Seven Profound Declarations

Posted by Terri Weir on Nov 8, 2011 in Durant Blog | 0 comments

Pastor Duane’s current series is ‘Lord, Teach us To Pray.’  Below are a few notes from last week’s message breaking down the Lord’s Prayer. 

This is how Jesus said we are to pray:

ONE: Our father which art in heaven…

Approach him as father… He is our heavenly father. This is family. The primary purpose of prayer is relationship and fellowship. ‘In heaven’ means above and over all.

TWO: Hallowed be your name.

May your name be honored… Jehovah is the Jewish national name of god; self existent one… he reveals himself in his name.

Some names of God:

Jireh – provider
Nissi – victor
Shalom – peace
Sidkinu – righteousness
Rapha – healer

Name above all names = Jesus. (Philippians 2:9-11)

THREE: Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

The kingdom is within you (Romans 14:17). The Holy Ghost is in you and me. We pray from our spirit into our minds for: Our marriages. Our finances. Our children. Our church.

FOUR: Give us this day our daily bread.

Be mindful on a daily basis of the provisions of God. Israel had to go out every day to collect the provisions of God. On the second day it was wormy. Don’t be a wormy Christian. Daily is the emphasis and key – daily relationship and fellowship. The just shall live by faith. We walk by faith and not by sight.

FIVE: and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

Unforgiveness is the number one hindrance to answers to our prayers. One thing: Forgive.

SIX: Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil

He HAS delivered… (Colossians 1:13)

SEVEN:  Thine is the kingdom, power and glory forever

Humility, proper focus and mindset…
