Our Father in Heaven
Matthew 6:9 (NIV)
9This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.”
Introduction: We should pray with great zeal based on a firm foundation of correct understanding regarding our relationship with God. Prayer without faith is a vulnerable target of attack by Satan.
1. Our Father in heaven.
1)Heaven is not a vague place but a definite place.
①Isaiah saw a throne (Isa 6:1–4).
②Apostle Paul’s revelation (2 Co 12:1–4).
③Apostle John’s experience (Rev 4:1–3).
2)The place Jesus promised us (Jn 14:1–4).
①Death, worry and fear.
②Jesus’ guarantee: trust in God, trust also in me.
③A place Jesus prepared.
④ When we leave our flesh, Jesus will come back to take us with Him.
⑤We will live in heaven with Jesus forever.
⑥ Jesus is the only way.
3)Our Father.
①Relationship with God of Old Testament days, and with God of New
Testament days.
② Yahweh God revealed himself to Moses - The Lord Almighty
(Creator, Ruler,and Judge) (Ex 3:14).
③God of New Testament days. We become one with Jesus,
God becomes the seed of life, and we become children of God
(Jn 20:17).
2.The hallowed name of God.
1)God’s nature is holy; worldly things dare not approach (Lev 11:45).
2)The place where God is standing is holy ground.
①Mount Horeb - the burning bush (Ex 3:5).
②At Jordan (Jos 5:15).
③The temple of God (2Ch 7:16).
3.Hallowed be your name.
1)God can’t be more holy than He already is, because He is the most holy
(Isa 5:16).
2)Throughout our life, we should reveal the holy God (1Pe 1:15–16).
3) A life that makes His name hallowed.
①A life that becomes the temple of God (1Co 6:19–20; 1Th 4:3).
②By the Word of God and prayer (1Ti 4:4–5).
③God is enthroned in our praise and worship (Mt 18:20; Ps 22:3).
④Live by the Holy Spirit, fight against the world. Be righteous, honest,
holy, and faithful,and empty evil desires (Gal 5:16; Eph 4:22–23).
Conclusion: Our life and relationship with God our Father should be firmly
established on a holy foundation. Then we can have a true understanding of how to
worship Him and pray with faith.
