Our Father in Heaven Hallowed be your name.
As we reflect upon our lives and celebrate Fathers day there is a great calling upon our lives to be the examples for our children and to teach them the ways of God.
This obviously is more than a mere outward show but requires an inward dependence upon the person of Jesus Christ.
This would be a prayer that we as men would do good to be the prayer that defines our lives and our praise.
For when this Truth is driven deep within our hearts we then rightly come to the place in our character to be the Leaders that God expects of us within our homes.
Time is too short to waste.
do not be like the hypocrites.
RECAP: do not be like the hypocrites.
For even when they do their charitable deeds they sound a trumpet.
Closest relation we can have to this is getting off the interstate and sounding a trumpet before you gave some money to a homeless man.
So as we looked at last week the heart to why we pray is just as crucial to the content in which we pray.
Do we seek the praise of men or the praise of God
Do we seek His plans, and HIs ways, or do we seek to use the power of God for own pleasures and lusts.
As we seen last week the heart of prayer this week we will look at the direction of our prayer to whom we call upon.
After this manner
Not a liturgical prayer but rather a model prayer.
We must be careful that we do not turn it into a vain repetition as the heathen would do for thinking the power lies within the prayer itself and not to the one to whom it is prayed.
This is great to learn, memorize, and teach but let us continue deeper in the manner which Jesus taught us.
That this might not be the beginning and end of our prayers but rather the beginning that teaches us the foundation of mens prayer towards God and their heart behind it.
JESUS himself didn’t use it in such a way for in was not repetitive
Nothing wrong with memorizing it and even repeating it but the one who understands the content will understand the content to all the greater degree that can pray in more honoring ways.
Jesus lays for us a personalization to prayer that had not been heard like it before.
Notice the direction of His prayer.
He referred to God as Father, and in following suit he calls us into a similar manner by his example.
Father: Christ lays our for us a personal relation with God the creator.
Now real i must say that the Bible is not chauvinistic when it calls us to cry Father.
For the sake of following modern day movements we must not replace Father with Mother.
There are instances where God refers to himself like a mother in Isaiah.
The bible gives woman more dignity, worth and clarity for their lives than any other religion.
Yet with this we must never tamper with the clear revelation that God gives us about himself.
The bible gives woman more dignity, worth and clarity for their lives than any other religion.

Now i understand that some in here this morning didn’t grow up with a good Father.
Whether through abuse or neglect, it should not be the filter or lense in which we understand the God of Heaven.
For the God of heavens is not like mere mortal man nor asks as such.
He see by Jesus’ Example that we cry Father.
And what a privilege it is to cry such a Holy name in a personal way.
Ask equally amazing as the priesthood of the believer that is able to enter into the holiest of holies is also the utterance on the behalf of men to cry Father unto God.
In a Father Son, Father daughter relationship we can see in our world that....
A Childs well being is directly related to the character and nature of his Father who cares for him.
This directness of prayer displays a relationship between God and man that doesn’t come naturally to us since the Fall in the garden of Eden.
A Childs well being is directly related to the character and nature of his Father who cares for him.
Though we would do good to say that God is the father of all men for he is creator of all, the manner Christ prays begins to distinguish the hearts and souls of men.
Not everyone that says Father is truly a son of God.
For this is not the natural nature of man.
And as describe by by the word that we neither seek after God nor love Him.
We would much rather feed the desires of our flesh than honor the ways of God.
We would much rather feed the desires of our flesh than honor the ways of God.
We must not relate Gods wrath to human anger.
For even in Gods wrath he is longsuffering and patient.
Others we all would be done away with in a moment.
But in Gods holy nature we must know that He by no means winks at or condones sin and those who walk in it.
Being Holy, righteous, and good sin must be accounted for.
As brought forth in iniquity we are of a different Father
‘
So positionally we as men are in trouble.
We do not rest in the good graces of peace with God but rather are the enemies of God.
As following under the care of our father the devil, we are in darkness, deceived by lies smoke and mirrors.
He doesnt care for us, He does not love us, but rathers that we would waller in sin and the filth of this world.
And as describe by by the word that we neither seek after God nor love Him.
We would much rather feed the desires of our flesh than honor the ways of God.
So man is certainly in a predicament.
How can the enemies of God, the children of wrath come to a position in which they are able to cry Father.
1 john 4
God made an inititive born out of love for that which didnt love him in return
So for those who come by way of faith, stripped of all earthly merit, to cry before a holy God and plead the cross of calvary.
The only hope of man lies with the substitutionary act of Christ on the behalf of sinners.
Believing in the sufficiency of His work and not ours.
By way of grace (for we do not deserve it), through faith, in Christ we see that God gives the right to become the children of God.
Through this act of Love on Gods behalf giving to us that which we didn’t deserve He adopts us into his family as children
Now with a heavenly hope, and inheritance.
With a new name
By way of grace, through faith, in the cross of calvary, we are given the spirit of God which lives inside of us, with a new found privilege of crying ABBA FATHER, to which we had no right before.
As Children of God it is says that we have become a new creation.
That we have been given life.
With this transformation by the indwelling spirit we no longer walk as we once walked.
For we have been removed from the domain of darkness into his marvelous light.

The place of dwelling for God is not in temples made with hands but in the expanse of the universe.
For his throne is above the earth for He is God.
This brings a much needed distinction for God in comparison to man.
He is not like us.
He is in heaven and we are not.
He is God and we are not.
And rightly acknowledging as such.
This brings out the bigness of God and the smallness of man.
psalms 8:3-4
an estimated 250,000,000x250,000,000 stars in the universe and God knows them all by name.
The bible teaches us that he has breathed them into motion.
In retro-spec to the vastness, and greatest of Gods creation the psalmist is mesmerized that God is mindful of us.
That he would care for us.
For the fatherly Love towards his children that puts the child at ease.
as we will talk about in weeks to come God clothes the lilies of the fields and feeds the birds of the air.
He says to not worry but trust.
