“This, then is how you should pray”

“Our Father who art in Heaven” # 17

 

If our prayers proclaim, “Our father who art in heaven,” then we are also of heavenly origin and final destiny. We are citizens of another world. Therefore, we are supernatural beings destined to live supernatural lives under the umbrella-like words “Our father who art in heaven.” 

 

Father and children are of another Kingdom and are expected to behave differently in this natural kingdom. If you are the son of the King, you must have the modus of Royalty. We are to live daily in a supernatural fashion. 

 

The rule of the Kingdom of God is His will. So, we better behave as royalty or not call God our Father in heaven at all. It is not our behavior that makes us children of God, but because we are already children of God we must behave in a godly manner.

 

We are not to be confused with those hard face reprobates who shake their fists to God in defiance. We are of those whose countenance have changed and whose hearts of stone have been replaced by a heart of flesh that joins hands in prayer on their knees with their faces on the ground.

 

“A prince must resemble the King in appearance as well as in conduct.”

“Our Father who art in heaven.”
