Thy Kingdom Come
Luke 4:40-43
A Special Reign
• God rules over all – Daniel 4:34-35; 5:21 – yet, the
“Kingdom of God” is a special subset.
• Many want the blessing of God, but willingly refuse
the Kingship of His Son – Matthew 21:28-43
• Many willingly move among Kingdom citizens, but
are not part of the Kingdom – Matthew 13:24ff;
22:12-14
• A reign both present and future – Mark 1:15; 14:25
• A reign that’s defined by the good news of God’s
salvation – Acts 28:16-31; John 3:3
A Special Power
• The kingdom always arrives with great power –
1 Corinthians 4:20
• The power of bold proclamation – Jesus’s Mission
(Luke 4:43); our message until Christ returns
(Matthew 24:14); Paul’s mission in Ephesus (Acts
19:8);
• The kingdom is the citizenry of the saved
(Revelation 12:10) and forgiven (Matthew
18:21ff)
A Special Realm
• The Kingdom is at present an unseen force
bubbling beneath the surface of human affairs
(Matthew 13:31-33)
• The Kingdom is not visible in any tangible way:
nationality (Acts 28:28), language (Acts 2:6-8),
dress (Luke 20:46), diet (Romans 14:17), or any
other visible marker.
• God’s Kingdom reigns in minds and hearts: “The
Kingdom of God is … of righteousness and peace
and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17).
How Should we Pray?
• We need to pray for a miracle of transformation –
from common to bold (see Acts 4:13)
• We need to pray for a miracle of focus – from
now-focused to forever-focused (see Matthew
13:45-46)
• We need to pray for a miracle of regeneration –
from death to life.
