Taking an interest in what interests God S31e77 Mt6:10

God has some concerns in the Lord’s prayer.

Here is the structure of the Lord’s prayer:

         Intro: one address:; Our father in heaven

         Then 3 concerns of God

         Then 3 concerns of US

Here is the big reveal about this video.  

God has concerns which should be given priority in prayer. God has interests which we best address in prayer. privelige

We’ll ask today: what are the interests of God?

         Why whould I be concerned with the priorities of God

Why should I attend to what draws the attention of God?

It is probably going to be true, that what is important to God

         Is also of ultimate importance to me.

We have some concerns which we will get to: namely

         Give US this day our daily bread

         Forgive us our debtors as we have forgiven our debtors

         Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

Yes God wants us to pray for our concerns.

So what are the concerns of God as we use the Lord’s prayer as a template?

“Our Father in heaven, 

       hallowed be your name. 

10    Your kingdom come, 

       your will be done, 

on earth as it is in heaven. 

11    Give us this day our daily bread, 

12    and forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors. 

13    And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Did you hear what God wishes you to address regarding HIS concerns? His NAME, His KINGDOM, His WILL

         How much do the priorities of God’s name (reputation), God’s kingdom (real estate) and God’s will(rule) infiltrate your prayers?

He is calling us to align our concerns with HIS concerns

         And even to give PRIORITY to them

We want that God is to be thought of correctly: Father, family, holy heaven. 

Hallowed be thy name

         We exist on a fallen, and in some ways far-from-Him world

         We trash God by “thinking He is like us” 

                  Rather than HOLY, pure, set apart

         We trash His name and thoughts of Him by our verbal curses

         He is holy and due reverence on every future heavenly day

                  But also due such admiration now today, every Tuesday

                  And every Thursday.

Thy kingdom come

         That the invisible real estate of God’s kingdom would be manifested here.

         If you like to think about it geographically.

That the acreage of influence would grow. How’s that 

By one heart, by one mental trust, by one act at a time

         By one wallet that is changed to generosity

         By one zipper that is called to obedience

         By one soul that puts its eggs in the basket Lordsarm

Thy kingdom come where, Here. When now.

Thy kingdom come. When? On the ultimate day of your reign, with judg;ment, wrath, justice, truth

         We want it for THIS day and we wait for it on THAT day.

Thy will be done

         Let your will be done. May I allow it on my footprint of this kingdom. May those I lock arms with in the church allow it.  May those who see me, and see us, doing our thing with God also be called to jump into the Tsunami of God’s will.

         Remember His will is pleasing, good and perfect

Are you in a church which keeps and teaches and worships and moves to expand the borders of His kingdom now and also looks to the hope of His promises. There is no true understanding of Thy Kingdom come outside the context of the church and fellowship.

         It is there that His name is treated rightly by worship,

                  By song, by setting our thinking, by the careful prep of a sermon to help us know stuff and think the right way

         It is there that wills are wrangled into submission

                  “The problem with living sacrifices is that they keep wriggling off the altar”

                  The problem with people is we are tempted to wander from His will—the church, the word, the HS helps re-steer us back

         Your kingdom come: the church is likely involved in OUTREACH. There best is a concern for the expansion of the the kingdom INSIDE the walls of your church, but also OUTSIDE the walls of your church.  If there is not, there are better churches out there for you.

God is appropriately occupied by the His concerns and interests.

He asks us to take an interest in what interests Him, namely:

         The holiness of His name, the coming of His Kingdom, and the accomplishment of His will.

Of interest, He asks us to care about the things He cares about.

To pray for these things is music to His ears.

Let us let the priorities of God’s name (reputation), God’s kingdom (real estate) and God’s will(rule) infiltrate your prayers
