In Luke 11:2-4; the disciples asked Messiah to teach
them how to pray and He said, when you pray say:
OUR FATHER IN THE HEAVENS, LET YOUR NAME BE SET-APART (Holy)
(Father's Name should be the only
one used and no other. His Name must be separate from all pagan gods, we should
not mention any other gods but the true living Creator because He is set-apart
(Holy)),
LET YOUR REIGN COME
(we must ask for His Kingdom to come
quick),
LET YOUR DESIRE BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
(let Father's will be done here on
earth because in heaven His will is done).
GIVE US DAY BY DAY OUR DAILY BREAD
(thank Him for our daily food, our
health, our work, our family, our home and daily living).
AND FORGIVE OUR SINS (ask forgiveness for the wrong things we do and ask for
guidance),
FOR WE ALSO FORGIVE EVERYONE WHO IS INDEBTED TO US
(forgive those who did us wrong as
Father forgave us).
AND DO NOT LEAD US INTO TRAIL
(guide us through our difficult
times),
BUT RESCUE US FROM THE WICKED ONE
(protect us from sin/evil).
(The Scriptures ISR)
Do not pray like the Pharisees did
in Luke 18:11-12; Master,
I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, covetous,
adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
1
Thess. 5:17, Pray without ceasing.
Ephes.
6:18, Through all prayer and petition,
praying at all times in the Spirit, and watching to this same thing with all
perseverance and petition concerning all the saints.
Paul (Saul) also asks in verse 19 to
pray for him. Likewise we should pray for each other.
Jude
1:20, But you, beloved, building
yourselves up by your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
Daniel was found 3 times a day on
his knees praying – Daniel
6:10-11. Daniel had a personal relationship with Yahuah (Yahweh). He
walked with the Almighty Father daily. He did nothing before speaking to Father
through prayer.
Prayer is meant to be a solemn
dialogue from the heart, not a memorized repetitious chanting that many still
do today.
We speak to the Creator the same way
we speak to our earthly father.
Make time for Him, go into your
quiet place and speak to Yahuah (Yahweh) through His son Yahusha (Yahshua -
Jesus) Messiah. The Almighty has done so much for us; there is nothing we can
do for Him but only to be obedience to His word/will.
