Lord's Prayer Expanded (The model prayer)
"Our Father which art in heaven”. Qh Lord, how wonderful to call you Abba. Not just "Father" as an adopted son but Abba as a blood son. Thank you Father.
“Hallowed be thy name". You are: Jehovah Tsidkeenu (sid ke' new) my righteousness. lt's not by works of righteousness which I have done but according to your mercy you saved me by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost.
You are: Jehovah Mekaddishkem (Mah' ka dish-kem‘) my sanctification. You reached down into the pig sty of this world and lifted me out and turned me over to your Prophets, Apostles, Evangelists, Shepherds and Teachers to wash me with the water of the Word to make me a vessel of Honor instead a vessel of dishonor.
You are: Jehovah Shammah (Sha' ma) my God who is always with me. You will never leave me or forsake me, even in the valley of the shadow of death you are with me. Your rod of correction and your staff of leadership they comfort me.
You are: Jehovah Shalom (Sha loam‘) my peace. Not as the world gives peace but as You give peace, the peace that passes understanding. You keep me from trouble and fear.
You are: Jehovah Nissi (Knee' see) my banner. You have prepared a table before me in the presence of my enemies and anointed my head with oil till my cup ran over. You waved your banner over me proclaiming, "This is my son in whom l am well pleased”.
You are: Jehovah Ropheka {Ra‘ fee ka) my healer. You have forgiven all my sins and healed all my diseases. By the stripes of Jesus you have healed me, by Your Word you have saved me.
You are: Jehovah Roi (Ra' ah) my Shepherd. You watch over me and lead me beside the still cool water and make me to lie down in lush green pastures while you restore my soul. You lead me in the paths of righteousness for Your name sake.
You are: Jehovah Jireh (Jih‘ rah) my Lord who provides all my needs. You supply all my needs according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus where l have need of nothing. You give me all things that pertain to life and godliness.
"Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done in me as it is in Heaven". l yield my life to you to do with me as it pleases you for I am not my own but l have been bought with a price, the precious blood of Jesus.
"Give us this day our daily bread”. As your Word says, "l have been young, and now l am old; yet have l not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread”. He takes care of the sparrow and I am worth much more than they.
"Forgive me of my sins, just I forgive those who have sinned against me.“ I know that if I don’t forgive all transgressions against me, you will not forgive me
“Lead me not into temptation”. I wish to learn by the leading of your Spirit and not by trials that you place on me.
"Deliver me from the evil one” as I put on the whole armor of God. I will gird my loins with truth. For righteousness l will put on the breastplate of faith. I will shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. I will lift up my shield of faith and I will protect my thought life with the helmet of salvation, and praying with all supplication in the Spirit so that l may stand and having done all, stand.
I thank you Father for what you are doing in me, for me, and through me. For yours is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory forever . . .
Amen .
