The Lord's Principle of Prayer (Part 2) E-mail

"Who art in heaven" This is a given knowledge, of where your petition is being heard. He Who sits in the heavens [Ps. 2:4a], is He Who resides in His kingdom and sits upon His throne. He is also the One who has sent His Son to redeem us and we are now not our own, but we are His property (1st Corinthians 6:19-20). He rules and reigns over the universe from His eternally divine position.

"Hallowed be Thy Name", now you are really at the part that could be labeled worship, which we all should move into as we go into prayer, We are calling on the Almighty God and We are first acknowledging His holiness ('hallowed'); What an awesome thought. When Moses met Him at the burning bush (the hallowed ground), he asked Him, Who should tell them that I AM is sending you. Paul wrote of Jesus in Phillipians that God had highly exalted Him and had given Him a Name that is higher than any other, that at the Name of Jesus every knee must bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God. As we go back into the Old Testament we find many of the compound Names of God: Jehovah Nissi - Strength - Jeovah Rohi - Shepherd - Jehovah Shalom - Peace - Jehovah Rapha - Healer - Jeovah Jireh - Provider - Jehovah Tsidkenu - Righteousness - Jehovah Makkaddesh - Sanctification.There are many others that your study will reveal, but Names to the Hebrew man or woman of that day revealed the character of God. His character is much broader, but that is to be found in further study. But in Jesus, all these character virtues are present, because He was born the Godhead incarnate. In the AmplifiedBible, in John 14, 15, and 16 you will find bracketed behind the phrase, "In my Name" the words [presenting all that I AM]. He is the fullness of the Godhead and so as you use His Name in prayer you are calling on and expressing all that God is. (Read Acts 4:12)

"Thy Kingdom come..." You have entered, through your born again experience, the kingdom of God. It is the dimension that embodies the way God does things. You are to call into this earth realm, by prayer to God, His kingdom answer to every need. Jesus said that it should be in the earth the same as it is in heaven. What you are in reality asking, is that the Father not only send kingdom of God to the earth, but send the revelation into our hearts as well, so that we can alter our lives' thinking accordingly, now add the rest of the verse;

"Thy will be done ... in the earth as it is in heaven". How is it in heaven? It's liberty in Christ Jesus, free of illness and affliction, free of lack and poverty, and free of all oppression and the strength of the Almighty expressed though your weakness as was Paul's, in 2 Corinthians 12 where God said that His strength and power are made perfect and show themselves most effective in our weakness. The Supernatural expressing Himself in the natural. Remember, that His word is His will, so study to show yourselves approved (2 Timothy 2:15), and your prayer life will take on the power of His answers. Find in the Word, scriptures that apply to your requests and pray those scriptures as prayer. There are several verses in the Old Testament that address this powerfully.
