Essence of Prayer

(Delivered on 1-29- (2021)


Opening Prayer Text from:

The LORD’s Prayer

Mat 6:7-15

Lord’s Prayer

 Matthew 6:7-15

 

  When ye pray,  use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:

for they think that they shall be heard

for their much speaking.

  Be not ye therefore like unto them:

for your Father knoweth

what things ye have need of,

before ye ask him.

After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.   

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done

in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory, forever.

Amen.

  For if ye forgive men their trespasses,

your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

 

 

Rom_8:24  For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

Rom 8:25  But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Rom 8:26  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Rom 8:27  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Rom 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Rom 8:29  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Rom 8:30  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Rom 8:31  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Rom 8:32  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Rom 8:33  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

Rom 8:34  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Rom 8:35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Rom 8:36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Rom 8:37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Rom 8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Rom 8:39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

 

Today, as we beginning to exit this first Month, I have chosen to bring forth a message which I have had in waiting in my mind, but have arranged only recently for what I hope is for your edification, and that is the  Essence of Prayer .

The Doctrine of Christian pray is a subject that is often taken as granted, because we clearly have already been taught in Roman’s that if we have the Spirit of God by the work of regeneration, that is the pouring out of the Spirit into heart which is accomplished by the work of God, then we should have access to true prayer, and that is true. But as we read in the scriptures, even the disciples and apostles of our Lord, which he had chosen face to face as well as had chosen snce the foundations of the world as he does with all saints, said to Jesus

Luk_11:1 …as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased… Lord, teach us to pray…

Now I believe that Mat 6:9 and here are two different accounts of this question asked by the disciples, and there are different elements which our Lord forwards in both texts, and that is what we see in the surrounding contexts but the core prayer and elements of the pattern of Prayer are the same:

 

Luk 11:2  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

Luk 11:3  Give us day by day our daily bread.

Luk 11:4  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

While in Mat 6 the contrast of the heathen and the saint is in scope, teaching that much words or loud words before men are not needed because you heavenly Father know everything you ask before you ask it, like wise Christ forwards the honesty of prayer before God, in that if our desire forgiveness and granted petition you must realize you must forgive and you must grant petition to those who seek it of you.

where as in the context of Luke 11 Jesus shows an example of a 2 friends one is in bed, it is late and the other has a traveler come to visit after hours and needs bread to feed the visitor and knocks of the door of his sleeping friend and although he is a sleep and would rather not the insistence of his friend wills him to  rise and give him as many loaves as he needeth.

A thing often over looked is that the friend needing bread is desiring to serve the traveler, not himself, that is in accordance with biblical  hospitality which is the will of God this man begs his friend to furnish him with the ability to provide hospitality according to God’s will.

Also he says

Luk_11:11  If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Luk 11:12  Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

Luk 11:13  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

 

Since the fall of man a form of communication with the Lord has been lost, in that man no longer communicates with God as clearly as he once had, in the book of Genesis we hear the voice of the Godhead say:

Gen 2:18  ….It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

 

Gen_2:23  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

 

But this is not what hear of in Romans 8, and this is not what is available to all Christians in communication.

And for the reasons the LORD has chosen, He had decided that it is better for man to seek after the Lord by prayer and supplication rather than have open communication as we see between Adam and the LORD or as we see between God and particular holy or selected out prophets.

 

But yet, even when see that a prophet (Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah or Daniel) can communicate with God at times, that prophet nevertheless utilize the same prayer as we have access to at other times.

 

We should be a people that are familiar with the way in which YHWH desires us to pray, in this way while we may not have knowledge of all that we need as the Spirit intercedes for us, we should nevertheless be a people who understand how Almighty God wants us to prayer and come before him in supplication and petition, to have the mind he desires us to have before his throne.

 

Now in our usual reader, the KJV, we will often read the phrase ‘I pray thee’ and while this is a biblical way in which God is some time entreated, it descriptive of interacting with one we beg from more than it is describing the act we are engaged in, for instance:

David says:

Psa_119:76  Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

About JS Lowther

Foremost I know that I am a chief sinner saved by Grace. I am a servant of YHWH Almighty the one true God Who is Father, Son and Spirit. I believe in God's only begotten and perfect Son Jesu(s) Christ whose redemption power of my soul I have Faith in and testify of. Having been redeemed by the blood of Christ, I wish to no longer spend my time in the lusts of the flesh and of this world, but to promote the Gospel of the Kingdom by means of the knowledge of the New Covenant, a reNewal of the Covenant God made with his people Israel in the blood of Christ (Jer 31:31 and Heb 8:8) whereby He writes His Law upon the Heart and Mind beside the forgiveness of sin and transgressions. I believe Christ Jesus is the incarnate Son of God as the WORD made flesh, and the son of man born of the virgin Mary conceived of the Holy Spirit: I believe Christ Jesus Lived a perfect life for us as a living sacrifice as well as a pattern of the Sanctified newness of life a believer has in Him, I believe Christ Jesus died a cursed death on the Cross for His people of Covenant who are sinners, and I believe in Christ Jesus who Resurrected with power from Death from the grave to Justify the offenders. This is the same Jesus who is indeed the Son of David and king of Israel, who is both LORD and Christ over all the kings and dominions of the earth! In the fullness of time YHWH will regather his people under the Head of the Church, Jesu(s) Christ to affect his will according to the Lord's prayer, Psalm 2, 8 and 110 as well as Genesis 1:26. The focus of my administration of the Gospel is like unto my Lord's who said "I have come not but for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.."(Mathew 15:24), and so I have come to my European kinsman according to the flesh. It is my mission to show the Israel of God the Salvation which is taught by Scripture Alone and offered in all ages by Grace Alone through Faith Alone in the work of Christ Alone to the Glory of GOD Alone. As a modern day Puritan separatist it is my goal to purify the church of Christ with Faith heretofore stated. I am studying to show my self approved, if you have any questions just ask!
