Part III: Scripture With References

Text: Matthew 6.9-13

(NKJV text) The MANNER of Prayer: Principle/Description

Our A personal relationship- I am His child. ( My needs- God is personal; He is concerned about me and my needs!)

Father A family relationship- He is my Father. (I can cry out to Him 'Daddy' - Abba)

Rom.8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."

Jesus had this kind of relationship. See also

Mk. 14:36 And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."

in heaven A humble, yet exalted, relationship- I pray from earth.

PS.113.4-6

Psalm 113:4-6 God humbles Himself to behold us or notice our prayers.

The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. [5] Who is like the LORD our God, Who dwells on high, [6] Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?

Application: Every prayer heard of God is an example of the humility display of God- for me when I dislike His call to me to be humble and receptive to His will for any issue of life.

Hallowed be Your name.

DT 6.5; HE 11.6, EX 3.14; DA 2.20; 1 PE 3.15

PR 3:5-6 Acknowledge Him in all your ways. The two basic ways to hallow God are 1B) to recognize His person- God's IDENTITY. The second is 2B) to recognize His Works - His ACTIVITY.

[personal application:] Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; [6] In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

PS 90.2

2C. Eternal (timeless, enduring) There never was time when God did not exist. He is Author of the experience we know as time and one day it will be no more. That is the essence of these scriptures:

[25] Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

[26] They will perish, but You will endure; Yes, they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You will change them, And they will be changed.

[27] But You are the same, And Your years will have no end.

[28] The children of Your servants will continue, And their descendants will be established before You."

Psalm 39:4-5

"Lord, make me to know my end, And what is the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am.

[5] Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah.

God's changelessness is the basis of all His other attributes. Changeless God; changeless counsel; impossible to lie!

JN 4.24

4C. Simple (understandable-enough to worship)

John 4:24

God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

The Samaritan woman already was worshiping in spirit, but apparently from the context, she was not doing it according to truth- God's true standard. Jesus implies that she could worship according to truth.

DT 4.39; 6.4

5C. Unified (solitary, undivided)

Deut. 4:39

Romans 9:20-21

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.

[10] Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, 'My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,'

[11] Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man who executes My counsel, from a far country. Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it.

1 Thes. 3:10

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

work= 1)to work, labour, do work; 2)to trade, to make gains by trading, "do business", all of which require planning. Just as God plans well, He expects the same of man - yet He then expects man to surrender those well laid plans to change by His sovereign design.

[personal application:] Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; [6] In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

If God is sovereign, then I cannot suffer harm by trusting Him, and making Him sovereign over all. I can be sure He'll guide me aright.

1 JN 4.10

11C. Loving (One who seeks the best)

1 John 4:10

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

[personal application:] Show unconditional and self-less love toward others, and self, just like He did and now does!

JUDE 21,24; God gives His mercy or His own joy [J.I. Packer, Knowing God]- He is an emotional God, and we are made emotionally in His image!

MI 6.8; LK 6.36

1D. Mercy (Withholds Judgment) excellent suggestion: mercies word-study.

Jude 1:21,24

keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

Micah 6:8

He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

A very significant OT word= checed, Hebrew 2617 kheh'-sed; from Hebrew 2616 (chacad); kindness; by implication (towards God) piety; rarely (by opposition) reproof, or (subjective) beauty :- favour, good deed (-liness, -ness), kindly, (loving-) kindness, merciful (kindness), mercy, pity, reproach...

NT word= eleeo, Greek 1653, el-eh-eh'-o; from Greek 1656 (eleos); to compassionate (by word or deed, specially by divine grace) :- have compassion (pity on), have (obtain, receive, shew) mercy (on).

Mercy is distinguished from grace [unmerited favor] by the definition un-received judgment that ought to have been administered.

God's nature is full of grace 1 Peter 5:10

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Grace is defined in the Greek as:

1- charis, khar'-ece, Greek 5485; from Greek 5463 (chairo); graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal, figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude) :- acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace (-ious), joy, liberality, pleasure, thank (-s, -worthy).

2- chairo, khah'ee-ro, Greek 5463; a primary verb; to be "cheer"ful, i.e. calmly happy or well-off; impersonal especially as salutation (on meeting or parting), be well:- farewell, be glad, God speed, greeting, hail, joy (-fully), rejoice.

Grace is a throne, It can reign as a Sovereign, or King!

Hebrews 4:16

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Rom 3:24

being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

1 JN 1.5; PS 99
14C. Holy (one separate from all other)

1 John 1:5

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

God's holiness is His separateness from all aspects of His creation. He is [to be] set apart, especially for worship.

Psalm 99:1-9

The Lord reigns; Let the peoples tremble! He dwells between the cherubim; Let the earth be moved!

[2] The Lord is great in Zion, And He is high above all the peoples.

[3] Let them praise Your great and awesome name- He is holy.

[4] The King's strength also loves justice; You have established equity; You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

[5] Exalt the Lord our God, And worship at His footstool- He is holy.

[6] Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was among those who called upon His name; They called upon the Lord, and He answered them.

[7] He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar; They kept His testimonies and the ordinance He gave them.

[8] You answered them, O Lord our God You were to them God-Who-Forgives*, Though You took vengeance on their deeds.

[9] Exalt the Lord our God, And worship at His holy hill; For the Lord our God is holy.

*God forgiveness (vs.8) is the highest contrast to be made with His holiness.

2B. WHAT YOU DO - You give me .

3D. Preparation (training through affliction)

Psalm 119:75 I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right, And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

God enables His servant to do His will (3A,2E above as well). Affliction 1)v.75 is good for me; 2)v.92 will cause me to perish if I do not delight in God's law; 3)v. 67, keeps me from going astray!; 4)v. 71, causes me to learn God's law, 5)reveals whether or not I keep God's law .(see 4D below)

[92] Unless Your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction.

[67] Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word.

[71] It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes.

Cry out (in prayer) to God for help in failure to attain God expectations in life.

Deut. 8:2

And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

Exodus 20:20

And Moses said to the people, "Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin."

When God gives commands, and we hear truth, we should realize He will check to see if we are really going to prosper by obeying them.

JOS 3.7

6D. Friendship (fellowship)

1 John 1:7

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Matthew 5:16

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Romans 15:6

that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Work I do has the unbelievable possibility of glorifying the God of Eternity- the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Paul call to become a minister enabled the Gentiles (me) to be accepted of God.

People will be in heaven because I am obedient to the call of God!

Romans 15:8-9

Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers, [9] and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name."

Daniel 7:27

Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.'

A kingdom is certain to come and fulfill God's promise to the Jewish people specifically, and in addition, to the whole church inclusively! I am part of that great kingdom through faith in the Son of God!

Daniel 2:44

And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

Psalm 103:19

The LORD has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.

I ought to "press" to prepare to enter into it ( "The upward call!" ),  that is, to see it fully come. There is a reward awaiting me in heaven.

Philip. 3:14

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

I am to wait for it to come as a servant waits for His Master, ready to open immediately when He comes.

Luke 12.35 - 37

"Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; 36 "and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 37 "Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.

1B. SALVATION - Your rule and reign might come into the lives of each one who does not know You.

My salvation date/ experience: Explain your Christian Salvation Experience here. Even though it is referred to as "the day of salvation" (2 Cor 6.2) you might not be able to remember the exact day, which is not as important as remembering the "experience."

Genesis 2:18, 24

And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 7 For I wish that all men were even as I myself.

Matthew 19:3-12

The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?" [4] And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,' [5] and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? [6] So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate." [7] They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?" [8] He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. [9] And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." [10] His disciples said to Him, "If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry."

[11] But He said to them, "All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: [12] For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it."

Be diligent to present [study to show, AV] yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

[Personal application: Many interpretations of Scripture made by people are not necessarily righteous in God's eyes, and thus incorrectly believed as binding to themselves or others they would apply it to, and also for me to apply to myself or me toward others.]

Cease listening to instruction, my son, And you will stray from the words of knowledge.

1CO 12;RO12;EP4;1PE4
3C. MINISTRY (Spiritual gift) Put your spiritual ministries here.

1 Cor. 12:5-11

There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. [6] And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. [7] But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: [8] for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, [9] to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, [10] to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. [11] But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

Sign gifts: healings, miracle working, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues; were all given temporarily to NT disciples and believers just after the ascension to affirm it's validity. Thereafter, they were not needed.

Romans 12:1-8

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

[3] For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. [4] For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, [5] so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. [6] Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; [7] or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; [8] he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Ephes. 4:1-16

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, [2] with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, [3] endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. [4] There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; [5] one Lord, one faith, one baptism; [6] one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

[7] But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. [8] Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men." [9] (Now this, "He ascended"- what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? [10] He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) [11] And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, [12] for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, [13] till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; [14] that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, [15] but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head- Christ- [16] from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

1 Peter 4:10-11

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. [11] If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

[8] The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. [9] And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. [15] Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

Proverbs 14:23

In all labor there is profit, But idle chatter leads only to poverty.

2 Thes. 3:10

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.
