Hallowed is your name
Hallowed is your name
Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
When we pray we need to remember who is it we come to
When we pray we need to remember who is it we come to
our heavenly Father who loves us
who calls us is own
who paid the price for us to be adopted as His own
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
With Knowing who we come to we must remember what He has done for us:
With Knowing who we come to we must remember what He has done for us:
Because of what God has done for us our response should be one of worship
Hallowed-
to feel reverence for or to honor as holy—‘to hallow, to regard as holy, to honor as holy.’ ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου ‘hallowed be your name’ or ‘may your name be honored as holy’
It is that declaration “ God you are Holy!”
“Sometimes I go to God and say, "God, if Thou dost never answer another prayer while I live on this earth, I will still worship Thee as long as I live and in the ages to come for what Thou hast done already. God’s already put me so far in debt that if I were to live one million millenniums I couldn’t pay Him for what He’s done for me.”
― A.W. Tozer
We can never repay God for debt that we owe Him
God’s motivation is Love
“It is by Grace you have been saved”
“But God being rich in mercy, because of His Great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead He made us alive.”
“But God so loved the world”
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
What an amazing God we come to in prayer
He deserves our praise
It is being thankful for all that God Has done
Your Kingdom come
sovereignty, royal power
The Bible Knowledge Commentary 6:5–15 (Luke 11:2–4)
The desire for God’s kingdom—Your kingdom come—is based on the assurance that God will fulfill all His covenant promises to His people.
What is God’s Kingdom?
He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”
He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.”
The Kingdom of God first of all it changes the essence of a person.
it changes the way we think
the way we talk
the way we live our lives
It changes the way we love
it changes the way we live as families
it changes the ways we view other people
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
yeast in the flour changes everything about it.
so The kingdom of Heaven in our lives changes everything
The Kingdom brings freedom
Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Slaves-
Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament based on Semantic Domains 37.3 δοῦλος, η, ον
pertaining to a state of being completely controlled by someone or something
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
We no longer have to bow to sin
it no longer gets to say who we are
it longer gets to define us
we have been set free because of the Kingdom of God in our lives
We aren’t slaves living as Sin tells us we should
In death and despair
The fruit in our lives have changed
they no longer lead to death
but to life
It is God kingdom in our lives now
we are set free
We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
We have part in that- Jesus says :
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
Paul would go on to say
All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
