Good morning, Loved Ones:

We made it! This morning is day seven of our seven day journey into the Lord’s Prayer. We have taken our time to break down all seven sentences of the New King James Version of Matthew 6:9-13, The Lord’s Prayer. 

Today, we focus on the second sentence of verse 13 and the final sentence of the prayer, “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

In this verse of The Lord’s Prayer, Jesus is speaking and teaching about the same manner in which the prayer began. The Lord’s prayer begins by giving glory to God and holiness of His name. The prayer ends by again confirming that there is none like our God Jehovah.

Some bible scholars say that no other translation of this last sentence are worded in this manner, except for the King James Version. In saying that, there are still passages in the bible that support and confirm the closing line of the prayer. Let’s look at 1 Chronicles 29:11.

1 Chronicles 29:11 

New King James Version (NKJV)

Today, rest in knowing that there truly is no one greater and no one like our God, Jehovah.

So, the next time you pray the Lord’s Prayer, think about this series that we just completed and pray the prayer with power and authority. End the prayer boldly with AMEN, because we come into agreement with all that we have said and ask God to let it be so. 

LET US PRAY…

Matthew 6:9-13

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁹ In this manner, therefore, pray:

Good morning, Redeemed Family:

This morning is day six of our seven day journey into the Lord’s Prayer. We will take our time to break down all seven sentences of the New King James Version of Matthew 6:9-13.

Today, we focus on the first sentence verse 13, “¹³ And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.”

In this verse of The Lord’s Prayer, Jesus is speaking and teaching about keeping our heart and mind free from what may cause us to pull away from the presence of God. Guard your heart. You are precious to God. 

This is what the Amplified Translation  Bible says about temptation and the enemy:

1 Peter 5:8-11 

Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁸ Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. ⁹ But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] ¹⁰ After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]. ¹¹ To Him be dominion (power, authority, sovereignty) forever and ever. Amen.

The bible also tells us how to stand our ground:

Ephesians 6:10-13 

Contemporary English Version (CEV)

The Fight against Evil

¹⁰ Finally, let the mighty strength of the Lord make you strong. ¹¹ Put on all the armor that God gives, so you can defend yourself against the devil’s tricks. ¹² We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world. ¹³ So put on all the armor that God gives. Then when that evil day comes, you will be able to defend yourself. And when the battle is over, you will still be standing firm.

Good morning, Family:

This morning is day five of our seven day journey into the Lord’s Prayer. We will take our time to break down all seven sentences of the New King James Version of Matthew 6:9-13.

Today, we focus on verse 12, “¹² And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.”

In this verse of The Lord’s Prayer, Jesus is speaking and teaching about forgiveness. Forgiveness is easy to say but very hard to do. The bible tells us the meaning of this scripture, if read we a little bit further in verses 14 and 15. I love the way The Message Bible interprets the scriptures:

Matthew 6:14-15 

The Message (MSG)

^14-15 “In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can’t get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God’s part.

To me that is powerful and absolutely clear. Dont ask God to do for you what you won’t do for someone else. Today, join me in asking God to give us a heart like His. May we be ever mindful of the words that God was speaking through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. 

Matthew 6:9-13

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁹ In this manner, therefore, pray:

Good morning, Family:

This morning is day four of our seven day journey into the Lord’s Prayer. We will take our time to break down all seven sentences of the New King James Version of Matthew 6:9-13.

Today, we focus on verse 11, “¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread.” 

In this verse of The Lord’s Prayer, Jesus is speaking and teaching about God in the character of a Provider, where we get Jehovah Jireh (The Lord Our Provider).

On the deeper level, Jesus understands that God, the Father, will provide us with more than just “bread.” God is the provider and supplier of everything that we need. So,  not only will God provide our daily bread, but He will also provide our daily peace, daily joy, daily healing, daily hope and so much more.

Jesus is just telling us not to worry about tomorrow or yesterday, but instead to be present TODAY.  God, The All Sufficient One, has everything handled. All we have to do is show up at The Table.

⁹ In this manner, therefore, pray:

Good morning, Loved Ones:

This morning is day three of our seven day journey into the Lord’s Prayer. We will take our time to break down all seven sentences of the New King James Version of Matthew 6:9-13.

Today, we focus on the second sentence of verse 10, “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.“

In this verse of the prayer, Jesus is speaking on how we should be in agreement and perfect alignment with the will of God. As Christians, we come to know and understand that God’s thoughts are higher and deeper than our thoughts and his ways are higher than our ways. In knowing that, it is our job to adjust ourselves with the sound and vibration of heaven so that we may know what God’s perfect will is, both for our lives individually and also corporately as the body of Christ.

Growing up, on Saturday mornings, I would hear music coming from our garage. My father would be playing music on this really old radio German Radio SABA Freudenstadt. The radio was a special one because it was able to tune into different frequencies from all over the world. Whenever the sound got fuzzy, due to interference, the tuning knob would have to be adjusted so that the sound would be clear. So it is with us tuning into the voice of God and the sound of heaven. 

We are asking God for His will to be done on the earth and in our lives, as it has been spoken and decreed in heaven. We are asking God for the ears to hear. Holy Spirit, speak to our heart so that we may hear the sound of heaven and the will of God. 

Pray for God’s perfect will to be done in your life. We must know and understand that however God asks us to “shift” that it is necessary. We may not understand, but it is not our job to understand. It is our job to obey. Amen?

Matthew 6:9-13

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁹ In this manner, therefore, pray:

Good morning, Beautiful Ones:

This morning begins day two of our seven day journey into the Lord’s Prayer. We will take our time to break down all seven sentences of the New King James Version of Matthew 6:9-13.

Today, we focus on the first sentence of verse 10, “Your kingdom come.”

In this verse of the prayer, Jesus is speaking of God’s Kingdom that must be made manifest on earth. Here is what Jesus said about God’s Kingdom:

Luke 17:20-21

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Coming of the Kingdom

²⁰ Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; ²¹ nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’  For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

We are the dwelling place for the Kingdom of God. We are God’s Holy Ambassadors. So when Jesus prays, “Your Kingdom come,” I truly believe the prayer is for the heart and mind of man to experience a personal as well as corporate transformation into nature and character of God. The Kingdom of God is already in you. Ask God to open the eyes of your heart so that you may truly see who He Is. 

Matthew 6:9-13

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁹ In this manner, therefore, pray:

Good morning, Family:

This morning begins a seven day journey into the Lord’s Prayer. We will take our time to break down all seven sentences of the New King James Version of Matthew 6:9-13.

Today, we begin with verse 9, “Our Father, in heaven, hallowed be Your name.“ In this verse of the prayer, Jesus is giving us the template of how we should approach God. Before we ask anything of or from God, we must give Him the glory that is due His name. The name of God is holy and reverent. God’s name is sacred and Jesus reminds us to never forget what matters the most. God’s name encompasses so much. There are so many names that God goes by, solely based on His charter. So remember, as you begin to pray the Lord’s prayer, take your time and genuinely address God’s Holy name.
