Matthew 6:9-13 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.



He "art IN heaven" and He "dwells IN heaven." Where is heaven? Where His kingdom is and we are His kingdom...He dwells in us, in His heaven.


11 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.​


Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.


Psalm 145:13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all.

Luke 17:20-21 And when He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.​

Give us this day our daily bread.

He feeds us as we mature, knowing what we are able to absorb. He feeds us daily. As manna was given daily to the Israelites in the wilderness....He feeds us just the right amount so none of those that search are hungry and none overfed...

John 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.​


And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Our debts. Here debts is a metaphor for sin...trespasses.

Matthew 6:14-15 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.​


And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:




We are all to be proven.....

Deuteronomy 13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

But, if we don't hearken unto the words of false prophets then we are not lead into temptation....

Revelation 3:10 [b ]Because thou hast kept the word[/b] of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

We keep His Word for it tells us what to expect in the last days and because we do...we shall not be tempted by the deceiver. We are delivered from him, from evil.​


For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
