Devotional-Expand Your Kingdom

Rooted in the promise of Acts 1:8, this devotional invites us into a radical prayer of surrender and kingdom expansion. This prayer beautifully articulates what happens when we position ourselves at the intersection of human limitation and divine possibility—creating space for what she calls "the realm of incredible blessings that God specializes in." The prayer acknowledges our complete dependence on God's strength while boldly asking to be thrust into His plans far beyond our natural abilities.

Jesus said you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all of Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. Lord, bless me. Indeed, you are the blesser from whose hand every good thing comes. I want a front row seat on a life of your miracles. I boldly ask that you expand your kingdom through me, thrust me into the mainstream of your plans, way beyond my ability, and accomplish them by the exhaustless energy of your Holy Spirit and in the freshness of your Holy Word. Make my prayer, life and my life in your Spirit match my assignment.

I am totally dependent on seeing your strong hand on everything that touches me. I see before me human impossibilities, which is the realm of incredible blessings that you specialize in. Help me stand confidently against the enemy when I have stirred up all the host of darkness with kingdom invasion. Keep me relying on the sharp weapons of your warfare. Help me give no quarter to the enemy. Free me from the ground I have given him. It is said that one love will quench another With passion for Jesus, quench my sins of pride and judgment, anger and impatience. Spirit of the living God, cleanse me of insensitivity, hardness, indifference, ignorance and shallowness, father, live in me a life explainable, only that it's you.
