“This, then is how you should pray”

“Our Father who art in Heaven” # 15 

 

The word “our” implies that there is at least two or more people praying to God as a father in heaven. One of the greatest truths hidden in the word “our” is that those who are praying have not failed to recognize the life of God in one another. 

 

The word “our” makes two or more individuals a unity. (A Joint). 

 

That is the definition of the church: people united in Jesus, members of one body. While a congregation is only people together in Christ. 

 

Prayer is more than obtaining answers for our needs and wants. Prayer’s richest side effect is the fellowship of the saints, which is the inheritance of every believer even in this life. This inheritance is not meant to be saved for heaven but to be spent on Earth as testimony to the world around us. 

 

While on Earth the fellowship of the saints is the fellowship on the remnant of the minority on earth, but in heaven, it will be the rule of the land and it will be unanimous.

 

To pray: “Our father who art in heaven,” is our testimony to a dying world.
