Matthew 6:9
“In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.”
JESUS IS TEACHING US HOW TO PRAY IN A WAY THAT FATHER GOD WILL HEAR AND ANSWER.
“OUR”
This speaks of a great revelation and fellowship position that Jesus Christ has brought us into.
We, and Jesus, have the same Father when we are “IN CHRIST”.
Our brothers and sisters “IN CHRIST” all have the same Father in heaven.
The reason Jesus Christ came to earth was to reconcile us to Father God as sons and daughters. Whenever we pray this prayer set forth by Jesus it reminds us that we are sons to our Father God.
“OUR” brings forth the first and foremost reality that we are not alone in Father’s kingdom. We are not on a island. We have family with…….
*FATHER GOD
*THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
*ALL THOSE WHO ARE “IN CHRIST”
In this family we have been given “THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION “. We walk as sons, ADOPTED THROUGH CHRIST, and say……”BE RECONCILED TO GOD “.
WE LOVE AND RESPECT…….
*THE FATHER OF THE KINGDOM
*THE SON OF THE KINGDOM
*THE SONS OF THE KINGDOM
Only sons and daughters can pray this prayer.
This elevation to “SONS” opens God’s ears to hear you. He sees his perfect Son, Jesus, when he looks at you.
Father does not see your sins when you pray.
He sees the “NEW CREATION IN CHRIST”. He sees you, “HIS SON,”
HE IS OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.
"THE place for you to grow in grace."
