alright, so Just a few housekeeping items here.

Except for myself, of course. Just so we just make sure we keep on audio and video is muted.

I will have a question section that will stop at but if something comes up to it's in your heart, just just just go ahead and and and Chimay I don't mind and I'm going to be recording this one. I finally had the time and we got all the bugs worked out. So this is going to be a lot smoother. Got a brand new laptop, everything is going right. So little, like we can finally move forward and this recorded in the end, if you can't get all the notes on the slides, don't worry about it because I will send you a link that you can not not today. I didn't wax you know, it is on here since Twas the end, I'm sorry. I did put a link on here where you you can go to the site and you could be able to pull the the presentation file and any other resources that I have that I did. I put in that file is just for you all.

and please, you know, if you if you know anybody

Anybody who feel? Feel like, you know, they prayer life. Their relationship with God with crisis, could be better in a relationship or how they communicate with the father-son. Can be better. If they feel like They just don't know. Quite how to pray even feel like I know how to pray, but I feel like my prayer is maybe not being heard of, or

I feel like my prayer needs more power. We talked about at the end of the lesson last week, we had a good discussion with Belinda and Sister Barbara, what was talking about Prayer and how some, you know, some people will. Is there in a group setting will push for other people to pray and instead of them friend, all day, if they have a fear of a prayer, are they kind of Envy someone else to think, like, wild it that person prayers are powerful? Because they listened to the words and thought I might sound eloquently may not sound like that, they stammering and trying to find words to say. But That, that comes from.

Some people, it comes from that relationship. Just years and hours of just spending that time and prayer just being so comfortable. That is just like breathing. and, And the more you commune with God the better you get at it. The better your relationship is it just like anybody? You may know you think about when you first start dating someone that

the communication.

It's pretty good. You know, you kind of you trying to be a little careful about what you say putting your best foot forward but then that's time. Go on. You really start being honest, you ready to start sharing those deep things is going on, you know. But with God, we don't have, we don't have to hide anything from him. We could just be straight straightforward with him. So, so,

in the first second less than what we talked about was who we were, who we are, and why we pray and

Last week. I have some technical problems, so my slides were up but we we went over the first part of blueprint of prayer but I think I believe I did mention everybody that that we were going to that I was going to go back over this and and and I kind of decided to I planned on just being in my eight lessons but if if I'm teaching and I can't Gift of the holy spirit is telling me to slow down and not go so fast. And I have to extend it a extra week that that I'm just going to I'm just going to be obedient to the holy spirit cuz he's the one that's teaching that's all. I'm just I'm just being a vessel of his so so, what we what we're looking at is that we have of we have two scriptures set of scriptures out of Matthew 6 and out of Luke 11, which both of those books mention Jesus, it's Jesus teaching his disciples to give instructions to his disciples about prayer and how to pray Dumb one. And only only major differences between Matthew and Luke is in Matthew. He in T ends it with Dallas, the kingdom of power, and the glory forever. Amen. As in Luke, she stopped right after

To Deliver us from evil. The evil one. And I'll Deliver Us from Evil, and it stopped there.

We have to remember that some people have. Some people try to disprove the Bible said and contradiction. Why is it not all saying the same thing? We have to remember that. These were accounts that These were accounts that were giving our eyewitness and they were recorded. And then we had hundreds of years, the past, by, in several translations, that it had to go through. So, sometimes some things are Lost in Translation. Some things are

Some things are lost in translation. Thank you. Some things are Lost in Translation and some things we have to buy the Holy Spirit, we have to dig through the scriptures to be able to two pieces together.

This is why a teacher, a teacher is so important why Paul talked about in the 5-fold ministry that he mentioned a teacher as being one of the five ministers, you know, it all and in the the Apostle the Evangelist Prophet pastor and teacher of the whole purpose of that five-fold Ministry is to empower the Saints. So That's one of the jobs God is giving me is to try to help piece these things together and make it more clear.

Food for all of us. So, Is not that it's not. That Matthew says, something different said something different and Luke. That's just like if he has an accident outside and we all standing out there, then the police officer coming asked all of us. We're going to describe it based on our angle based on my insight, they say experience, Luke. Luke was a physician I believe Matthew was a tax collector, I believe. So you know, different different points of view, but same word call still same old, same God's work. Okay. So I'm using Luke. As I as a text that we, that we will be talkin about the the blueprint. So And his prayer. It says that then. He Jesus was praying in a certain place and when he stopped one of his disciples said to him, Lord teach us to pray. This is John taught his disciples.

and he said to them, when you pray,

Say, our father who is in heaven?

Hallowed be your name.

Your kingdom come, it will be done a hell, holy and revered on Earth as it is in heaven, okay? Give us daily. I bread food for tomorrow. I forgive us our sins for we ourselves. Also, forgive everyone who is in-depth it to us, who has offended us or done is wrong. And bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from evil. And that's where it look where he ended. So if we go back,

How late is green? Teach us to pray.

All right. To teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples. Jovie will understand that what they did. They observe Christ. price was in a certain place place friend when he stopped praying, then They asked me, they observe him friend. They asked him, it'll teach us how to pray like that, you know, like I was saying earlier that a lot of us hear other people pray and we like move mad at 4. They prayed it pretty good. Pray with power.

What's funny? I don't think any of us if who was at a infant stayed in my life and we heard other people, pray and I can't remember ever going to somebody's. Hey, teach teach me how you pray like that. Teach teach me how to pray like that but these disciples did you know, if It also.

In Matthew 6:9.

Jesus said that after this manner, therefore pray.

At the beginning, the after this manner, therefore Pray, when he was, he was explaining to them, what not to do in prayer, don't do this. Don't do that. Do this, do this, instead, it is a after this matter, after this manner. Therefore pray. So he's he's given he's giving us A outline. Yes, it is a prayer, the Lord's, The Lord's Prayer is a prayer. It is a prayer that's that if somebody pray, it spread from memory,

Whip whip with thoughtfulness. Not just just saying it is a repetition, but saying it from the heart, with every word that's being said that. Yes it is is it's prayer, but it it goes deeper than that. It goes a lot deeper than that. There are stairs to Greek words. Logos and Rhema and receive People Raymond several churches called Rhema Bible has to Rhema. Gospel church or whatever, you know. But low guys. Is the written word. This is the word that's been written. A letter is low guys. Rhema is the is the Revelation. It is like the between the lines is to is, is the Revelation that we get from the holy spirit? Is that It's the aha moment when you when you read any studying in the rain description all sudden just some is almost like some drops in your in your mouth. I knew you like like some understanding and it is not that is written as like some understanding come there and everything links together, everything finally make sense, that's that's that Rhema moment, you know and The saying that I have is read the low, guys. but pray for the Rhema, you know, we read the word what we're reading but which we should seek to understand and have a deeper and and get a deeper understanding of

Damn it. Let me let me read child.

cuz one thing they didn't get fixed yet as his on-screen Bible where I can't

Put a scripture up as it comes to me, so I'm just going to have to I'm just glad to read it to you. but Paul is 1st Corinthians 2 and Irene an amplified inverse some

Let me see.

It's kind of hard to cut it. Okay, let me just start in verse 5. So you say is that so that you're going to have to back up? Okay, let me let me just cuz I don't want to give you all too much, but I'm going to have to sort of makes sense. But in verse for, he said, Paul says in my message and my preacher we're not in persuasive, words of wisdom, using clever rhetoric. That he's talkin about Logan, he's talking about like like when you see somebody that's very very educated, they have a lot of book knowledge and they can spit out every word and every word in vocabulary word around it kind of reminds me of cousin of mine. I'm not going to say his name just in case he ever listens to this or somebody telling. But But he said, he read this book about how to sound intelligent and it was like these big long words. Now, I mean, these, these words man was like, I even know these words in the dictionary, but these are like like three, four, five syllable words, you know, he was just talking to him and he's saying all these big long words and I'm looking at them, like, What, what did you say? You know he's telling me, but It is like all it was just a word, it had no power behind. It was just word it. Oh, it just okay. It just make you sound, make you some important and that's what Paul was said here. Is my message and my preacher. We're not in persuasive. Words of wisdom, using clever rhetoric, but they were delivered in demonstration of the Holy Spirit operating through me. and of his power of the Holy Spirit power steering, the minds of the listeners and persuading them so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom in rhetoric of men, but on the power of God, Yet we do speak wisdom among those spiritually mature. Believers who have teachable hearts and a greater understanding, that is so important. you know what I love about my friend Belinda being here is that she she's a minister and she, she has been A soldier of Christ a lot longer than me but she is still take the time to come in and tear into to learn because she has a teachable, heart, teachable Spirit the same thing for Anthony. A lot of things Anthony and I talked about it, he teaches me things but he's here because of a year as a teachable spirit. And I and that's that's part of being a spiritually mature. Just having it a teachable heart. So he says, but it is a higher wisdom, not the wisdom of this present age, know of the rulers and of the leaders of this age who are passing away, but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom, once hidden from man. But now revealed to us by God, the wisdom of God, predestined before the ages to our glory to lift us into the glory of his presence. None of the rulers of it of this age recognize or understand his wisdom for if they had. They would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. So we move 2 verse 10. It says for God has unbilled them and reveal them to us through the holy spirit for the spirit searches all things diligently, even sounding and measuring and profound depths of God. The Divine counseling things far beyond, human understanding for what person knows the thoughts and motifs of a man, except the man Spirit within him. So what were you saying, is that the Holy Spirit? Is the spirit of God. So, if you want to truly know the thoughts of a person that, you know, they spirit and that's what he saying. So the Holy Spirit, living in the shares those d. Impersonal things that's been hidden from the world. So just because they going read the scripture, they going read, Matthew 6, it going read Luke's 11 and they read the Lord's Prayer. They read it as just that, but the Holy Spirit has revealed to us. That is a lot more meat on that bone. So this is what Paul, this is what Paul was telling us. So then we get to verse 14 and I stopped, he says, but the natural unbelieving, man does not accept the things. The teachings in Revelations of the spirit of God, but they are foolishness absurd, and illogical to him. And he is incapable of understanding them because they are spiritually discerned. And appreciated spiritually discerned.

Spiritually discerned. It has to be revealed by the spirit. if he is unqualified to judge spiritual matters, Talkin about the unlearned and fleshly mind a man. So okay Adrian, why you bring all that up by you tell us on it. But what I'm trying to show in the scriptures is that This. Sirius subscription is, is more. Then what we have looked at and maybe some people have talked in the past as just the Lord's Prayer. So we got that we going to really 12in into it and you will see and That give the reference is, it's a brother, a man of God named Larry Les and I gave his reference material at the end of this. And he's not the only one but his book is is like one of those popular books talk. Call in in Bible colleges and seminaries and my my pastor of my wife still called my pastor Brother, David keep talk. This and expose me to this teachings long time ago and it's other people other ministers that have coming to this understanding that this this this prayer that Jesus gave was was an actual blueprint and instruction on a on a deeper level of understanding to so, When Jesus said, when they asked to teach me and after this manner, he told him to pray. Jesus was teaching his disciples outline, a model and a structure of Prayer. He was trying to. Teach them to learn to stay within a spit of spiritual boundaries of prayer because sometime we can go outside. A prayer. It becomes unfruitful. We can stop it. We can start Gordon to, you know, it's been a been, some TV shows that kind of joked about it, but think about like like some some sick cuz we have watched Martin different things like that. That was the family was getting ready to pray and it was one person Fred. He was like it ain't they all say things like a lord. I know my brother standing over there and knowing knowing that he owe me $50 but you got the nerve to be coming up in here and eat dinner. What I give me hear, it's like they said, they go outside the boundaries of Europe, read about things that that is unfruitful and God, the God is not going to honor, he's not going to have no part in it. So this this this Did the prayer The Lord's Prayer? It helps us to stay in stay in bounds and not go out of bounds by by giving us a structure. For a prayer life.

Jesus was always. They're talkin about the disciples, he was always there and I will perfect example. He left his he left his glory. On the throne. It came down in the flesh. And walk this man.

It was empowered by the Holy Spirit without measure. Just like we are in power with message.

Two teachers insurance. So he was a perfect perfect example in this life. Like there's not one thing that we go through in this life that we cannot look and find something that Jesus said that will address it and that will help us understand what to do. Jesus said, also, he, when he talked about it said someone that hear the person that here and do The first met here in do is like a person that bills builds a house on the rock that went down and dug down and found the solid rock and built a house. He said a person that just here Is here, but doesn't do. That's the person that just built the house on Sand. So, when the storm came and beat against both houses, the house that built on fan feeling it and how my Tia of a fall. It was

so, When we here and do. Not just read this and understand it, but we applied in our lives. We here and do then. It gives us some more solid foundation and everything that Christ was trying to do was not only for them, but also for us, I think it was John 16, 17, when he one of my favorite prayers that Jesus prayed that he said, Afraid to God, he said, don't take, don't take these, don't take him from me. He was talking about when he leave him when he ascends up he was like, don't don't don't take them. He said, you know, don't take him up, keep them, you know?

He said. Is that only for them, but he said for others. Elvis is going to come others. Just going to follow. Did he did this for it as you and I and every person that come after that gets saved that Jesus did this for Till he died on the cross that we may have life and have it more abundantly. And when I looked up that Greek word for life, it was, it was a representation of not after the life, but life, including after life, That Christ came that we may have life now abundantly and when we leave this world. So he came that we may be for fill here. He said you going to have trials and tribulations in this world but be of good cheer. For I have overcome the world that he's overcome the world. Do what he has done, not only on the cross, but through his actions of always being send, he be Satan directly in the, in the, in the wilderness. Heebie-jeebies Satan, operating through the Flesh of the different people, the Pharisees and Sadducees against the Roman Roman, Roman soldiers on the cross, in the pit of Hell, where you took power, the keys of hell and death, and he is send it back on Earth, back to this level, this realm with power and is he going to send it to be seated on the right hand of God? he did all these things, so we can have a better life and be able to operate better this world, he knew, what one thing that Jesus had to do,

Is stay connected to God. You have to stay connected to the source. Of his strength to be able to deal with all the Temptations because it says that he was tempted, he was tempted. He was tempted yet without sin, so he was tempted.

Where did he get the strip from the deal with the temptation? Was Luke recorded seven different occasions of Jesus praying in Luke. Y'all can look these up later but you are reading those different, those different instances and Luke. He would hear it always went off to the side by itself. The prey

You know, he will go off in it. This was his way of recharging. This was his way of building building his strength back up so he can deal with everything. He had to deal with. And you know the disciples they they they weren't they were constantly they had eyes on Christ. Hey, Eyes On Christ all the time. They had eyes on Christ.

And it was, they was paying attention to every single thing that every little move, every you don't even even the Pharisees and Sadducees. They was doing it and attention, every little move. And I guarantee he couldn't stretch is here to rub his nose without somebody looking. He was always being followed by a crowd and it more. So what do you think? His disciples disciples was? His was, was his inner circle of people. They watch and observe, and I saw how Jesus would pray and then he would go and do perform these Miracles and how he was able to speak with such wisdom and and his in such Powers such as Authority.

Today's a new day new the connection man that's connection with prayer. They knew if you teach us to pray so we could connect to the source. Just like you could make to the source and then we can do, we can do the same things you do. Jesus devil hesitated. when someone wanted help or somebody needed help, I hesitate to share even even even though the woman that came to him to ask for help for a child. And she was a Samaritan. And Samaritans was like, you know, the words to the nation, Israel. The Hebrews in the Samaritans, they they were, they considered to Samaritan's like bastard, you know, which is a whole nother story about who the Samaritan who they were, but

Jesus said, should I give, you know, should I get bread this mess with my people, you know, should I give it to a dog? And she said, even the dogs get to crumbs fall off the table. Jesus was impressed by that faith. You know, any any gave he gave it to us. So this is the same thing I'm trying to paint a picture that

Jesus. Disciples. They they witness something. So they wanted to, they wanted to to learn the power of prayer that Jesus possessed.

This is, this is a great example of what I'm talkin about in John, 11:41, 244 about Lazarus.

So they took away the stone in Jesus. Lifted up his eyes and said, father, I thank you that you have heard me.

Yes, I know you always here and listen to me. What is you talkin about? You talkin about prayer. 50 talk about. You talk about every time I pray. Cuz prayers communication to the Folly. Said they every time basis day, every time I pray, you hear me, you listen to me. You never turn away from me. You always there for me. He said, but I have said this. I want to count of, in, for the benefit of the people standing around. Remember I said, you go back and read those scriptures. Duluth mention Jesus is always going off by himself and praying, it was a private personal thing.

But he said this for the benefit of all those standing around so they would know. so they understand, he's at so that they may believe That you did, send me that you have, made me your messenger.

What he has said this, he shouted with a loud voice Lazarus. Come out. And I'll walk the man who had been dead. His hands and feet wrapped in burial clothes, linen strips, and with a burial napkin down around his face. Jesus said to them free him of the burial wrappers and let him go.

That you tell me that you around chrysin and you witness and praying and praying to God.

said, everything that you see me do is because my father Has told me everything you see me do, is you seen the father do? Because I go unto the father El Sol. Jesus was Jesus was showing them. Teaching them, by example.

There's power in prayer. when we go to the throne room, Every Praise, see what Jesus was doing right here. Where we will talk about it later in the later lessons about different prayer. It was, it was an innocent was an intercession who is voice brother Lazarus standing in this day and time in this day and time we don't get to see you for somebody that has been pronounced dead. It also. But you know somebody said well such as such then passed away, we don't start interceding. But Jesus was showing who he was, he was showing his authority. I'm going to intercede for someone that's already gone asleep as he said to us to the one brother about his daughter so she just sleep.

so,

Jesus is trying to show us, his is Is is is power in that prayer. Now, he gave us some instructions.

In Matthew 6:5 through eight, he talked about before he told them praying this matter, he addressed some issues about, you know, some of the ways he must have been hearing some people praying, he must he must have been, he must have been seeing some people of His People Prayed by some things and he said I got I got to weed out some things before before y'all to learn. The true. Purpose. If it is a method of prayer, I got I have to weed out some things. So the first thing he address in verse five and six he said do not pray openly in public with the purpose of acting the part in public.

Can you use about hypocrite? Don't do like the hypocrites. In that in that the Greek word. Hippo hippo.

What? I looked it up and research it, it said it says a stage play actor.

That somebody is just doing something, they think the purpose and a prayer has nothing to do with. Trying to reach God, a trying to get understanding to get help from God of strength or whatever. We may need. This is just more of a open show. Just trying to show how holy you are. Call. The Paul said that do as I read early in 1st Corinthians to, he spoke about that. Those who are spiritually mature, those who have got it, got it by the spirit of be taught by the spirit that we're able to judge certain things. Not judge people because only God is on the judge, but we're able to the Holy Spirit to able to be able to understand and see things. Now that there have been there have been times where

where,

I have, I have witnessed people to pray.

It is spiritually in my spirit. I did not feel the power of the other product that I'm looking for a feeling cuz I'm not. But I'm saying like this

the touch of the Holy Spirit. Is confirmation. because, Some some people may pray not more so to reach car, but more. So for the amen, as I said, Like, when somebody ask you to pray and then you pray you like what? I got to pray to get them to do. Some a man you know doing some a man if I can get him. Do some a man did my prayers. Good? Well, that's not what it's about. That's what Christ was trying to teach them and teaching us today. Is that we can't when we pray don't, don't be all out in the public praying all night in public in your home. Even even will be around family and friends. And You know, something happens and then you just start praying all out loud.

Unless it's a corporate prayer on say, a prayer of agreement with people are in the group group praying together.

Anthony.

Answer your your camera open.

Photo Anthony.

Obey. This thing is being recorded, man. I hope it in record with a

Yes, I got it. I got to do it less. I have to do a lesson for everyone when they When they come on.

It was Isabel in the last week and that it was you Anthony, but okay. All right. Well,

it all day. I don't think. I could know that I know of I don't think I could cut the camera.

Okay, I was just checking something. All right, it's getting back.

But yeah, God was gone was explaining. I mean Christ was explaining us, you know, it's failing to them and us, you know, we pray, it's a personal. It's a personal thing between us and God unless we are praying in in together. Let's will, this is kind of a mutual is kind of a mutual thing. You know, is if if I'm standing with Anthony and we and we decide to pray about something, That's one thing but he just talkin about just is going out out and you know just be around just start praying off. You don't see the praying under your breath for a prayer that you just praying out loud cuz you trying to show people. So he explained to us to pray in private. He said because this is a time of his intimacy with God and it's it's even if even if we have even if we're going to see me about something, you know that Belinda did did a good example of that, somebody that fell out at a job, and she stopped praying. Right away and two other young men with praying that that's different. That's different prices. Not talkin about that. He's talkin about showing off, you just pray that empty prayer and in verse 7 & 8, he to explain us do not pray. Vain repetition, repetitive prayers. Brain repetition.

I'll look these Greek words of supposed to boil ribs you over there, trying to saw it all. No. Not, you know, some of these words I have never seen. I just looked them up to get a deeper understanding about what was being said. So I thought this was real interested. So I think it's pronounced back to low Gill. Back to logio. but, That repetition, rip, rip, rip a repetitive, repetitive prayer, and a bane repetition. And Jesus talked about, in in 78, What is talking about is, is babbling. You don't chatter you do much talk without any content. you know, just figured that I have to say a whole lot because Let me just say this sometime, I wake up in the morning. and, I don't know what to say. And I just, I just start praising God. As the first day I do, It's sometime my prayers. Maybe because I have a lot in my heart to say, And I feel a lot and sometimes my prayer short, but I always want to try to acknowledge card. Required knowledge. Anybody else touch my phone so I'm thinking about what I got to do that day, and all that stuff and gives God that it knowledge me first. Somebody was talking about just, you know, it in and someone asked me what time is it? If I see, if I say the same prayer, I pray the same prayer over and over and over and over again, the same prayer and say. Yeah, that's that's that's what he's talkin about you. No? Don't don't do that. Don't don't just well. I'm going to say this same prayer over. Just for the sake that I pray Amazon, repeat the same words over and over. Because this is a conversation and say, it's a, it's an intimate time with God, do this to, to talk, just whatever's on your heart. Hi there, baby. Or is it may be something direct that we going to God for a petition? You know, a prayer of consecration, you know? So, I have Lee father knows we have need of before we ask

Got no, we have no need of something that's just like going to a restaurant in the waiter or waitress. We already know what we want. They already, they already know, you know what, we going to drink know what we going to eat, how we going to eat it already in the best even when we don't know, they already know.

And God knows.

we don't have to sit up there and just and just repeat a bunch of the same things over and over and over and over again, over and over again. As if God doesn't hear us, you know, what if I say this enough, maybe it is here. Finally hear me, know, he hears us and he knows what we need. Jesus said, father. I know you hear me. I know you listen to me and he and he because he prayed within God's will.

Jesus, everything he prayed about came to pass.

We'll try question section before.

After this question section anyting any comments in the question? Then we'll get into the actual. Did the diverse of the first one or two verses? Anybody have any questions comments?

Okay, I'm just waiting for somebody to say something.

Are you cool Anthony?

After you still there.

You still there?

Maybe eight.

All right, you probably all know. I'm a move forward.

yeah, baby, I don't know, maybe he stepped, he stepped away or something and maybe he'll but so, This part, the first part. Should I just wanted to get into Purpose of that first section was just too. Just try to build a foundation that that, that this prayer is more than what we just read. So then we'll get into it. We talked about last week Belinda but we got to get into a little deeper today though. So, before that. List.

I want to turn I'm going to turn before we go to the next section. I want to turn to the Book of Esther and see what the Book of Esther says.

David Bell. I hope you. I hope you got a laugh out of that be, could you?

I never get tired of Sanford and Son. Could you hear it?

Hello.

I think that y'all hear that.

Did you catch that Belinda? You must have been looking at. You must been listening.

Do, do it again, boy. That's why I was saying I was saying I was saying let us turn to us and let us turn to the Book of Esther and read what it says.

Motorola.

I got I got to go back.

Oh, okay. yeah, I just thought the funny I said the Book of Esther she said He said, I will let you put some salvation in my ear. I will put some lead in your

Yeah, I'll just try to get old man, trying to make it where it's not. So dry is making me. It's just kind of funny. All right, so all right, give it to the chili and it is

The blueprint of prayer 1 through 3. So that Lord's Prayer, it has six levels of Destruction and we about to get into some meat. Now y'all it's a lot of information but we will imma stop at imma stop at 8:25 or 8:30. I'm not going to go over and then we just have to where we stop. We just have to start next week but Dolores. The Lord's Prayer is 6/11 of instruction and we're going to cover. the first three with try to cover the first 3 in in

And this one we may not get to it. We may just may just get to the first one which is Our Father, which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name.

And the kingdom come thy will be done. Give us this day, our daily bread. So it's six, six different levels. He talked about it and press why I was saying it wasn't. Just just say Just just a prayer. It was, it was deeper, Jesus always gave us some deeper, he always gave us more than then, was there, you know? So,

To the Lord's Prayer. We going to deal with this Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Okay, that's what we going to try to deal with. Finish finishes lesson on tonight. so,

what Jesus is saying, is that we are at the inner God's presence. Got to capitalize that h. We have to enter into God's presence with Thanksgiving and praise. Psalms 100 1 through 5.

The screen on the scriptures.

I'm still sure I'm still sharing. Let me stop sharing and try to share again.

Okay. Alright. No, no, no problem. So, yeah. So Was Jesus's, explain it to us. Is that it's that when we

Enter prayer. We shouldn't we shouldn't come in. And just start just going off and then all we need to, we need to come in with some reverence. With Samara that that that goes back to the the second lesson of who we are. And why do we pray? And we have an understanding of who we are. Tell who God is and we come in Humble, we come in with a humble heart, we become in, you know, bringing everything we got, but we come in with the reverence reverence and respect for God.

so, that Psalms

Imma go ahead. I'm going to go ahead and read it pretty popular. Set of scriptures.

Psalms 100 1 through 5.

Shout Joy fully to the Lord, all the Earth, serve the Lord with gladness and delight come before his presence with joyful singing, knowing fully recognized with gratitude that the Lord himself is God it is he who has made us and not we ourselves when we was talking about who we are and that's the God, you know, all this together. If in and we are here as his people, we are his people and his sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with a song of Thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Be thankful to him. Bless the praise, His name, for the Lord is good, his mercy and love and kindness, or Everlasting his faithfulness and doors to all generations. Amen. But if that's that's how we come in in God's presence, recognizing that we already created, he is the creator.

And we come in recognizing who he is. He is alpha and omega beginning, and the end. El Shaddai Elohim. You know, he is he is all he is The Great, I Am. Ditto. if we during that time, that we come in, We confessing God seat of power and authority in the heavens and everything that exists.

The his seat aware God seats is Cedar power. Is where we entering into the throne room. We entered into the courtyard.

The courtyard. Was the place where you ended. It wasn't even the throne room. The courtyard was like the gate like the outer gate and then once you enter the gate, then that's the courtyard. the way you just out there in the courtyard, it's just like the the temple during the time of bomb. The first temple. The second temple. That was destroyed by Rome that there were there were different chambers. Inner chamber that where the holy of holies was at, that's where the mercy. See, if what they did to sacrifice and everything and then they had an hour to chamber and then another chamber that was just for the men that they had another chamber that was like, for the women didn't have a Courtyard area that was like for anybody that was not. Was not of Hebrew. Was not of Hebrew descent that that could just come in at area. So that courtyard wasn't even it's not even the throne room. Even in the end we we look at Louis XIV to send the Sun King. You know his Courtyard was Versailles. I believe it was beside that that courtyard was just glamorous.

So that's so he's telling me even before you come in the throne room. What a king price sits in when God with his see the powers that he's telling you before you become in the throne room, you come in praising God, you come in in Your Heart, Right? And get your mind right to go before him. That's what he said in his first part.

we ought to concentrate on Jesus sacrifice on the cross that allows us to call Godfather Romans 8:15. We are evil because of Christ. Let me read that to you.

Romans 8:15.

For you have not received the spirit of slavery, leading again to fear. Of God's judgment. But you have received the spirit of adoption. As Sons the spirit producing sonship by which, we joyfully cry, Abba Father. Yeah, that's what that's that's, that's a Hallelujah thing, isn't it?

I tell you.

that is that is that is

That is something to be grateful for that because of Christ and his sacrifice. That we we don't have to, we don't have that boundary of that sea and was like being in slavery. It was being in bondage. In Christ, freed us from that bondage. And brought us in. And if we were grafted into this tree that that we could call him brother and we could call Father God Almighty. We calling father to he's teaching us that Our Father which art in heaven. So we have to we have to think about that. Think they they attack Christ, they attack Christ for being for being

For blasphemy because he was, he was calling Godfather. You were saying I'm, you know, I'm a son, you know. So that was a bad. I was a powerful thing that Jesus was telling telling his disciples, You said call call Jehovah. He said, call him father That was the thing that the Pharisees in the may you put yourself right up there with God. I'll send you the Sun. Are you calling somebody father? That mean that your son? Are you a daughter?

But he was just showing the truth.

Who we really are.

So,

Why did put it up, man? I have read that for nothing. I forgot I put that up. I was on top of it this time Linda I made. Sure. I had all my slides together.

Lucy, we received the spirit of adoption. It's the holy spirit, that brings conviction. Like when we when we hear about Christ and conviction in his own heart and that's the Holy Spirit and then wants to be once we confess. So I says it's the same spirit that convicted us, that changed us.

And it brought us into the family Family of Christ.

The second portion Hallowed be thy name, Halo Halo. To regard as holy give it Allah to Sanctified to set apart to praise to a door.

A father that we recognize that God is our father to Christ Jesus. That we've been grafted in that he is the door that we can go in and out and find pasture. We enter into

We enter into his Courtyard. For praise and worship. We recognize and that he is the Father, the Creator. That hisses Throne is in heaven. And we are giving regard to his name is Holy, we give an honor to his name was sanctify. His name was seven, his name apart from any other name. we give him praise to add or who he is and is named

we are to acknowledge the authority and reverence God's name his holy attributes. His name is Holy attributes. Cuz we said, who was Moses said, who do I tell him? Who said, who, who do I say? Sent me. He said, you say I am. No, that's amen. God is so far beyond being put in a box, when we just give him a name, he has no name. He is actually, buse is endless. So it's not a name like like Abraham Linda Anthony Adrian. We talkin about his attributes, when they say Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be his name, give a torch in reference to his attributes attribute of God. Yahweh is Jehovah.

Covino's Jehovah is more what came later because of the Hebrew, alphabet. There's no j. This this is Jay at and then in the Greek that was no. Jay, that was a lie but JJ was something that came about later. Just like Jesus. Jesus is more of a Jesus wouldn't even spelled with a J by the Greeks the Greek spelled with an i and and then it was And it was, it was a bituary change into a j. But Jesus, Jesus name is Yeshua which is, which is a Hebrew. Jesus name, yahshua, but Yahweh or Jehovah. Means God's existence. It implies his personal intimate presents. In at one time. When will they open? God told Moses that I am. That the Hebrews were they they that name. They they they refuse to even say that name only under certain circumstances because they considered it very, very holy. And we think about nowadays my often. How often do we?

I guarantee at least once twice a day if you on TV among your friends and somewhere, you going to hear somebody say, oh my God.

Oh my God. It just said, you know what that's that's using God's name in vain.

We we are not, we are we are the show, reverence for who God is and his attributes and not to put him down, bring him down to a level of calling out his name like that especially during certain situations.

It's up to you may not want to hit it. But that's the truth and if I'm wrong, then just tell me I'm wrong, but that's word. We are not to use God's name in vain.

Yahweh. Jehovah also means a Readiness. Oh man, with the 8:30, just that quick Godly. Let me try, try to finish and see what I think I got.

How many more?

I'm almost to the end. So I wish we could y'all can stick with me. Just a little bit. Cuz once again, we started, we started late. I guess it's just us is black people, man. We just don't start on time. You do you start late?

Lee want to start late, didn't want to get out early.

Receipt. Yahweh is Jehovah. Also means the Readiness of God to save his people. So, they're eight names that are compounded. With Jehovah to describe God's nature and character that's been shown throughout throughout the scriptures, okay? They here they are they names of God, which correspond to the five benefits in the New Testament. Are y'all going to have to research this guy? I'm not going to read all these scriptures y'all. You can like I said you can go to the site cuz the presentation will be on the site. If it's not there tonight, I'll make sure it's there by tomorrow. But The. This deda five benefits of the New Testament. Through Christ Jesus. Send. Spirit soundless.

Sound of success. I always forget that last one, I'll send Spirit soundless success. Insecurities. Okay, see you in spirit sound of success. Insecurities.

So,

The first benefit of sin through Christ Jesus is that we have the Forgiveness of sins and freedom from sin. Those are the scriptures that reference set. And then the two names of God. Remember, remember I said back here, that Jehovah needs a Readiness to save God's existence implies his personal intimate presence that's why they put Jehovah with the actual attribute. God's willingness to bring rights since God willingness to sanctify God Willis's, 2in filled with peace God, willingness to be there. So So Jehovah to sit canoe.

Is Jehovah righteousness. Is the righteousness of God that we have to Christ Jesus Through the Forgiveness of sins.

Jehovah m kaddesh. Jehovah, who Sanctified that. After we forgiven from sins, then Holy Spirit cleans up. Gives us a new spirit with born again and we made right that only right standing before God will be Sanctified and we make we had a hold that Sanctified to clean this up.

It ain't we have. They're filling up the holy spirit cuz he can't, he can't and Phyllis until we cleaned up before I see is a forgiving, the Holy Spirit come in. And be with us. So the in filling of the Holy Spirit, Becomes innocent in in by the holy spirit Spirit. Be in Austin, we have we have peace Jehovah's. Peace Jehovah. Shalom.

Jehovah shammah. Jehovah, is there? That he'll never leave us, nor forsake us the holy spirit is as in as always, no matter where we go. I told Belinda the other day, you will hear people saying that God was Garza God in the courthouse. He was a god, he's a God, in the, in the, in the, in the hospital. Peace of God in the poor house but I think I've been in poor house. I've been in, I've been in, I've been in the in the jail and I've been in the hospital so I know that to be true. The God was there with me every everywhere and got me out of every situation.

It in the third benefit. Of the New Testament. Remember the New Testament is a new covenant. That's the New Covenant that God made with us. Old Covenant, New Covenant. It is soundest. That's a benefit of Christ. Is the promise of health and healing? Isaiah 53:5 by his stripes. We are healed. 1st Peter 2:24 by his stripes. We are healed. I can fix these things almost daily if I forget, God, forgive me. But

The stripes that he bore on his body. They took with those cattle, nine tails, and rip the flesh off his back. The bottle Stripes that he had on his back that we are healed. We are healed spiritually. we are healed physically and also also mentally, Sophie might say, wager if you hear why you still on dialysis. Why I'm here? I am here. I'm here. Spiritually. Are the physical manifestations of that.

It's happening every day.

But that's more that's more about me than it is about God. Y'all understand that is is not about God. It's about me. It's about what I believe.

Yeah.

Yes. it is, if Is. it's a

everything that happens. Happens in the spiritual realm first. And then a manifest is physically.

but I have to say, I think about but I look around me. Just as a testimony when I look around me and I go to dialysis and I see other people who are on dialysis and I look and I say I'm really blessed. God God keeps me and I do have a soundless of Health I do. I really do y'all, you know, but that that that piece Is there you know Jehovah Hills? Jehovah rophe. Some people say trophy is ropa. Jehovah Rapha.

Are you absolutely right Belinda? Yeah, absolutely. Right. Some people, some people to think that when you pray about something that has to be instantaneous, sometimes it's not because there are other things other things have to happen. This is a lot deeper than some people understand. Anthony, and I was talking about that yesterday. There's some time. There's certain things that we have to go through. Because God is trying to shape and mold something in us or try to burn something off of us. To make a stronger.

This was supposed to be, it started over as one but that's supposed to be for. So then we have the success. the freedom from the curse of the law, concerning poverty and lack, Deuteronomy 28 and you you have a chance, you can read it, it breaks down about the curse. What what are the if you break this law and don't follow it to talkin about the Mosaic law? The Mosaic law, we are free from the curse of the law because of Christ. Jesus, Galatians 3:13 Philippians 4:13, Romans 8:2 that that we are free from the curse of all Jesus freed us from the curse of the law. So that law that falls on everyone.

Does not fall on us.

We are free from that minute. Meaning that we, we don't stay in. We all stay in poverty, we don't stay in, lack. God is always provided for us. You always have a roof over my head. We have food to eat at none of us. Run around here, belly suck. Then we got roof over my head. We are blessed. Will bless is not about having a big as house and that's where a lot of people have to really get out of their head. Is that is not about what God really loves his did. He'll give us a big mansion in the Mercedes-Benz and and all the stuff. No, this is is, is that about that that we live in a wicked world.

With a enemy out there. This is trying to take us out. Do we have a god? that protects us through the blood, we have a savior that's always praying for us and we have a God that loves us and never allows us to have be without Never I told I told my wife, one day, I said, since we've been married, think about all. We've been through it financially ups and downs and and I wasn't able to work for a while and trying to make ends meet and I said, but what we ever hungry We were still able during Christmas time to buy gifts for the kids. They still, we still two trips. We still was able to do things with him. We still have clothes on our back cause whenever repossessed, we always had gas driver. License never cut off. God is good. That that's successful. We have to Christ that he's our Jehovah-jireh. You know, that that he provides Provisions for us. Even when we don't know the damn Anthony gave a testimony to me the other day that easy on his own business. And his truck broke belt, broke his truck.

he was like he was upset but he realize he said, you know, it may be something better that God got I'm not going to be upset about that. I'm just he was just thankful. Instead of probably, if you would have took a run and got on the road, he probably would have took a run, that was $1,000. maybe $850, but because of that and because of his his attitude, You ran across a job that was 9000 some dollars. One run and he said he had it all the years he been driving over 7 years. He said he is, he has never had a running paid that much. this is what God do for this week week because of Christ no matter what kind of stuff happened in my life would happen when we have the attitude and we have the mindset that no matter what happened, like like Paul said, Don't matter if I'm broke, no matter what I'm going to be content because I know that my God shall supply, all my needs Jehovah-jireh. The last benefit is that we have security. Through Christ Jesus.

The freedom from the fear of death and Hell.

The he's are Jehovah, Nissi. I Jehovah. Our Banner. It's this waving in the air flag. Anytime that you see, the victors, when the victors win the battle? The first thing they do is take down the enemy's flag and put the flag up.

We have more stuff happening in America, but behind that flag of that flag, the flag represent. Something why is it that every country has a flag?

The Flag represents some of the red white and blue represent some no stars represent something. The banner of Christ.

That we wave that we wave before, fear and death. That we have no fear. I'm dying because we should not have any fear dying like that. Like Bob Marley said, everybody want to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die, you know. But we shouldn't have no fear. Because we know we got Covenant. Jesus said I'm going to make a home for you. Is I want to tell you this if it wasn't true. So we know we know to Christ Jesus that this is not even we leaders, we passed away the day come. When I name is call that this is not it. They cause us to that cause us to be more and peace as we go throughout our life because we not, we not at all concerned about that. That's just not always in my ear. We know we not going to hell because of Christ. Jesus. We can waive that better. Anytime fear and all that stuff, can we waive the banner of Christ in their of who he who what he did but he took all the keys of hell and death. We have the security in Christ Jesus. He is our Shepherd, Psalm Psalms 23. These are Shepherd. Make it a slide down by the green pasture. David walk through the valley of the shadow of death. We should not feel because his rod, and his staff, which represents power and authority, it gives us comfort. Keep a pass, a table for us in the presence of my enemies. What is a head with oil? A cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days, our life and we should dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Jesus Shepherd. We had a security that we got Jesus, that's constantly watching over us. No matter. What's happening with Anthony, get out there on that road. He goes out in confidence. You know, he's going to come home. And when Belinda goes out to work and she comes in late and she has to go out early in the morning. She has that confident. She knows that our family is okay in the family safe.

Coastal spot benefits are tied to those to those eight names of God. This this this is, this is what we do when Jesus was saying, Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name,

Giving reference to God's attributes.

See, you see how I'm saying? It's so much deeper and so much deeper than just that sentence. Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. It's so much deeper than that. So when we go into prayer, when we go into pray, these these five attributes. I don't care if we don't remember all of me, even if we just remember one or two, To just give praise to God for. Recognizing who he is and who sits on the throne of our life.

so, this book here, Could you not tarry one hour? By Larry Lage, it's a good resource book. A lot of information is that I gave you all this out of his book, but this is a good. This is a good resource book, okay?

so,

I want put a kind of figured, I would get right at this point, but I said, if I would, when I was doing it, I said, I think that's enough information for it and we're just go but see that first step 1st portion is to keep God Christ mention that first, he mentioned, he started off the prayer with Our Father who art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. That's how it started. And then, how did, how does it start? When God gave the Commandments to 22? Moses, it started off by rivers and God and always starts with God first. It always starts to God first. Yeah, so that's that's it for the night, y'all. So Any any any comments or questions?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, it did not. We it's been a great blessing in my life.

And we encourage each other all the time. And just just, like Belinda does, how I don't get a chance to talk to Belinda everyday, cuz she she's constantly running. Working a babysitting are getting sleep.

Administering. A praying that mean she's a prayer warrior in her and she's also a prophetess. and I mean that I mean shoot man she when the Holy Spirit Come on her to read somebody male but she read it and no

but, yeah, I mean

I'll probably leaving when I go, I think even when I get to the end of this whole series, I'm going to take a break maybe about a week or two or three weeks, and then, I'm going to come back with something separate that given go even deeper, but But you will see y'all to see you know, like next week we'll finish. we'll finish up because I had, I had to go into those first that first section because I had to try to show, Show to everybody, that that may listen to the record later or try to catch you later. That. this this was this wasn't just saying, Just Christ, just just spilling out, something just saying, something else. Teachers of prayer. I just pray this way, you know, like you like when somebody come and ask you how to do something, you just tell him something. I just how you do it, you know. Back, if somebody coming asked me like what your Easter, how do I go and start a business? You know I could easily just tell them. Do this, do this, do that do this, do this, do that, do this, do that.

but,

Everything that I told him in those step is so much more to it than just those individual steps. And I know answer, you give me an Amen on that, you know, that to be true. Adolf.

Yes, oh yes. I Want to Hold Your Hand longer than like we did last year thing. Last week, we end up finishing and we did a lot of talkin. But I'mma put you see on that, on that flashback slide. If you go to that face, life.com, full-size by bleach. Did a pull-up I have to go and put the slide, the recording on that in a presentation but y'all get time. I know it's hard with life. You get everybody. Get busy. But if if if you get time did I say take the time and go back over to slides and then go to those scriptures? and look at those individual scriptures but and even even

And it in. And like I said, if it's if it's somebody else somebody, you know, somebody to talk to, it's a lot of it. There are few people that I reached out to and I sent the link to And I didn't, they didn't show, which is, which is fine. I told her everything I told Belinda, I've been saying this for the last 4 weeks that if nobody show up, it is nobody one day during the next couple weeks. If nobody show up, I'm just so still go ahead and teach, I teach to myself, but just you do. But I, thank y'all so much. And I mean, I appreciate y'all coming and supporting me and not only support. And I told I told my mother she asked about if I was going to invite some other people and I said well if they want to learn something

I prefer if somebody come the interested in learning something, come somebody coming to the supporting because

How do I do a lot of times? I said in church, and then a minister will come to visit another church and he would bring a lot of people with them. Why for the support? What did half of the people that come they sitting in the back, looking at their phones? Talkative play it, even pay attention. So I don't want nobody here. I don't want nobody to come, just so they can see, I support him. So, you know, all I feel sorry for me, I don't have nobody. You know, I want you to come so you can learn something, you know. That's that's what I want to know. So I think y'all, I think y'all once again for coming in

Imma go ahead and stop this recording.
