Access To The Throne of God

Matthew 6:9-10 says, “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’

This is the first part of the Lord’s Prayer or the disciples prayer and this was given to them as a model prayer by Lord Jesus. In verse 10, the Bible says ‘your kingdom come’.

Instead of kingdoms as in the ancient days, it is states and democratic republics that are currently present. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he prayed that let his ‘kingdom come’ over all the kingdoms of the world. Immediately after that Jesus says ‘your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven’. The Kingdom of God coming to earth is equivalent to God’s Will being established on earth. The Kingdom of God has different expressions. Once Jesus said while He was with His disciples that the Kingdom of God was amidst them right then, and that was because the King was among them. Where there is a King, his kingdom is also there.

There is another expression of the kingdom of God and it is the advent of the Holy Spirit. In the near future, heaven will literally be translated into our earth and the New Heaven and New earth (New Jerusalem) will be established here.

When Jesus taught his disciples this prayer one of the key aspects he highlighted was ‘let your kingdom come’. And we have witnessed several ways in which the kingdom has come amidst us. When Jesus was born, the Magi came in search of the King and not an ordinary baby. There is only one person in the whole history who was born king. If a child is born into the Royal bloodline, that child becomes a prince and not a king. Jesus is the only one who was born as a King. We are children of this King and when we are born again, we are born as Kings.
Revelation 1.6 clearly says, “ and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father —to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
 Hence one of the prayer points that Jesus insisted upon is ‘let your kingdom come’. This prayer point mentioned above is also called the kingdom advancement prayer.

Psalm 2:8 says, ‘Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.’

If you study Psalm 2 closely, you will also know that it is a messianic Psalm. The verse above is a conversation between God the Father and God the Son. Since we are Gods children, we can also ask of the Father as mentioned in the verse above. We can ask him for shoes, bags and anything else, but the Father is asking us to ask Him for the nations of the world. When you ask, don’t ask for a new ring, but for the nations of the world.

Isaiah 55:8-9 says, ‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.’

Our God's plan is so high, way above your thoughts and plans. When we pray over nations, God will open the doors of certain nations.
Let me tell you an instance, we were recently in Colombo and when she heard that people of God were visiting her place, the mayor of Colombo came to meet us and to be prayed upon by us. When she came in we all prayed for us and she said the city of Colombo is always open for you and you must come and visit. Our Lord wants to save nations and we must ask of him, nations to make it our possession.

Psalm 110:1-3 says, ‘The LORD says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”  The LORD will extend your mighty sceptre from Zion, saying, “Rule in the midst of your enemies!” Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning’s womb.’

Reading this passage you will know the purpose of God to expand his kingdom. God wants his kingdom to expand and advance. This means His will should be done in several parts of the world.

Few months ago, I was in Tulsa, Oklahoma and when I visited Oral Roberts University, and inside their Global learning centre, they showed me something. Across the nations around the world, they tried to understand the number of people who are spiritually enlightened. They represented this through glowing lights on the map. Now when we pray ‘let thy kingdom come’ it means let the ‘Spirit of God’ fall upon all mankind. It all means that God’s Will must be done on all parts of the earth.

Now each of our families are small kingdoms. Our families are expressions of God’s kingdom on earth.  We can pray that God's will take place in my kingdom however small it may be. When we bring someone to the Lord, we are bearing the light we are expanding the kingdom. When we pray for the kingdom purposes, we are doing the kingdom advancement prayer.

A shortcut to receive answers to our prayers is to pray according to God's desires.
Psalm 37:4 says, ‘Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.’

Honour our God and he will reciprocate our prayer by honouring us and giving us the desires of our heart.
