The Coming Kingdom of Christ | Part 1

Prayer in God's will. Today love word find you want to know the will of God to pray the will of God.

Have you ever told me honestly. Sincerely hard with that react with every ounce with every nerve fiber is much as in you is said by will be done.

Have you been. If you have not, don't complain that you don't know the will of God will come to love words between dynamic teaching astronaut project. He said effective prayer is finding the will of God and getting in on according to Matthew chapter 6 verse 10 there will come a day, God's will will be done on earth as it is in heaven or for things to know about the coming kingdom of Jesus Christ and how to pray for his will to be done in us. If you have your Bible find Matthew chapter 6 will begin in verse nine as Adrian Rogers reveals the coming kingdom of Christ one here who would dare say that today God and enter as it is in heaven. Do you think that the right pillage the arson murder.

The blasphemy pornography the debauchery that takes place on earth today is God's will know what is not. But there is coming a day in our Lord taught us to pray for that God's will will be done as it is in heaven right now. Man has enshrined himself in his nuclear glory and his effort has been to dethrone God and him thrown himself. It's almost as if you could hear them pray our brothers which are upon their how would be our name our kingdom. God will be done for there is no God in heaven with friend. There is a God in heaven, and his kingdom is coming in the title. The message is like coming kingdom of Christ. Now that brings a question what is the kingdom of God. What is the kingdom that were praying for me. I tell you that it is for things number one. The kingdom is the kingdom of God's government. You have is the kingdom, where God rules is the kingdom where God reigns the kingdom of God is the place of God's sovereign authority and, therefore, what is the purpose of all prayer. What is the purpose of prayer, where you have it in verse 10.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. Would you like to be effective in your prayer life. Would you like to pray, so as to get your prayers answered verse 10 is the absolute key. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.

What is effective prayer, effective prayer is not talking God into doing something he doesn't want to do effective prayer is not bending God's will to fit our will by kingdom come, thy will be done and so friend there's nothing that lies outside the reach of prayer, but that the lies outside the will of God, not putting your margin. This verse first John five verses 14 and 15.

And here's the key to answered prayer.

Listen to it. The apostle John picks up on what the Lord Jesus Christ said here in Matthew six verse 10, and here's what the apostle John had to say first John chapter 4 verses 14 and 15 and this is the confidence that we have in him that if we ask him anything according to his one is will he your boss and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know we know that we have the petition we desired of him.

You say do you mean Pastor Rogers that the only prayer that I can pray is the prayer that is in the will of God. When that leaves out so many things no friend praying in the will of God does not mean fewer blessings for you. Praying in the will of God means more blessings for you to see God wants for you what you would want for yourself.

If you have enough sense to want God loves us. God loves us and so therefore the kingdom of God is the kingdom of God's government. When we pray, thy kingdom come, thy will be done now that brings us to another question the apostle John said if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And Jesus said we to pray for his will to be done.

How do we know is will we just guess that does God say what you may have lucky maybe it's my will and maybe is not know God has given us principles whereby we can know his will and know that were praying in his will that to what they are three hear the principal so you can know that you praying in the will of God number one is the surrender principle the surrender principle now. You never know God's will into your willing to know God's will and you are willing to say by will be done, not my will but thine be done.

There is the surrender at school. Have you completely and totally surrendered to him. The apostle James is the ask and receive.

Not because you ask him this that you might consume it upon your loss.

I told about being in Romanian talking with Pastor Josephs on a true intellectual. He was my translator afterwhile after I felt comfortable with him and he with me. I said Joseph, would you just tell me something he said want Adrian I said you been to America many times tell me about American Christianity.

He said will you ask me to. And I'll tell you. He said Adrian the keyword in American Christianity is the word commitment. I said let's do it in the Joseph he said no that is not good. He said commitment is a relatively new word in the United States. He said all it can be found in some dictionaries, but he said he came in the usage in the 60s and Americans of gotten stronger and stronger and stronger in using the word commitment American Christians. I said what's wrong with commitment. They set up a what's wrong. He said when a new word comes in. It always moves out an old word.

It replaces an old work.

He said I search to find out what was the old word that commitment has replaced and he said the old word is surrender to pay attention, but no word commitment. The old word surrender. Now when you commit you are in control.

The thing that you commit to may be good and fine and noble and wonderful. You may commit yourself to soul winning. You may commit yourself to prayer. You may commit yourself to sacrifice. That's all well and good side you do. I am committing myself to this, you may commit yourself to lose weight you may commit yourself to do many things you decide to do something and therefore you commit yourself to what he said in surrender. There's a difference in commitment to decide what you're going to do and commit yourself to it.

When you surrender you with both hands and say I'm under your control. You see the difference you see the difference in commitment here in control and surround and he is in control. He is the king and he is supreme and what we do is to say, thy kingdom come, thy will be done. I am under your control. Why does anybody do anything. Why does anyone serve another us on because he wants to. A servant because he needs to go to subject because he must. God's self God is absolutely sovereign.

Do you want to know the will of God. Do you mean do you what you like to pray and know that you're in the will of God. God does not reveal his will to rebels. Have you ever told me honestly. Sincerely your heart with every inch with every ounce with every nerve, every fiber as much is in you is said by will be done.

Have you been. If you have not, don't complain that you don't know the will of God. Don't you think that it is an absurdity. And don't you think it's a contradiction I really don't you think it's an insult to say I want to know the will of God.

But I'm not willing to do the will of God missing step number one in knowing the will of God is the surrender principle. Another principle the surrender principle and the Scripture principal Bellamy to be another verse of Scripture.

The Bible says in John chapter 15 verse seven Jesus said if ye abide in me and my words abide in you, then you shall ask what you will and it should be done of you.

You abide in me, that surrender my words abide in you, that Scripture you take the word of God. This is God's revelation to you. It is God's word. Do you do you want to know God's will. Do you yourself will I like to know the will of God test how much time you spent in this book you think God really believes you when you say I want to know the will of God and yet you don't read one book above all books that God is specifically written to show you his will to reveal his will to you to unfold his will to you, don't you think that there's a little bit of hypocrisy in a person says God I want more than anything else to do your will. And yet he does not study the word of God to find out what the will of God is third bridge first when the surrender principle second one the Scripture principal. The third one the spirit principal Ellison letting another verse of Scripture Romans chapter 8 verses 26 and 27 likewise the Spirit also help with our infirmities, for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

And he that searches the hearts North what is the mind of the Spirit measures the key Romans 827 because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

It is surrender principle. I will well Scripture principal.

It's found in the word of God spirit principal. The Holy Spirit of God help you understand the word of God and help you to articulate your prayer in the will of God. That's the way to pray. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.

You see, this is the confidence that we have in him. If we ask anything according to his will he hear this by will be done by will be done.

Answer prayers, not to rebels.

The prayer that gets to heaven is the prayer that starts in heaven. We just close the circuit you see you can be absolutely certain when you're praying in the spirit any prayer that the Holy Spirit lays upon your heart will be answered because the prayer that originates in heaven certainly is not going to be rejected. The that's the reason is so important over and over and over again. The Bible tells us to pray in the spirit to pray in the spirit and frame the Scripture must be filled with the spirit you not going to be filled to smitten to you surrender it all is linked together hired a beautiful definition of prayer. I love it. It's my favorite definition. Prayer may give to prayer is the Holy Spirit finding a desire in the heart of the father and putting that desire into our hearts and then sending it back to heaven and the power of the cross.

Did you get prayer is the Holy Spirit finding a desire in the heart of the father putting that desire into our hearts and then sending it back to heaven and the power of the cross. So what is the kingdom of God. It is the kingdom of God's government by will be done. Second thing I want you to notice as we talk about the kingdom of God. Not only is it the kingdom of God's government, but it is the kingdom of God's grace in Hebrews chapter 4 and verse 16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, culture, love, at a throne. It speaks of his kingdom. It speaks of his room, where zero from what kind of the kingdom is what throne is. Is it a throne of law is a throne of judgment. No heat is thrown of grace to more wonderful words cannot be put together a throne and grace. The kingdom of God is the kingdom of God's government, but it is also the kingdom of God's grace because if it were only the kingdom of God's government. All we can think about is also the majesty and glory and split under him approachable mess of the thrice holy God could wear and tear, but the Bible says we can come right home we come right to a throne of grace, one that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. You say my faults keep me from coming to a throne of grace know my dear friend it, your falls that bring you to the throne of grace, it's your knee that brings you don't stay away because you have faults, and find mercy, no stairway because your week and find help when you're praying for his kingdom to come. Not only is it a kingdom of God's government is the kingdom of God's grace is not a throne for receiving tribute. It is throne for dispensing grace, and you see the grace of God does not do away with the sovereignty of God. God's government.

It only magnifies years and years ago I heard of a woman who lived in a foreign country where they had a monarchy and this woman was a very poor woman. She had a daughter and the daughter had gotten sick.

My daughter was at home in this poor woman had to go out the door work, but somehow it was sick daughter had said to her mother. Mother you know what I think would make me feel better if I just had some fresh fruit to eat fruit was very expensive, almost unattainable if I just had some sweet luscious grapes mom. I just like that make me feel so much better that mother had that in her mind as she went down the cobblestone streets as she was passing a very impressive building a mansion like palace. She looked, and there was an iron fence and behind it was a garden and that garden was a trellis and from a trellis that was suspended a gorgeous grapevine and on that grapevine were just coming down big clusters of beautiful grapes and she thought all I have a few shillings maybe maybe they would sell me a cluster of grapes and she noticed that the gate was open almost carefully. She should push the gate open and she went into this most gorgeous beautiful garden and she's looking at those grapes and someone says to her, what are you doing in here. She turned around and there was a gardener, they said. Did someone leave the gate open.

You must get out of here in a hurry, you have no right you have no business in this place. You must leave. She said I was only wanting to know if perhaps I could buy a bunch of grapes for my daughter Lucy he said I'm sorry these grapes are not for sale, you must leave. This is the king's garden and as she turned in her fear and started out the gate chair. Another voice saying wait a minute, stop right there. She turned around to look into the face of her king. He said tell me again what were you doing in all. She said sovereign.

She said I'm sorry I did not mean to intrude. I did not know this was a palace. I am sorry all I wanted was a bunch of grapes for my daughter was sick. Please, and she evacuated his way to don't be afraid. Some right come here. He said gardener hand me those shares.

He said hold out your apron. She held her that he began the clip both big clusters of grapes and loader down one cluster after another.

She said oh no that's that's more than I can pay for all sick. He said you cannot buy these grapes.

She said, but I must take all the and he said if you must pay for them.

You cannot have been only way that you can have them is to receive them as a gift from your king. The king's grapes are not for sale.

Friend, I want to tell you what I heard that story about how much like the grace of God that is if you want God's grace. You may have what you will never buy not by works of righteousness that we have done, but according to his seat. He saved us, for by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves is why the gift of God not of works lest any man should boast the king's grapes and the king's grace and the king's goodness is not for sale.

What is this kingdom. It's the kingdom of God's government is solver, but it is a kingdom of God's grace we come to a throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. The Bible says in Ephesians that in the ages to come he is going to show the riches of his grace. One of these days quotes all of the main cause of this world won't mean very much to you when the setting sun of your life mingles with the prickling dawn of eternity and you've laid down the toils and the toys of this world and your loved ones stand around your casket. All that will really matter than is God's amazing grace by kingdom come. It is the kingdom of God's government is the kingdom of God's grace to what else it is, it is the kingdom of God's goodness when you're praying for the kingdom to come.

God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. What kind of the kingdom. Is it let me give you another verse to put in your margin ready for Romans chapter 14 in verse 17 for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace in the Holy Ghost. That's what the kingdom of God is it's a kingdom of God's government is the kingdom of God's grace and is the kingdom of God's goodness, righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Are you in the kingdom. Are you what. If you're in the kingdom. These are three marks that you're in the kingdom number one righteousness don't know what a man is saved or not, to see if these righteous busy righteous I don't care how loud you shout, how high you jump I want to know how straight you walk when you come back down is this thing called Christianity as it changed your life. Your religion attaches you live, you better change your religion are you going to kill Avenue does not relate to the kingdom of God is not meat and great is righteousness, but not only righteousness, peace, peace with God and the peace on God and peace that passes understanding.
