Plug Into the Power of Praying

KATHY—We must understand the power of what Jesus told us to pray, because people don’t plug into the power of praying, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as in heaven,” if they do not understand it or don’t know they can!  Bear in mind also that God’s will being done in earth does not hinge on our significance.  It hinges on our obedience.  Like Jeremiah 11:4 said, “Obedience seals the deal.”  Whatever Father is doing that you see or perceive, then doing just your part seals the deal to usher in some degree of the God-results.  So if we simplify a Kingdom lifestyle down to an A-B-C format,  A) is staying aware of God at all times, B) is simple obedience, and C) is trusting God.  That adds up to participation in what Father is doing whether it is through sudden miracles or incremental God-changes over time.


Thy Will be Done

A God-Deposit

At a Divine intersection where Father has brought us into position for intercession, a God-deposit can manifest in the earth.  That is quite literally the Kingdom PlantSeed.jpgcoming.  Every God-change that judges the agendas of evil or alters the agendas of ignorance in the earth is God answering the prayer He told us to pray, “Thy Kingdom come.”  So, we dare not consider “our tiny part” insignificant or of no consequence.  God’s will being done in earth is not about our significance anyway, it is about our obedience.  We act upon the glimpse we have and Jer.11 (MSG) tells us that “obedience seals the deal”.  Whatever God puts in motion, our part is obedience that completes His intent and gets the God-result in history.  We can pray and proclaim and follow through from the piece we have even if we have no awareness of its ultimate significance or ripple effect. —Kathy Gabler  (Third excerpt from “Ever Increasing”)
