The lines in the Lord's Prayer are tied together, according to Nancy DeMoss-Walkalmouth.

You see, those who are not children of God, those who don't pray our Father, they don't want God's

kingdom to come. They want to run their own life. They want to be their own God. They want

This is the way it works. He came to reveal the Father to us and to reveal to us how we

We're going to spend a few days on this petition, Your Kingdom Come, because there's so much packed into it.

And I think by the time we get to the end,

you will see more to it than perhaps you ever realized was there. But again, let me just stress

that the petitions of the Lord's Prayer, the order in which they come, shows us the priorities

of God, the agenda of God. But I think it's important with each of these petitions that we realize
