Repeat after Jesus

“Our Father in Heaven”

 

As we pray the “Lord’s Prayer” we are compelled to think of Heaven as the dwelling place of God of Heaven and earth.

We grow in awareness of the name of God, his nature, his uniqueness, his holiness, his purity, his perfection, his complete beauty, power, and majesty. And this leads us to focus and center our thinking on his name.

If we lift up his name, he will draw all men unto himself. We must preach Jesus alone.

The rippled effect of this frame of mind will keep us focused on the Kingdom of God and will devalue any earthly kingdom to rubbish. We will desire and long for God, His Kingdom in us and through us, and the prompt return of Jesus to consummate the total establishment of his Kingdom.

As we pray the Lord’s Prayer the natural consequence of our reasoning will lead us to long for the will of God for our lives and our earth as it is done in Heaven.

The desire for the will of God is the consequence of thinking of God as our Father and thinking of Heaven and his Kingdom inaugurated by Jesus as our Eternal home.

This is the teaching elder on duty in matters of Prayer.
