”Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

(Matthew 6:10 KJV)

The Lord’s Prayer teaches about the establishment of the Kingdom of God, but do we truly understand what this Kingdom is and how it is established? How do we perceive its power and glory? How can we be certain that we are living the life of this Kingdom? Without an accurate understanding of God’s Kingdom and how it manifests in our lives, we risk failing to truly know our God and understand the worth of His Kingdom: thus, misdirecting our pursuit of its power and glory.

In this series, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches on the Kingdom of God and how its power and glory should be rightly perceived. He explains how men often abuse the Kingdom’s power to pursue carnal desires and personal glory. He emphasises the need to yield to God in the pursuit of His Kingdom, as well as God’s unfailing provision to sustain and outwardly manifest the spiritual life (good), implanted in those who genuinely seek His Kingdom.

In this episode, “Thy Kingdom Come”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter delves into the essence of the Lord’s Prayer, offering a clear and profound understanding of what the Kingdom of God truly is. He explains how believers should rightly perceive and measure the Kingdom of God within, and why many often misunderstand or reject this mindset. He uncovers the Kingdom’s purpose, and emphasises the importance of understanding how its power and glory operates and manifests (respectively), cautioning against the abuse of this power for the pursuit of self-determined material outcomes or personal glory. He concludes by urging believers to submit to the Lord and seek His Kingdom as a spiritual, internal reality, cautioning that pursuing it merely as an external (material) kingdom leads only to deception and disappointment.

This message will deepen your understanding of the Kingdom of God, its power and glory. It will also help you to find the need to submit to the Lord in your pursuit of His Kingdom.
