Jesus Kingdom Prayer

The Lord's prayer is a series of templets that teach us how to pray. The Kingdom Of God is a place, not a religion. In this place is God's government with a king. Also is a court we call the place of prayer. The Father sits on the throne, Jesus is our lawyer (advocate) with the Father, the Holy Spirit is our councelor teaching us how to pray, the testimonies in the court room are the Old and New Testaments giving us case studies of God's power and provision and the power of atorney is the name of Jesus in which we pray. Now we are ready to petition the judge of the universe, who by the way is full of love, compassion as well as He is totally holy and to reverenced, with our petitions. It is interesting to picture the court of heaven as our place of legal access to the throne. We are therefore to come, "boldly to the throne of grace to obtain grace and help in a time of need.

We demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives by walking and living in the Spirit. It manifests in the "fruit of the Spirit". This fruit is acutally singular which is LOVE. Love then manifests in 8 different ways. Joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness and self-control. This is the power that love has in our lives. Paul, all through Galatians, is emphasizing the central message of the true gospel. It's not in the keeping of the law, which no one can do, but in living in the grace of God. Paul uses father Abraham as our challenge to faith. He believed God's promise to him and became the father of all who believe. And the final seed of Abraham was Jesus Christ. This was the fulfillment of Abraham's promised blessing. In Christ, the Father said, all the nations would be blessed. And everyone what believe's God, by faith, is of the seed of Abraham. So Abraham's seed is not a race, but "Faith".
