Our Father is Sovereign and Holy
Because He lives I can face tomorrow. All fear is gone. Because I know He holds my future. My life is His. My life is worth the living just because He lives!
We trust God.
We have been created to live out our lives in His agape love.
Joel Muddamalle
Because You live we have hope.
More prayers are sent up on Sunday than any other day of the week. Why? What is it about those times when we experience heartbreak that our reaction is we need prayer.
What is it about our natural compulsion to reach out in prayer?
Because prayer is a God thing. It is embedded in our DNA. In a health crisis it does not seem to matter if we or others are believers on non believers we offer up prayer!
Good vibes do not mean anything…God alone can change the situation.
Jesus took on humanity. He did not lose any of His deity.
Jesus answered the questions of His apostles by asking them a question. Jesus understands we have to learn something by knowing the way…in prayer.
Matthew 6:
9 In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
We come to Him in humbleness, as little children, as Daddy and in our intimacy He hears us. We are praying to a good Father. Our Father abides in heaven, in His Kingdom, we realize our relationship with Him. He is the One who loves us and cares for us. We are made in His image. We honor His name. He is set apart from us and holy. He is not like our earthly fathers and subject to change. He is sovereign and holy. We seek His will not our own. We want His will to be carried out here on earth. It is His right to be obeyed. It His power that carries out His will according to His purpose in Christ. To bring all things together in His will. Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father and through Him all things were made. We live and breath in Him.
The troubles of this world exist because we have rejected Jesus…the Word made flesh.
Jesus saw it fit to leave Kingdom to save humanity. Christ in us is the hope of God’s glory revealed in mankind.
The Christian hope is not escapist. The hope we have in Christ is the assurance of the renewal and re-creation of all things on earth as it is in Heaven.
This reality is shown in us, In our deeds and actions. So that through our good deeds others are drawn to Him. Without Jesus we are in a totally dark room not being able to see any exit. God desires for all people to reach out to the light He gifts us in Jesus. He alone is the light of the world. Others meet Jesus in His believers.
God has determined our whole life where we can do the most good…letting others know that Jesus Christ is here. In the midst of our pain and hardships and our lack of control in the situation, we call out to our Father. He allows us to use that experience to help others.
When we are at our weakest… We allow His strength to work in us.
