Praying Heaven down - Mathew 6:9-13 Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name. The title Father is a title of honor and a call to relationship. What he did to make it possible for us to call Him our Father is all one needs to see to begin to become a true worshiper. Hallowed means respected or revered. This to is an expression of praise. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. This is the primary focus for all prayer-if it exists in Heaven, it is to be loosed on earth. Through prayer we are to exercise the authority given to us. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven. Heaven is our model. Give us our daily bread. Is anyone starving in heaven? Of course not. This request is a practical application of how His dominion should be seen here on earth-abundant supply. Heavens resources are to affect us here and now. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Is there any unforgivness in Heaven ? No ! Heaven provides the model for our relationships here on earth. And be kind to one another; tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. Our model is Jesus Christ. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. There is no temptation or sin in Heaven. This kind of praying is important because it requires us to face our need for grace. It helps us align our heart with Heaven-one of absolute dependancy on God. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. The kingdom of God is His possession, which is why He alone can give it to us. Once again this prayer has two main objectives: (1) To Minister to God out of an intimate personal relationship: and (2) bring the reality of His rulership (the Kingdom) to earth. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
