Apostolic Prayer #1

Gospel of Matthew – Kingdom of Heaven manifests on earth – Prayer for Revival

Key Scriptures:

5:44 But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

6:5 Also when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward [d]in full already.

6 But when you pray, go into your [most] private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.

7 And when you pray, do not heap up phrases (multiply words, repeating the same ones over and over) as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their much speaking.

8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9 Pray, therefore, like this: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed (kept holy) be Your name.

10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven ([e]left, remitted, and let go of the debts, and have [f]given up resentment against) our debtors.

13 And lead (bring) us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

All this Prayer is in Heaven in the spiritual realm. All the provision, forgiveness, and the power is from the Kingdom of Heaven which the Father is the head, all we need is of earthly realm. This is indicating the power comes from walking in the Spirit in which we have communion with the Father through prayer of faith. We can and will overrule the natural realm when we operate in Heavenly Realms by faith in the Spirit. All the answers to our prayer will only come from the Heavenly realms. And we need learn to access and how to get there and abide in there with the Father.

7:7 [e]Keep on asking and it will be given you; [f] keep on seeking and you will find; [g]keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent?

11 If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and [h]advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and [i]advantageous things to those who [j]keep on asking Him!

9:38 So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest.

15:22 And behold, a woman who was a Canaanite from that district came out and, with a [loud, troublesomely urgent] cry, begged, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is miserably and distressingly and cruelly possessed by a demon!

23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, Send her away, for she is crying out after us.

24 He answered, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

25 But she came and, kneeling, worshiped Him and kept praying, Lord, help me!

26 And He answered, It is not right (proper, becoming, or fair) to take the children’s bread and throw it to the [e]little dogs.

27 She said, Yes, Lord, yet even the little pups ([f]little whelps) eat the crumbs that fall from their [young] masters’ table.

28 Then Jesus answered her, O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you wish. And her daughter was cured from that [g]moment.

The woman praying out of humility and desperation persistence and prevailing, pressing the issue loosing all face and breaking all rules until she receives the answers. She humbled herself by kneeling, worshipping and continuing crying out to God with intense focus and zeal for her daughter. This is the way how we should pray to get the same result, and this is what faith looks like at work.

21:13 He said to them, The Scripture says, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers.

God’s house is the place of canal channel of birthing and releasing the Kingdom of Heaven upon the earth. It is revealed to us by prayer and spiritual sacrifices.

28:18 Jesus approached and, [a]breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

19 Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them [b]into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20 Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you [c]all the days ([d]perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. [e]Amen (so let it be).

God’s Kingdom authority also has been given to us when we pray in Jesus name. Now if our whole existence is dedicated to the evangelization of the whole world and establishing the fullness of God’s Kingdom on earth, our prayer requests will prevail with God and with men because Jesus entrusted us with all power.
