KEY MESSAGE TAKEAWAYS
The Kingdom of God is not just a moment, but a movement.
We are called to be representatives of Christ and His kingdom on earth.
Persistent and faith-filled prayer is crucial in bringing God's kingdom to earth.
God has given us the keys to His kingdom, but we must learn how to use them.
SCRIPTURE
Matthew 6:5-13 (NIV)
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
but deliver us from the evil one.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
What does it mean to be 'shifters of culture' and 'shifters of atmosphere' as followers of Christ, and how can we practically live this out?
What steps can we take to better 'armor up' spiritually, as described in Ephesians, in our daily battles against darkness and sin?
In what areas of your life do you need to 'PUSH' (Pray Until Something Happens), and what might be holding you back from this kind of persistent faith?
