When *Jesus* was here *on* the *earth* He *taught much on* the subject of *prayer*, even when He wasn't teaching, but just praying we can learn a lot.
Probably the *best known* is the *Lord's prayer*, which we just read.
*I.*
*Jesus gave* us is some *basic principles of prayer*.
*A.* In */V 9/*, where Jesus said, ..... [read], Jesus is giving us the *principal of praise*.
*1.*
He's telling us that *when we go to the Father*, we need to *spend some time praising Him*.
*2.*
The next *V.
*Jesus says something different.
Look at */V 10/**.*
* a.*
So *what* is *Jesus* trying to *teach us* in (*MATT 6:10*).
* **i.*
I think *part of it* is that He's trying to *teach us* the *principle* of *putting God 1st*, *His will* and *His kingdom*.
.
*ii.* (*MAT 6:33*), says.....
*B.* In */V 11/* He says,....
*1.*
In this prayer *Jesus teaches the importance of daily prayer* and *asking the Father for our every need*.
*a.*
We need to *keep our eyes on the Lord* *for* our *every need*, *not* to our *job, or anything else.
*
*b.*
Begin to *ask and trust the Lord for our every need*, *even* for the *little things*.
*i.*
Most don't.
*2.*
*/MAT 6:12/* *Jesus taught much* on the *subject* of *forgiveness* when He was here on this earth.
*a.*
Look at what He says in */V 14‑15/*.
*b.**
Prayer will not work in an unforgiving heart*.
*i.*
We *can't hold grudges against someone* *and expect* to have a *prayer* life that *gets results*.
*C.* */MAT 6:13/** *
*1.*
The word “*temptations*” in this *V* can also *means* “*test or trial*.”
*a.*
There are times that *God will try or* maybe better said *test our faith or our obedience*.
*i.*
Now God does *not* test us *with evil*.
(*JAM 1:13*) “For God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:” (KJV)
*b.*
*He doesn't test* us *with* *anything* that the *Devil would want us to do*.
*c.*
Look at */V 13/* again.
I *don't think* that *God* would *lead us into an evil temptation*.
*d.*
But the way I see it is that *God may lead us into a test of obedience*.
*e.*
*Many* of these *tests and trails* can be *avoided* or met in advance by a *child of God spending time* in *praise and worship*; and by *enjoying* the *fellowship* with the Father *that* a *proper prayer life brings*.
*/MAT 26:41/** *
* II.*
*/MAT 5:44/* Now I think that's interesting what Jesus says here about prayer, The *1st* *part of this V tells you what motivates you to pray*.
He says, “*LOVE you enemies*.”
*Love is the thing* that will *motivate you to pray*, and *this love has been given from your *heavenly* Father*.
*A.* *Why* do you *love your enemies and pray for them*?
*1.*
*/V 45‑48/* [Mat 5:45‑48]
*a.*
Jesus is telling us to *be like the Father*.
*b.*
Look at */1COR 13:4/* *“suffereth long”* means “*forbearing or (subjectively) patient, patiently endure”*
*c.
“**Kind**”;* means “*kindhearted, tenderhearted.”
*
*d.**
“Envieth not”,* means “*covet, envy, be jealous over”.
*
*e.**
“Vaunteth not”, *means “*braggart, to boast”.*
*f.*
“*Not puffed up”, *means* “to inflate, i.e. (figuratively) make proud (haughty):” *
*g.*
*/V 5/* *“Doth not behave itself unseemly”,* means “*to be (i.e.
act) unbecoming”.
*
*h.*
“*Seeketh not her own,”* means “*not self‑centered,* *doesn't put self 1st.” *
*i.**
“Not easily provoked,”* means “*not easily angered.”
*
*j.**
“Thinketh no evil,”* means *“doesn't think ‑bad, evil,* *harm, ill, noisome, wicked.”
*
*k.*
*/V 6/* *“Rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth,” *means *“doesn't rejoiceth in injustice, wrongfulness, ‑iniquity, unjust, unrighteousness, wrong”.
*
*l.**
**/V 7/** “Beareth all things”, *means *“to cover with silence (endure patiently): ‑(for‑) bear, suffer.”
*
*m.*
“*Believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Charity never faileth:”*
*2.*
*Because of this love* that *the Father gave us*, *we are like Him*, so we should *begin to pray for our loved ones and our enemies*.
*III.*
*/MAT 7:7‑11/*
*A.* In these Vs.
here *I can see why* the *Jews* could *not understand Jesus*.
*1.* *If Jesus would have come along like the other O.T. prophets* did, *proclaiming judgment*, and presenting a *God who is far off*, *distant*, and *unapproachable*.
*a.*
They *might have understood* Him better.
*i.*
*That was* the *picture* of God *they were accustomed to*.
*b.*
*When God came* down and *talked to Moses* on the mountain, *there was* *fire, thunder and lighten;* if anyone *touched *that mountain they died* *instantly.
*c.*
*When the presence of God moved into the Holy of Holies*, *no one dared* to *go in* for fear of *instance death*.
No one *except* the *priest*.
*2.*
The *Jews knew about God* who was *high and holy*, who *dealt* with people with *severe judgment*, and *they feared Him*.
*a.*
But *Jesus came with a message of love*.
He *introduced God as a father*.
But the *Jews couldn't comprehend* *that* kind of God.
