" Our Father. "

inspired by:

Matthew 6 : 9
Therefore pray in this way: Our Father, who is in Heaven,

Our Father fills the entire heavens with unspeakeable greatness!
And guess what, me, the little speck at the bottom has the same colour as the Father.
I am His, through the work of His Son Jesus Christ! The Father placed me in Christ His Son and that way gave me the privilege of being a member of His family, part-taker in His inheritance.
That's why I am allowed to call Him Father.

" Your Will "

inspired by:

Matthew 6 : 9 - 13
Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

In the Lords prayer Jesus reveals the real prayer-conditions hidden behind this seemingly standard petition prayer.
In a prophetic way He points in this word to the finished work of Himself and the prayer-benefits for those whom will be placed within Him.
They will be empowered to put in place, the things that heaven already has appointed into being.

" Your daily bread "

inspired by:

Matthew 6 : 9 - 13

Give us this day our daily bread.

Jesus reminds us not to worry about the daily things like clothing and feeding ourselves.
He has something more to offer then our normal daily bread: His Life!
Like the supernatural manna in the desert, it is here and now, today. That's why we need to reach for it daily, we can't store it, we can't get it in advance.
In fact what Christ is saying is: "Have faith, believe!
Believe that you have received My life and you shall experience the feeding purifying, supernatural power of it !

" Your Forgiveness "

inspired by:

Matthew 6 : 9 - 13
Our trespasses forgiven as we forgive...

Having received the new Life, we are able to forgive!
In not forgiving, we build a blocking wall between us and the ever Grace-full one, resulting in alienating ourselves from the Godly attributes like sharing in His nature and resting in Him.
By sacrificing self in forgiving the other, the Father in His Grace is able to put us again in the ever cleansing/restoring stream.

" Your Deliverance "

inspired by:

Matthew 6 : 9 - 13
deliver us from evil...

Finally we learn that we have been set free from an evil nature by being adopted into His nature, which enables us to walk away from the temptation that always seems to stalk us.
We are empowered to resist the outside-attacks of evil and by doing that, evil will flee from us.
The Lord's Prayer is Christ's teaching of a life of freedom in Him. A life received if we are in Him!
