·46 min·3 clips

The greatest resistance to God's will is your sinful and selfish nature.

1. RLCSAC Sermon Podcast's "Your Kingdom Come | Teach Me How to Pray | Pastor Dean Deguara" focuses on Matthew 6:10 and the prayer, "your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." 2. Taylor Ramsey opens as Real Life Church's online pastor, and Dean Deguara preaches as the voice pressing the series "Teach Me How to Pray" into a 2026 church setting. 3. The episode asks what prayer is for: not just meeting needs, but surrendering to God's reign so believers can pray as Jesus taught. 4. Dean says prayer is often treated as a last resort instead of a first priority, and he contrasts crisis prayer with prayer that pursues Christ. 5. He repeats that prayer is personal but not private, because Jesus begins with "our Father" and frames the disciple's life inside a bigger family. 6. Dean connects the name of Jesus to the many Jehovah titles, saying that remembering "Jesus" is enough to declare sanctifier, victory, healer, and provider at once. 7. He says prayer should move from transactional requests to transformational knowing of God's nature and character. 8. Dean gives examples of wants versus needs, including a new car, a relationship, and more money, to show how God's character clarifies desire. 9. He identifies "your kingdom come" as a surrendered posture, even asking listeners to hold their palms upward as a sign of release. 10. Dean defines the kingdom as God's reign, rule, sovereignty, power, and authority, and says a kingdom is where a king gets his way. 11. He says the kingdom of God comes when self is dethroned, and he frames that as a "violent prayer for a selfish saint." 12. Dean describes his own 2003 church-plant closure, his disappointment in people, and his two-year statement that he would not lead God's people again. 13. A friend's rebuke, "when are you going to get up out of your mess," becomes the turning point in that personal story. 14. He says God's design is dominion, not denial, and that believers are created to rule rather than be ruled by sin or Satan. 15. Dean uses Galatians 5:17 and 5:19 to describe the fight between the sinful nature and the Spirit, listing jealousy, division, envy, drunkenness, and other works of the flesh. 16. He says self-focus promises satisfaction but never delivers it, while dying to self makes God's will clear. 17. Dean reads Romans 14:17 and says the kingdom's evidence is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, not chaos or striving. 18. The tone stays sermonic and urgent, with repeated call-and-response moments, Scripture reading, personal testimony, and direct altar invitation language. 19. Listeners interested in prayer, surrender, and kingdom teaching would likely stay engaged. 20. Listeners wanting a short, non-sermonic message or no altar call may skip it.
