I CHOOSE TO WALK THIS DAY and EVERY DAY IN FORGIVENESS TOWARD EVERYONE. Please grant me, O LORD, the grace, - the enabling grace to forgive quickly and completely. In the precious, wonderful Name of The Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Hi Len,

We who were once enemies of God were reconciled by His forgiveness manifest in the shed blood of His Son. When our repentance was granted, we were then fully restored to God, our Father. In this same way we are called to forgive our enemies and pray for the granting of their repentance. This in a hope that lies far beyond the boundaries of our own space and time that all would be fully restored to God. It is God's goodness that leads us to repentance and in His goodness is the only hope for us all.

Absolutely right. And this is part of the theme I will be posting to and expanding upon in a series of prayers and devotionals.

It is important to remember THE GOD DOES, in fact, have those HE HAS ORDAINED to be a corrective influence amidst the Body, in which there is an anointing TO CONFRONT the powers (and speakings) of evil and the works of the flesh. It's a thankless job, for the most part, CONDEMNED by those who are NOT called to do this, ... and (mostly) misunderstood by those who observe and think it to be "unloving" and certainly: 'unfeminine' and/or 'too strong.'

But wisdom is justified of her children. ... AND GOD's calling and requirements.

thanks again.
with love and prayers.

Morning Len,

All who are called in Christ are called to a thankless job as far as the world is concerned. The world can only behave as the world but we are learning not to behave as the world. When we speak as the oracles of God and behave in accordance with the Spirit and receive persecution of any degree or form, our hearts are to be filled with rejoicing and not bitterness for when we are persecuted for our good works (good works being the works of God not those works of our own choosing)we have been appointed to the sufferings of Christ. Just as He suffered and died for our sins and none of His own, we who suffer as Christ, suffer for the sins of others not counting them against them. This is the Love of Jesus that is not as the world loves. This is the Love that fulfills all the commandments;the Love upon which the Law and the Prophets hang. Any suffering that we endure as a result of our own wrong doing has in Christ been turned to discipline to draw us closer to Him and is not to be suffered in guilt, (for Jesus has born our shame and guilt and paid the ultimate price for all of our sins) but also in rejoicing in knowing that as beloved children of God, our Heavenly Father disciplines us for our own good.

There is no limit to the forgiveness we have in Christ; our sins are caste away as far as the east is from the west. We are free to walk in newness of life and this freedom is newly and more fully realized with the dawning of each new day as we continue to grow in Christ.

Yes, I did, Len. Sorry if it didn't come out that way. If I didn't enjoy it, I would have had no thoughts on it in response.:0)

Len, this article is timely for me as I was just renewing my affection for that prayer, and using it to guide my prayers. I don't always verbalize a prayer. Usually, it is just thoughts or phrases, or amens.
Recently, I have really grown in my appreciation for Jesus sample prayer, not that we should vainly repeat it and reduce it to a mindless babble, but that we should dive into it and search it out and make it our own, by revelation.

Ripening,
Trent

Thanks for the comments. Yes, I think *the pattern of the LORD'S PRAYER* is a very powerful means of approaching GOD in our petitions for our own growth and needs, ... as well as intercession for the needs of others.

Look for Part 2 which I will type and finish a little later. - It deals with the vital area of OVERCOMING, ... and DELIVERANCE from evil.

Our father in Heaven, holy be your name....

Our father in heaven is not the same as Jehovah.
In which case the lord's prayer could have been.

Our jehovah in heaven, holy be your name.....

The sprirt of our father in heaven is Rauch hakodesh in Hebrew and the spirit of Jehovah is shakinah in hebrew. I think both are not the same.

Please clarify

I have found that Trent or Gracehead does not want to know the truth. If you present proof against them they block you, and definitely will not respond to find out the error of their ways.

What's the diff between:
God (Elohim) and God (El)
Hint: Plural and Singular

I think the important thing to Trent and Timothy is that this is mostly (now) a site where they both set-forth THE PROPHETIC WORD that Timothy is receiving. It is NOT a place of endless debate and attempts "to prove" how ""wrong"" either of them MIGHT be on any particular doctrine or statement. It is a place FOR SHARING biblical insights and prophetic warnings of impending judgments in the earth.
Also: as to GOD'S NAME: it is clear to me that the most nearly correct HEBREW TRANSLITERATION OF GOD'S NAME {HaShem} would be:
YahwA
YahOvah
Yah hoo vah
Yah hoo wA
or
Yah ha vah ! - THE ETERNAL I AM THAT I AM l!

people, of course, can argue endlessly about PRECISELY WHICH Name is more accurate, ... but I am sure GOD honors ALL of them when we call upon Him in truth and with all sincerity.

in the Name of
Yeshua - Yahshua - YahOshua,
YAH hoo SHUA, -
THE ONLY MESSIAH & SAVIOUR.
