The Lord’s Prayer Pt 4
This is the 4th part of a 5-part series on the Lord’s Prayer.
Our prayers are very important.
It is more than the words we use.
It is how we approach prayer and the condition of our heart.
Jesus demonstrates this by taking time out to talk about how our prayers should be conducted and a template on how we should pray.
Week #1
Recognize and reverence the name of our Heavenly Father.
The name is holy and sanctified and we should show honor and respect.
Week #2
Confess and believe in our heart that we really want to see the kingdom of God come and the will of God to come to pass as it is in heaven.
Week #3
Ask for our physical and spiritual needs.
One is not greater than the other.
Week #4
Today, forgive as we have been forgiven.
We all have baggage in some form or another.
We hold on to things like a shield.
We think this will protect our hearts.
It may block future hurt, but it also blocks future joy.
It is not healthy and it will inhibit our prayers.
How can we hold on to anger, bitterness, and un-forgiveness when God has gone to such great links to forgive us.
What right do we have to hold onto it.
Look what we have been forgiven of.
We think the wrong someone else did to us is worse than what we did to Christ.
Did someone beat you?
Did someone nail 9 inch spikes into your feet or your hands?
Have you had a spear thrust into your side?
Jesus offers forgiveness and reconciliation!
And we hold on to our anger and bitterness.
Do our prayers seem to be unfruitful.
We want revival.
Revival starts in us first.
He is the master and we are His servants.
Are His servants unforgiving?
10,000 talents = 200,000 years of income.
For the average income, 3.48 Billion Dollars
100 Denarii = 4 months wages or $5,800
This is still a chunk of change.
4 months vs 200,000 years.
There is not much of a comparison.
But when someone has wronged us, it is hurtful and angering to us.
We hold on to it and will not let it go.
Then we wonder why our prayer lives do not have the power they should or we do not hear from God like we want.
We have been forgiven EVERYTHING and we are unable to forgive little.
It may not seem like little, but in the grand scheme of things, it is very little.
When we put things in the perspective of eternity, it helps us to let go of bitterness and forgive like we should.
vs
faith of the friends - we do not travel this world alone.
The faith of friends contribute to the healing of another
We are celebrating the day our King rode into Jerusalem triumphantly.
He rode in fully knowing in less than a week He would be taking your and my debts or sins to the cross.
Our prayers may not bear the power they should because we may be an unforgiving servant instead of the friends who go out our way to help each other.

A - Acknowledge
