How to enforce God's power

“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.”   
Matthew 6:9(KJV)

Our opening scripture shows us the manner in which Jesus wants us to pray. Jesus teaches us to pray saying;  “… Our Father which art in heaven, …” Heaven is the headquarters of the kingdom of God. Then Jesus continues teaching us to pray saying in Matthew 6:10, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” This means that Jesus is showing us that through prayer, we can enforce the power and authority of God into our situation and into our sphere.

In 1 Timothy 2:4 the Bible lets us know that God wants all men to be saved. Yet God did not force you, and neither will He force anyone to be born again. You made the choice, so every unsaved person would have to make the choice to ask Jesus to come into their hearts and be their Lord. This is why we pray; because prayer activates the power of God and causes the hearts of unbelievers to yield to the message of the gospel.

Therefore when ever you pray, you are submitting yourself under God's influence and His right to carry out His will in your life or whatever your prayer is directed towards.

Therefore when Jesus teaches us to pray, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” It is because as we pray in this way, it helps to enforce and facilitate everything we do for the spread of the kingdom of God, which causes God’s influence, His language, His love, His Word; which is the constitution of the kingdom of God to dominate and govern the world.

INSTRUCTION
Please read Habakkuk 2:14, then pray that the knowledge of the Lord will continue to grow in influence in our world today.

For further study read: 
Psalm 72:19, Acts 12:1-17, Romans 1:9-10.

DOING THE WORD
Pray that God will prosper every strategy we use in reaching out with the gospel.
