“Thy Kingdom Come”–The Gospel of the Kingdom of God

The true gospel is the good news of our Father’s government literally coming to fill the whole earth with His righteous ways.  
Christ in this section of the “Lord’s Prayer” teaches us the importance of the Father’s kingdom.  A kingdom is a literal form of government headed by a monarch.  He is the King.  Thy kingdom come…in earth as it is in heaven.  His kingdom [...]

Hallowed Be Thy Name, Yahweh

Your Father’s name is Yahweh–if you consider yourself a child of the Hebrew God of the Bible. 
Christ is saying in the “Lord’s Prayer” that the Father’s name is “hallowed,” holy and extremely special.  How are we to appreciate it and make it holy if we don’t even know the Father’s name?
 Not many know that the Hebrew God of [...]

“Which Art in Heaven”–God’s from Above, Not Beneath

Our Father is the God of heaven, not born of the imagination of earthly man.  This is what we are to take away from the words in the Lord’s prayer, “Which art in heaven.”  There are “gods many, but for us there is only one God.”  These “gods many” are conjured up by natural unregenerated man–”cunningly devised fables,” false [...]

Christ told the Pharisees, who were very religious, “You seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth…You are of your father the devil…a murderer from the beginning…a liar, and [...]

The Lord’s Prayer–Blueprint for Building God’s Temple–Us

It’s a blueprint showing us how to become the habitation of God.  It is not a ritualistic chant. 
An architect’s blueprint contains blue lines and white paper that to the trained eye reveal what the building should look like. 
The Lord’s prayer is a spiritual blueprint that shows us what the temple of God looks like and how to build it.  [...]

The Lord’s Prayer Is NOT an Incantation, Chant, or Ritual

There’s no magical powers in repeating the Lord’s Prayer.  And let’s face it.  Churchianity has reduced it to a chant, to a ritual of repetitious words with the intent that –poof!–magically our sins are forgiven or our requests are granted.  Please.
Chanting the Lord’s Prayer is taking his blueprint for prayer and using it as a [...]

The Immortal One (A New Song for the Time of the End)

 
Be quiet, they were saying.  The Immortal One is about
to speak.  Come on.  We want to see him.  We want to see the man who healed our land and helped us through the end.  Sit down in front!  We want to see!
  
And then he appeared at the bottom of the natural
amphitheater of grass that [...]
