Hallowed Be Your Name
Hallowed Be Your Name
The position of the Believer:
The position of the believer in coming boldly unto the throne of grace.
Now by the Holy Spirit being adopted in the family of God by which we are able to cry Abba Father.
Being transfered from the pit of darkness into the kingdom of HIs sons
Read
Pray.
He now proclaims:
“Hallowed by your name.”
Hallowed: to be venerated: accorded a great deal of respect, especially because of age, wisdom, or character."a venerable statesman"
Hallowed: to be venerated: accorded a great deal of respect, especially because of age, wisdom, or character."a venerable statesman"
“Accorded a great deal of respect because Age:” He is eternal and was before timeHis wisdom: He is all knowing (not just all things past and present but also possible) , and does not need to be taught or counseled.And his character: He is Holy.
synonyms:respected, venerated, revered, reverenced, worshipped, honored, esteemed, hallowed, august, distinguished, acclaimed, celebrated, lionized;
The directness of this hallowing is pointed towards His name and not our name.
How often do we seek our glory rather than the Glory of God. OR how often do we seek to take that which is due to God.
But rightly understood His name is the only name worthy of reverence.
God does not need us to render him Holy for he is Holy (He possesss it. Its in HIs nature. For He does not need us to attribute this character unto God for Him to obtain it).
The one who benefits from such a rendering is the one to whom sees God in such light. When a man sees God and acknowledges Him as Holy he realizes that he is not that which God is.
He reveres God and understands how God is set apart from all of creation. He attributes to God honor seeing the position of authority that God has over all of creation.
They worship God in such light. Hallowed be your name.
When one sees God in such light it revolutionizes his prayer life.
For He understands God is from beginning to End, Eternal, and His wisdom is held in such light for he knows all things from beginning to end, and He alone is Holy and good.
So as we pray to one of such character We are rightly attributing to God what He alone possesses.
We humbly bow to the one who our lives are subject.
Willing to obey the voice of his commands, understanding we only see in part, we trust in him knowing He is creator and all things are upheld by his power, and we trust his words for he is faithful and holy and deception is not found in him.
And lives lived in such light will properly direct others through their actions and deeds to their heavenly Father, For they live a life which does not come natural unto men. For they could only be born out of a relationship with Him because of His indwelling power by His Holy Spirit.
honoring our heavenly father.
We learn the attitude of the psalmist falls at the same landing pad.
Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let such as love Your salvation say continually,
“The Lord be magnified!”
But I am poor and needy;
Yet the Lord thinks upon me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay, O my God.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the Lord.
Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust,
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works
Which You have done;
And Your thoughts toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.
Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
My ears You have opened.
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is within my heart.”
I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness
In the great assembly;
Indeed, I do not restrain my lips,
O Lord, You Yourself know.
I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth
From the great assembly.
Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;
Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
For innumerable evils have surrounded me;
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
They are more than the hairs of my head;
Therefore my heart fails me.
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;
O Lord, make haste to help me!
Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion
Who seek to destroy my life;
Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor
Who wish me evil.
Let them be confounded because of their shame,
Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let such as love Your salvation say continually,
“The Lord be magnified!”
But I am poor and needy;
Yet the Lord thinks upon me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay, O my God.
Our hallowing is rooted in the relationship that is rested in the relationship between us and the father.
The salvation by the grace of God is the grounding which our hallowing comes from. That enlightens the eyes to truly see God as worthy of praise and brings us into the position to rightly do so that it may be pleasing to him.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the Lord.
Magnify:
great, exalted, i.e., be in a state of honor, glory, and so have high status (); (piel) make great, exalt, honor, glorify, make much of, i.e., cause one to have high status
Swanson, J. (1997). Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains : Hebrew (Old Testament) (electronic ed.). Oak Harbor: Logos Research Systems, Inc.
Once again not that God needs us to give him a high status for him to have for he already has it obtained from the the world was.
Do you notice the psalmists response in light of Gods gracious work?
But i am poor and needy.
The one Who praises God and desires his name to be magnified understands that we are not worthy of it. We are in such of need, not God in need of us.
Isaiah when he entered into the presence of God.
I am a firm believer when God unveils himself to certain individuals there response is not, yeah that sounds good God, type attitude. It is a Woe is me for i am undone attitude. Have mercy on me.
So I said:
“Woe is me, for I am undone!
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of hosts.”
Isaiah 6:
When your eyes see the KING, THE LORD OF HOSTS.
This right here became my prayer for youth camp.
You don’t need to pressure for decisions When your eyes have seen the KING.
.
The basis of the hallowing of God is found in the nature and character of God. Who is set apart from all creation.
The basis
The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:
“Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come!”
And one cried to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!”
Those who see God in his purest form understand clearly as He is.
Then Why is it that His church appears no longer to see Him in the clear light for fear over takes them. Worry surrounds them. Sin is encamped with them. They welcome the harlot into their bedrooms but leave God outside the home.
Isaiah 6:
Therefore You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
That is good. God is so great
THis is the power of context. When you only see part you read into the words that may be found in this verse. But when you see the whole story your heart swells to proclaim you are worthy God. Hallow be your name.
David looks around at his house made with cedar and cant stand God dwelling in a camp
Look at the basis of his extolling, his praise towards God.
So the question then comes is, what does this look like laid out in our lives?
Maybe better put…How are you Hallowing the name of God in every area of you life.
How are you exalting Him with your thoughts?
With you actions?
With your finances?
IF you are not honoring God with your firstfruits then how are you rightfully giving to God that which he is do. Not because he needs it but because He deserves it.
NKJVLet your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Not in mere outward acts but radical works that only could be performed by the power of the one that lives inside us.
This manifests itself with radical works. In our day Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Giving to your parents what they didn’t give to you. Homes are left in pieces because of their rebellious ways. Now honoring your father and mother not because they deserve it but because God commands it.
Standing for the biblical form of marriage not because its the best way but because it is the only way. ANd is the only form that honors the king.
Not living for the things of this world but this world but the one to come. To LIVE IS CHRIST AND DIE IS GAIN.
Fighting for life
You also have a desire that HIs name be great among all the nations. You seek His truth to be known unashamedly in our culture and abroad.
Testimonial from youth camp.
God unveiling the eyes of the students and allowing me to be a part of it.
WE left this week saying we have seen the KING. Like the psalmist proclaims
We sat in a prayer
So because of the position of the child of God
Which leads to the proclamation of the child.
When he sees the king as he is, Our heavenly Father, they see themselves in the proper light. Woe is me, HE is worthy.
Hallowed be Your Name.
