BENCHMARKING THE PRAYERS OF JESUS
The most effective way to become a world-class mountain climber is to follow the mountain climber who climbed the mountain as if you were hiding in the mountains of the Amazon's. It is hard to say that the dedication of parents is to make them excellent children in vocal, ballet, musical instruments, sports, and arts. It is a common routine for our parents to let their children learn from famous teachers from the morning until dawn until all the property is shaken. So, should not you also learn faith like this? So, from childhood, you may have come to your ears to try to follow the example of your parents' faith and to learn the Bible and the way of faith diligently to the church pastor. So are you being used as a tool of God to save your soul with amazing spiritual abilities like the Bible's great men? If not, why? The reason is that to learn in the church was to follow formal religious rituals and sacrificial religious practices. So who is the most outstanding teacher in the Bible? It will be Jesus. Then it is best to learn how Jesus served God and to follow Himself. How then did Jesus realize God's will and please God? There is no one who knows that he would have deep and intimate fellowship with God. If so, what is the channel of fellowship with God? It is prayer and the Word. Because he had put the Pharisees, the scribes, and the words, which he had taught the people in his whole memory, into his head with knowledge, he did not know Jesus, who was God, and tried to kill him. This is because the Holy Spirit gave up on the accumulation of dry Bible knowledge without enlightenment. Where does that enlightenment come from? It is possible that the Holy Spirit comes into us and illuminates the Word to make us realize it. If so, it is essential that the habit of praying is deep and intimate with the Holy Spirit. So we must apply it to life as benchmarking the way to fellowship with God to Jesus, the best teacher. So today I want to think about how Jesus prayed.
Imitate the way Jesus prayed.
First, Jesus took the habit of prayer and prayed unceasingly.
Before dawn was still bright, Jesus got up and went to a quiet spot where he prayed (Mark 1:35)
Jesus went to the Mount of Olives in the habit of going to Him, and his disciples followed him. Then he came to them and said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." (Luke 22:39, 40)
The great men of the Bible must have habit of praying. However, Jesus is the only one who has spoken about the habit of praying in the Bible. Then why did Jesus, God, have to practice the habit of praying? The Holy Spirit told the author that I also trained as a human being when I was on the ground. In other words, Jesus knew the weaknesses and limitations of the body when he was in the human body, so he had to pray without hesitation by taking the habit of prayer. If so, we will have to habitually pray. Jesus got up at dawn and prayed, and when he had a chance, he sought a quiet spot and prayed. Therefore, we should take a habit of praying deeply in the morning and in the night when we are not disturbed, and prayer habits if there is a gap in the daytime. Jesus, the God, habitually prayed, and how could we, without being able to do so much, pray without ceasing the habit of prayer?
Second, I entered the room and always prayed.
As you pray, enter your closet and close the door and pray to your Father in secret. Your Father who sees you in secret will reward you (Matthew 6: 6)
Therefore, always keep your prayers and keep watch so that you may escape all these things that come to pass and stand before the Son of Man (Luke 21:36)
Where did Jesus pray? Many Christians visit churches and prayer houses. However, praying in a specific place is not always a habit of praying. Why do you want to pray at a specific place such as a church or prayer hall? This is because they pray while looking at other people 's eyes. Let's say that a person who does not pray usually becomes an elder. If so, he should show it to the pastor or other members of the church. So there are reasons why pastors and elders go out to pray at dawn prayers. Prayer is a way of meeting and communicating with God. Therefore, if you do not want to disturb anyone, and do not want to worry about it, go into the house and hang a door and put on a habit of praying. However, people are complaining that they do not pray at home and pray when they pray at home. This is no different from a student who complains that he or she has to go to a reading room or a library. To be a good student, you should study steadily at school or at home. Also, those who pray in the church can not always pray. The church is not home. Therefore, if you want to get a habit of praying everywhere, you should take a habit of praying at home, not a church or a prayer house, and you should take a habit of praying whenever there is a gap in your office or workplace. That way, we can always pray and we can pray without rest.
Pray with what Jesus said.
Pray ye therefore, O our Father in heaven, that your name may be sanctified, and the kingdom come, and your will will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us a daily bread for us; Do not let us be tempted, but save us from evil. (For the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever, Amen (Matthew 6: 9-13)
Our Father in heaven
The above verse is a prayer to call the object while identifying who is the object of prayer. The object we need to pray for is Yahweh God, and we must pray for God's name and earnestly seek the content of our prayer. But our church does not pray like this. But the Bible, without a doubt, find God, seek Him with earnestness, seek His face, command all souls to find it. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and others in the Old Testament Bible were all prayers to seek God, and Jesus asked if he would seek and seek and knock on the door and give the Holy Spirit. The prayers of the Apostles and the 120 disciples in the upper room of Mark John were also the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. But in our church, it is strange and miraculous not to have such a crucial prayer core.
The name is hallowed.
God is the object of worship and the object of praise. God, our Creator and our Master, wants to be worshiped and praised by our creatures and servants, children. In other words, the prayer that God most desires is to ask for the name of God to be sanctified along with the calling of the name of God. So when you enter Heaven, the Bible records that the 24 elders and angels of the earth will endlessly shout 'Holy.' Then should we not ceaselessly call on God's name and pray for his name to be sanctified in our everyday lives? Prayer without this prayer is not prayer, it is merely monologizing monologue alone or ordering.
The country is coming
The country Jesus speaks is, of course, the kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is called Heaven in Chinese characters. Heaven is not a territory built on either side of the universe, but heaven is the place where God rules and governs. So Jesus said there was a heaven in our hearts, and the Bible said that we are the temple of the living God. So, do not worry about anything, but order to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness. It is the goal and purpose we ultimately hope for, the Holy Spirit in us, that the kingdom of God, in which God rules and governs, is fulfilled. Such a person is the one who is born of the Holy Spirit born again by the Holy Spirit, and who, after experiencing the kingdom of heaven on earth, will live with God in eternal heaven. Do not you think your heart gets bogged down, gets sick, and does not breathe?
The will is done on earth as it is in heaven.
God wants to accomplish his will, sending Jesus Christ to this earth and returning to the cross, and there is no Christian who does not know that Jesus came to this earth to do the will of God. So the reason you made it is no different. So, is not it always natural to pray that God's will is fulfilled? If so, through whom does God's will work? It is through God's children. Then the above must be a prayer that you will be a channel for the will of God. Therefore, every time we pray, we should pray that God will be used as a tool to use as a servant of God's ministry.
Give us today a pattern for daily use.
Daily style is a necessary form today. It implies the minimum cost of living necessary for survival, and also the spiritual form necessary for the soul to live. We must not forget that God is the one who supplies the flesh and the soul to live. But most Christians are praying as a means of fulfilling their earthly greed. So God is turning away this evil prayer.
Therefore, do not worry about what to eat or what to drink or what to wear. This is what the Gentiles are asking. For your heavenly Father knows that all of this must be with you. So first seek your kingdom and his righteousness. And all these things will be added unto you (Matthew 6: 31-33)
We have learned to use daily food as a form of physical necessity for living, and I thought at first. But when I saw the above passage, I came to think again. God has told us that we need the physical form necessary for a living and that we no longer ask for it. So, the above-mentioned daily use style refers to the style of the soul, not the physical form necessary for a living. The way of the soul is the way of God that gives the joy of the soul, peace and freedom, and is given to our soul through prayer and the Word. Therefore, daily prayer and the word of the soul must be sought. Unfortunately, our members are sincerely treading the church yard, and the reason why the soul is dry and cold is that it can not fill the soul. The reason is that even if we come to church, we do not seek the form of soul from God. That is why Jesus has commanded us to save the day-to-day routine of spiritual necessity every time we pray.
Forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.
God hates sin and can not get close to sinners. But we are all sinners without exceptions. That is why God sent Jesus Christ, the only son who had no sin, to this land, to receive the cruel punishment on the cross for our sins. So he promised to confess his sin by relying on the blood of Jesus Christ and to receive forgiveness if he repented. So, did you confess and repent and forgive your sins? Oh, that's right? But when you wake up after prayer, you are sinning again. Sin is the word that means God's words, actions, thoughts, and character. Human beings are conceived and born when they are born, and the sinfulness of liking and pursuing sin is engraved in the bones. So the Bible proclaims that man is a sinner who can not help anyone.
So all you have to do is realize and confess your sins every day and repent with all your heart. So, do you live like that? Unfortunately, our church does not even like to talk about sin because it is making the salvation a reality to the members of the church. So the teachings of sin disappear in the church, and conversely, the skepticism of sin is dull and sinful, but they do not realize their mistakes and live without repentance. There is no chance that they will enter heaven. Not only that. Before God asks forgiveness to Him, He pours His forgiveness on the mandatory conditions to those who pray. It is because God is sinner and sinner. Forgiveness is the sum of love and mercy and compassion. God does not recognize children who do not love because they are loving children. So do not forget that you need to confess and repent of your sins to God, but only those who forgive others are sons and forgive their sins.
Do not let us be tempted, but deliver us from evil.
The word test is the same as the word 'pay', meaning 'to be tested' means 'to fall by sin.' So, in another name of Satan, it is also called "the examiner". That is to say, the test has the same meaning as sin, and the meaning of being put to the test is to fall into sin. Therefore, it is a prayer to ask for strength to fight sin and to win so that it will not fall to sin. In our DNA, sinfulness and sinful pursuits of sin are engraved in it, and ghosts with enormous spiritual powers of angels and their ancestors are waiting for people to be caught in the trap of sin. Therefore, our strength, will, and wisdom can not defeat sin and win. That is why we must strike S.O.S every day to give God the power to fight and fight sin.
Nevertheless, there are many who are scarce and weak, who fall into sin and fall into sin. Evil is the Greek word for 'hosomeron', which can be translated into two things: 'sin' or 'evil spirit'. Therefore, the state of being in sin is the same as being held captive and dominated by demons. Therefore, a person who has fallen into sin is drowned in an unhappy life and lives a painful life. They are destined to be thrown into hell by being hunted for life and soul. Therefore, if you fall into sin, you should immediately pray to God for help. For God alone is capable of delivering from the hand of evil spirits. It is no exaggeration to say that the Lord's Psalm, which Jesus taught, is the definitive edition of the Bible. Therefore, you should take this prayer daily from each of the verses and meditate on it, and pray diligently with a deep understanding. The Holy Spirit descended upon them, and none of them would walk with them. The Lord 's Prayer contains the essentials that God desires most to us. Therefore, if you are blessed with God's blessing and prosperous life, as well as dreaming of the excellent disciples of Jesus Christ under the power of the Holy Spirit, I hope you will keep this prayer like the report of the festival and meditate and pray daily.
This is the attitude of Jesus and the content of prayer. Those who believe in Jesus and come to the Church faithfully will be Jesus' disciples. However, if we accept Jesus as a teacher, but the teacher does not follow and follow the way of prayer to meet with God, it will be just a rebellious disciple. That is why your life of faith has been incompetent, helpless, and hard and tough. Therefore, I would like to benchmark Jesus' prayer from now on and become a disciples of Jesus Christ as the great man of the Bible and be used for salvation in souls, and enter heaven and enjoy eternal happiness and joyful life.
