What is a kingdom? What characterizes God's kingdom? How is it different from the kingdoms of this world? In what way is the kingdom of God "within you"? How did you become a part of God's kingdom? When will God's kingdom be fully realized on earth? How do earthly powers, or authority, differ from God's? How is God's power evidenced in your life? How would you describe glory? How was God's glory manifested in the Old Testament? Was His glory revealed differently in the New Testament? How is His glory manifested today? These and many more questions are addressed in this study.

2. Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed
be Thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy
will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive
our debtors. 13 And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil: For
Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever. Amen.

3. "I believe...that the proper study of God's elect is
God; the proper study of a Christian is the Godhead.
The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the
mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the
attention of a child of God, is the name, the nature,
the person, the work, the doings, and the existence
of the great God whom he calls his Father.“
Charles H. Spurgeon

4. Accept His Son as your Savior
John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them
He gave the right to become children of God, to
those who believe in His name:

5. Accept His Son as your Savior
Philippians 3:10 that I may know Him and the
power of His resurrection, and the fellowship
of His sufferings, being conformed to His
death,

6. Acknowledge His Son as our Lord
Romans 10:9–10 if you confess with your
mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart
that God has raised Him from the dead, you will
be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation.

7. Confidence in God's Character
Philippians 2:9–10 Therefore God also has highly
exalted Him and given Him the name which is above
every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth,
and of those under the earth,

8. Confidence in God's Character
"That God's name should be hallowed
is to say that God should have His
own honor of which He is so worthy,
so that men should never think or
speak of Him without the greatest
veneration."
John Calvin

9. Hope in God's Promises
Luke 23:42 Then he said
to Jesus, “Lord, remember
me when You come into
Your kingdom.”

10. 1 John 3:8 For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that He might destroy the works of
the devil.

11. Surrender to God's Purposes
John 3:30 (John the Baptist) “He must increase,
but I must decrease.”
Luke 22:42 (Jesus) “Father, if it is Your will, take
this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My
will, but Yours, be done.”

12. Surrender to God's Purposes
Romans 12:1–2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by
the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your
reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind, that you may prove what is that good and
acceptable and perfect will of God.

13. Admit our Dependency

14. Surrender our Rights

15. Surrender our Desire
As WAZE warns motorists of hazards
on the highway and reroutes them to
avoid the hazards, so our omniscient
God redirects those who pray to Him
for wisdom while traveling life’s
highway.

16. Surrender our Self-sufficiency

17. “PRAYER AS PERSONAL WARFARE”

18. D. Martyn
Lloyd-Jones
"Our whole life is found there in
those three petitions, and that is
what makes this prayer so utterly
amazing. In such a small
compass our Lord has covered
the whole life of the believer in
every respect. Our physical
needs, our mental needs and, of course, our
spiritual needs are included. The body is
remembered, the soul is remembered, the
spirit is remembered. And that is the whole
of man."

19. Therefore, David blessed the LORD before all
the assembly; and David said: “Blessed are
You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever
and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the
power and the glory, the victory and the
majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is
Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and
You are exalted as head over all.”
I Chronicles 29:10-11

24. The Jewish sages sometimes say “the seal of
God’s truth,” since the final letters of the three
words that conclude the account of creation –
bara Elohim la’asot (“ God created to do”
Genesis 2:3) – spell emet or amen.
