Luke 11:4
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.
KJV
Now let’s get a couple of things clear first. When you enter into prayer you need to be prepared to enter His courts before you begin your petitions. Remember this scripture…
Psalm 66:18
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the [...]
Luke 11:3
Give us day by day our daily bread.
KJV
Alright I had to do some research on this part for a few days so this one took a little longer to gather everything on.
Bread is such an important thing in Jewish culture. This word can mean so many things- hence why we have used it in [...]
Luke 11:3
Give us day by day our daily bread.
KJV
Wow! Isn’t God’s word amazing? It took us 6 posts to get through verse 2! God has been revealing even more to me in my study of this subject and I am so blessed by it- I hope you are.

Luke 11:2
…Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
KJV
Luke 11:2
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.

Oh this is my favorite part! We want the kingdom of heaven to come and His will to be done- where? On Earth- how? Just as it [...]
Luke 11:2
…Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done.
KJV
We’re wanting His kingdom- not man’s kingdom- but His kingdom. To what?… to come! We need it! Our kingdom’s have failed, our kingdom’s become corrupt without His influence. Without the influence of heaven’s government we self destruct.
Not only His kingdom, but His will. We want what He wants. [...]

The next few words in [...]
Luke 11
2) And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven…
KJV
It’s important to remember where the Father is- in heaven. Not on earth, but in heaven. Why was this important enough for Jesus to clarify in this prayer? Because right now what you need you don’t have. Everything [...]
Luke 11
2) And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven…
KJV
So here is where Jesus began to teach the disciples how to pray. He says Our Father.
This is a corporate prayer. He’s not just my Father, or your Father- He’s our Father. Sometimes we get so caught up [...]
Luke 11
1) And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
Don’t read the bible too fast, otherwise you’ll miss important parts of God’s word. Look what [...]
Two suspected Islamist bombings occurred in Uganda today. As of this writing 64 are suspected dead. Everyone who reads this post today- take 60 seconds right now, and say a prayer for those in Uganda. This is a tragic event. Mothers, Fathers, Brothers, Sisters of someone were killed today. Life will be even harder for [...]
