Who is in heaven . . .“Our Father who is in heaven,” releases a son from any earthly father’s shortcomings. There will be no hindrance in our conversation because of a father’s bad mood or because of an earthly father’s personal guilt or distraction or misunderstanding or prejudiced opinion or unjust anger or mistaken views or lack of foresight. His being in heaven declares His Divine Supremacy while removing all human limitations. We are praying to a powerful Father, the Father who is situated above all, the Father who controls the universe, the Father who is almighty, the Father who is subject to none, the Father who prevails over all. Praying as a son changes the posture, scope and expectations in prayer.

As the people of God assemble today may the Holy Spirit work by the Word of God to convict of unrighteousness and help us to align with righteousness and the plans and workings of our Lord in this season in the earth.
“Life is in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), and in its pathway there is no death but immortality (perpetual, eternal life).” (Prov.12:28, Amp)

(Kathy) As I searched the scriptures, I found the Kingdom of God (or Kingdom of Heaven) could refer to three things: 1) The place where God dwells and reigns eternally, 2) God’s AUTHORITY & POWER ruling on earth, and 3) the company of people who have submitted their lives to God’s authority, both now and eternally. Jesus preached and emphasized the second aspect, God’s AUTHORITY and POWER ruling on earth. That is why He said to some as He healed them, “The Kingdom has come upon you.” The Kingdom of God is in evidence wherever God’s AUTHORITY and POWER are manifested on earth.

Our Father . . . The first emphasis in Jesus’ instruction was to start prayer from the “Our Father” position of a 
son to his father. This places priority on relationship rather than protocol and on heritage rather than hierarchy. Relationship assures us we can be confident of acceptance when we approach Him personally, face to face. Lack of relationship (1) leaves us unsure and at a distance, (2) a questionable guest in the throne room or (3) a needy outsider having to beg. Coming face to face is about knowing our Father well enough to see as He sees. If we don’t come face to face, we position ourselves on the peripheral where we are susceptible prey for misbeliefs about God. When men are too far away to really know Him as a son, they are more apt to lean to their own understanding and create images from their own imagination and experience, like the ancient Greeks did. The gods they created had so many human flaws that their supernatural powers over men were distorted to extremes by emotion and whim. If misbelief misrepresents God, it corrupts the potential and purpose of relationship and the motivation of the heart. Then there is no sonship and no “Our Father” entrance into the dimension of prayer Jesus taught.

We are not involved merely in an attempt to get some people to heaven, we are part of a great plan to bring the rule of God into present circumstances. People don’t just need a ticket to heaven in the by and by, they need the rule of God now in their bodies, families, finances and workplace. It is one thing to speak of the wonderful goings-on around the throne of God and what it is going to be like “some glorious day,” but it is to the glory of the Father to give present testimony of lives and circumstances invaded by that wonderful realm.

While the most common understanding of prayer is an appeal or petition, I think The Lord’s Prayer illustrates a broader concept of prayer. I see it as a prayer of alignment with God’s Word and will and character, or a declaration of agreement with God’s order and principles and intent. If I viewed The Lord’s Prayer only as a petition, it would seem to be a formal format of how to properly ask for basic necessities. While there is nothing wrong with that, I think there is more life in it and more relationship demonstrated in His model prayer. This prayer takes on more dimension when it comes from a motive and priority to pray as sons who know and reflect their Father.

As we read Matthew 6 and Luke 10, we find Jesus teaching the disciples to pray. The verses leading up to the actual prayer reveal firstly what prayer is not. Prayer is not practicing your righteousness before men. Prayer is not using surplus words trying to cover your bases. Prayer is not from any motive that would manipulate God or man. Then, Jesus gives directions to His disciples on how to communicate with the Father. His instruction becomes a model for us known as “The Lord’s Prayer”.

As the people of God assemble today may people who have been no more than mere attenders realize that they are called to be an active participant in the local house and its expression in the community. May they realize that they are to become participants in the giving of their time, effort and resources.

The walls of Jericho, though formidable as they were, could not prevail and keep Israel out of where Israel was supposed to be. Those walls held great fame in the land. They were not something anyone or anyone’s army would even attempt to breach. Israel did not even have to breach the walls. The supremacy of the authority and presence of God and the glory of God breached the walls so that they fell down flat.
“By faith, the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho for seven days, and the walls fell flat.” (Heb.11:30, Msg)

We have appointments to get to in 2015. If we listen to what seems to be apparent and logical and reasonable and live according to those things, it is possible that we will not get to God-ordained appointments. Trying to live by what others say can result in the sad report of Acts 27:20 “all hope was taken away”—that is the point at which people give up and stop trying. For the coming days of our lives we best listen and take Paul’s example and Paul’s instruction who said “I …believe God” (Acts 27:25) and “…The Word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart”… (Rom.10:8, NKJV). Let’s stop trying to live by things said BY OTHERS and start living by things said BY US. (Cf. Prov.15:30; 18:21)

Why are our words, thoughts and attitudes so important? Because they are registered somewhere in our mortal bodies. They affect us as well as others. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” (Prov.23:7a, NKJV) “Words are not mere words, you know. If they’re not backed by a godly life, they accumulate as poison in the soul.” (2Tim.2:16b-17a, Msg) (cf.Prov.18:21, Msg)

From the stormy Acts 27 account Paul decided, in the midst of a dangerous situation, to not live by things said BY OTHERS. The foundational thing he said was in v.25 “I believe God”. He believed the thing said in v.24 “you must be brought before Caesar”; and HE SAID that thing also. Other things he said that were contrary to what was apparent: v.22 “there shall be no loss”; v.24 “fear not”; v.24 “all will be saved”. All the other 275 people and their authorities (unbelievers) were crying out contrary things but Paul did not live according to what they said; he lived according to what he had been instructed and what he had been instructed, HE SAID. Not only did Paul firmly stand on what HE SAID but, eventually, those in authority began to say what he said and all were saved.

As the people of God assemble today may there be people who discover that the people of God care about them and what they are going through. May there be assurances that each is standing with the other to get to the other side of the lake in spite of the storm.
“So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaptation [of the parts of the body to each other], but the members all alike should have a mutual interest in and care for one another.” (1Cor.12:25, Amp)

As we release others, dead or alive, from what they owe us in apology for pain, hassle, grief or injustice, we are freed up from the debt we have built. Debt erased from our future will change it. Forgiveness is an investment in your future.—KG

Who is in heaven . . .“Our Father who is in heaven,” releases a son from any earthly father’s shortcomings. There will be no hindrance in our conversation because of a father’s bad mood or because of an earthly father’s personal guilt or distraction or misunderstanding or prejudiced opinion or unjust anger or mistaken views or lack of foresight. His being in heaven declares His Divine Supremacy while removing all human limitations. We are praying to a powerful Father, the Father who is situated above all, the Father who controls the universe, the Father who is almighty, the Father who is subject to none, the Father who prevails over all. Praying as a son changes the posture, scope and expectations in prayer.

son to his father. This places priority on relationship rather than protocol and on heritage rather than hierarchy. Relationship assures us we can be confident of acceptance when we approach Him personally, face to face. Lack of relationship (1) leaves us unsure and at a distance, (2) a questionable guest in the throne room or (3) a needy outsider having to beg. Coming face to face is about knowing our Father well enough to see as He sees. If we don’t come face to face, we position ourselves on the peripheral where we are susceptible prey for misbeliefs about God. When men are too far away to really know Him as a son, they are more apt to lean to their own understanding and create images from their own imagination and experience, like the ancient Greeks did. The gods they created had so many human flaws that their supernatural powers over men were distorted to extremes by emotion and whim. If misbelief misrepresents God, it corrupts the potential and purpose of relationship and the motivation of the heart. Then there is no sonship and no “Our Father” entrance into the dimension of prayer Jesus taught. 
Jim Hodges will be speaking at the Kingdom Equipping
While the most common understanding of prayer is an appeal or petition, I think The Lord’s Prayer illustrates a broader concept of prayer. I see it as a prayer of alignment with God’s Word and will and character, or a declaration of agreement with God’s order and principles and intent. If I viewed The Lord’s Prayer only as a petition, it would seem to be a formal format of how to properly ask for basic necessities. While there is nothing wrong with that, I think there is more life in it and more relationship demonstrated in His model prayer. This prayer takes on more dimension when it comes from a motive and priority to pray as sons who know and reflect their Father.
As we read Matthew 6 and Luke 10, we find Jesus teaching the disciples to pray. The verses leading up to the actual prayer reveal firstly what prayer is not. Prayer is not practicing your righteousness before men. Prayer is not using surplus words trying to cover your bases. Prayer is not from any motive that would manipulate God or man. Then, Jesus gives directions to His disciples on how to communicate with the Father. His instruction becomes a model for us known as “The Lord’s Prayer”.
Why are our words, thoughts and attitudes so important? Because they are registered somewhere in our mortal bodies. They affect us as well as others. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” (Prov.23:7a, NKJV) “Words are not mere words, you know. If they’re not backed by a godly life, they accumulate as poison in the soul.” (2Tim.2:16b-17a, Msg) (cf.Prov.18:21, Msg)
