“[Jesus] said to them, ‘When you pray, say:
‘Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
-LUKE 11:2
This
is a revolutionary act. It is praying for the establishment of a
Kingdom and a Will in which Christ has the preeminence as All in All. In
this Kingdom there is no room for any earthly government, ruler, or
king. In this Will there is no room for any human agenda. We know Jesus
is Lord, yet we do not see all things submitted to Him (Hebrews 2:8).
So
what do we do in the meantime? Overcomers do not just passively wait
for Jesus to come back. They pray for His Kingdom to be established and
for His Will to be performed. In this way they exercise power over the
nations by preparing the way of the Lord. So this prayer is destructive
in a natural sense, but constructive in a spiritual sense, for as the
nations are decreased, Christ is increased
(John 3:30).
