The Lord’s Prayer

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied.

Thank you Father! We bless your holy name! We thank you for this day, Father. It’s a beautiful day here in Texas. We thank you Father for the rain we just had. We thank you for your goodness. We thank you for your mercy, Amen. I just pray now for everyone reading this message, I pray Father that you would bless our hearts; open our hearts to hear what you are saying; to receive what the Spirit of the Lord is saying. Amen, Father, in Jesus’ name. Today we’re going to speak about The Lord’s Prayer. So let’s start. Mat 6:5, And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father who is 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 forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Our Father who is in Heaven: if you are in Jesus Christ, through faith in His sacrifice, then you are a son or a daughter of God, and He is your Father. 1 John 3:1,  Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the sons of God! Gal 4:6, And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, Abba, Father! If you are in Christ, then He is in you, and you are seated with Him in Heaven at the Father’s right hand. The Father is in you, and you are in Him: no more a servant or a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 1 John 3:2, 

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. 

Mat 6:9,...Hallowed be Your name. His name is holy! Verse 10, Your kingdom come... It is His Kingdom; He is a great King! Mal 1:14, But cursed be the deceiver who has in his flock a male, and takes a vow, but sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished—For I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and My name is to be feared among the nations. Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. May your Kingdom come, Father, and may your will be done in the Earth, as it is in Heaven. This is what we are praying for: the Father’s Kingdom on the Earth. The Kingdom is the Father’s. And because His Son Jesus Christ humbled Himself to obey His Father to come to Earth and to do His will and die on the Cross for our sins, He has highly exalted Him, and given Him a name above every name that is named, in Heaven, in the Earth, and under the Earth, that at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah Father! We just worship You right now! Glory and honor and majesty and power be unto you Father, and unto your holy name forever! The Father has appointed His Son Jesus to be King, in His name, over all the Earth. His throne will soon be established in Jerusalem, and He will reign as a King and a Priest over all the Earth upon His throne, until all His enemies are put under His feet. For He must reign until He has put all enemies under His feet. Praise God! 

Mat 6:11, Give us this day our daily bread. Jesus said, Ask, and you shall receive. Mat 6:25, …do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 

Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 

and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 

Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear? 

For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. The Scripture says, He that seeks after righteousness shall be filled. 

Mat 6:12, And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. The word “debts” is sins or trespasses. Verse 14, For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. It is the Father who forgives sins. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

1 John 2:1, …and if any man sins we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.  And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.  God the Father loves us so much that He gave His beloved Son Jesus to suffer upon the Cross and die for our sins, that we might receive forgiveness of sins through repentance and faith in Him, and that we might inherit eternal life in Him. But if we will not forgive; if there is any person, anyone, who we will not forgive, no matter what they have done to us, then our Father in Heaven will not forgive our sins. If we are not forgiven, then we are separated from the Father; we cannot enter into His Kingdom. Remember: Jesus suffered the full penalty upon His body for all our sins, all of them, upon the Cross. No matter how bad it was, He took it upon Himself, that we might be forgiven. When we refuse to forgive and have mercy upon another person, we cut ourselves off from God’s mercy and forgiveness in our lives. If God has forgiven you, with all that you have done, through the sacrifice of His own Son, who are you to refuse to forgive someone else, no matter what they have done? 

You say, “I can’t forgive them! You don’t know what they did to me, or to my loved one!” 

God knows what they did, and if they would repent to Him, He would forgive them, because of what Jesus did.  Forgive them! You say, “I can’t!” I’m here to tell you you can: He will help you, if you will ask Him. Ask Him, “Father, you know I can’t forgive this person, but I am willing to do it if you will help me.”  If you are sincere, He will help you! Reach out to them in forgiveness; He will be with you. 

Mat 6:13, And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil… 1 Cor 10:13, No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. God led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil; Jesus overcame in every temptation by speaking the Word of God to the devil by the Holy Spirit: the sword of the Spirit. We need to pray this in faith: that God will not lead us into temptation. However, when we are tempted,  

God is faithful, and we can escape the temptation by trusting Him and speaking His Word by the Holy Spirit in the situation. The Apostle James said, Blessed is the man that endures temptation, for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to them that love Him. If we will love Him and trust Him and keep His Word in the situation, we will be able to endure and to overcome the evil. James said, Every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. That’s why Jesus said that we should pray to the Father, Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. As we continue in the Word of God, with the Holy Spirit teaching us, and leading us into all truth, as we know the truth, more and more, Jesus will be setting us free, more and more, from the evil that is in us, and we will be purified through what we endure, trusting in the Father, who loves us so much that He gave His Son for us, and He will help us to overcome. Col 1:13, He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. That’s how we are forgiven!: through the sacrifice of His Son; through His shed Blood. For God made Him who knew no sin to become sin on our behalf, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

Mat 6:13, …For Yours is the kingdom…  The Kingdom is the Father’s Kingdom. …and the power… He has all power! No one can stay His hand, or say to Him, What are you doing? He created all things with His Word and His power! …and the glory… All the glory is His! All the Earth shall be filled with His glory! He alone is worthy of all glory and honor and praise! Rev 4:11, You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created!

Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen!
