Hebrews 2:14 and Matthew 6:10

Hebrews 2:14 "for the earth shall be filled with the Knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." NAS

Matthew 6:10 " Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." NAS

God has clearly shown us His desire and plan to bring revival and the light of His glory to the earth.
When we pray for a spiritual awakening it is well within His plan and lines up with His word.
When we pray this spiritual awakening and revival, we are taking an active place before God and are a participant in His grand plan for all of mankind--hallelujah!
Praying these prayers is an act of obedience.
Recognizing this requirement of prayer in the scriptures is part of what Psalm 119 speaks of when he says (verse 27) "make me understand the way of Thy precepts" NAS
(verse 34) "give me understanding that I may observe Thy law and keep it with all my heart" NAS

For God's glory to fill the earth He must be acknowledged and remembered throughout all the earth. In olden days, they built altars wherever they had an encounter with God so that He and His words would be remembered.
God instructed them to build the altars and sacrifice on it so He would be remembered and He promised to come to them and bless them in these places (Exodus 20:24) in the New Testament He also called for an altar and sacrifice (Romans 12:1).

Exodus 20:24 "You shall make an altar of earth for Me and you shall sacrifice on it burnt offerings, and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you." NAS

Romans 12:1 "I urge you, therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God which is your spiritual service of worship." NAS

We are earthen vessels (II Corinthians 4:7)
We are the 'altar of earth' for God. We offer our bodies as a sacrifice as a spiritual service of worship as we build within us altars of obedience, thanksgiving, worship, praise and prayer God is remembered.

We bear God's name and we are the altars of earth that cause His name to be remembered; His knowledge to fill the earth; His will to be done because of our prayers, praise and obedience. We carry His name we show forth His glory.
We represent His awesome works; ambassadors for Christ (II Corinthians 5:20).
The fire on the altar is to never go out (Leviticus 6:13) "fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar; it is not to go out." We are to always be on fire for God, to remain passionate, aglow, filled and pressing onward. Romans 12:11 "fervent in spirit" (amplified). "be aglow and burning with the Spirit". Never let the fire on the altar go out.
We are the ones that cause God to be remembered!
If we are not altars of praise and prayer, the next generation will not remember God.
This is what happened to the Children of Israel when their forefathers died off, they did not know of the wonders of God, that is why the Children of Israel were given such explicit instructions about telling their children of the works of God. Fathers were to pass the heritage down to sons; the fathers failed to do so, God was not remembered; the next generations turned to idol worship.
Redig the wells of living water keep the altar fires burning!
