The secret power of Prayer within reach.
Accelerating the Return of Jesus.
It might sound strange
to speak about accelerating the coming of the kingdom to a sovereign God. I
would also raise both of my eyebrows if it were not for the agreement with the
secret force of the power of Prayer.
So to remove every doubt I will insist again
and use all the audacity left in me and ask you, all kingdom people, to join me
in asking God out-loud “YOUR KINGDOM COME”! In
name of Jesus.
What does it mean to
pray “your kingdom come”? If you really believe in the Lord’s Prayer and
you repeat after Jesus this prayer, then you are for accelerating the return of
Jesus. You are under orders to pray this way by Him who knows how to pray to
the Father.
“Your Kingdom come”
Yes Lord please come, come soon, come now, come
before sun down, please come Lord Jesus return to us.
To say the very least about this portion of the
Lord’s Prayer, it is not stepping for dear life on the breaks of the car
of our lives.
If you’re not breaking, then what is your foot
there for?
In the light of the end of time, where the speed
of events are acquiring a life of its own, like when a car seems to increase
its speed over the flow of traffic when it comes to a downhill highway, that is
where we are today.
Even a pilot of an
airplane with tail winds behind, he does not break but only stops accelerating. Never
does one, who is traveling, push the break unless he has arrived or
renounced the trip. If you are
like most traveling fathers, the best part of every trip is coming back
home. Those travelers always welcome down hill roads and the signs that
increase the speed limit.
If you are interested in arriving home where you
belong and your loved ones are, you are a friend of the accelerator and not of
the break. Unless of course you are more interested in stopping over to
see some mistress or have no home or father to run into his arms.
Show single-mindedness
by longing for home and asking for the acceleration of the coming of the
kingdom of God by prayer and supplications, as if your crying will make the
difference for early arrival to your heavenly home, or your Father coming for
you.
Let the lack of
readiness not silence your right to cry for His return.
Remember that it is by grace that you have been
saved, “do not let you and your household’s salvation withhold you from asking
the Lord to quicken His return”. No matter when the Lord returns, he will be
arriving right on time and not a minute early or a minute late. Until Jesus
comes the second time, he is coming through personal death for the individuals
that are call home who in their hearts have asked in their death bed or before,
“Thy Kingdom come” for me dear Lord.
Push the pedal to the metal, for nothing should
be more important and attractive to the traveler than to arrive home; that is
if you have a Father in Heaven waiting for you whose name is Holy.
If so, you will want to accelerate the pace of
your speed to arrive home, or ask Him to meet you here, there, or in the air,
as the saying goes. Why would you pray “your kingdom come” if you love to
break for distractions?
It’s true that by praying “your kingdom come”,
you are pushing yourself and others to get ready for the coming of the
Lord.
He may choose this day to come as the answer to
your prayers. Do not be afraid, for it is Jesus who taught us to pray by
repeating after Him saying, “your Kingdom come”. Jesus is “dying to come back” for you, in fact He died
and resurrected to come back for us.
As a friend of mine keeps telling me, “Jesus is
crazy about you”.
Will you join me to ask the Lord to accelerate
His return?
Would you go crazy with me in asking every day
for His return?
It is not by hard work or deeds of service that
the Sovereign God will return soon but, “if His people repent and cry out, God
will hear them from heaven and come for them, and not only to heal the Land but
establish His perfect and never ending kingdom. The kingdom of God is
not a matter of words but of power, and I know no other source of power but in
prayer in the power of the Spirit of God Himself, in whom coincidence does not
exist but oneness, alignment and agreement with His will.
From a toddler of Jesus
who is a witness on duty to this generation.
