The Lord's Prayer (1)

Matthew 6:9~13

Introduction: Prayer is the spiritual breath of Christians. Spiritually, we will suffocate to death if we don't pray, just as we will die if we don't breathe.혻Although we pray everyday, we don't know how to pray well. It is not necessary to speak fluently for a good prayer.혻A prayer needs to have the right order and contents.혻That is what God is teaching us.


1. Our Father in heaven.

혻혻 1) We must turn our face toward heaven.혻 We must adore God
?€?€and have a heart of fear (Ps 2:11; Pr 1:7).
혻혻 2) God is our father.
혻혻혻혻혻 (1) The Source of our life (Ps 89:26; 1 Co 8:6; Jn 1:12,13).
혻혻혻혻혻 (2) Who is taking care of us (Ps 31:23).
혻혻혻혻혻 (3) Who is overflowing with majesty and love (Ps 145:5,8).
혻혻 3) We must accept the name of God preciously and gloriously
?€?€(Ps 43:21; Dt 6:5; Ps 145:1; Ro 11:36).


2. Your kingdom come.

혻혻 1) The kingdom of God was lost in the Garden of Eden by Adam, but it was
?€?€recovered at Calvary's cross by Jesus (Lk 4:6; Jn 10:10; Col 2:15; 1:13).

혻혻혻혻혻 (2) The kingdom of fullness of the Holy Spirit (Tit 3:6,7; Ro 14:17).
혻혻혻혻혻 (3) The kingdom of healing (Mt 12:28; Ac 10:38).
혻혻혻혻혻 (4) The kingdom of the blessing of Abraham (Gal 3:13,14; Mt 6:33).
혻혻혻혻혻 (5) The kingdom of resurrection and advent (1 Th 4:16,17; Rev 22:12,13).
혻혻 2) The kingdom is혻within Jesus, and the kingdom will come when we accept
?€?€Jesus (Mt 4:17; Lk 17:21; Rev 1:5,6; 1 Pe 2:9).
혻혻 3) The kingdom of the Lord must come (Ac 1:7,8; Rev 11:15; 21:2).

혻혻혻혻혻 (2) The non believer (1 Jn 5:19; 2 Co 4:4; Jn 3:18).
혻혻혻혻혻 (3) The secular believer (Ro 8:7; 1 Jn 2:15-17).
혻혻 2) Jesus achieved the will of God (Php 2:5-8).
혻혻 3) We must worship Jesus on the throne of our heart.
혻혻혻혻혻 We must serve God as His servant, farmhand, and His worker
?€?€(Ps 123:1,2; Mt 7:21; Gal 2:20).
혻혻 4) God must reign in heaven and on earth with His absolute sovereign
?€?€power (Ps 103:19; Da 4:17; 1 Ch 29:11).


Conclusion: The things that concern God must come first in our prayers, and the things that concern us should follow His.혻Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and then we can tell Him about our desires.혻Next Sunday we will find out how to tell Him about our desires.
