"...carry on Thy Kingdom in believers' hearts" (Whitefield)
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Oh that the Lord may revive His work in the midst of the years. The world is now up in arms. Blessed Jesus, whilst the kings of the earth are striving to extend their dominions, do Thou secretly carry on Thy Kingdom in believers' hearts, till the earth be filled with the knowledge of Thee, our Lord, as the waters cover the sea!
–George Whitefield, April 14, 1740He put another parable before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. 33 He told them another parable. The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.
–Matthew 13:31-33Oh that Thou, O Lord, may revive Thy Kingdom work in us in the midst of the years. The world is now up in arms. Blessed Jesus, whilst the kings of the earth are striving to extend their dominions, do Thou secretly carry on Thy Kingdom in our hearts, till we be filled with the knowledge of Thee as the waters cover the sea! Blessed Jesus, do Thou secretly carry on Thy Kingdom in our hearts, so we might be sent out with Your Kingdom seed and leaven to the ends of the earth, that the earth be filled with the knowledge of Thee as the waters cover the sea! Blessed Jesus, do Thou secretly carry on Thy Kingdom in our hearts, so we might be become Your Kingdom seed and leaven to the ends of the earth, that the earth be filled with the knowledge of Thee as the waters cover the sea!
Show us, O Lord, those parts of our hearts where we have not yet welcomed Your Kingdom.
May You carry on Your Kingdom work in our hearts and extend Your rightful dominion in us.
Send us, O Lord, to those parts of the earth that have not yet welcomed Your Kingdom.
May You carry on Your Kingdom work and extend Your rightful dominion throughout all the earth.
