Jesus accomplished what the law could never do on its own; free us from our sin. In Him, all debts are forgiven. “The kingdom of God is like a king who decided to square accounts with his servants. As he got under way, one servant was brought before him who had run up a debt of a hundred thousand dollars. He couldn’t pay up, so the king ordered the man, along with his wife, children, and goods, to be auctioned off at the slave market. “The poor wretch threw himself at the king’s feet and...

All debts forgiven.

God supplies for ALL of our needs, not just simply food for our bodies, but for every area of our lives. What is God showing you about this “daily bread?” Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: “It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth.”- Matthew 4:4 MSG I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living...

Simply food, or something more?

When we pray “on Earth as it is in Heaven”, we are praying for the things Jesus desires. The very things he did as he walked on Earth. It’s the love of God crashing into people’s lives, causing radical change. Healing the sick, raising the dead, cleansing lepers, and casting out demons. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,And recovery of sight to the blind,To set free those who are...

It’s the love of God crashing into people’s lives.

Welcome to episode 6 of our journey through “How to Pray”, Jesus’ response when his disciples asked “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” This week, we open by reading the Matthew 6:9-13 using the VOICE translation. saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”- Luke 22:42 ESV Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.- John 4:34 ESV And do not be...

Not my will, but Yours.

God’s kingdom is not of this world, yet we are called to seek it first before everything else. This week, we open by reading Matthew 6:9-13 from the Amplified Bible. Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.”- John 18:36 NASB But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.-...

A kingdom not of this word

When we pray, we recognize God for who He is, our Heavenly Father. In this manner, therefore, pray:Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.Your kingdom come.Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.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.- Matthew 6:9-13 TPT After we recognize who He is, we honour and...

When we pray, we recognize God for who He is. Supreme over all things.

Heaven is a real place. Created by God, it is where he currently resides. At this very moment, he is there, seated on His throne. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.- Genesis1:1 NASB 1995 Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it.- Deuteronomy 10:14 NASB 1995 We lift up our heart and hands Toward God in heaven;- Lamentations 3:41 NASB 1995 Jesus Seated with God So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them,...

There is a place called Heaven, and it is where God resides.

You are a child of the Living God. You are a part of this family. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. - Romans 8:15-17 NASB When you look at Father God, do...

If God is our Father, that means we are His children.

Welcome to our newest series, titled When You Pray. We are going to spend the next several weeks meditating verse by verse from the prayer Jesus taught His disciples. We hope this series blesses your relationship with God, creating richness and depth in the way you pray to your Heavenly Father. “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their...

And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition...

We, as believers, are filled with the Holy Spirit. It is by His power, active and alive within us, that we are able to be a light to the world, and salt to the Earth. He leads and guides, provides wisdom and encouragement, discernment, strength, encouragement, and so much more. He is our everything. He is The Spirit of God, and we honor and adore Him. As we wrap up this series on The Holy Spirit, we meditate on many of the verses of scripture testifying to His interactions among us. May you...

The Holy Spirit is active and alive.

The same Spirit who raised Christ Jesus from the dead, also lives within you. Your body is a temple for the Spirit of God. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NASB 1995 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.- 2 Corinthians 3:17 NIV We also read from...

Your body is a temple.

Jesus needed the Holy Spirit. So did the disciples. How about you?

Jesus is not here with us, and it’s better this way.

It is impossible for us to live our lives as Christians without the Spirit of God.
