THE LORDS PRAYER After this manner therefore pray ye: MATT. 6 : 9-13 Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: ( For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.)

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : 9 OurFather John 20:17 go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. 1 john 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Matt.11:27 and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : 9 = immeasurable greatness 2 Chr 6:18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built! Isa 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Psa 104:1-2 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : 9 A day is blessed, because of what is or will be imparted to those who are commanded to observe it. The sanctification of the day implies the setting of it apart that it might be kept in some way different from other days. J.Thomas Elpis Israel Name know name revered names Exo 3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. (This is my name forever, and it is the name that people must use from now on. CEB )

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : 9 “Both in ‘ Eureka ’ and ‘ Phanerosis ’ Dr. Thomas wrote much about the name ‘ Yahweh.’ To study the word aright, introduces us to the subject of God-manifestation, the Scripture teaching concerning which many have misunderstood. Some people, with nothing better than a vague notion as to what Dr. Thomas’s writings on this subject really amount to, have adjudged him in error on some points; and most frequently a little examination has shown that the points of difference have involved a difficult criticism or an investigation of matters beyond the compass of those who have not seen their way to be content with dealing with things which are within their reach. Others, however, convinced of the impregnability of Dr. Thomas’s position, have been thankful for the plainly expressed results of his labour and study, and grateful for the light he shed upon the doctrine of God-manifestation in its many revealed phases; and this, notwithstanding their individual inability to follow him in every stage of his reasoning, owing to their own lack of the qualifications necessary to support them in an adventure on the field of Biblical criticism… It will be patent to any reader of Dr. Thomas’s works that he did not find his problems ready worked out, neither were the difficulties he encountered already solved and only waiting to be ‘re-hashed up.’ It is also clear to anyone having only a slight acquaintance with current and recent literature on the subjects dealt with by the Doctor, that hard study and careful investigation were required before he could, in the lucid way he did, ‘open up the Scriptures’ to enquirers after the way of life. Bringing to bear upon the subject of God-manifestation, a knowledge of the revealed purpose of the Deity, he was well equipped for his task of examining both the Old and New Testaments.”

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : 9 THE NAME IS TO BE LIVED Exo 34:6-7 The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

THE WORD Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : 13 LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION Pos. Trial / proving Neg. Rebellion against God

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : NEGATIVE James 1:13-15 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Therefore it is UNNECESSARY to ask God to ‘lead us not into temptation’

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : POSITIVE James 1:2+12 count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Therefore why would you ask God NOT to lead you into temptation ?

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : 13 We need to undergo trial YET To ask God to LEAD us into trial WOULD BE PRECOCIOUS AND ARROGANT Matt.26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : 13 The meaning of the verse: lead us not into temptation, (Because we realise our weakness) but (if you do try us, because we need it) deliver us from the evil: ( of falling into sin) Matt.26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : 13 The reason trials sometimes fail Jas 1:14-15 “ But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” Heb 3:8-9 “Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.”

THE LORDS PRAYER MATT. 6 : 13 The danger of boasting Matt.26:33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all [men] shall be offended because of thee, [yet] will I never be offended. Matt.14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. The results Matt.26:75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly Matt.14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
