To conform our will to the will of God, conform our mind to the mind of Christ, to confess sin, and to lay our needs and desires before Him.

communion, fellowship with him.... also to ask and permit him to be involved in every aspect of my life, my kids, family and friends. I personally don't believe he gets involved until we ask.. make the petition known.
To bring our minds into accord with HIM, to understand where HE is working around us, and to bring us to alignment with HIM. When do we get our prayers answered? When we are asking for HIS will to be done, other wise were are asking "amiss". Not just saying "Thy will be done", rather coming to understand HIS will and actually praying those words.
I like this!

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
It is for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done, and all the elements in our lives that must align into that being dealt with as the Lord's prayer displays. This is why the Lord's prayer begins and ends with KINGDOM references, sandwiching the rest.

Thanks, Hoovie, I have come to embrace that approach to prayer, and it has given it much more meaning and effect in my life.

Lord, may your kingdom come, may my life today join you in that coming in my world, and may you be glorified, that many will see your greatest and praise you today.
Amen, Brother.
