Your Kingdom Come: Our Mission (29 of 40)

Matthew 6:9-13; Ephesians 2:6
Prayer is a vital part of the Kingdom of God. This week, we are going to learn how prayer is a key to living the lifestyle of a revivalist.
Main Scriptures: Matthew 6:9-13; Ephesians 2:6

Packer
God instructed us to bring Heaven to Earth. ''Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven'' (MATTHEW 6:10). That sentence shows us what we should expect when we pray. We have a mandate to pray for Heaven to come and root out everything that is hostile to it. We can ask for God's healing and restoration to come and change our world.
