1 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17

2 Praying The Lord s Prayer And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, Abba, Father! Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Galatians 4:6-7 An heir prays with confidence and boldness.

3 Praying The Lord s Prayer Prayer consists of many things including thanksgiving, making your petitions and requests known and expressing your faith and trust in him. Prayer allows you to speak into the spiritual. Matt 18:18 says, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and, whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. That s one example of speaking actively into the spirit realm. Spiritual warfare is another.

4 Praying The Lord s Prayer James 5:16 says to pray for one another that you may be healed. In addition it says that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Lack of prayer accomplishes nothing. We are not alone in wanting to know how to pray as Jesus would have us do. In Luke 11:1 a disciple asks Jesus, teach me to pray.

5 His Example Matt 19:13 Jesus prayed FOR others. John 17:9 Jesus underscored the need for intercessory prayer: to INTERCEDE. I pray for them. Luke 9:28 Jesus prayed WITH others. Luke 5:16 Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray alone. Luke 6:12 He spent the night praying. We need to be able to offer short prayers as well as dedicate long periods to prayer.

6 He Laid The Foundation Matthew 6:5-15 Praise & Thanks, appreciation, Psalms - lift Him up and He will lift you up. Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Hallowed means to honor and to proclaim as Holy. The hallowing of His name must be done through us. (Praise phase) God proclaims His Holy name through us when we speak it. Psalms 111:9 says: He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever: Holy and awesome is His name.

7 Declaring God & His Power Father, glorify Your name. John 12:28 When we hallow His Name we declare who God is: You are my Father, You are my Redeemer and my Savior, You are my Helper, You are my Buckler and my shield, You are my provider, my healer and friend. We also declare His Power: You rule Lord, You are the Mighty God, You are high and lifted up, Your thoughts are higher than my thoughts, Your ways are higher than my ways. There is none as great as you.

8 His Kingdom Come: Agreement Thy kingdom come" declares a hastening of Christ s return to establish His literal Kingdom upon this earth. We speak it into the earth (prophecy). Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever! Revelation 11:15

9 His Kingdom Come In Us God s righteousness, peace and joy come and be established in your heart and mind. Ask God to put His nature in you; to release His power and authority upon you; to put the operation of His Spirit in you.

10 Praying His Kingdom Come Your Kingdom of light be manifest in the darkness of the earth; in people s dark hearts. Your Kingdom be loosed. May your Kingdom come in me: Rule over my thoughts, my words, my choices.

11 His Will Be Done His will be done what God desires for you, his plans for you, his thoughts, ask for sensitivity that he would guide you in His will. As His will is to see the lost saved, ask Him to lead you into the harvest to those who desire Him and give you a word for them.

12 Pray His Will Be Done All that you ve willed in heaven Father, be loosed through me into the earth. All that is contrary to your will, be bound. As your son I release your will into the earth; I bind and forbid all that s contrary to your will in the earth. I release the will of God that is in heaven into all the earth.

13 Your Will Be Done: Agree May your will be done in me - in my life, in my family, in my work, in my trials. May your Kingdom come and your Will be done in my church, this community, this county, this State, this nation and the nations and leaders of the earth.

14 Give Us This Day: Request Give us this day our daily bread. Be specific about yours and others needs. He said you have not because you ask not. Lord help me make right decisions today. Give me strength to serve you, grant me holy understanding; cause me to be in tune with you. Bless the finances of the family, our health, place a holy hedge of protection around us. Thank Him for what He has done.

15 Give Us This Day Rebuke the devourer O Lord after Malachi 3:11. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.

16 Forgive Us: Confession Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Forgiving of sin comes after you do God s business. Close doors in your life; rid yourself of grudges and un-repented sin. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

17 Forgiveness Lord set my heart to forgive any argument that may arise today, and, to forgive others. I choose to forgive and I release them from their offense toward me. (me, God) And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Acts 24:16

19 No Temptation I resist the devil and he flees. Prepare me to fight off the temptations of this day. Make me strong where I am vulnerable. Make me aware of the enemies devices; aware of the traps set for me. Cause my enemies schemes to fail, their nets to break, for them to fall into their own traps.

20 Deliver us from the evil one Deliver us from satans devices Place a hedge of thorns around my family and shield us. Set us free from. BIND & LOOSE - whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, whatsoever you loose shall be loosed. Matthew 16:19

21 Holy Spirit, fill my life and give me the power and the satisfaction in God to say no to sin, and yes to God. -For yours is the kingdom (you rule over all), - Yours is the power (nothing is too hard for you) - Yours is the glory (may my life exalt you today) Amen.
