Matthew 6:6-13 ~ Hallowed by Your Name Jesus






Goodbye to the Snowiest February in History!!!


Matthew 6:6-13


But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray then like this:

“Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.






This Saturday and Sunday, it's fairly apparent we aren't all out of snow, but good is arriving.








We all pray the Lord's Prayer. The Words of the Son of God.




And then we added to them?

For Thine is the Kingdom
and the Power
and the Glory. Amen.


Ok. Why?





John explained why the Words were added to the Very Words of Jesus Christ.

John 19:35
The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.



John - we know where he lived. We know why John was on Patmos. We know John was told Jesus would return. We know John was an eyewitness to the Glory of God is Alive and Working. The Glory of God's Son Resurrecting. The Glory of the Return of Jesus Christ again to the Living.





Revelation 6

Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!”

2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse!

And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.



For Thine is the Kingdom
and the Power
and the Glory. Amen.


The Lord's Prayer bears witness to the Glory of God Revealed.


1 John 1:1

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands--this is the Word of Life.



1 John 1:2

And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, 
and we proclaim to you t
he eternal life that was with the Father 
and was revealed to us.

Luke 2:13-14 ~ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased












Luke 2:13-14




And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,




 “Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”


I was listening to a discussion on 'moral dessert.' The concept of poor motivation for good deeds. We build every day. We are building a life and an analogy of a quilt will work well. God does away with the idea of 'moral dessert'. Father God tells us His motivation is to save the world. We are invited into His Glory. His Kingdom, His Home, His eternity, His Love and the Love of His Son, Jesus Christ.

The Glory of God is His Love. His Love is amazingly generous. God tells us His work for mankind is to believe. The Almighty, Alpha and Omega proclaims He loves us first. We love for the generosity of His Love.

God tells us fruit is important. Hearts of Love, Joy and Peace. Finding God in His Good Creation around us. Realizing the Mission of God does not exist because we debunk, debase the day to day culture. To be in the world and expect to find blessings. To be not of the world. God does not give His Son with open arms, ending a Life Jesus has Called Joy, to condemn the flaws and strugglings of mankind. God gives us Jesus to take His well-earned wrath from us. To provide Life.

We are allowed to fear God. So many times the word 'yar' is used for fear - reverence. And yet God gives His very Word - God would rather find mercy. David writes goodness and mercy will be found following the one who Loves God. Our footprints are goodness and mercy.

John the Disciple stood and risked being slaughtered horribly by the Roman Empire to stand with Jesus on Good Friday. If we look for the reason - John identified God as God of Love. John had been eyewitness to the miracles said to follow in the footsteps of the Messiah. God's exact nature on earth.

God of Love.

God tells us to not be 'of' the world. To find what is pure and noble. To represent the 12 Gates of Heaven are always open and our destination with all of God's Creation - mankind - are the same. Jesus Son of God. Light of the world. Light in mankind.

To explain man lives by every Word of God. And the Word of God manifest is Jesus Christ.

To absorb the Scriptures to find the Willingness of God giving His Son to you - to find Him to be your Father.




This evening I was so blessed to hear the Great Horned Owl.






The Great Horned Owl has a striking name, for reason a mere recording will not convey. The contentment is heard almost like the Dove. The sweet noise of immense gratitude. The enjoyment of the nest and the companion. Watching the sun rest and the calm of the evening. Doves cry, "Jesus is King." Owls do this as well in the joy of the call. The Great Horned  Owl is a bird, with hollow bones and is able to make cooing and thunder. Your ear will hear this clearly 2 or 4 suburban blocks away and as the noise reaches you ~ your chest will rattle a little as if lightning was nearby. No instrument of mankind does this without electric magnification and, yet, The Great Horned Owl has a little of the power of thunder to carry the noise impressively carried as bold and utter contentment. The Joy of home. Blessing of God's Provision.

The Call. God describes Thunder as His Voice.  Elijah found God as a quiet voice. The personal and complete knowing of God - speaks within our heart, mind and soul.  We know His Love.

The Bible is the Word of God, the journey is where God is present.
Seeing, receiving, sharing and building.




Psalm 42

Deep calls to Deep

I remember You
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
from Mount Mizar.

Deep calls to deep
at the roar of your waterfalls;
all your breakers and your waves
have gone over me.

By day the LORD commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.



Abba, Father God,

Let the Glory of Your Love be our daily Blessing.

The Willingness of You, Good Father, as living within those we Love to carry their Peace to know Your Home. Speaking to our soul, feeding our mind, filling our hearts.

Knowing more Heaven on earth is the Joy and Love within us.

The Light to the brightness of Nations. The Light of Christ Jesus stands forever, continuing into Your Glory, Your Kingdom, Your Word, Your Promises our assurance. Fill our Nation with Trust in You. Your Promises are forever.

The Communion of the Saints to consider the Prayers of Your Beloved circling Your Good Creation. More Heaven on earth in Jesus Christ. Blessing the People of God fed for millenniums by our Good Father.

Fill us with Your Voice and Love.  In Christ Jesus Alleluia.

Amen.

Psalm 91 ~ show him My Salvation





Psalm 91


He who dwells
 in the shelter of the Most High
will abide 
in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge—
10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him

I will protect him, 
because he knows my name.

15 When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.

16 With long life, I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”



Collections. A very witty friend of mine tells me her collections have collections.

And don't our thoughts have collections and then, maybe, pet thoughts. Pets. And don't our pet thoughts have established patterns of thoughts leading down the same path as yesterday?


I have a collection most Christians have. I have a collection of Sermons, Bible Studies and Answered Prayers that are my "Go To Collection." They are my favorite pet thought collection.

I think I'll explain it like this:
Jesus came down from an amazing mountain, where His Disciples met Moses, Elijah and God Himself.  Then Jesus has the opportunity to find His Disciples are not succeeding with the father and the son in distress. The father yells out, "I have FAITH. I do I really do. God Help me to have More Faith."

My first thought upon waking is to pray for all the family and place them with Jesus. In times of sunshine, this is Joy. In times of worry, I ask Jesus to pray with me to make the Prayer Effective. I ask Jesus to borrow His Faith.

In this Prayer. We are placed where the Light of our Soul has Jesus replenishing us. At the top of Living Water soaking and seeping wherever Jesus would have this Blessing go. Blessing those around us and filling us.

This is wonderful. And if someone has trouble, then I worry.





And I remember a Sermon about a man at work who had quit praying because everything was always the same. The same Blessing. The same wife, job, children and drive to and from work. Until the day a man at the office had his child die in a car wreck. And this Sermon is about the shame of getting on the office floor (door closed) to mourn privately and the shame to Pray Again Suddenly and the shame to beg a Busy God to spare his own children. And ending the prayer pretty quickly to not get caught with more shame. Brush off the real tears and cry a little more and get back to work - fast.

The man was so caught up - he drove past his children's school to pray for the safety of all the children while taking a new detour to do this on the way home. Arriving a little later to hug his oldest child. The child calmly told him carpool had been in a very bad wreck on the way home but they all ended up fine. And realizing his prayer was for all the children at school enfolding all the children in the car on the way home. Realizing with a life-changing day - God is listening and answering Prayer.









I know a minister quite well who has a similar prayer story.



This Minister prayed over every semester of college for the son to have safe classes, good classes, a good heart, mind and soul. To meet godly people, to be safe, to have his walk with Jesus safe. For the joy of the classes, the students and the Professors. To establish His Path with Father God Almighty. And about the third year of college this former student youth minister son announced to the Minister, he was done with the Easter Bunny and Jesus.



The minister continued to fast and pray over every new semester day. Feeling downhearted. Bummed out. Unheard in all of the people praying - all over the world. A salmon prayer swimming up the salmon stream. Knowing some people prayed for sunshine for one day and others prayed for rain, same day. Feeling not excited about the obligation and duty of prayer when it was one drop of water in the ocean of prayer.

And so far, not apparently answered prayer. Having the prayer feel, "way past the good date." Expired. And then feeling ashamed of not being hopeful to pray. And prayed and fasted on with humbug. And humbug apology.

The son graduated from college. With allll the attitudes. Came home to visit and about three years down the line - said as the milk was being placed in the wonderful refrigerator for the prompt good, fresh, good milk date. "You know why I didn't sell drugs?"

"Probably because you have a soul and don't wish to be the author of ruined lives and children accidentally ingesting said drugs and dying and knowing all your life you sold drugs. Your parents would kill you. You aren't stupid. You grandmother would know. You'd have your picture in the paper. No jobs. And we told you all your life you were smart and made good decisions and were highly intelligent as well as Jesus follower."

The son replied as the light of the Refrigerator was still showing, "Yep that."

And the son continued, "But in the dorm, people sold pharmaceutical drugs and made a fortune. And I decided I would too."

The minister said only, "No."

The minister's son continued to be upbeat. "The problem with trying to sell pharmaceutical drugs is you have to really find a supplier. And I found a co-worker who told me she would give me Hydrocodone tablets from her broken ankle. She had a ton of them and she was allergic to them. I was meeting her at work about noon for the tablets that can be sold for $120 each."

The minister simply couldn't speak and was puzzled at the upbeat tone.

"So she was late and it got to be five in the afternoon.Finally, she came into work and with her were two uniformed police people. I ran to the break room. Immediately I began to cry, realizing you and my family and grandmother would find I'd sold DRUGS. Every good thing would be wiped out. I'd never be a person who didn't sell drugs again. I'd make the newspaper. Co workers would eventually recognize me. I'd never have a good job. Probably prison. I thought about what a real prison cell looks like. I realized I'd been arrogant to assume I'd never be caught. I wondered how she was caught. I cried really hard about being hauled out in handcuffs in front of all the entire office. I pictured calling home and getting the answering machine. And then I prayed and said, "Please God oh God Oh God. Please."


"In a few minutes, came to the break room and my co-worker smiled at me and handed me a ziplock bag with plenty of pills in them. I didn't want to take them from her because - of course - this was the fingerprint part. I growled at her I didn't want them now. She said ok sure, fine with her. My mouth fell open. She laughed and said the fuzz are my foster parents. We were going for dinner."



"I really couldn't talk. I had faced the worst part of my worst decision. And she left with the pills. And that is why I'm never going to sell drugs." The son continued. "I prayed and if I really thought about it in the "God vein," I'd have to say God let me live my decision and fall in my decision and not take the decision. God took it from me."







Every morning, I start my day praying for the people I love. God will take our faithless prayers. Our humbug Salmon prayers. The prayers we feel hit the ceiling and when we are sorry for being without all the faith we'd like to give Father God, He treats us as our Father.

God is good, because God is good.




Abba, Father God,

You are the Shepherd of our Soul. You Oversee our Lives. Your Path is where we want to be.

You are The Lord of Lords, God of All Creation and where we want to receive our Blessings.


Our Best Prayer - our Highest Prayer - our Earnest Prayer - 
We want to place our Beloved Ones in Your Heart. We want the Comforter and Teacher for them. God of Encouragement. Bless them.

Love is from God.


We pray The Prayer Jesus taught us to pray, always. Knowing You give us this day. You forgive us and Love us.


We would have Your Prayer embrace all of Your Good Creation. We would have the Heavens pour out a Blessing of more Heaven on earth. We would have the Light of all shine upon the Nations to trust more in You. We would bless our Nation with Living Water seeping and refreshing where You would place Your Love.

And in peace, joy and Love to know You answer prayers more than we can ask or imagine. You take and calm and give us joy.

Thanks be to You, Father God and Your Son, Jesus Christ.

 Alleluia. Amen.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
