Bro. Leo is out of town this week, so I thought this would be a good time to look back 10 months at the first study of this series and refresh our memories of what we’ve been studying all year.

This week Bro. Leo starts us on a new study series that will guide us and lead us on an individual spiritual journey of discovery.  This series will provoke us to critically think about the teachings in the Bible and how our beliefs compare to those teachings.

In Matt.16:13-17 Jesus ask two questions, 1) who do men(people) say He is, 2) who do you say He is.  Most of the time we are introduced to Jesus and the Bible by friends, family or a religion that we are brought up in.  And our tendency is to believe what we are told, which is good if what we’re being told is the Biblical truth but not good if what we’re being told is in error.  In Vs. 17 Jesus explains that our acknowledgement of who He is must come from God, not man, “flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.”.  It is God who initiates our seeking of who Jesus is, always (John 6:43-44).  It is His Holy Spirit that will teach/reveal to us individually  who Jesus is (John 16:7-9, 13-14).

Our acknowledgement of who Jesus is directly effects our salvation (Matt.16:16, Matt. 10:32-33, Rom.10:9-10, 13).  A personal/individual acknowledgment as a result of a personal divine revelation that results in a personal belief  and commitment that results in a personal outward public confession (Matt. 16:13-17).

We need to ask ourselves if what we believe revealed to us by God or is our beliefs what other people told us to believe (John 18:33-34).

The question we need to be asking ourselves is the question Jesus ask in John 1:38, what are we seeking?  To be seeking we have to recognize a need, an emptiness, something missing, we have to have a perceived need to find something.  If we’re being told by friends, family and religion that we’re fine even if we’re not, we will not seek Jesus.

Ecc. 1:12-14 explains that every one us is given a sense to seek the purpose of life.  Jer. 29:12-14 tells us that God will reveal Himself to us if we truthfully seek Him.

Last week we studied the two aspects of the phrase “THY KINGDOM COME”, 1) the Millennial Reign, 2) Christ reining in our daily lives. This week we study the phrase “Thy Will Be Done”.

When we pray for God’s will to be done, we are praying for His will to be 1) perfectly, 2) completely and 3) willingly, carried out through us. There are two ways to achieve the will of God in our lives, 1) we submit or surrender to God’s will (Rom.7:14-15, 19, 21-23, Gal. 5:17,), 2) we conform to God’s will (Psa.40:8, 2Cor.9:6-7).

In Psa.40:8 the word “delight” is translated from the Hebrew word “châphêts” which means to find pleasure in doing, to have affection for and desire to do, strong attraction for doing and an involvement in doing. The contrast can be found in 2Cor.9:7 in the word “grudgingly” which is translated from the Greek word “lupē” which means cause of grief, sorrow, distress or anxiety. And the word “necessity” which is translated from the Greek word ” anagkē” which means compelled to do things out of obligation or force.

In order to carry out God’s will 1) perfectly, 2) completely and 3) willingly, we must have our will conformed to God’s will or we will be acting out of obligation or force (John 17:21-23, Rom.12:2).

The way we get our will conformed to God’s will is by spending time with Him face to face and talking to Him as a friend (2Cor.3:18, Exo.33:11). Our part is to get alone with God and talk to Him as a friend. God’s part is to reflect His glory through us.

Christianity is not about forced regulations and rules/regulations or going to Church on Sunday. Christianity is about being 1) perfectly, 2) completely and 3) willingly conformed to the will of God (Col.4:12).

2Co 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
2Co 3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
2Co 3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
2Co 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
2Co 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
2Co 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
2Co 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Exo 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

Exo 34:35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

Col 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

This week Bro. Leo continues us on our study of the prayer life of Jesus by looking at the phrase “Thy kingdom come”.

The first aspect of the Kingdom of God is the physical rein on Earth. In Luke 11:2 the word “Kingdom” is translated from the Greek word “basileia” which means royal dominion or rule, Authority to rein over or rule over. So, when we pray for the “Kingdom of God” we are making a personal commitment to serve God.

During the time Jesus walked the Earth the Jewish folks were looking for and expecting the Kingdom of God to be an physical Earthly kingdom ruled by the Jewish Messiah justly and perfectly (Matt.3:1-3, Luke 1:67-69, 71, 74-75, Zec.14:1-7, (9), 11-12, 16017, Acts 1:6, 104, 7, 9-12).

The Jewish folks didn’t understand at that time that Jesus was there at that time to make the sacrifice for our sins (spiritual aspect of the Kingdom- Acts 1:5). It is the return of Jesus (7 years after the rapture of the Church) to Earth that will start the Kingdom of God on Earth (Acts 1:9-12, Rev. 20:1-4, 7, Rev.5:9-10).

The second aspect of the Kingdom of God is the spiritual aspect. In Luke 17:21 the word “within” is translated from the Greek word “entos” which means inside, within. The spiritual aspect of the Kingdom of God came to Earth when Jesus came to earth. Jesus came to Earth to sow the spiritual seeds of the Kingdom of God (Matt.13:31-33, Matt.6:33-34).

When we pray for the Kingdom of God, we are committing ourselves to His authority and His rule and rein in our lives as King of our hearts before He comes back to rein the world (2Cor.10:5, Rev.22:16-17, 19-20).

Act 1:1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Act 1:2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
Act 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Act 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Act 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Act 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

Act 1:12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.

Joh 18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

Joh 18:35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Joh 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Mat 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Mat 13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

This week Bro. Leo continues us on our study of the prayer life of Jesus by looking at the phrase “Hallowed be thy name”.

The word “hallowed” in Luke 11:2 is translated from the Greek word “hagios” which means to hallow, sanctify, to be holy or set apart, consecrated for divine use.

When we make the statement “Hallowed be thy name” we are making a statement to honor and reverence God for who He is, a recognition of His glory and majesty.

The name of God represents all the divine attributes of God (Isa.6:1-3). When we start our prayer with His name with honor and respect, we are acknowledging that He is worthy of our reverence, respect and devotion.

The opposite of honoring His name is to take His name in vain (Exo.20:7). Of all the 10 commandments, the third commandment is the only one that God says He “will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain”. Taking the Lord’s name in vain alters our mindset in a negative way, just as honoring His name alters our mindset in a positive way (Matt.12:36-37).

When we are not honoring the name of God, our mindset can be altered in such a way that we elevate ourselves (Rom.1:21,25).

Rev 7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
