THE LORDS PRAYER
We are told by Jesus in Mat.6; 9-13 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy WILL be done in earth, as it is in heaven. GIVE us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. AMEN!
AH, the beauty and simplicity in His words! First, we know, we are to pray to A HOLY, SCARED Father. Then we ask for His kingdom to come. His kingdom does His will, by His power! If any chose not to do His will, than they were cast out! An example, Satan, that beautiful angel who chose his will over Gods. We see He wants His will done here in earth also. His will my friends, not ours! Do not try to candy coat this any other way, for it’s the truth that sets us free! He goes on to state, GIVE us our daily bread! What, I thought my job was supposed to do that. You know, if you don’t work you don’t eat! Thess. 3; 7-12 Is being told to a Church, that was doing the will of the Father, except for some busybodies. Members of the church all had work to do and some were not doing it. Something that is GIVEN is not EARNED, folks. Forgive us our debts as we forgive others. We must forgive others, if we want to be forgiven. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Temptation so easily besets us, but we have a Father that will deliver us! For His is the Kingdom, the power and to whom all the glory should be bestowed, forever!
Do we really believe this when we pray it? Truly, if we did, would the world and church be in the mess they are in today? The church is trying to promote the kingdom, through the work of mans hands. Money has been given the power that the Father alone is to have. His church, should be a active demonstration of Gods power. The church can not meet the worlds need with money because it will never have enough. And Only Gods power in action can save those in need of a Saviour. If we don’t take Him to them, how will they know Him? Should Gods church not be full of miracles and wonders displayed by the power of Gods hands? Or are we, just like the rest of the world, dependant upon money! We may believe that money makes this world go around, but a living demonstration of Gods power should be in the churches.
