1
\n00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:06,120
\nGood morning Britain and sisters
\nthis morning so to have a look <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:06,120 –> 00:00:11,080
\nat the Lord’s Prayer in the
\ncontext of our Psalm study. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:13,000 –> 00:00:16,440
\nThe Lord’s Prayer, which we all
\nknow by heart, is a beautiful <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:16,440 –> 00:00:21,800
\nand a powerful prayer and was
\ngiven by the Lord Jesus to his <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:22,200 –> 00:00:26,360
\ndisciples to pray when they
\nasked him teach us how to pray. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:27,240 –> 00:00:29,280
\nMany people know this prayer by
\nheart. <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:29,920 –> 00:00:33,680
\nNot only Christadelphians but
\nmost church attending Christians<\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:34,320 –> 00:00:37,080
\nknow this prayer by heart.
\nI learnt in the Dutch Reformed <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:37,080 –> 00:00:40,000
\nChurch and still know it by
\nheart in in Dutch. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:42,720 –> 00:00:47,960
\nBut because we know this prayer
\nso well, there’s a danger that <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:47,960 –> 00:00:52,800
\nwe don’t always think about what
\nwe are saying to our Heavenly <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:52,800 –> 00:00:56,640
\nFather and breaking off to start
\ntheir prayer. <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:56,640 –> 00:01:01,000
\nWe come before thy throne of
\ngrace, but you’ll be able to <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:01,000 –> 00:01:02,800
\ncome before the throne of Queen
\nElizabeth. <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:02,800 –> 00:01:05,160
\nYou can’t say hi, old girl.
\nHow are you going today? <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:06,080 –> 00:01:08,840
\nBecause you talk in a different
\nway, don’t you? <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:10,920 –> 00:01:14,760
\nI’ve learned something from the
\nJewish people who in the <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:15,040 –> 00:01:20,400
\nsynagogues have got a saying.
\nEvery synagogue has that a <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:20,400 –> 00:01:29,560
\nsaying in Hebrew which says DA
\nlivne MI Atta omed no before <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:29,720 –> 00:01:35,880
\nwhom thou standest.
\nAnd that is very good advice <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:35,880 –> 00:01:38,920
\nbecause if you realise when we
\npray, we actually present <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:38,920 –> 00:01:42,760
\nourselves before the Almighty,
\nbefore whom nations are counted <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:42,760 –> 00:01:45,840
\nas a drop in the bucket, that
\nyou will be more careful <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:46,480 –> 00:01:48,640
\nthinking how to address the
\nAlmighty. <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:49,440 –> 00:01:53,280
\nBecause actually I’m, I’m not
\nhere to criticise anybody’s <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:53,280 –> 00:01:55,440
\nprayer.
\nI’m struggling myself still with<\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:55,440 –> 00:01:59,880
\nit.
\nBut we often suit our prayers to<\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:59,880 –> 00:02:01,960
\nthe situation which we find
\nourselves. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:01,960 –> 00:02:06,800
\nWe have this meeting in mind or
\nat home we pray differently. <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:06,800 –> 00:02:09,000
\nWe for our children, we pray
\ndifferently. <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:09,000 –> 00:02:12,680
\nWe seem to pray more towards the
\norders than sometimes to God. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:13,760 –> 00:02:16,320
\nIt’s just something to to think
\nabout. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:17,120 –> 00:02:22,200
\nIt says in Ecclesiastes chapter
\n5, Keep thy food when thou goest<\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:22,200 –> 00:02:26,400
\nto the House of God, and be more
\nready to hear than to give the <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:26,400 –> 00:02:30,680
\nsacrifice of of fools, for they
\nconsider not that they do evil. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:31,080 –> 00:02:36,360
\nWe need to consider when we come
\nto the House of God and how we <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:36,400 –> 00:02:40,600
\naddress the Almighty.
\nThe Lord’s Prayer is a beautiful<\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:40,600 –> 00:02:44,000
\nprayer, and if we meditate on
\nits words and mean it with all <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:44,000 –> 00:02:47,760
\nour hearts still.
\nWhen I was preparing for this <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:47,760 –> 00:02:54,120
\nstudy on the Psalms and thought
\nagain of the Lord’s Prayer, when<\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:54,120 –> 00:02:58,760
\nthey asked Jesus teach us how to
\npray, why did Jesus not turn <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:58,760 –> 00:03:00,760
\ntheir attention to the book of
\nPsalms? <\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:00,760 –> 00:03:03,320
\nYou’ve got a whole prayer book
\nin the middle of our Bible. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:05,200 –> 00:03:09,120
\nIt has been said that the prayer
\nis a kind of template on which <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:09,120 –> 00:03:13,360
\nwe can form our own prayers.
\nAnd as perhaps indicated by the <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:13,360 –> 00:03:17,440
\nword of Jesus when He introduced
\nthis praise, that after this <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:17,440 –> 00:03:23,880
\nmanner, therefore praying, It’s
\na manner He didn’t say say only <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:23,880 –> 00:03:29,600
\nthis prayer, but He sets out a
\nmanner in which we ought to <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:29,600 –> 00:03:33,200
\npray.
\nIf you go to Matthew chapter 6, <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:33,200 –> 00:03:37,400
\nI’m sure you know this all by
\nheart, but still good to look at<\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:37,400 –> 00:03:43,600
\nit.
\nWe have to prayer there in verse<\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:43,600 –> 00:03:53,840
\n9 of Matthew 6 and verse 9 after
\nthis manner. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:54,360 –> 00:03:58,040
\nFollow this pattern.
\nIt seems to indicate to me, <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:58,280 –> 00:04:04,440
\npraying aside, this our Father,
\nwhich art in heaven, hallowed be<\/p>\n

55
\n00:04:04,440 –> 00:04:09,120
\nThy name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy
\nwill be done in earth as it is <\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:09,120 –> 00:04:11,560
\nin heaven.
\nGive us this day Our Daily <\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:11,560 –> 00:04:15,000
\nBread, and forgive us our debts,
\nas we forgive our debtors, and <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:15,000 –> 00:04:18,320
\nlead us not into temptation, but
\ndeliver us from evil. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:18,320 –> 00:04:22,240
\nFor then is the Kingdom and the
\npower and the glory forever. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:22,760 –> 00:04:26,520
\nAmen.
\nShould the prayer start, just <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:26,520 –> 00:04:30,320
\nlike the prayer of David, which
\nwe just read in One Chronicles <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:30,320 –> 00:04:38,360
\nchapter 29, with giving God the
\nhonour He deserves, It’s <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:38,360 –> 00:04:42,520
\nfollowed by three petitions
\nwhich put God at the centre as a<\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:42,520 –> 00:04:47,600
\nfather and not ourselves.
\nIt says hallowed be thy name, <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:48,440 –> 00:04:54,760
\nit’s thy Kingdom come, Thy will
\nbe done on earth as it is in <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:54,760 –> 00:04:57,080
\nheaven.
\nSo the prayer begins with the <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:57,080 –> 00:05:02,080
\nemphasis on thy God’s name,
\nGod’s Kingdom, God’s will. <\/p>\n

68
\n00:05:02,200 –> 00:05:08,320
\nThat needs to be done, and only
\nthen do we turn to our present, <\/p>\n

69
\n00:05:08,760 –> 00:05:15,720
\nour past, and our future needs.
\nGive us this day, Our Daily <\/p>\n

70
\n00:05:15,800 –> 00:05:18,160
\nBread.
\nWe’d need that today, don’t we? <\/p>\n

71
\n00:05:18,560 –> 00:05:20,640
\nAnd God provides it every day
\nfor us. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:05:21,280 –> 00:05:25,800
\nThen forgive us our debts.
\nAs we forgive our debtors the <\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:25,800 –> 00:05:30,880
\nthings we’ve done in the past,
\nwe ask God to forgive, and then <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:30,880 –> 00:05:35,080
\nwe look to the future, lead us
\nnot into temptation, but deliver<\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:35,080 –> 00:05:38,840
\nus from evil.
\nSo the empty is now on us, our <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:38,840 –> 00:05:44,440
\nbread, our debts, and lead us
\nnot into temptation to ask them <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:44,440 –> 00:05:47,160
\nfor food.
\nWe need it at the present. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:47,560 –> 00:05:51,320
\nWe pray for forgiveness of our
\nsins which we have committed, <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:51,640 –> 00:05:53,520
\nand we ask for help in the
\nfuture. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:53,520 –> 00:05:56,800
\nWe lay As for all our life
\nbefore God. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:57,240 –> 00:06:02,680
\nAnd finally, we pray for the
\nKingdom to come, and a prayer <\/p>\n

82
\n00:06:02,680 –> 00:06:05,560
\nset us then before us the
\nglorious future of the Saints <\/p>\n

83
\n00:06:05,560 –> 00:06:10,160
\nand indeed of the whole world.
\nSo that is a pattern which Jesus<\/p>\n

84
\n00:06:10,400 –> 00:06:13,840
\nundoubtedly learned from the
\nPsalms and from the prayer of <\/p>\n

85
\n00:06:13,840 –> 00:06:19,000
\nDavid in Chronicles 29.
\nAnd it’s perhaps a pattern on <\/p>\n

86
\n00:06:19,000 –> 00:06:24,520
\nwhich we should form or compose
\nour own prayers. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:25,440 –> 00:06:29,920
\nSo let’s have a look then at all
\nthe different sayings in this <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:29,920 –> 00:06:33,240
\nprayer.
\nIt starts with our father. <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:34,920 –> 00:06:41,400
\nNow, the phrase our father is
\nrarely used for God in the Old <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:41,400 –> 00:06:44,720
\nTestament, although God, of
\ncourse, was a father to Israel, <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:45,000 –> 00:06:48,200
\nand he often refers to Israel as
\nhis sons. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:48,720 –> 00:06:52,200
\nMoses said in Deuteronomy
\nchapter 14, Ye are the children <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:52,200 –> 00:06:56,400
\nof Yahweh U Alabin.
\nSo it implies that God was a <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:56,400 –> 00:07:01,680
\nfather to Israel.
\nJeremiah plainly says that God <\/p>\n

95
\n00:07:01,680 –> 00:07:07,080
\nwas Israel’s father said I am a
\nfather to Israel and Ephraim is <\/p>\n

96
\n00:07:07,080 –> 00:07:10,960
\nmy first born.
\nRemember. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:07:11,600 –> 00:07:14,200
\nWell, let’s turn that to Hosea
\nChapter 11. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:07:14,640 –> 00:07:20,680
\nThey looked at our first evening
\nstudy when it was said in <\/p>\n

99
\n00:07:20,680 –> 00:07:26,640
\nMatthew that’s I have called my
\nson out of Egypt and I asked him<\/p>\n

100
\n00:07:26,640 –> 00:07:29,840
\nthe question why did the crowd
\nnot come from Exodus but from <\/p>\n

101
\n00:07:29,840 –> 00:07:38,480
\nHosea, But in in Hosea, God
\nreveals himself as a father when<\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:38,480 –> 00:07:44,520
\nIsrael was a child says Yahweh.
\nI loved him and I called my son <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:44,560 –> 00:07:47,480
\nout of Egypt.
\nVerse three. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:47,680 –> 00:07:51,840
\nI thought if I’m also to walk to
\ngo talking them by their arms, <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:52,240 –> 00:07:53,960
\nbut they knew not that I healed
\nhim. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:54,400 –> 00:07:59,800
\nI drew them with chords of a man
\nwith bends of love, but I asked <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:59,800 –> 00:08:03,040
\nto them to take off the yoke of
\ntheir jaws, and I laid meat unto<\/p>\n

108
\n00:08:03,040 –> 00:08:06,640
\nthem.
\nSo this despite their rebellion,<\/p>\n

109
\n00:08:06,920 –> 00:08:12,040
\nGod has revealed himself as a
\nfather to Israel, like you to go<\/p>\n

110
\n00:08:12,040 –> 00:08:20,800
\nto Isaiah chapter 63.
\nIn Isaiah chapter 63 <\/p>\n

111
\n00:08:34,620 –> 00:08:38,419
\nhere Isaiah is crying out to
\nGod. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:08:39,340 –> 00:08:44,420
\nHe says look down from heaven
\nand behold sorry 1st 10 first, <\/p>\n

113
\n00:08:44,500 –> 00:08:47,300
\nfirst ten.
\nHe said surely they are my <\/p>\n

114
\n00:08:47,300 –> 00:08:49,940
\npeople.
\nThat is God himself speaking. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:08:49,940 –> 00:08:53,580
\nSurely they are my people,
\nchildren that cannot lie. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:08:54,060 –> 00:08:58,040
\nSo He became their Saviour.
\nIn all their affliction He was <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:58,040 –> 00:09:00,960
\nafflicted, and the age of His
\npresence saved them. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:09:01,280 –> 00:09:04,680
\nIn His love and in His pity He
\nredeemed them, and He bared <\/p>\n

119
\n00:09:04,680 –> 00:09:06,920
\nthem.
\nHe carried them all the days of <\/p>\n

120
\n00:09:06,960 –> 00:09:11,080
\nold.
\nAnd that is what’s at first aid.<\/p>\n

121
\n00:09:11,080 –> 00:09:12,680
\nSorry, it was starting at first
\naid. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:09:12,680 –> 00:09:16,880
\nAnd so God looked after Israel
\nas a father does. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:09:18,360 –> 00:09:21,840
\nIn their affliction He was
\nafflicted. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:09:22,120 –> 00:09:24,640
\nWhen our children suffer, we
\nsuffer with them. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:09:25,360 –> 00:09:28,280
\nAnd he, he, he bared them, and
\nhe and he carried them. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:09:28,280 –> 00:09:30,680
\nWhen the children are small,
\nthey get tight, and you put them<\/p>\n

127
\n00:09:30,680 –> 00:09:33,240
\non your shoulders.
\nThat’s what the Father does. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:09:33,520 –> 00:09:36,880
\nAnd and that is how God dealt
\nwith his people. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:09:37,560 –> 00:09:42,760
\nBut they rebelled and vexed His
\nHoly Spirit that he was turned <\/p>\n

130
\n00:09:42,760 –> 00:09:44,880
\nto be their enemy, and he fought
\nagainst them. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:44,880 –> 00:09:48,760
\nAnd perhaps we have here an
\nindication that in the following<\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:48,760 –> 00:09:53,320
\nverses the Gentiles will call
\nGod their Father. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:55,360 –> 00:10:00,560
\nIt says in verse 15, Look down
\nfrom heaven, and behold from the<\/p>\n

134
\n00:10:00,560 –> 00:10:04,760
\nhabitation of thy holiness and
\nof thy glory, where is thy zeal <\/p>\n

135
\n00:10:04,760 –> 00:10:08,160
\nand thy strength, The sounding
\nof thy bells, and of thy mercies<\/p>\n

136
\n00:10:08,160 –> 00:10:10,320
\ntoward me?
\nAre they restrained? <\/p>\n

137
\n00:10:10,960 –> 00:10:14,880
\nDoubtless thou art our Father.
\nWho’s saying it? <\/p>\n

138
\n00:10:16,120 –> 00:10:21,120
\nThough Abraham be ignorant of
\nus, and Israel acknowledge us <\/p>\n

139
\n00:10:21,120 –> 00:10:26,160
\nnot, the Jews don’t acknowledge
\nus as having a right to the hope<\/p>\n

140
\n00:10:26,200 –> 00:10:31,120
\nof Israel.
\nWith thou Yahweh art our Father,<\/p>\n

141
\n00:10:32,520 –> 00:10:37,040
\nour Redeemer.
\nThy name is from everlasting. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:10:38,280 –> 00:10:41,800
\nAnd it used to have to be
\nbrought back to God in such a <\/p>\n

143
\n00:10:41,800 –> 00:10:45,880
\ndramatic way that they all cry
\nout to Him as a father in the <\/p>\n

144
\n00:10:45,880 –> 00:10:51,880
\nnext chapter 64 and verse 8
\nsays, But now Yahweh says, <\/p>\n

145
\n00:10:51,880 –> 00:10:56,800
\nIsrael, thou art our father, we
\nare the clay, and thou our <\/p>\n

146
\n00:10:56,800 –> 00:10:59,320
\npotty, We all the work of thy
\nhand. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:10:59,520 –> 00:11:03,240
\nBe not wroth very sore Yahweh
\nnot to remember iniquity <\/p>\n

148
\n00:11:03,240 –> 00:11:06,520
\nforever.
\nBehold, see, we beseech thee, we<\/p>\n

149
\n00:11:06,520 –> 00:11:10,800
\nare all thy people.
\nAnd Israel have to be brought <\/p>\n

150
\n00:11:10,800 –> 00:11:15,880
\nback to that frame of mind as
\nthe prodigal son, which returns <\/p>\n

151
\n00:11:15,880 –> 00:11:19,800
\nto his father.
\nBut it was David who for the <\/p>\n

152
\n00:11:19,800 –> 00:11:23,520
\nfirst time addressed Goddess our
\nfather. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:11:23,520 –> 00:11:26,840
\nWe just read it in One
\nChronicles 29 and verse 10. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:11:27,480 –> 00:11:29,440
\nAnd that’s how David started his
\nprayer. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:11:29,560 –> 00:11:33,320
\nLet’s go back to One Chronicles
\njust to have it fresh in our <\/p>\n

156
\n00:11:33,320 –> 00:11:42,000
\nmind again, because there we
\nhave David’s prayer in verse 10.<\/p>\n

157
\n00:11:42,600 –> 00:11:46,680
\nAfter all the people offered
\nwillingly and here is his prayer<\/p>\n

158
\n00:11:46,680 –> 00:11:49,520
\nand it starts like the Lord’s
\nPrayer first. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:49,520 –> 00:11:52,040
\nThen therefore David blessed
\nYahweh before all the <\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:52,040 –> 00:11:57,120
\ncongregation.
\nAnd David said, how did he start<\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:57,120 –> 00:12:00,240
\nhis prayer?
\nBlessed thou Yahweh, elim of <\/p>\n

162
\n00:12:00,240 –> 00:12:05,760
\nIsrael, our Father forever and
\never. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:12:08,800 –> 00:12:16,840
\nBut it was really Jesus who
\ncalled his Father ABBA for the <\/p>\n

164
\n00:12:16,840 –> 00:12:19,600
\nfirst time.
\nHe said in the Garden of <\/p>\n

165
\n00:12:19,600 –> 00:12:24,160
\nGethsemane, ABBA, Father, all
\nthings are possible unto thee. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:12:24,520 –> 00:12:28,320
\nTake away this cup from me.
\nNeveness not what I will, but <\/p>\n

167
\n00:12:28,320 –> 00:12:31,960
\nwhat thou wilt.
\nThy will be done. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:12:32,680 –> 00:12:37,880
\nLet me live in Israel.
\nMy children called me ABBA, and <\/p>\n

169
\n00:12:37,880 –> 00:12:43,000
\nthey called Catherine IMA.
\nThat’s how you say mum and dad. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:12:43,760 –> 00:12:48,680
\nABBA simply means daddy.
\nAnd I love it when my children <\/p>\n

171
\n00:12:48,680 –> 00:12:52,880
\ncall me ABBA or daddy and they
\nwant to call me daddy because <\/p>\n

172
\n00:12:52,880 –> 00:12:56,640
\nthey know that I love them and
\nthey also know that I’ll respond<\/p>\n

173
\n00:12:56,920 –> 00:13:00,320
\nand help them when necessary.
\nAnd so it is with God. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:13:00,320 –> 00:13:07,440
\nHe wants to be our daddy and He
\nwants us to treat him like that.<\/p>\n

175
\n00:13:07,560 –> 00:13:10,480
\nNot in a familiar way.
\nWe can just have a Rumbo stumbo <\/p>\n

176
\n00:13:10,480 –> 00:13:13,800
\nissue, kids.
\nBut it’s this close relationship<\/p>\n

177
\n00:13:13,800 –> 00:13:20,880
\nof a son with his Father,
\nbecause when Jesus first says <\/p>\n

178
\n00:13:20,880 –> 00:13:25,320
\nit, he didn’t say the prayer
\ndoesn’t start with my Father, it<\/p>\n

179
\n00:13:25,320 –> 00:13:31,080
\nstarts with our Father.
\nWe are not an only child. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:13:31,680 –> 00:13:36,320
\nWe have brethren and sisters and
\nit is good to pray together. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:13:36,320 –> 00:13:40,600
\nSo starting our prayer with our
\nFather make us thinks about our <\/p>\n

182
\n00:13:40,600 –> 00:13:44,760
\nrelationship not only with God,
\nbut also with our brethren and <\/p>\n

183
\n00:13:44,760 –> 00:13:47,840
\nsisters.
\nAnd only through Jesus, of <\/p>\n

184
\n00:13:47,840 –> 00:13:52,240
\ncourse, that we can address God
\nas our Father. <\/p>\n

185
\n00:13:52,240 –> 00:13:55,800
\nAnd that’s the reason why Jesus
\nintroduced this prayer. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:13:55,800 –> 00:14:01,840
\nI believe it’s through his death
\nwe are reconciled to God. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:14:02,360 –> 00:14:05,480
\nAnd if we’re only through the
\nsacrifice of Christ, can we <\/p>\n

188
\n00:14:05,480 –> 00:14:09,400
\napproach God in prayer?
\nIt doesn’t brush aside the use <\/p>\n

189
\n00:14:09,400 –> 00:14:12,880
\nof the Psalms, but it gives us
\nan opportunity to deepen our <\/p>\n

190
\n00:14:12,880 –> 00:14:16,640
\nunderstanding of the Spirit of
\nChrist that is in the Psalms, in<\/p>\n

191
\n00:14:16,640 –> 00:14:18,680
\nthe hymns and the spiritual
\nsongs. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:14:19,480 –> 00:14:23,720
\nThe disciples of course didn’t
\nat that time fully understand <\/p>\n

193
\n00:14:24,280 –> 00:14:28,800
\nthe Psalms because Jesus hadn’t
\novercome sin and death yet. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:14:30,640 –> 00:14:34,760
\nJesus first had to fulfil all
\nwhat was written in the Psalms <\/p>\n

195
\n00:14:35,240 –> 00:14:38,760
\nand in the prophets and in the
\nlaw concerning him, as he <\/p>\n

196
\n00:14:38,760 –> 00:14:42,600
\nexplained in Luke chapter 24 to
\nthe disciples that were on the <\/p>\n

197
\n00:14:42,840 –> 00:14:48,520
\nroad to Emmaus.
\nAnd he opened understanding that<\/p>\n

198
\n00:14:48,520 –> 00:14:51,280
\nthey might understand the
\nScriptures. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:14:51,760 –> 00:14:55,640
\nDoes it is written and does it
\nbehold Christ to suffer and to <\/p>\n

200
\n00:14:55,640 –> 00:14:57,480
\nrise from the dead the third
\nday? <\/p>\n

201
\n00:14:57,880 –> 00:15:01,520
\nThey didn’t know that yet when
\nthey asked Him teachers how to <\/p>\n

202
\n00:15:01,520 –> 00:15:04,600
\npray.
\nThe Psalms had not been yet <\/p>\n

203
\n00:15:04,600 –> 00:15:08,280
\nfulfilled.
\nBut after Jesus went up to <\/p>\n

204
\n00:15:08,280 –> 00:15:11,560
\nheaven and the Holy Spirit came
\ndown on them, you can read in <\/p>\n

205
\n00:15:11,560 –> 00:15:14,360
\nActs chapter 2.
\nThey freely started to use the <\/p>\n

206
\n00:15:14,360 –> 00:15:18,440
\nPsalms when they were preaching
\nthe gospel used in Acts 2, Psalm<\/p>\n

207
\n00:15:18,440 –> 00:15:23,440
\n2, and Psalm 16, read in the
\nletter to the Ephesians in in <\/p>\n

208
\n00:15:23,440 –> 00:15:25,280
\nHebrews, there’s one string of
\nPsalms. <\/p>\n

209
\n00:15:25,280 –> 00:15:30,120
\nThere are 333 quotations of the
\nPsalms in the New Testament. <\/p>\n

210
\n00:15:31,040 –> 00:15:35,000
\nBut only if we fully understand
\nhow Christ fulfilled what was <\/p>\n

211
\n00:15:35,000 –> 00:15:38,040
\nwritten in the Psalms can we
\nactually properly use them. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:15:38,320 –> 00:15:42,440
\nAnd that’s why Jesus gave this,
\nthis, this template on how to <\/p>\n

213
\n00:15:42,440 –> 00:15:47,440
\npray.
\nAnd it says our Father, which <\/p>\n

214
\n00:15:47,560 –> 00:15:56,840
\nart in heaven, it says in
\nEcclesiastes, be not rash with <\/p>\n

215
\n00:15:56,840 –> 00:15:59,720
\nthy mouth, with Ecclesiastes
\nfive and two. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:16:00,160 –> 00:16:03,840
\nAnd let not thy heart be haste
\nto utter anything before God, <\/p>\n

217
\n00:16:04,400 –> 00:16:08,000
\nfor God is in heaven, and thou
\nupon earth. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:16:08,400 –> 00:16:18,240
\nTherefore let thy words be few.
\nAnd I apply this to myself in my<\/p>\n

219
\n00:16:18,240 –> 00:16:21,640
\nprayer.
\nI used as much as possible the <\/p>\n

220
\n00:16:21,640 –> 00:16:24,720
\nfruit of lips which God has
\ncreated. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:16:24,720 –> 00:16:27,640
\nBut of course I need to use my
\nown words as well. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:16:27,960 –> 00:16:31,320
\nAnd it’s a balance in when I
\nstarted to learn to pray. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:16:31,320 –> 00:16:35,640
\nI use 100% my own words and then
\nI started to put, you know, one <\/p>\n

224
\n00:16:35,640 –> 00:16:39,200
\nor two verses of the Psalms.
\nAnd then the more you mature in <\/p>\n

225
\n00:16:39,200 –> 00:16:42,440
\nScripture and the more you and
\nthe more you can remember <\/p>\n

226
\n00:16:42,440 –> 00:16:45,800
\nScripture as we’ve heard in
\nquite a few prayers in in in <\/p>\n

227
\n00:16:45,800 –> 00:16:49,720
\nthis hall that the the more you
\ngrow in the truth, the more you <\/p>\n

228
\n00:16:49,720 –> 00:16:54,320
\nare able to express yourself in
\nHoly Spirit words. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:16:54,800 –> 00:16:59,240
\nAnd the balance shifts then so
\nthat the more we realise that <\/p>\n

230
\n00:16:59,240 –> 00:17:03,560
\nGod is in heaven, our Father,
\nwhich art in heaven that we are <\/p>\n

231
\n00:17:03,560 –> 00:17:09,040
\non earth and on balance, our
\nwords become fewer and fewer and<\/p>\n

232
\n00:17:09,040 –> 00:17:12,359
\nwe learn more to express
\nourselves in words of the Holy <\/p>\n

233
\n00:17:12,359 –> 00:17:15,160
\nSpirit.
\nThe many beautiful expressions <\/p>\n

234
\n00:17:15,160 –> 00:17:19,400
\nabout God in heaven in the
\nPsalms, the read out you first <\/p>\n

235
\n00:17:19,839 –> 00:17:24,200
\nPsalm 11 verse four and five.
\nYahweh is in his holy temple. <\/p>\n

236
\n00:17:24,440 –> 00:17:31,280
\nYahweh is in his is in the
\nheavens, but from there His eyes<\/p>\n

237
\n00:17:31,280 –> 00:17:35,600
\nbehold his eyelids Try the
\nchildren of men. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:17:35,920 –> 00:17:38,880
\nYahweh tries the righteous, but
\nthe wicked and him that love is <\/p>\n

239
\n00:17:38,880 –> 00:17:41,800
\nviolence.
\nHis soul haters our Father, <\/p>\n

240
\n00:17:41,800 –> 00:17:43,640
\nwhich art in heaven.
\nWell, what’s she doing there? <\/p>\n

241
\n00:17:44,400 –> 00:17:48,360
\nHe’s looking down on us, He’s
\nsearching our hearts, He’s <\/p>\n

242
\n00:17:48,400 –> 00:17:52,560
\ntesting our faith.
\nPsalm 14 Yahweh look down from <\/p>\n

243
\n00:17:52,560 –> 00:17:55,440
\nheaven upon the children of men
\nto see if there were any that <\/p>\n

244
\n00:17:55,440 –> 00:18:01,640
\nunderstands and that seek God.
\nSo there’s so much in the very <\/p>\n

245
\n00:18:01,640 –> 00:18:05,080
\nshort sentence, the beginning of
\nour prayer, our Father, which <\/p>\n

246
\n00:18:05,080 –> 00:18:08,280
\nart in heaven.
\nAnd the more we realise that God<\/p>\n

247
\n00:18:08,280 –> 00:18:12,680
\nis in heaven, the less we use
\nour own words in our prayer. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:18:14,160 –> 00:18:16,080
\nAnd it says, hallowed be thy
\nname. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:18:16,080 –> 00:18:20,520
\nWhat does that mean?
\nWhat does it mean to hallow <\/p>\n

250
\n00:18:21,000 –> 00:18:24,400
\nsomething?
\nIt means to make it holy. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:18:26,600 –> 00:18:29,920
\nDoes that don’t mean that if we
\ndon’t say the Lord’s Prayer that<\/p>\n

252
\n00:18:29,920 –> 00:18:34,800
\nGod’s name is not holy?
\nThat’s not right either, is it? <\/p>\n

253
\n00:18:35,080 –> 00:18:38,280
\nGod’s name is holy, doesn’t
\nmatter what we do or say. <\/p>\n

254
\n00:18:39,040 –> 00:18:43,240
\nBut yet you need to pray
\nhallowed be thy name. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:18:47,240 –> 00:18:53,440
\nSo what does that mean in In
\nHebrew, all names have a <\/p>\n

256
\n00:18:53,440 –> 00:18:57,400
\nmeaning.
\nMelchizedek means king of <\/p>\n

257
\n00:18:57,400 –> 00:19:03,040
\nrighteousness, David means
\nbeloved, Solomon means peace, <\/p>\n

258
\n00:19:03,440 –> 00:19:06,840
\nand names are often used to
\nexpress the character of a <\/p>\n

259
\n00:19:06,840 –> 00:19:10,960
\nperson, and the same is God.
\nWhen he proclaimed his name <\/p>\n

260
\n00:19:10,960 –> 00:19:15,680
\nbefore Moses in Exodus 34, Yah
\ndescended in the cloud and stood<\/p>\n

261
\n00:19:15,680 –> 00:19:18,120
\nwith him there and proclaimed
\nthe name of Yahweh. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:19:18,440 –> 00:19:21,160
\nYahweh passed by before him and
\nproclaimed Yahweh. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:19:21,160 –> 00:19:24,640
\nYahweh Eon merciful and
\ngracious, long-suffering, and <\/p>\n

264
\n00:19:24,640 –> 00:19:29,240
\nabundant in goodness and truth.
\nHow can we say hallowed be thy <\/p>\n

265
\n00:19:29,240 –> 00:19:32,600
\nname if we don’t reflect God’s
\ncharacter, if we are not <\/p>\n

266
\n00:19:32,600 –> 00:19:35,200
\nmerciful, if we are not
\ngracious, if we don’t show any <\/p>\n

267
\n00:19:35,200 –> 00:19:41,080
\nlong-suffering and so on?
\nWhat does name God mean? <\/p>\n

268
\n00:19:42,160 –> 00:19:46,080
\nIt comes from good.
\nOh, God is good, we know that, <\/p>\n

269
\n00:19:46,080 –> 00:19:50,400
\nbut that is not his name.
\nWe call him Lord now. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:19:50,400 –> 00:19:53,160
\nThat’s not his name either.
\nIt’s his job. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:19:53,440 –> 00:19:55,880
\nIn England, in the government
\ngot our house full of Lords. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:19:56,080 –> 00:20:01,320
\nSo that doesn’t help us either.
\nSee go to Exodus chapter 3. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:20:02,880 –> 00:20:06,080
\nAnd by the way, you use the
\nnames of God, I know you are <\/p>\n

274
\n00:20:06,080 –> 00:20:11,360
\nfamiliar with this.
\nIt says in Exodus 3 and verse <\/p>\n

275
\n00:20:11,360 –> 00:20:19,640
\n13, Moses said unto Elovim,
\nthere is Exodus 3 and verse 13 <\/p>\n

276
\n00:20:20,440 –> 00:20:22,080
\nBill.
\nWhen I come into the children of<\/p>\n

277
\n00:20:22,080 –> 00:20:25,080
\nIsrael, and shall say unto them,
\nThe Elohim of your Father has <\/p>\n

278
\n00:20:25,080 –> 00:20:29,120
\nsent me unto you, and they shall
\nsay to me, What is his name? <\/p>\n

279
\n00:20:30,240 –> 00:20:35,960
\nWhat shall I say unto them?
\nAnd Ellen said to Moses, I will <\/p>\n

280
\n00:20:35,960 –> 00:20:39,880
\nbe that I will be.
\nIt’s definitely the future <\/p>\n

281
\n00:20:39,880 –> 00:20:42,520
\ntense.
\nIt’s not I am that I am. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:20:42,880 –> 00:20:45,680
\nThere’s no revelation in that.
\nI am what I am. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:20:45,680 –> 00:20:50,240
\nYou are what you are.
\nSo what the God says I will be, <\/p>\n

284
\n00:20:50,400 –> 00:20:54,160
\nthat I will be.
\nIf somebody says that I will be,<\/p>\n

285
\n00:20:54,360 –> 00:20:56,120
\nwhat do you ask?
\nWhat are you going to be then? <\/p>\n

286
\n00:20:57,080 –> 00:20:58,520
\nIt’s quite a natural question,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n

287
\n00:21:01,160 –> 00:21:04,080
\nThus shall thou say unto the
\nchildren of Israel, I will be <\/p>\n

288
\n00:21:04,360 –> 00:21:08,680
\nhas sent me unto you.
\nThere’s a little critical phrase<\/p>\n

289
\n00:21:09,000 –> 00:21:13,640
\nhas sent me unto you.
\nSo verse 14, he says, I will be <\/p>\n

290
\n00:21:14,800 –> 00:21:18,640
\nhas said me unto you.
\nAnd the next verse explains what<\/p>\n

291
\n00:21:18,680 –> 00:21:21,720
\nGod is going to be.
\nAnd again you got this phrase <\/p>\n

292
\n00:21:21,800 –> 00:21:24,720
\nhas sent me unto you.
\nThose two verses are said in <\/p>\n

293
\n00:21:24,720 –> 00:21:27,360
\nparallel.
\nAnd Ellen said moreover unto <\/p>\n

294
\n00:21:27,360 –> 00:21:31,520
\nMoses, Thus shall thou say to
\nthe children of Israel, Yahweh <\/p>\n

295
\n00:21:31,560 –> 00:21:34,800
\nEllim of your father’s, the
\nEllim of Abraham, the Ellim of <\/p>\n

296
\n00:21:34,800 –> 00:21:38,360
\nIsaac, and the Ellim of Jacob
\nhas sent me unto you. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:21:38,920 –> 00:21:43,160
\nSo first it says, I will be has
\nsent me unto you, and now it <\/p>\n

298
\n00:21:43,160 –> 00:21:47,320
\nsays, Yahweh Ellim of Abraham,
\nIsaac and Jacob has sent me unto<\/p>\n

299
\n00:21:47,680 –> 00:21:49,400
\nyou.
\nSo what does God want to be? <\/p>\n

300
\n00:21:49,760 –> 00:21:54,480
\nHe wants to be the mighty ones
\nof Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. <\/p>\n

301
\n00:21:54,480 –> 00:22:01,800
\nSo his, his name is Yahweh Ellim
\nand it means he will be mighty <\/p>\n

302
\n00:22:01,800 –> 00:22:05,360
\nones.
\nThat is God’s name and this is <\/p>\n

303
\n00:22:05,360 –> 00:22:09,360
\nmy memorial says God and to all
\ngeneration this is my name <\/p>\n

304
\n00:22:09,360 –> 00:22:14,240
\nforever.
\nNo point saying God or no point <\/p>\n

305
\n00:22:14,240 –> 00:22:16,160
\nsaying Lord because that is not
\nhis name. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:22:17,240 –> 00:22:21,200
\nGod is good, He is a Lord, He’s
\na master, but that’s not his <\/p>\n

307
\n00:22:21,200 –> 00:22:24,720
\nname.
\nSo if you want to hallow his <\/p>\n

308
\n00:22:25,000 –> 00:22:30,880
\nname, make that name holy.
\nWe’ve got to take on this <\/p>\n

309
\n00:22:30,880 –> 00:22:34,000
\ncharacter.
\nWe’ve got to learn to be mighty <\/p>\n

310
\n00:22:34,000 –> 00:22:41,400
\nonce Coseto Elvin actually means
\nremember Bob Lloyd once he’s got<\/p>\n

311
\n00:22:41,400 –> 00:22:46,040
\nthose wonderful illustrations
\nabout Alexander the Great and he<\/p>\n

312
\n00:22:46,040 –> 00:22:50,160
\nwas great king and the big army
\nand they they caught a deserter <\/p>\n

313
\n00:22:50,160 –> 00:22:51,720
\na little while runaway.
\nHe was scared. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:22:51,720 –> 00:22:55,840
\nHe was brought before Alexander
\nand Alexander says, what is your<\/p>\n

315
\n00:22:55,840 –> 00:22:58,760
\nname?
\nAnd the boy said, Alexander said<\/p>\n

316
\n00:22:58,760 –> 00:23:01,280
\nno, no, that’s my name.
\nWhat is your name? <\/p>\n

317
\n00:23:01,640 –> 00:23:05,240
\nHe says Alexander, Sir, No, no,
\nno, that is my name. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:23:06,760 –> 00:23:13,000
\nIf you’re Alexander, then either
\nyou behave like an Alexander or <\/p>\n

319
\n00:23:13,000 –> 00:23:16,920
\nyou change your name.
\nIf you call ourselves after the <\/p>\n

320
\n00:23:16,920 –> 00:23:20,320
\nname of God, we got to be like
\nGod. <\/p>\n

321
\n00:23:20,440 –> 00:23:23,280
\nWe must be merciful and
\ngracious, long-suffering and <\/p>\n

322
\n00:23:23,280 –> 00:23:26,360
\nabundant in mercy and truth.
\nBecause then we have taken on <\/p>\n

323
\n00:23:26,360 –> 00:23:29,840
\nthe character of God and then he
\ncan use that name and then we <\/p>\n

324
\n00:23:29,840 –> 00:23:33,520
\nmake that name holy.
\nThen he can say hallow be thy <\/p>\n

325
\n00:23:33,520 –> 00:23:39,880
\nname by the way we live.
\nChange your name or change the <\/p>\n

326
\n00:23:39,880 –> 00:23:44,000
\nway you live, says Alexander.
\nAnd that is what we need to do <\/p>\n

327
\n00:23:44,000 –> 00:23:49,120
\nif we want to hallow his name.
\nBut a beautiful expresses in the<\/p>\n

328
\n00:23:49,120 –> 00:23:54,200
\nPsalms 145 Alex told you my
\nElvin the king now bless thy <\/p>\n

329
\n00:23:54,200 –> 00:23:58,240
\nname forever and ever.
\nEvery day that I bless thee and <\/p>\n

330
\n00:23:58,240 –> 00:24:00,720
\npraise thy name forever and
\never. <\/p>\n

331
\n00:24:01,000 –> 00:24:04,840
\nGreat is yower and greatly to be
\npraised, and as great as is <\/p>\n

332
\n00:24:04,880 –> 00:24:08,280
\nunsearchable.
\nWhat beautiful words, if you <\/p>\n

333
\n00:24:08,280 –> 00:24:11,800
\nunderstand what we’re saying.
\nAnd if we change the way we <\/p>\n

334
\n00:24:11,800 –> 00:24:16,880
\nlive, and let me ask thy Kingdom
\ncome. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:24:17,560 –> 00:24:20,160
\nWell, we all want the Kingdom to
\ncome as soon as possible. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:24:21,000 –> 00:24:24,720
\nIt’ll be a glorious time as we
\nmay fall into the dangers. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:24:24,720 –> 00:24:27,640
\nWe look upon the Kingdom as a
\nkind of glorified pension <\/p>\n

338
\n00:24:27,640 –> 00:24:31,920
\nscheme.
\nAnd it’s not this. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:24:31,920 –> 00:24:36,280
\nLife is our training ground to
\nlearn to be kings and priests in<\/p>\n

340
\n00:24:36,280 –> 00:24:41,280
\nthe Kingdom.
\nAnd again in Psalm 145, just <\/p>\n

341
\n00:24:41,280 –> 00:24:44,640
\nlet’s go to that Psalm.
\nI just quoted from it. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:24:47,520 –> 00:24:49,360
\nDo you ever lived quietly in
\nJerusalem? <\/p>\n

343
\n00:24:49,360 –> 00:24:52,760
\nAnd we were not Christed off.
\nYou’ve had much more time, and <\/p>\n

344
\n00:24:52,760 –> 00:24:55,840
\nwe spend our time learning many
\nPsalms by heart. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:24:57,200 –> 00:24:59,080
\nThat’s when you don’t have to
\nspeak at Bible school. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:24:59,080 –> 00:25:01,120
\nThen you’ve got more time to
\nthink about your prayers. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:25:02,440 –> 00:25:05,480
\nSo I’ve just read out to you.
\nI will extol you, my Ellen the <\/p>\n

348
\n00:25:05,480 –> 00:25:07,720
\nking, and I will bless thy name
\nforever and ever. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:25:07,720 –> 00:25:13,760
\nAnd then if you go to verse 11,
\nit says they shall speak of the <\/p>\n

350
\n00:25:13,760 –> 00:25:18,680
\nglory of thy Kingdom and talk of
\nthy power to make known to the <\/p>\n

351
\n00:25:18,680 –> 00:25:22,200
\nsons of man his mighty acts and
\nthe glorious majesty of his <\/p>\n

352
\n00:25:22,200 –> 00:25:24,640
\nKingdom.
\nThy Kingdom is an everlasting <\/p>\n

353
\n00:25:24,640 –> 00:25:28,160
\nKingdom and thy dominion and
\nJews throughout all generations.<\/p>\n

354
\n00:25:28,360 –> 00:25:31,240
\nThat’s what we will do in the
\nKingdom, to make known to the <\/p>\n

355
\n00:25:31,240 –> 00:25:35,760
\nsons of man his mighty acts.
\nAnd as we we need to do that now<\/p>\n

356
\n00:25:36,400 –> 00:25:40,880
\nso that we can be doing that in
\nthe Kingdom, so all that will be<\/p>\n

357
\n00:25:40,880 –> 00:25:43,000
\ninvolved, no point saying thy
\nKingdom come. <\/p>\n

358
\n00:25:43,000 –> 00:25:45,160
\nWe’ve got no clue what we’re
\ngoing to do in the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:25:47,640 –> 00:25:52,280
\nYou’ve got to Psalm 22.
\nYou looked at this Psalm quite a<\/p>\n

360
\n00:25:52,280 –> 00:25:54,480
\nfew times.
\nThe sound which Jesus said on <\/p>\n

361
\n00:25:54,480 –> 00:26:01,040
\nthe cross.
\nYou look how Jesus cried out <\/p>\n

362
\n00:26:01,040 –> 00:26:06,160
\nthis Psalm on the cross.
\nRemember Ali Ali, Lama <\/p>\n

363
\n00:26:06,160 –> 00:26:08,320
\nSabachthani, why has thou
\nforsaken me? <\/p>\n

364
\n00:26:08,520 –> 00:26:12,760
\nWhy, a few thorn pushed me, and
\nwe see all the crying out of <\/p>\n

365
\n00:26:12,760 –> 00:26:16,640
\nJesus on the cross.
\nAnd we come to verse 20. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:26:16,640 –> 00:26:21,120
\nDeliver my soul from the sword,
\nmy, my only one from the power <\/p>\n

367
\n00:26:21,120 –> 00:26:23,760
\nof the dark.
\nSave me from the lion’s mouth. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:26:23,760 –> 00:26:29,480
\nAnd then thou hast answered me
\nfrom the horns of the Unicorn. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:26:30,360 –> 00:26:34,640
\nAnd what will he do then?
\nI will declare thy name unto my <\/p>\n

370
\n00:26:34,640 –> 00:26:37,240
\nbrethren.
\nIn the midst of the congregation<\/p>\n

371
\n00:26:37,240 –> 00:26:42,480
\nwill I praise thee, because
\nJesus is now fully clothed upon <\/p>\n

372
\n00:26:42,480 –> 00:26:45,800
\nHis immortality.
\nHe is the personification of the<\/p>\n

373
\n00:26:45,800 –> 00:26:49,080
\nname of God, and He’s going to
\ndeclare that unto His brethren. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:26:49,800 –> 00:26:53,560
\nAnd we need to do that now so
\nthat He can do it even better in<\/p>\n

375
\n00:26:53,560 –> 00:26:57,680
\nthe Kingdom.
\nIt’s only after Jesus overcame <\/p>\n

376
\n00:26:57,880 –> 00:27:01,520
\nsin and death that He could look
\nforward to the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:27:01,960 –> 00:27:07,000
\nAnd then in verse 23 we see ye
\nthat fear Yahweh, praise Him. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:27:08,000 –> 00:27:13,360
\nYou see that Jacob natural
\nIsrael glorify him and fear him.<\/p>\n

379
\n00:27:13,360 –> 00:27:17,680
\nO ye the seed of Israel,
\nspiritual Israel. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:27:19,040 –> 00:27:23,600
\nAnd only then the all the ends
\nof the world’s remember and turn<\/p>\n

381
\n00:27:23,600 –> 00:27:26,800
\nunto Yahweh.
\nAnd the kingdoms Kingdom will be<\/p>\n

382
\n00:27:26,800 –> 00:27:32,080
\nYahweh’s.
\nAnd then thy will be done in <\/p>\n

383
\n00:27:32,080 –> 00:27:36,720
\nearth as it is done in heaven.
\nOur God’s will shall be done <\/p>\n

384
\n00:27:36,720 –> 00:27:39,360
\nwhatever.
\nBut the question is, are we <\/p>\n

385
\n00:27:39,360 –> 00:27:43,800
\ndoing God’s will?
\nHow can we pray this if you’re <\/p>\n

386
\n00:27:43,800 –> 00:27:49,520
\nonly willing to do our own will
\nand not God’s will, however hard<\/p>\n

387
\n00:27:49,520 –> 00:27:54,200
\nit was, Jesus said not mine, but
\nthy will be done. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:27:55,800 –> 00:27:59,720
\nIf you pray this and we don’t do
\nit, we’re as hypocrites. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:28:00,960 –> 00:28:04,000
\nBut how do we do God’s will just
\ngrudgingly? <\/p>\n

390
\n00:28:04,000 –> 00:28:09,960
\nWell, if I have to or have got a
\nchoice, or do we God’s will from<\/p>\n

391
\n00:28:09,960 –> 00:28:13,960
\nthe heart.
\nAnd again, Jesus our example. <\/p>\n

392
\n00:28:14,240 –> 00:28:16,440
\nHe did not come to do his own
\nwill. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:28:16,440 –> 00:28:20,280
\nHe says my meat is to do the
\nwill of him that sent me and to <\/p>\n

394
\n00:28:20,280 –> 00:28:24,040
\nfinish his work.
\nJesus said no, like no <\/p>\n

395
\n00:28:24,040 –> 00:28:27,280
\nimportance for himself at all.
\nHe only wants to do the will of <\/p>\n

396
\n00:28:27,280 –> 00:28:30,840
\nHis Father, as He said in the
\nGarden of Gethsemane. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:28:31,040 –> 00:28:35,400
\nAnd it teaches us to accept
\nGod’s will whatever difficult <\/p>\n

398
\n00:28:35,400 –> 00:28:39,760
\ncircumstance we may find
\nourselves in, because only then <\/p>\n

399
\n00:28:40,000 –> 00:28:43,720
\nis God really our Father.
\nAnd we need to pray for wisdom <\/p>\n

400
\n00:28:43,720 –> 00:28:47,920
\nso that He can hallow His name.
\nAnd it’s a wonderful example of <\/p>\n

401
\n00:28:47,920 –> 00:28:52,280
\na short prayer for wisdom and
\nunderstanding in Psalm 119. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:28:52,600 –> 00:28:55,440
\nIt’s a section which we often
\npray, and it starts with the <\/p>\n

403
\n00:28:55,440 –> 00:29:00,680
\nletter hey, and it is in verse
\n33. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:29:05,520 –> 00:29:08,360
\nJames, as the very man, let
\nwisdom, let him pray for wisdom,<\/p>\n

405
\n00:29:08,360 –> 00:29:10,920
\nand God will give it to him.
\nGod, this the way to pray for <\/p>\n

406
\n00:29:10,920 –> 00:29:13,040
\nwisdom.
\nTeach me Thou the way of Thy <\/p>\n

407
\n00:29:13,040 –> 00:29:15,120
\nstatutes, and I shall keep it to
\nthe end. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:29:15,480 –> 00:29:17,960
\nGive me understanding and I
\nshall keep Thy law. <\/p>\n

409
\n00:29:18,200 –> 00:29:20,240
\nYeah, I shall observe this.
\nMy whole heart. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:29:20,520 –> 00:29:23,720
\nMake me to go in the path of Thy
\ncommandments, for therein do I <\/p>\n

411
\n00:29:23,720 –> 00:29:26,120
\ndelight.
\nIncline my heart unto Thy <\/p>\n

412
\n00:29:26,120 –> 00:29:28,160
\ntestimonies, and not to
\ncovetousness. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:29:28,640 –> 00:29:31,680
\nTurn away my knives from
\nbeholding vanity, and quicken me<\/p>\n

414
\n00:29:31,680 –> 00:29:36,000
\nin thy way.
\nEstablish thy word unto thy <\/p>\n

415
\n00:29:36,000 –> 00:29:38,320
\nservant, who is devoted to thy
\nfear. <\/p>\n

416
\n00:29:38,760 –> 00:29:41,920
\nTurn away my reproach, which I
\nhave fear, for thy judgements <\/p>\n

417
\n00:29:41,920 –> 00:29:44,280
\nare good.
\nWe ought have longed after thy <\/p>\n

418
\n00:29:44,280 –> 00:29:47,800
\nprecepts.
\nQuicker me in thy righteousness <\/p>\n

419
\n00:29:50,080 –> 00:29:54,640
\nand then God will is done and
\nnot our will. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:29:56,040 –> 00:29:59,440
\nAnd then give us this day our
\ndaily breads. <\/p>\n

421
\n00:29:59,720 –> 00:30:02,400
\nAnd he would says let him who
\nCano the bread which we need. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:30:02,680 –> 00:30:09,640
\nIt isn’t a 4-5 course meal, but
\nit’s just the food which we need<\/p>\n

423
\n00:30:09,640 –> 00:30:12,760
\nto sustain our soul.
\nAnd Jesus says, behold the fowls<\/p>\n

424
\n00:30:12,760 –> 00:30:16,040
\nof the air they sow not neither
\ndo the reap nor gather into <\/p>\n

425
\n00:30:16,040 –> 00:30:18,160
\nbarns, yet you heavenly Father
\nfeed us them. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:30:18,560 –> 00:30:20,760
\nAre you not much, much better
\nthan they? <\/p>\n

427
\n00:30:22,080 –> 00:30:24,360
\nIt says Psalm 145 we looked at
\nearlier. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:30:24,560 –> 00:30:29,640
\nThat opens that hand and
\nsatisfies the desire of every <\/p>\n

429
\n00:30:29,640 –> 00:30:35,240
\nliving thing, and it takes away
\nthe worry of the want what we <\/p>\n

430
\n00:30:35,760 –> 00:30:41,760
\nneed for every day’s food.
\nIt says in Psalm 104, He causes <\/p>\n

431
\n00:30:41,760 –> 00:30:45,360
\nthe grass to grow for the cattle
\nand herb for the service of men,<\/p>\n

432
\n00:30:45,600 –> 00:30:47,840
\nthat he may bring forth food out
\nof the earth. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:30:49,600 –> 00:30:54,080
\nAnd often I conclude my prayer
\nwith Psalm 136, Who give us food<\/p>\n

434
\n00:30:54,080 –> 00:30:59,080
\nto all flesh.
\nFor his mercy is forever is to <\/p>\n

435
\n00:30:59,080 –> 00:31:04,960
\nthe age for the O Lamb.
\nWell, the previous request was <\/p>\n

436
\n00:31:04,960 –> 00:31:09,080
\nfor Our Daily Bread.
\nAnd then it says, forgive us our<\/p>\n

437
\n00:31:09,080 –> 00:31:14,240
\ndebts as we forgive our debtors.
\nIt’s also translated as trespass<\/p>\n

438
\n00:31:14,240 –> 00:31:17,840
\nand as sin.
\nSin in it’s by the application <\/p>\n

439
\n00:31:17,840 –> 00:31:21,640
\nis of course missing the mark.
\nA failure to realise the true <\/p>\n

440
\n00:31:21,640 –> 00:31:26,720
\naim of God’s will, a failure to
\ndo what we should do, a failure <\/p>\n

441
\n00:31:26,720 –> 00:31:31,520
\nto obey God’s command.
\nAnd we remember that whatsoever <\/p>\n

442
\n00:31:31,520 –> 00:31:36,600
\nis not of faith is sin.
\nAnd Jesus didn’t tell the <\/p>\n

443
\n00:31:36,600 –> 00:31:39,320
\ndisciples that sinners only
\nshould say this prayer. <\/p>\n

444
\n00:31:39,320 –> 00:31:44,200
\nHe said after this minute, pray
\nye, we all need to ask God for <\/p>\n

445
\n00:31:44,200 –> 00:31:50,240
\nforgiveness and we look before
\nthe sin of David and it’s Psalm <\/p>\n

446
\n00:31:50,240 –> 00:32:07,220
\n51, let’s go to Psalm 51.
\nSo did that great sin against <\/p>\n

447
\n00:32:07,220 –> 00:32:10,300
\nBathsheba and the killing of
\nEuriatia. <\/p>\n

448
\n00:32:11,580 –> 00:32:14,620
\nIt was a great sin against
\nBathsheba and against Euriatia, <\/p>\n

449
\n00:32:14,900 –> 00:32:16,500
\nbut what does David actually
\nsay? <\/p>\n

450
\n00:32:16,500 –> 00:32:21,680
\nIt says against thee the only
\nhave I sinned, and then this <\/p>\n

451
\n00:32:21,680 –> 00:32:25,120
\nevil in thy sight, that thou
\nmight be justified when thou <\/p>\n

452
\n00:32:25,120 –> 00:32:27,960
\nspeakest, and be clear when thou
\nart judged. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:32:30,600 –> 00:32:36,840
\nWhen we sin against each other,
\nwe first of all sin against God,<\/p>\n

454
\n00:32:37,240 –> 00:32:43,360
\nbecause we transgress.
\nHis commandments teach us also <\/p>\n

455
\n00:32:43,360 –> 00:32:51,160
\nto forgive others, because God’s
\nability to forgive us depends on<\/p>\n

456
\n00:32:51,240 –> 00:32:53,800
\nour ability to forgive our
\nbrethren and sisters. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:32:55,800 –> 00:32:57,680
\nAnd David said so much in that
\nsame sound. <\/p>\n

458
\n00:32:57,680 –> 00:33:02,320
\nIf you go down to verse 12, he
\nsays, Restore unto me the joy of<\/p>\n

459
\n00:33:02,320 –> 00:33:08,080
\nthy salvation and uphold me.
\nThere’s a willing spirit only <\/p>\n

460
\n00:33:08,080 –> 00:33:11,080
\nthen that I teach transgresses
\nthy ways, and Sinner shall be <\/p>\n

461
\n00:33:11,080 –> 00:33:14,360
\nconverted unto thee.
\nHe first had to restore that <\/p>\n

462
\n00:33:14,360 –> 00:33:17,080
\nmind of God, the joy of the
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:33:17,880 –> 00:33:21,640
\nAnd the Lord’s Prayer is
\nteaching us to love our <\/p>\n

464
\n00:33:21,640 –> 00:33:25,960
\nneighbours as ourselves.
\nFor God’s attitude to men is <\/p>\n

465
\n00:33:25,960 –> 00:33:29,880
\ndetermined by men’s attitude to
\nHis fellow man. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:33:31,080 –> 00:33:34,520
\nIf you can forgive others, it
\nbrings us closer to God. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:33:36,200 –> 00:33:38,800
\nThen it says, lead us not into
\ntemptation. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:33:38,800 –> 00:33:43,600
\nNow we know that God doesn’t
\ntempt us to sin, but the world <\/p>\n

469
\n00:33:43,600 –> 00:33:46,800
\nis full of temptations.
\nWe know also that human <\/p>\n

470
\n00:33:46,800 –> 00:33:49,280
\nexistence without temptation is
\nimpossible. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:33:49,720 –> 00:33:53,360
\nThat word actually means to test
\nor to try. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:33:54,160 –> 00:33:56,000
\nJames has let no man say when
\nhe’s tempted. <\/p>\n

473
\n00:33:56,000 –> 00:33:59,120
\nI’m tempted of God, for God
\ncannot be tempted with evil, <\/p>\n

474
\n00:33:59,120 –> 00:34:03,440
\nneither temptethy any man to
\nsin, to do evil, but he is <\/p>\n

475
\n00:34:03,440 –> 00:34:06,000
\ntesting us.
\nThat’s what Job said. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:34:06,360 –> 00:34:11,360
\nHe knows the way that I take.
\nWhen he has tried me, I shall <\/p>\n

477
\n00:34:11,360 –> 00:34:16,880
\ncome forth as gold.
\nLet’s go to Psalm 17. <\/p>\n

478
\n00:34:30,520 –> 00:34:36,120
\nSo it’s a prayer of David, a
\nprayer for the beloved here, <\/p>\n

479
\n00:34:36,320 –> 00:34:37,920
\nright?
\nYeah. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:34:37,920 –> 00:34:41,880
\nI attended to my cry.
\nGive ear unto my prayer, not out<\/p>\n

481
\n00:34:41,880 –> 00:34:45,480
\nof faint lips.
\nMy sentence shall come forth <\/p>\n

482
\n00:34:45,679 –> 00:34:49,080
\nfrom thy presence.
\nThine eyes, behold the things <\/p>\n

483
\n00:34:49,080 –> 00:34:53,159
\nthat I equal.
\nThou hast proves my heart. <\/p>\n

484
\n00:34:53,920 –> 00:34:56,040
\nThou hast visited me in the
\nnight. <\/p>\n

485
\n00:34:56,520 –> 00:35:02,960
\nThou hast tried me, tempted me,
\ntested me, shalt find nothing. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:35:04,120 –> 00:35:09,040
\nWhat a wonderful state to be in.
\nI’m purpose that my mouth shall <\/p>\n

487
\n00:35:09,040 –> 00:35:12,240
\nnot transgress concerning the
\nworks of men. <\/p>\n

488
\n00:35:12,720 –> 00:35:19,040
\nBy the word of thy lips I’ve
\nkept myself from the path of the<\/p>\n

489
\n00:35:19,040 –> 00:35:22,000
\ndestroyer.
\nThe more we use the fruit of <\/p>\n

490
\n00:35:22,000 –> 00:35:31,520
\nlips, we will be saved from
\ntemptation and deliver us from <\/p>\n

491
\n00:35:31,520 –> 00:35:34,320
\nthe evil.
\nNo point is doing what you like.<\/p>\n

492
\n00:35:34,320 –> 00:35:36,160
\nI think Oh God will deliver us
\nfrom evil. <\/p>\n

493
\n00:35:36,160 –> 00:35:41,440
\nWe’ve got to know the danger
\nwhich we are in and although we <\/p>\n

494
\n00:35:41,760 –> 00:35:46,480
\nrealise the the inadequacy to
\ndeal with evil on our own, we <\/p>\n

495
\n00:35:46,480 –> 00:35:51,640
\nneed God’s help to overcome evil
\nby realising that we cannot <\/p>\n

496
\n00:35:51,640 –> 00:35:57,040
\novercome evil all by ourselves.
\nAnd again, Psalm 119 is such a <\/p>\n

497
\n00:35:57,040 –> 00:36:00,880
\nwonderful Psalm.
\nThe first is in there which you <\/p>\n

498
\n00:36:00,880 –> 00:36:03,920
\ncan apply to almost every
\nsituation. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:36:03,920 –> 00:36:09,000
\nLook at Psalm 119 verse 94 and
\n95. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:36:12,320 –> 00:36:18,800
\nIt says, I am dying, save me,
\nfor I have sought thy precepts. <\/p>\n

501
\n00:36:19,480 –> 00:36:23,120
\nThe wicked have waited for me to
\ndestroy me, but I will consider <\/p>\n

502
\n00:36:23,120 –> 00:36:29,360
\nthy testimonies.
\nIt says in 146, I cried unto <\/p>\n

503
\n00:36:29,360 –> 00:36:34,040
\nthee, save me, deliver me from
\nevil, and I shall keep thy <\/p>\n

504
\n00:36:34,040 –> 00:36:36,920
\ntestimonies.
\nI prevented the dawning of the <\/p>\n

505
\n00:36:36,920 –> 00:36:41,120
\nmorning, and cried, I hoped in
\nthy word, when I prevent the <\/p>\n

506
\n00:36:41,120 –> 00:36:45,000
\nnight watches, that I might
\nmeditate in thy word. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:36:45,840 –> 00:36:50,160
\nYou see, in both instances I
\nsaid, save me, for I’ve sought <\/p>\n

508
\n00:36:50,160 –> 00:36:53,640
\nthy precepts.
\nSave me, and I shall keep thy <\/p>\n

509
\n00:36:53,640 –> 00:36:56,280
\ntestimonies.
\nIt works two ways. <\/p>\n

510
\n00:36:56,360 –> 00:36:59,640
\nWe can’t expect God to deliver
\nfrom evil and not to give <\/p>\n

511
\n00:36:59,640 –> 00:37:05,160
\nourselves over to His Word.
\nThe best way to be delivered <\/p>\n

512
\n00:37:05,160 –> 00:37:10,440
\nfrom evil is to prayerfully
\nmeditate on His Word, as the <\/p>\n

513
\n00:37:10,440 –> 00:37:16,680
\nsame Psalm 119 says in verse 97.
\nOh, how love I thy law. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:37:17,080 –> 00:37:23,000
\nIt’s my meditation all the day,
\nand that will deliver us from <\/p>\n

515
\n00:37:23,000 –> 00:37:25,360
\nevil.
\nAnd that’s how God does it, <\/p>\n

516
\n00:37:25,640 –> 00:37:30,240
\nthrough His Word.
\nAnd then he ends that prayer, <\/p>\n

517
\n00:37:30,240 –> 00:37:33,640
\nthe Lord’s Prayer, with
\nacknowledging God’s power and <\/p>\n

518
\n00:37:33,640 –> 00:37:36,080
\nglory.
\nThine is the Kingdom and the <\/p>\n

519
\n00:37:36,080 –> 00:37:40,720
\npower and the glory forever.
\nAnd we’ve seen that reflected in<\/p>\n

520
\n00:37:40,960 –> 00:37:46,600
\none Chronicles 29, where David
\nindeed says, when he blessed <\/p>\n

521
\n00:37:46,600 –> 00:37:50,000
\nYahweh, said, blessed be thou
\nYahweh, aim of Israel forever <\/p>\n

522
\n00:37:50,000 –> 00:37:51,800
\nand ever.
\nThine, O Yahweh, is the <\/p>\n

523
\n00:37:51,800 –> 00:37:56,840
\ngreatness and the power and the
\nglory and the victory and the <\/p>\n

524
\n00:37:56,840 –> 00:37:58,360
\nmajesty.
\nAnd that’s how the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

525
\n00:37:58,360 –> 00:38:00,840
\nChrist and his prayer and at
\nvictory. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:38:00,840 –> 00:38:03,960
\nRemember there was the word for
\nthe chief musician to him that <\/p>\n

527
\n00:38:03,960 –> 00:38:08,400
\novercometh and then dine is the
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:38:08,400 –> 00:38:10,800
\nWe look forward to the great
\ntime of peace on the earth. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:38:11,000 –> 00:38:13,680
\nThen Christ and the Saints will
\nrule in righteousness. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:38:14,480 –> 00:38:17,920
\nWe will have the power then to
\nlook into men’s hearts and bring<\/p>\n

531
\n00:38:17,920 –> 00:38:22,480
\nthem back to God and the glory.
\nIt will be such a glorious time <\/p>\n

532
\n00:38:23,520 –> 00:38:27,200
\nthat we won’t even be able to
\nimagine how beautiful it will <\/p>\n

533
\n00:38:27,200 –> 00:38:29,080
\nbe.
\nAnd then we end the prayer with <\/p>\n

534
\n00:38:29,200 –> 00:38:32,440
\nAmen.
\nThat means this is faithful, it <\/p>\n

535
\n00:38:32,440 –> 00:38:34,720
\nis true.
\nThat’s the word, That’s the <\/p>\n

536
\n00:38:34,720 –> 00:38:39,280
\nmeaning of the word, Amen.
\nAnd that prayer binds us <\/p>\n

537
\n00:38:39,280 –> 00:38:42,200
\ntogether as brethren and sisters
\nin Christ who are all trying to <\/p>\n

538
\n00:38:42,200 –> 00:38:45,600
\novercome sin with God’s help,
\nand we look forward to a new <\/p>\n

539
\n00:38:45,600 –> 00:38:52,200
\nlife in the Kingdom.
\nAnd so that is how Jesus ends <\/p>\n

540
\n00:38:52,240 –> 00:38:56,480
\nhis prayer, for that is the
\nKingdom and the power and the <\/p>\n

541
\n00:38:56,480 –> 00:38:58,960
\nglory forever.
\nAmen. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:39:01,800 –> 00:39:04,240
\nNow bring me to the last
\nthought. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:39:06,240 –> 00:39:12,120
\nWe so often end our prayers by
\nsaying in the name of Jesus, <\/p>\n

544
\n00:39:12,680 –> 00:39:16,520
\nAmen.
\nDon’t he or something like it. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:39:17,480 –> 00:39:20,320
\nIt’s not like the Lord’s Prayer.
\nHe never said anything like it <\/p>\n

546
\n00:39:21,960 –> 00:39:26,880
\nand brings you to the question
\nwe need to consider because we, <\/p>\n

547
\n00:39:26,880 –> 00:39:32,240
\nwe, we say it because in John
\n14, if you go to John 14, Jesus <\/p>\n

548
\n00:39:32,240 –> 00:39:34,160
\nseems to indicate that we need
\nto say that. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:39:41,760 –> 00:39:47,920
\nSo that’s verse 14.
\nIf you shall ask anything in my <\/p>\n

550
\n00:39:47,920 –> 00:39:52,240
\nname, I will do it.
\nThat’s quite handy, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

551
\n00:39:53,280 –> 00:39:56,040
\nYou can say whatever you ask,
\nI’ll do it in my name. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:39:56,040 –> 00:40:00,560
\nSo please Lord, give me a Rolls
\nRoyce in the name of Yahweh, in <\/p>\n

553
\n00:40:00,560 –> 00:40:02,560
\nthe name of Jesus, Amen.
\nAnd I’ll get it because it’s <\/p>\n

554
\n00:40:02,560 –> 00:40:05,280
\nwhat he says.
\nIt’s not what it says. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:40:06,000 –> 00:40:11,520
\nLike he says we need to go to
\n1st next chapter, verse 15 and <\/p>\n

556
\n00:40:11,520 –> 00:40:20,180
\n16.
\nNo, same chapter, sorry. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:40:21,420 –> 00:40:22,460
\nIt says there.
\nYeah, if you. <\/p>\n

558
\n00:40:23,640 –> 00:40:25,640
\nAsk anything in my name, I will
\ndo it. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:40:25,640 –> 00:40:28,240
\nIf you love me, keep my
\ncommandments. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:40:28,240 –> 00:40:31,920
\nSo it depends that we first of
\nall keep the commandments. <\/p>\n

561
\n00:40:34,400 –> 00:40:38,880
\nIt actually doesn’t say.
\nI still got the right quote <\/p>\n

562
\n00:40:38,880 –> 00:40:41,400
\nhere.
\nThat’s the next chapter, verse <\/p>\n

563
\n00:40:41,600 –> 00:40:43,040
\n16.
\nThat’s right, the end of verse <\/p>\n

564
\n00:40:43,040 –> 00:40:46,600
\n16, chapter 15 and 16.
\nSo you’ve not chosen me, but <\/p>\n

565
\n00:40:46,600 –> 00:40:49,720
\nI’ve chosen you and ordained you
\nthat you should go and bring <\/p>\n

566
\n00:40:49,720 –> 00:40:52,920
\nforth fruit, that your fruit
\nshould remain, That whatsoever <\/p>\n

567
\n00:40:52,920 –> 00:40:56,120
\nyou shall ask the Father in my
\nname, He may give it to you. <\/p>\n

568
\n00:40:56,800 –> 00:40:59,160
\nBut first of all, it’s the
\nfruit, It’s the fruit of lips <\/p>\n

569
\n00:40:59,160 –> 00:41:02,120
\nwhich is to use in our prayers.
\nThen don’t say in the Greek <\/p>\n

570
\n00:41:02,360 –> 00:41:06,360
\nwhatsoever you shall ask, Is
\nthat whatsoever you may ask in <\/p>\n

571
\n00:41:06,360 –> 00:41:10,120
\nmy name?
\nI don’t think it actually means <\/p>\n

572
\n00:41:10,120 –> 00:41:14,160
\nthat we can end our prayer by
\nsaying in the name of Jesus, <\/p>\n

573
\n00:41:14,320 –> 00:41:16,400
\nAmen.
\nAs if that little phrase is a <\/p>\n

574
\n00:41:16,400 –> 00:41:20,880
\nmagical formula that sanctifies
\nwhatever list of demands we had <\/p>\n

575
\n00:41:20,880 –> 00:41:23,120
\nbefore presented before the
\nLord. <\/p>\n

576
\n00:41:25,240 –> 00:41:29,880
\nTo say something in the name of
\nsomebody else is a concept. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:41:30,520 –> 00:41:35,400
\nIt’s not a magic formula.
\nI want you to go to One Samuel <\/p>\n

578
\n00:41:35,400 –> 00:41:49,080
\nchapter 25.
\nThey’ve got an example maybe the<\/p>\n

579
\n00:41:49,080 –> 00:41:52,800
\nstory about Nabel and Abigail
\nand David being in the area and <\/p>\n

580
\n00:41:52,800 –> 00:41:56,000
\nlooking after the shepherds to
\nshow nothing was got lost. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:41:56,000 –> 00:41:57,680
\nAnd then the time of shearing
\ncame. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:41:58,400 –> 00:42:05,200
\nAnd 1st 4 when David heard in
\nthe wilderness that Nabel did <\/p>\n

583
\n00:42:05,200 –> 00:42:09,200
\nshear his sheep.
\nAnd David sent out 10 young men.<\/p>\n

584
\n00:42:10,880 –> 00:42:15,600
\nAnd David said unto the young
\nman, get you up to Carmel and go<\/p>\n

585
\n00:42:15,600 –> 00:42:21,440
\nto Nabel and greet him in my
\nname. <\/p>\n

586
\n00:42:25,840 –> 00:42:29,680
\nThus shall you say to him that
\nlives in prosperity. <\/p>\n

587
\n00:42:30,320 –> 00:42:33,200
\nAnd now you get the words that
\nDavid wanted those young men to <\/p>\n

588
\n00:42:33,200 –> 00:42:38,560
\nsay to Nabel.
\nPeace be to thee, and peace be <\/p>\n

589
\n00:42:38,560 –> 00:42:41,560
\nto thy house, and peace be unto
\nall that thou hast. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:42:41,840 –> 00:42:44,760
\nAnd now I’ve heard that thou
\nhast cheerers now there, now thy<\/p>\n

591
\n00:42:44,760 –> 00:42:47,200
\nshepherds were with us, and we
\nheard them not. <\/p>\n

592
\n00:42:47,440 –> 00:42:50,080
\nNow there was their aught
\nmissing unto them all the while <\/p>\n

593
\n00:42:50,080 –> 00:42:53,520
\nthey were in Carmel asked thy
\nyoung men, and they will show <\/p>\n

594
\n00:42:53,520 –> 00:42:55,400
\nthee.
\nTherefore let the young men find<\/p>\n

595
\n00:42:55,400 –> 00:42:58,200
\nfavour in thy eyes, for we come
\nin a good day. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:42:58,560 –> 00:43:01,680
\nGive, I pray thee, whatsoever
\ncometh to thy hands, unto thy <\/p>\n

597
\n00:43:01,680 –> 00:43:08,600
\nservant, and to thy son David.
\nAnd when David young men came, <\/p>\n

598
\n00:43:09,200 –> 00:43:14,480
\nthey spake to Nabel according to
\nall those words in the name of <\/p>\n

599
\n00:43:14,480 –> 00:43:19,600
\nDavid and ceased they added
\nnothing to it. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:43:21,720 –> 00:43:25,800
\nSo they didn’t expect them to go
\nto Nabel said Hi guy, have you <\/p>\n

601
\n00:43:25,800 –> 00:43:27,640
\nlooked after your flock?
\nSo please give us something to <\/p>\n

602
\n00:43:27,640 –> 00:43:30,480
\neat.
\nIf they would have said said <\/p>\n

603
\n00:43:30,480 –> 00:43:33,680
\nthat, they didn’t say it in the
\nname of David. <\/p>\n

604
\n00:43:34,360 –> 00:43:40,000
\nThey were to say exactly the
\nwords which David spoke to them <\/p>\n

605
\n00:43:40,240 –> 00:43:43,880
\nword by word the same.
\nAnd they did that. <\/p>\n

606
\n00:43:43,880 –> 00:43:48,400
\nThey added nothing to it, and
\nthen they spoke those words in <\/p>\n

607
\n00:43:48,400 –> 00:43:53,120
\nthe name of David.
\nSo to say something in <\/p>\n

608
\n00:43:53,120 –> 00:43:59,320
\nsomebody’s name, then we need to
\nuse the exact words. <\/p>\n

609
\n00:44:00,480 –> 00:44:03,840
\nSo if you use the words of
\nChrist, which is in the Psalms, <\/p>\n

610
\n00:44:03,840 –> 00:44:07,240
\nhymns, in the spiritual songs,
\nwe don’t have to add on in the <\/p>\n

611
\n00:44:07,240 –> 00:44:10,560
\nname of Jesus because you have
\njust done it. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:44:12,600 –> 00:44:16,880
\nWe need to do it not as a magic
\nformula at the end of our <\/p>\n

613
\n00:44:16,880 –> 00:44:20,560
\nprayer.
\nIf you pray in the name of <\/p>\n

614
\n00:44:20,760 –> 00:44:27,000
\nJesus, we need to use His words.
\nIf you use our own words, that <\/p>\n

615
\n00:44:27,000 –> 00:44:30,520
\nis not praying in the name of
\nJesus, we have no guarantee that<\/p>\n

616
\n00:44:30,520 –> 00:44:34,080
\nyou’ll get what you want.
\nBut if you use the Holy Spirit <\/p>\n

617
\n00:44:34,080 –> 00:44:37,320
\nwords, the word of Christ, which
\nis in the psalms, hymns, and <\/p>\n

618
\n00:44:37,320 –> 00:44:42,960
\nspiritual songs, then we pray in
\nHis name and we can just easily <\/p>\n

619
\n00:44:43,120 –> 00:44:45,120
\nend our prayer.
\nFor that is the Kingdom, the <\/p>\n

620
\n00:44:45,120 –> 00:44:48,760
\npower, and the glory forever
\nbecause you’ve just done it. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:44:49,640 –> 00:44:52,800
\nIt’s not a magical formula at
\nthe end of our prayer. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:44:54,600 –> 00:44:59,440
\nWell, at the end, Jesus after
\nthis manner praying. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:45:01,040 –> 00:45:06,600
\nSo here’s for example an example
\nthat works for me, taking the <\/p>\n

624
\n00:45:06,600 –> 00:45:10,280
\nLord’s Prayer and then using
\nsome words to say the same <\/p>\n

625
\n00:45:10,280 –> 00:45:12,760
\nthing.
\nYou can say something like this.<\/p>\n

626
\n00:45:13,120 –> 00:45:17,040
\nOur Father, our rock, our God,
\nthe rock of our salvation. <\/p>\n

627
\n00:45:17,360 –> 00:45:19,960
\nMy help comes from Yahweh.
\nIt’s made heaven and earth. <\/p>\n

628
\n00:45:19,960 –> 00:45:21,320
\nThat’s what He does when it’s in
\nheaven. <\/p>\n

629
\n00:45:22,040 –> 00:45:24,640
\nTeach me Thy way, Yahweh, our
\nwalk and Thy truth. <\/p>\n

630
\n00:45:25,040 –> 00:45:28,840
\nUnite my heart to fear Thy name,
\nThy Kingdom come. <\/p>\n

631
\n00:45:29,000 –> 00:45:32,080
\nThy Kingdom is an everlasting
\nKingdom, and Thy dominion and <\/p>\n

632
\n00:45:32,080 –> 00:45:35,840
\nJews throughout all generations.
\nAnd make me to go in the path of<\/p>\n

633
\n00:45:35,840 –> 00:45:40,320
\nThy commandments, for therein do
\nI delights Our Daily Bread. <\/p>\n

634
\n00:45:40,320 –> 00:45:43,600
\nThou opus Thy hand and satisfy
\nthe desire of every living <\/p>\n

635
\n00:45:43,600 –> 00:45:46,760
\nthing, and bring Thou me out of
\nmy distresses. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:45:47,000 –> 00:45:50,240
\nLook upon my infliction in my
\npain and forgive all my sins. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:45:50,760 –> 00:45:52,920
\nAnd we prayed our may as two
\nmajor Jerusalem we praise in the<\/p>\n

638
\n00:45:52,920 –> 00:45:56,480
\nearth in that Kingdom that is
\ndying, and the power and the <\/p>\n

639
\n00:45:56,480 –> 00:46:00,240
\nglory, Amen.
\nThat is just pray after this <\/p>\n

640
\n00:46:00,240 –> 00:46:04,880
\nmanner either substituted all
\nwhat Jesus said with phrases <\/p>\n

641
\n00:46:04,880 –> 00:46:08,880
\nfrom the sons, and then you
\nactually do what Jesus wants you<\/p>\n

642
\n00:46:08,880 –> 00:46:10,760
\nto do.
\nAnd because these are the words <\/p>\n

643
\n00:46:10,760 –> 00:46:14,640
\nof Christ and we have prayed in
\nHis name already, we don’t have <\/p>\n

644
\n00:46:14,640 –> 00:46:16,320
\nto tag it on at the end of our
\nprayer. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:46:17,040 –> 00:46:19,760
\nStill we need to, we can only
\npray to God through the <\/p>\n

646
\n00:46:19,760 –> 00:46:22,560
\nsacrifice of Christ.
\nBut in the name. <\/p>\n

647
\n00:46:22,960 –> 00:46:25,280
\nIf you say something in
\nsomebody’s name, you, you, <\/p>\n

648
\n00:46:25,400 –> 00:46:27,400
\nyou’ve got to use the exact
\nwords, otherwise you don’t do <\/p>\n

649
\n00:46:27,400 –> 00:46:33,200
\nit.
\nAnd I say this not to criticise <\/p>\n

650
\n00:46:33,200 –> 00:46:38,800
\nanybody, but to to to make us
\nmore aware how we address the <\/p>\n

651
\n00:46:38,840 –> 00:46:43,360
\nAlmighty in our prayer followed
\nthe example of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

652
\n00:46:43,360 –> 00:46:47,320
\nChrist and and play upon the
\nharp, as it were a different <\/p>\n

653
\n00:46:47,320 –> 00:46:50,520
\nmelody every time you can.
\nThere’s so many beautiful <\/p>\n

654
\n00:46:50,520 –> 00:46:55,240
\nsayings in the Psalm that you
\ncan use in our prayer and we all<\/p>\n

655
\n00:46:55,240 –> 00:46:58,880
\nfeel inadequate.
\nI do in my prayer, certainly at <\/p>\n

656
\n00:46:58,880 –> 00:47:02,160
\ncomposing prayers to God.
\nBut this method had worked for <\/p>\n

657
\n00:47:02,160 –> 00:47:04,720
\nus and Ioffer it only as a
\nsuggestion. <\/p>\n

658
\n00:47:05,320 –> 00:47:11,000
\nI think we need to spend a bit
\nmore time and a bit more work in<\/p>\n

659

\n00:47:19,440 –> 00:47:23,600
