The Kingdom Prayer 
Our Father in heaven, 
hallowed be your name, 
your kingdom come, 
your will be done, 
on earth as it is in heaven.
Kingdom Prayer 
Hallowing the divine name 
The ‘Come Holy Spirit’ 
prayer 
The Apostles at Prayer - Acts 4
When they heard this, they raised their voices together 
in prayer to God. "Sovereign Lord," they said, "you made 
the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in 
them. You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of 
your servant, our father David: 
(Quote Psalm 2) 
Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the 
Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire 
against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. 
They did what your power and will had decided 
beforehand should happen. Now, Lord, consider their 
threats and enable your servants to speak your word 
with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and 
perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name 
of your holy servant Jesus." 
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting 
was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit 
and spoke the word of God boldly.

The Commission – Matthew10:7-8 
As you go, preach this message: 
‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 
Heal the sick, 
raise the dead, 
cleanse those who have leprosy, 
drive out demons. 
Freely you have received, 
freely give.

How do we announce the kingdom 
 In ministry time, by praying ‘Come Holy Spirit’ 
or ‘Let your kingdom come.’ 
 Through operating in the healing and prophetic 
gifts (Power Evangelism; Prophetic Evangelism) 
 Mission, church planting, personal and 
prophetic evangelism 
 Paul: The message of grace 
 John: The message of the life of the coming 
ages 
 Engagement in social justice and ministry to the 
poor (Matthew 11:4-6) 
 By being the eschatological community
