Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

The Prayer, The Problem and Our Part!

A Sermon by

Servant BK Woodson, Sr

Don’t Tempt Oakland Weekend

This is the most important prayer a believer can pray… because it is the one Jesus taught us to pray!

We should understand it not just repeat it.

I. The Prayer:One way is to see it as six imperatives:1. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed

be thy name.2. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in

earth, as it is in heaven.3. Give us this day our daily bread.4. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our

debtors.5. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver

us from evil: 6. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and

the glory, for ever

This Prayer has two active participants…

a. There is what God is asked to do…

b. There is what we are required to do

Are we in Egypt or in Persia?

Our children will suffer and die!

c. To take up the cross means to suffer for someone else.
