The “Lord’s Prayer?” IOW, How To Keep Your Emails Out Of Father’s Spam Folder.

Suppose you ask any flesh person or company for an application for something you desire. And, you return it, signed and dated, yet without the many other blanks filled out -- could you expect to receive a positive response?

.Well, hellooo…..

“Religion” and their followers do this exact thing countless times daily… Some religions do it willingly as a penance, (go say x number of ‘our Fathers’ and y number of ‘hail mary’s) and the rest out of merely ignorance….by saying “After all, it is the Lord’s Prayer”….

News flash…Religion’s parroted phrase IS NOT the Lord’s “Prayer“…. NOT AT ALL. It is a blank OUTLINE that one uses to get your message to Father.

However, if you are truly devoid of all knowledge, it is indeed possible to get your Email read…All it takes is a sincere GOD HELP ME….and most especially if from a new (to Him) email return address.

Matt 6:
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

IOW…Else Your Prayers end up in Father’s Spam folder

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

IOW…Else Your Prayers end up in Father’s Spam folder

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Else, IOW…Your Prayers end up in Father’s Spam folder.

Think a bit…If one disregards the very plain prayer preface instructions as given above by God, yet dutifully parrots the words of the outline, as the below verses provide, can one expect to be heard?

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

NO… NO… Yet Infinite “NO’s”…. Because, He has heard those words enough, obviously, They are, after all His own Words…. A blank application He expects YOU to complete, and not return blank.

.
As Father said via Isaiah….
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (KJV)

IOW…Email no void messages to Father… Or…Your Prayers end up in Father’s Spam folder

So, bub, are you saying that there is no recorded “Lord’s Prayer” that we can parrot? The answer is…yes and no.
Yes in that there ACTUALLY is a recorded Prayer of our Lord…, and in full. NO in that you cannot parrot it, with mere words.

Many, perhaps most, do not perceive it to be a prayer as such, Yet it is obvious to the most casual observer as it is written in John 17, the full chapter. One can learn quite a bit from listening in…IF they are willing to accept His true Words. In it he absolutely DESTROYS religions favorite lies…from the ‘rapture’ through most religious doctrine.. If one Studies it, one may even learn something new each trip through it.

John 17 begins
1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

And ends:
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. (KJV)

And, if one can handle it, one really should let Christ’s Words sink deeply into one’s temple…

And that, beloved, is the fully recorded “Lord’s Prayer“. You are always on His mind. Merely speak your heart to Him, and your prayers will stay out of His spam folder.
Fortunately, however if you are not a known e-mail return address, and thus you are truly ignorant, even in stress, simply a sincere GOD HELP ME is quite sufficient especially from an unknown e-mail address.

Luke 11:1-5

1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
(KJV)

Mark 7:5-7
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
(KJV)

Matthew 6:9-15 PP4

1. We must address ourselves to him as our Father, and must call him so. He is a common Father to all mankind by creation, . He is in a special manner a Father to the saints, by adoption and regeneration ; and an unspeakable privilege it is. Thus we must eye him in prayer, keep up good thoughts of him, such as are encouraging and not affrighting; nothing more pleasing to God, nor pleasant to ourselves, than to call God Father. Christ in prayer mostly called God Father. If he be our Father, he will pity us under our
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP5

2. As our Father in heaven: so in heaven as to be every where else, for the heaven cannot contain him; yet so in heaven as there to manifest his glory, for it is his throne , and it is to believers a throne of grace: thitherward we must direct our prayers, for Christ the Mediator is now in heaven, .
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP6

II. The petitions, and those are six; the three first relating more immediately to God and his honour, the three last to our own concerns, both temporal and spiritual; as in the ten commandments, the four first teach us our duty toward God, and the last six our duty toward our neighbour. The method of this prayer teaches us to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then to hope that other things shall be added.
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP6

(1.) We give glory to God; it may be taken not as a petition, but as an adoration; as that, the Lord be magnified, or glorified, for God's holiness is the greatness and glory of all his perfections. We
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP7

(2.) we fix our end, and it is the right end to be aimed at, and ought to be our chief and ultimate end in all our petitions, that God may be glorified; all our other requests must be in subordination to this, and in pursuance of it. "Father, glorify thyself in
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP9

(3.) we desire and pray that the name of God, that is, God himself, in all that whereby he has made himself known, may be sanctified and glorified both by us and others, and especially by himself. "Father, let thy name be glorified as a Father, and a
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP10

[1.] We make a virtue of necessity; for God will sanctify his own name, whether we desire it or not; I will be exalted among the heathen, .

[2.] we ask for that which we are sure shall be granted; for when our Saviour prayed, Father glorify thy name, it was immediately answered, I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.

2. Thy kingdom come. This petition has plainly a reference to the doctrine which Christ preached at this time, which John Baptist had preached before, and which he afterwards sent his apostles out to preach-- the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The kingdom of your Father who is in heaven, the kingdom of the Messiah, this is at hand, pray that it may come. Note, We should turn the word we

Matthew 6:9-15 PP14

3. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. We pray that God's kingdom being come, we and others may be brought into obedience to all the laws and ordinances of it. By this let it
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP14

(1.) The thing prayed for, thy will be done; "Lord, do what thou pleasest with me and mine; <1 Sam. 3:18>. I refer myself to thee, and am well satisfied that all thy counsel concerning me should be performed." In this sense Christ prayed, not my will, but thine be done. "Enable me to do what is pleasing to thee; give me that grace that is necessary to the right knowledge of thy will, and an

(2.) the pattern of it, that it might be done on earth, in this place of our trial and probation (where our work must be done, or it never will be done), as it is done in heaven, that place of rest and joy. We pray that earth may be made more like heaven by the

Matthew 6:9-15 PP16

4. Give us this day our daily bread. Because our natural being is necessary to our spiritual well-being in this world, therefore, after the things of God's glory, kingdom, and will, we pray for the necessary supports and comforts of this present life, which are the gifts of God, and must be asked of him, Ton arton epiousion-- Bread
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP19

Every word here has a lesson in it:

(1.) We ask for bread; that teaches us sobriety and temperance; we ask for bread, not dainties, not superfluities; that which is wholesome, though it be not nice.

(2.) we ask for our bread; that teaches us honesty and industry: we do not ask for the bread out of other people's mouths, not the bread of deceit , not the brad of idleness , but the bread honestly gotten.

(3.) we ask for our daily bread; which teaches us not to take thought for the morrow (v. 34), but constantly to depend upon divine Providence, as those that live from hand to mouth.

(4.) we beg of God to give it us, not sell it us, nor lend it us, but give it. The greatest of men must be beholden to the mercy of God for their daily bread,

(5.) We pray, "Give it to us; not to me only, but to others in common with me." This teaches us charity, and a compassionate concern for the poor and needy. It intimates also, that we ought to pray with our families; we and our households eat together, and therefore ought to pray together.

(6.) we pray that God would give us this day; which teaches us to renew the desire of our souls toward God, as the wants of our bodies are renewed; as duly as the day comes, we must pray to our heavenly Father, and reckon we could as well go a day without meat, as without prayer.

5. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, This is connected with the former; and forgive, intimating, that unless our sins be pardoned, we can have no comfort in life, or the supports of it. Our daily bread does but feed us as lambs for the slaughter, if our sins be not pardoned. It intimates, likewise, that we must pray for daily pardon, as duly as we pray for daily bread. He that is washed, needeth to wash his feet. Here we have,

(1.) A petition; Father in heaven forgive us our debts, our debts to thee. Note,

[1.] Our sins are our debts; there is a debt of duty, which, as creatures, we owe to our Creator; we do not pray to be discharged from that, but upon the non-payment of that there arises a debt of punishment; in default of obedience to the will of God, we become obnoxious to the wrath of God; and for not observing
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP25

[2.] our hearts' desire and prayer to our heavenly Father every day should be, that he would forgive us our debts; that the obligation to punishment may be cancelled and vacated, that we may not come into condemnation; that we may be discharged, and have
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP26

justice of God for the sin of man, by the dying of the Lord Jesus our Surety, or rather Bail to the action, that undertook our discharge.

(2.) an argument to enforce this petition; as we forgive our debtors. This is not a plea of merit, but a plea of grace. Note, Those that come to God for the forgiveness of their sins against him, must make conscience of forgiving those who have offended them,
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP30

6. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. This petition is expressed,

(1.) Negatively: Lead us not into temptation. Having prayed that the guilt of sin may be removed, we pray, as it is fit, that we may never return again to folly, that we may not be tempted to it. It is
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP30

(2.) Positively: But deliver us from evil; apo tou ponerou-- from the evil one, the devil, the tempter; "keep us, that either we may not be assaulted by him, or we may not be overcome by those assaults:" Or from the evil thing, sin, the worst of evils; an evil, an only evil; that evil thing which God hates, and which Satan tempts men to and destroys them by. "Lord, deliver us from the evil of the world, the
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP32

III. The conclusion: For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen. Some refer this to David's doxology, <1 Chr. 29:11>. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness. It is,

1. A form of plea to enforce the foregoing petitions. It is our duty to plead with God in prayer, to fill our mouth with arguments not to move God, but to affect ourselves; to encourage
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP35

2. It is a form of praise and thanksgiving. The best pleading with God is praising of him; it is the way to obtain further mercy, as it qualifies us to receive it. In all our addresses to God, it is fit that praise should have a considerable share, for praise becometh the saints; they are to be our God for a name and for a praise. It is just and
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP35

Lastly, To all this we are taught to affix our Amen, so be it. God's Amen is a grant; his fiat is, it shall be so; our Amen is only a summary desire; our fiat is, let it be so: it is in the token of our desire and assurance to be heard, that we say Amen. Amen refers to
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP36

Most of the petitions in the Lord's prayer had been commonly used by the Jews in their devotions, or words to the same effect: but that clause in the fifth petition, As we forgive our debtors, was perfectly new, and therefore our Saviour here shows for what reason he added it, not with any personal reflection upon the peevishness, litigiousness, and ill nature of the men of that generation, though there was cause enough for it, but only from
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP37

1. In a promise. If ye forgive, your heavenly Father will also forgive. Not as if this were the only condition required; there must be repentance and faith, and new obedience; but as where other graces are in truth, there will be this, so this will be a good evidence of the
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)
Matthew 6:9-15 PP39

pure hands, without wrath, <1 Tim. 2:8>. If we pray in anger, we have reason to fear God will answer in anger. It has been said, Prayers made in wrath are written in gall. What reason is it that God should forgive us the talents we are indebted to him, if we forgive not our brethren the pence they are indebted to us? Christ came into the world
(from Matthew Henry's Commentary)

John 17:13-20
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; (KJV)
