Our Father
Jesus has given us the pattern
 to pray to God our Father.Begin
our prayer with praise to God.
 And end our prayer with praise to
God. When we pray, " our Father",
 we are having a Father and
children relationship with God.
When we pray" our Father", we are
having a brother sister relationship
 with the other believers.When
we pray " our Father" ,we are
 in God's family.

If God is our Father , then we
 have peace with God. And we also
are at peace with all the members
 of God's family.There are no
rivals within God's family
We will spend eternity with our
brothers and sisters in Christ.

If our relationship is not right
 between our brothers and sisters,
 then our relationship with God
 will be messed up. Our Lord wants
us to love one another as
 He has loved us.
In the beginning Adam was blessed .
 He was a reflecting image of
God. He was humble and meek.
 He was patient. A spirit of
 love dwelt in Adam.Peace , joy,
 and love lived in him. After
 their fall from
grace Adam and Eve became slaves
 of Satan.When man fall from grace,
man broke his spiritual fellowship
 with God immediately. Man lost
his image of God immediately. Man 
died spiritually. And man
eventually died physically. After
 their fall from the grace of God,
they begun to only survive among
 the wild beasts in the world.Man
was no better than wild beasts. 
The ground of the earth was cursed.
Man has to toil to survive. Man
 has to struggle to survive.Man has
to struggle to survive like wild
 beasts. The unsaved person is a
slave of the devil. And the devil
 is capable of showing off his
wickedness through his slaves.
 Surviving is not living. Wild beasts
struggle to survive. Living belong
 to spiritual folks. Spiritual
folks live in fellowship with God.
 The rest of the other folks are
separated from God because of their
 sin. They are like wild beasts
that fight to survive. The character
 of God is so perfect and the
nature of man is so full of flaws 
that the holiness of God becomes a
barrier to man. God's standard is
 so high that it is impossible for
man to reach on his own effort and
 strength. Man's failure to
measure up to God's standard, has
 incurred the just sentencing of
God, the penalty of death
(Romans 1:18). 
God has told Adam and Eve
that there would be spiritual death
 immediately and physical death
eventually if they disobey Him.
When they disobeyed God, and broke
His law , they incurred a debt of
 sin with God. When any law is
broken , justice demands retribution
 of some kind. Jesus said,
I'm the way ,the truth,and the life. 
No man can come unto the
Father except by me.

The believers are in the family 
of God. They follow their Lord Jesus
in calling God as " our Father".
God's Holy Name
Holy is the name of God. The 
character of God is holiness. Praise
God. Hallow be thy name. Holy 
is the name of God.God almighty.
Praise the name of God. Hallow
 be His name. God reveals Himself in
His name.

Jehovah-Shalom. Jehovah is peace
(Judges 6:24).
Jehovah-Nissi.Johovah is my banner.
(Ex 17:15)
Jehovah-Tsidkenus.Jehovah our 
righteousness(Jer 23:16).
 God's name
expresses the eternal, essential,
unchangeable Being of Jehovah.
 El Saddai is used for the 
attributes of God. Jesus is called the
Light of the world. Jesus is 
called the bread of life. God's
kingdom come> God's will be 
done,as in heaven so on earth.
Think of all the good things
 about God. And start praising God

Be thankful to God for all 
His wonderful gifts.



On earth the unbelievers do not
 hallow God's name. On earth
unbelievers do not praise God's
 holy name. On earth unbelievers do
not respect the authority of God.
 On earth unbelievers do not carry
out God's will. On earth the name
 of the devil is honored by the
unbelievers. On earth there is
the kingdom of darkness that is ruled
by the devil. Satan is the prince
 of this world . The whole world is
temporary under his evil hands.

The purpose of God is to have
 His will be done on earth as it is
done in heaven. In heaven God's
 holy name is honored. His holy name
is hallowed and His will is done. 
In heaven God's holy name is
praised.

We preached the Good News of the
 Lord Jesus Christ in order to
deliver people out of the evil
 hands of the devil. Then the saved
folks may hallow God's name and 
submit themselves to God's will and
authority.

This will cause God's kingdom to
 come to the very earth that we now
stand in.

In the beginning God charged the
 first man , Adam , to keep the
garden of Eden. This indicates
 that there was an enemy around. 
The dominion that God gave man 
was the dominion that formerly assigned
to Lucifer who later became Satan.

Man is made out of the 
dust of the earth. And the serpent
 was cursed to eat the dust all
 the days of his life. Thus
 man is under the
power of Satan.

The first man failed to obey God.
And the first man Adam was defeated
by Satan. After his fall from 
the grace of God, the first man was a
slave of the devil. So God 
raised up the second man Christ to
overcome Satan. The Lord Jesus Christ
 redeemed us with His precious
blood. Chrsit has done God's will .
 The Lord Jesus unites all the
believers who are saved to Himself 
in order that they may praise
God, do God's will, and defeat 
Satan's kingdom. When Jesus gave his
life on the cross , Jesus purchased
 our salvation for us with his
precious blood.Jesus made it possible
 for us to reap the blessings
and promise of God. Let God's kingdom
 come. What is the kingdom of
God?

The kingdom of God is not
 eating and drinking ,but
 righteousness and peace and 

joy of the Holy Spirit.(Romans 4:17)

The kingdom of God points to the
 spiritual state.

The kingdom also points to the
 future reign during

the millennium.Today's spiritual 
condition decides

the reigning in the future.

The dominion that God gave to 
the first man Adam was

the dominion that God formerly
 assigned to Lucifer 

who later became Satan. 

Because of man's fall , man has 
lost his dominion.

Satan's world is a kingdom of
 darkness.

On earth the name of the devil
 is honored by the unbelievers.

Satan is the prince of this
 world of darkness.The whole 

world lied under his evil hands.
 The unbelievers who

are under Satan's influence do
 not respect the authority 

of God. Those folks who are 
under the influence of 

the devil do not carry the
 will of God.In the kingdom of 

darkness , the unbelievers
 worship the 

idols of knowledge,These folks
 waste their precious 

time chasing after the knowledge
 of darkness. The more

worldly knowledge they took, 
the more lost they became. 

They have knowledge but they
 have no wisdom. They

think that they are clever but 

they are foolish. They are
 foolish because they 

are perishing.

The Good News of Jesus Christ
 is foolishness to those

foolish people who are perishing.
 But unto the

believers, Jesus is the power 
and wisdom of God.

In the world of darkness foolish
 people lust after

worldly treasures that will gather
 rust and moth.

The path they take lead them to
 destruction.

Christ redeemed us unto Himself.
 Christ set us 

free from our bondage to the devil.

The Lord Jesus redeemed us with 
his precious blood. Christ has
 done God's will. The Lord Jesus

unites all the believers who 
are saved to Himself 

in order that they may praise God,
 do God's will,

and defeat Satan's kingdom.

In Christ the believers cause
 God's will to be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

After his fall Adam lost God's
 protection and God's blessings.
 God raised up the second man

Christ to overcome Satan. 

God became man in Christ Jesus.
 And Jesus fought

the spiritual war with devil.

When Christ redeemed us ,
 He regained the blessings

of God for us.

When Jesus gave his life at
 the cross, Jesus purchased 

our salvation for us to reap
 the blessings and promises 

of God.

We regain God's blessings through
 faith in the Lord Jesus

Christ. We have to take the step
 of faith in the Lord.

Jesus is the way, the truth , 
and the life. No man can

come to God except by the 
Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessedness does not depend
 on outward possessions,

such as worldly physical treasures.
 Blessedness does not depend
high birth or worldly treasures.

Jesus pointed out that those
 people who stand

possessed of these worldly things
 will find it harder to enter 
the kingdom of heaven. These folks

who are too attached to their
 worldly goods will

not have time for God.

Jesus said, Woe unto you 
that are rich. 

Woe unto you that are full...
 Woe unto you

that laugh...(Luke 6:21-25)

Jesus didn't say that such people
 would not be excluded from heaven,
but he did point out that the 
entrance into blessedness would be
harder for these people. Blessedness
 is not to be obtained by merit
of holy deeds. Blessings is not
 to be obtained as reward for devoted
service. Blessings is not a
 reward that comes after years of
service. Jesus shows us how to
 regain God's blessings that Adam has
lost. The beatitudes give the
 character of those folks who will
inherit the kingdom.

Character makes the man. For 
believers Jesus Christ makes

the character of the believer.
As the believer put himself

in His hands, the Lord breaks,
 and makes him to meet the 

Master's use.

The kingdom of God is not eating
 and drinking , but 

righteousness and peace and joy
 of the Holy Spirit.

 GOD' WILL
God's will be done on earth,
 as it is in heaven.

God is the creator and sustainer 
of the universe.

God through Christ is the Redeemer
 of sinful men.

The purpose of God is to have
 His will be done on earth 
as it is done in heaven.In 

the beginning God charged the
 first man ,

Adam , to keep the garden of Eden.

The dominion that God gave to
 man was the dominion that God 
formerly assigned 

to Lucifer who later became Satan.

The first Adam stepped out of
 the protection 

of God. 

And without the protection of God , 
Adam was defeated by Satan. He
 became a slave of Satan.

So God gave His begotten son
 to become man.

And God raised up this second
 man Christ to

overcome Satan.

The Lord Jesus Christ redeemed us
 with His precious 

blood. Christ has done God's will .
 The Lord Jesus 

Christ unites all the believers
 who are saved to

Himself in order that they may
 praise God, do

God's will, and defeat Satan's kingdom.

Our Daily Bread
Lord ,give us our daily bread.
 The believers do not hoard in this
world. Jesus is the bread of life.
 God wants us to completely
depend on Him. God is the Giver
 of the bread that keeps us
alive.God is more important than
 the food. God wants us to feed on
Him, who is the bread of life. 
The Lord is the food for the
soul.We need our heavenly Father's
 provision for our daily existence. 
It has taken God five days to 
restore the earth. Then
on the six day God creates man.
God preparess everything for man's
need, before God creates man. Only 
trusting in God can we get rid
of our anxiety.God will supply 
our needs. God knows what you have
need of these things. God will
 fill our needs but God is
 not bound to  satisfy our selfish 
demands.Sometimes these demands are for
selfish reasons. So don't expect
 God to satisfy your demands.

Jesus said," Therefore I say
 unto you, Take no thought for your
life, what you shall eat ,
 or what you shall drink ;
 nor yet for
your body, what you shall put on.
 Is not the life more than meat,
 and the body than clothes ? " 
( Matt 6:25)

 Be not anxious about your 
earthly life . Don't worry about
your human needs. Don't waste your
 time thinking about unimportant
things in your earthly life. 
Do not waste your precious time trying
to figure out what you shall eat
 or what you shall drink.Don't
waste your time worrying about 
what kind of clothing you shall put
on. The purpose of your life is
 more than just eating and
drinking. Don't waste your time
 decorating your body with
clothing. This intense concern for
 food , drink, and clothing will
distract your mind from God.

 Jesus said,

"Behold the fowls of the air :
 for they sow not, neither do they
reap, nor gather into barns;
 yet your heavenly Father feeds
them.Are you not much better 
than they? "(Matt 6:26)
Look at the birds of the air .
 The birds do not worry abour their
daily needs. They don"t toil
 uselessly for their daily food. The
birds sow no seeds . Neither do 
the birds reap any crops. The
birds are not anxious about
 tomorrow.Yet your heavenly Father
feeds them.Are you not much 
better than birds? When the
 Creator is your heavenly Father ,
 why do you waste your time
 worrying about your basic needs?
 Have faith in your heavenly
 Father to take care
of your basic need for food ,
 drink , and clothing.
Which of you by taking though
 can add one cubit unto his
stature? (Matthew 6:27)
Man can not conntrol his own
 physical growth. Man has no control
of the laws of the physical 
nature. No matter how clever man is ,
he is not capable of controlling
 life. God makes the laws of
nature. everything acts according 
to God's law. Man's physical
growth moves according to God's 
law that governs nature.
And why take you thought
 for raiment? consider the lilies of
the field, how they grow; they
 toil not , neither do they spin.
and yet I say unto you ,
 That even Solomon in all his
 glory was not arrayed like 
one of these.(Matt 6:28-29)
.
Don't waste your time worry 
about your clothes . God controls
food essential for all growth. 
Since God provides food and clothes
for the simple lilies , should
 we not trust Him to provide for us
when He has told us that we are
 more important than flowers and
wild beasts? When you pray ,
 don't waste your time asking for
basic needs.God has already 
supplied your needs.
Wherefore, if God so clothe
 the grass of the field, which
today is, and tomorrow is cast
 into the oven, shall He not much
more clothe you, O you of little
 faith? (Matt 6:30)
The beauty of the lilies is
 short-lived. It is beautiful today .
Tomorrow it is out with the grass
 and used for man's fuel. God has
told us that we are more
 important than these simple
 plants. If He will provide for
 the grass, surely God will
 provide for us.
Therefore take no thought ,
 saying , What shall we eat? or,
What shall we drink ? 
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(Matt6:32)
Don't waste your time worrying 
about your food and clothing. God
will take care of your basic needs.
(For after all these things 
do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knows that you 
have need of all these
things.(Matt 6:32)
Don't waste your time worrying about
 you food and clothing.God
will take care of your basic needs.
(For after all these things do
 the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knows that you
 have need of all these things (Matt
6:32).
God is not the Father for the 
pagans. God is the Father for the
believers.Our heavenly Father knows 
you have basic needs and He
provides for you.
But seek you first the kingdom
 of God , and His righteousness ;
and all these things shall be 
added unto you (Matt 6:33).
Use your precious time to seek 
first the kingdom of God, and His
righteousness.God will take care
 of your basic needs while you
seek first the kingdom of God 
and His righteousness.
Take therefore no thought for
 the morrow: for the morrow shall
take thought for the things of 
itself .Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof (Matt 6:34) 
FORGIVE
 And forgive us our debts.
 Sin is debt owed to God.Sins are
moral and

spiritual debts to God's righteousness.

Forgiveness always is by the grace
 of God and based on Christ's atonement.

Since God has such an abundant
 forgiving spirit, it is expected
 that the believer

should have a forgiving spirit.
 God has already forgiven us so
 much .(Eph 4:32)

An unforgiving spirit is sin.
 The forgiveness here has to do with
the covering of sins of daily
 weakness and faults of the saved. 
We are not perfect yet.

But we are perfect in Christ,
 who is perfect 

and without sin.

The Lord tells that asking forgiveness,

we must always say,
As we forgive".
 We are to reconciled with
our neighbors before we offer 
our gift at the altar.

God does not forgive an 
unforgiving spirit.

Our hearts must reach out for
 our debtors in

pity and in forgiving love.


DELIVER US FROM EVIL
Temptation include all testing.
 Christ submitted willingly to
 God during his earthly ministry.

We can follow our Lord's steps
 in overcoming the

the temptations of the devil.

God does not tempt. Temptation includes
 all testing. God allows to get

into battles with the devil.
 God allows us to be

tested so that we will be able
 to overcome temptations 

We can follow the examples of
 Christ in overcoming

the devil.

And when he had fasted forty
 days and forty nights,

he was afterward hungred.

In the garden of Eden, Adam 
lusting for more fruit

even after being filled with 
the fruits of the

trees. He wanted the forbidden
 fruit. It is different with Jesus .
Jesus was fasting by

denial of legitimate food.
 How can we overcome of 

things , if we cannot gain victory
 in the matter of eating and 
drinking.Food is for nourishment
 of the the body . Food is not
 for pleasure (Phil 3:19)

 and when the tempter came
 to him, he said,

If you be the Son of God,
 command that these 

stones be made bread.

But he answered and said,
 It is written, Man

shall not live by bread alone,
 but by every

word that proceeds out of the
 mouth of God.(Matt 4:3-4)

 God's will for His Son
 Jesus on earth is to be 

a man to take away man's sin.
 But Jesus Christ

never stop being the Son of God.
 Jesus is always

the Son of God. 
For Jesus , God's testimony is

sufficient.Jesus refuses to
 be provoked to prove who is.

 Again the devil took him
 up into an exceeding 

high mountain, and showed him 
all the kingdoms of

the world, and the glory of them; 

And said unto him, All these
 things will I give

you , if you will fall down and
 worship me.

Then said Jesus unto him, 
Get you hence; for

it is written, You shall worship
 the Lord your God,

and Him only shall you serve
(Matthew 4:8-10) 

The devil has nothing to give.
 It is an empty 

proposal. It is written in the
 Scriptures that 

everything belongs to the Lord God.

Everyone is required to worship
 the Lord God. And

you shall serve only the Lord God.

Jesus leads us by example. 
As a man, Jesus overcomes 

the devil. We can follow Jesus in
 overcoming the devil.




Yours is the kingdom, and the
power , and the glory , 
forever
God is giving us the kingdom
of heaven. The blessed folks.
Theirs is the kingdom of 
heaven.
Jesus tells us how to
get our prayers answered by
God the Father.
First of all we must know 
our God. We must know
the requirements of our
God. 
We have access to God
through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
We have present need.
We are pardon for past
guilt. And we have
protection from future weakness.
In the garden of Eden, 
Adam was lusting for
more fruit even after
being filled the fruits
of the other trees.
It was different with 
Jesus. Jesus was fasting
by the denial of legitimate
food.
How can we overcome other
things , if we can not 
gain victory in the 
matter of eating and
drinking ?
Food is for nourishment for
the body. Food is not for
pleasure (Phil 3:19).

God said, If my people,
which are called by my
name, shall humble themselves
and pray, and seek my
face, and turn from
their wicked ways ; then
will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land
(2 Chronicles 7:14 )

God's kingdom is a 
kingdom of love. 
God is love.
For God so loved the
world that He gave 
His only begotten Son 
so that whosoever believes
in Him should not perish
but have everlasting life.
Kingdom come. The character
of the citizen of the 
kingdom. 
The beatitudes give the
character of those folks 
who will inherit the
kingdom. Such folks really
repent.
They love. As the Lord 
has loved them they 
give their love abundantly
to each other.
They become the salt of 
the earth and the light
of the world.
