Your Kingdom Come

Lord I don’t understand when diseases win
Nor when a life is over before it begins
I know You are sovereign and in control
Yet so many questions trouble my soul

How can one see signs and wonders?
Yet still there are those that fall asunder
Some blind eyes have sight restored
While other lives are almost destroyed

I know Your ways are beyond me
I can look and look and never see
The plan that You have for our lives
I wish I could see through Your eyes

I hear so many testimonies of Your power
Yet I seek more of You this very hour
I long to follow the example of Your Son
Telling the world of Your victory won

I don’t understand why it can’t be
Like the days in Scripture that I see
When the believers spoke so bold
And healings following the promises told

Why, Lord, I must humbly ask
Why do I have trouble with the task?
Of spreading the Gospel for all to see
Healing the sick and setting captives free

I don’t want my own glory and honor
Miracles can only come from the Father
But You used the humble in the past
To spread to all, the message that lasts

Can I too be part of Your plan
Use me to teach my fellow man
That You are the Only Way
To call home those who are astray

Lord, help me with my unbelief
Remove the things that cause You grief
Cover me in The Precious Blood
Flow through me like a flood

Fill me up until I’m overflowing
Mold me until it is You I’m showing
I want to lose myself in You
It is only You that I wish to pursue

Use me Lord to display Your glory
While I share with all Your history
Heal the sick and mend the broken
As through me Your Word is spoken

I don’t seek after my own desires
I long to spread Your Word like fire
I pray for those with broken hearts
In us Your Spiritual revival starts

I don’t mean to question Your ways
I just want what Your Word says
I want faith to move the mountain
I want to soak in the life giving Fountain

I wish to see it come to past
The sick healed to the last
You healed all that came to You
To place Your love in our view

Please, My Lord, I beg of You
Show me what You will have me do
I want only to be a servant, faithful and good
Make my life be a life of IS and not should

Increase my faith to serve Your will
Fill me with Your power until it spills
To those with whom Your Word I share
Give me a heart that loves and cares

Give me boldness to stand up and speak
Help me find those whom for You seek
Put into my path more in need
For Your children I wish to intercede

I beseech You, My Lord God
With the gospel of peace, my feet are shod
My heart is ready to go
To tell the world all I know

I want to tell of Your victory on the Cross
The salvation You offer to the lost
Give me words to speak to hearts
Your anointing to me impart

Remove anything in me that is impure
This is one more thing I must implore
I want to follow all of Your ways
To serve all of my days

Is there something hindering in me
That Your miracles I don’t often see
I know I take for granted so much
But I just want Your loving touch

I praise You in all things
Your praise my heart sings
You are exalted on high
Tears of joy, my heart cries

Your majesty is beyond me
I am overwhelmed by what I see
Your creation testifies of You
But still I seek more of You

Is my prayer to selfish, Father?
I do not wish to be a bother
I only can offer what I have been given
So for You my life I am living

I’m just a child wishing to make You smile
My life is but just a little while
I want it to be all for You or nothing at all
I wish to say “Here I am” when You call

Don’t let me hinder Your plan
Just because I don’t understand
Show me how to be more like You
Let me live a life that is good and true

If I hinder signs with my doubt
Renew my faith, my heart shouts
Refine and mold all of me
Until it is only You that others see

Empower me so Your Word is amplified
To my ministry let Your Will be applied
If it is for teaching then let me teach
If it is preaching then let me preach

Whatever Your Will then let it be done
I just want to be a good adopted son
I want more of You no matter the cost
Give me a desire to reach the lost

Let me bear good fruit for You
Heavenly treasure I wish to accrue
I ask for blessings so I can share
To show this world how much you care

Give me wisdom to be a good steward
Fill me with the knowledge of Your Word
Saturate me through and through
I can do all things through You


Brothers and Sisters,

This is a free writing that I started as a prayer. I have been reading the Gospels. I read about the believers in the past that followed Jesus’ commandment and preached the Gospel everywhere they went. I read of the signs and wonders that followed them as they followed their orders. Then I started reading “When Heaven Invades Earth” and I see a similar success in the ministry. I am overwhelmed at the display of God’s power through these people. Yet, I am concerned.

I am concerned because I have a strong desire to serve the Lord in any way He will allow me to serve. I am praying for and receiving a new boldness to witness. I am praying for and receiving more faith. Yet I am not seeing the same signs and wonders. I am not so selfish or egotistical to think if signs and wonders did come that they would be from me. I don’t seek any glory of my own, I truly don’t. What I do want is a faith that expects the impossible. I pray that as I speak the Word of God that people will be healed, the captives are set free, and demons flee from the presence of God.

I pray to shine like a giant lighthouse on the hill so that the lost can find their way back to God. I want God to fill me to overflowing that when I walk through the crowds that the same miracle that followed the Apostles follows me. I wish above all to take the “me’s” and “I’s” out of it all. I want to become invisible and God to become visible. Everything that I am and have is God’s. I offer all of that which I am steward to serve the Lord. I don’t wish for the signs and wonders to be seen so people can say “there is a man of God” or to that affect. I want signs and wonders to be seen so they can “can you feel God?” I want souls convicted of their sins to come to repentance. I want signs and wonders to lead to a great pouring of souls into Heavens gates.

You can read of the promised crowns in Heaven for good servants, but even these I do not long for, but I long for God’s Kingdom to truly invade earth. I want to be a conduit for God’s Kingdom (without the “I”). I pray that all of The Father’s children embrace this same desire. I pray for a Spiritual Revival to come to the entire Body of Christ throughout the world. Imagine what God will do if the entire Body of Christ truly come into one accord in a desire to bring His Kingdom Come! I don’t want the world to see Christians and go “Oh they are nice people”. I want the world to go “Wow, there truly is a God” and repent of their sins and seek the mercy of The Father.

I truly believe if the church could forget about the “church” and remember the mighty God we serve. The we can truly fulfill the Great Commission with all the promises that come with it.

I appreciate all encouraging comments that I have received on past writings. What I will ask of you on this article is to let me know if I make sense. Is there something in me that is hindering God’s plan. I do not think I am significant enough to do that, but I do not want to be the one in God’s way.


In humble service of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
Christian
