Understanding Kingdom Prayer

📖 The Scoop

What exactly is Kingdom prayer? First, we need to establish that "praying without ceasing" means constant communion with God. It does not mean constantly praying ad nauseam the same ol' thing over and over until your dead! Furthermore, "Kingdom prayers," specifically, are a matter of moving the heart of God out of a spiritually mature perspective stemming from a life lived unto God alone. Kingdom prayers are not about words alone, but a heart set on God; a heart willing to put aside anything of the fleshly man and reconcile themselves unto the ways of God's holy Kingdom. Heaven is a holy Kingdom, a government. On the flipside, hell is a kingdom, an unholy government. There is a war between the two opposing governments. In order to defeat the unholy government, we must know how to unify with the holy government. We are instructed by God-the reigning King-to study to show ourselves approved of Him. That means study the constitution of His government-the Holy Bible. We cannot float along only listening to other peoples' Kingdom insight and expect that to be sufficient. We must be proactive in every area having a heart set on-but not limited to:1.Pleasing the King.2.Studying the instructions King's instructions.3.Learning the past biblical experiences of God's people to know what to and not to do.4. Living a life separated unto God.5.Learn the Word and its meaning to become equipped in the evil day.6.Knowing the tactics of the enemy to be prepared in and out of season.7.Recognizing our loyalties need to be on the Kingdom of God, not the things of Earth.8.Learning how to pray with efficacy, not prayers only during crisis mode.Over the last twenty years, I have composed a catalog of prayers for people from all walks of life. They are spread throughout my various teachings and writings. Countless people have requested these prayers to be compiled and placed in one book. This book is filled with specific prayers for issues common to mankind. Some prayers many people know to pray, and others may not be as familiar. Prayer alone is not enough in so much as, God expects us to be proactive. For example, if we're praying for self-discipline, it won't just fall upon our heads. We must purpose in our hearts and minds to be self-disciplined. We must make better choices. Prayers must coincide with action. Understanding Kingdom Prayer includes 100+ template prayers to serve as a guide for practical application. You will, of course, want to pray according to the leading of Holy Spirit, but this is a template of how to properly apply the Scriptures. With any of God's promises, the idea is to proclaim, declare, and decree those promises over situations instead of asking for God to do this or that. If He's already promised, asking is not required. Rather, we are to apply and stand in faith in His provision and resolve. Praising and thanking God is first and foremost in prayer. We ought never to be a people always asking or using His Kingdom power and authority without first thanking Him for being who and how He is-loving, merciful, gracious, kind, patient, sovereign, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. Although I didn't write words of praise at the beginning of each prayer, praising must come first according to Matthew 6:9. After praising the Lord, the succeeding prayer should follow. Never neglect thanksgiving of God's grace and mercy. This must come solely from your authentic heart of contrition.
