming Kingdom.

A. Luke 17:20,21-God’s Kingdom is a spiritual Kingdom. (A present sense)
Luke 17:20-21

Because we are saved does not mean we will not face persecutions, adversity, hardships, or offenses. On the contrary, Jesus makes it clear that we are going to be persecuted, and told us in John 15:20b, “If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you.” Apostle James in his letter tells us to “count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations (James 1:2).

    In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.
