When Jesus was asked by His disciples how to pray to THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:
9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name.
10 Your Kingdom come. Your will be done On 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 do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Jesus invites us to have the same relationship with THE FATHER that He has: Abba.
The word hallowed means: to show honor as being Sacred or majestic; to observe as Holy: One Who is totally pure.
Who deserves our total and complete worship, honor, and praise? Certainly not a manmade object. Who deserves to be honored and exalted more than Our Heavenly Father?
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 113:
1 Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the Name of the LORD!
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forevermore!
3 From the rising of the sun to its going down The LORD’s Name is to be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God, Who dwells on High,
6 Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?
In other Words, HE stoops down to look upon the sky and the earth.
Who can do the following besides Our Heavenly Father:
7 He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
8 That He may seat him with princes- With the princes of His people.
9 He grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
The issue at hand with most church congregations is they don’t have the Fear of THE LORD and treat Our Heavenly Father in a casual manner. HE deserves our utmost worship and honor.
Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Exodus chapter 3:
1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
2 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.
3 Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”
4 So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”
5 Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is Holy ground.”
6 Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father-the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.
What would happen if THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY manifested HIS Presence in front of you? Isaiah provides us with perspective.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 6:
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a Throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the Temple.
2 Above It stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”
4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.
7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.”
It is vital that we understand and acknowledge the Holiness of Our Heavenly Father. We are not to treat HIM in a casual manner but with complete honor and reverence, in Holy Awe! Jesus gave us this command.
