I.Effective Prayer V2
A. The Lord’s Prayer
1. (Matt. 6:9-13) The “Lord’s Prayer” is a proclamation and declaration of the purpose and plan of God for man. It is not just a prayer to be memorized and quoted as much as it is an outline and format for prayer.
a. I also use Ps. 23, Ps. 91, and Ps. 103:1-5 as a prayer outline.
B. 7 Declarations of the Lord’s Prayer
#1 “Our Father in heaven,”
a. Relationship – we need to see God as the loving heavenly Father who cares about, and has the solutions to everything that concerns us.
~(1 Pet. 5:7 AMP)
~(John 15:1-11 TPT)
~(1 John 4:9-10)
~(Gal. 5:6 KJV)
#2 “Hallowed be Your name.”
a. Sanctify or set apart His name (Jesus) as holy. It is proper protocol to enter the presence of the King with gratitude and gifts. (Thank Him for Who He is and what He’s done for you.)
~(Ps. 100:1-5)
~(Heb. 13:15)
#3 “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
a. (Matt. 6:31-33) Make declarations about everything you want to happen in your life. (future)
~Health
~Marriage
~Family
~Housing
~Business etc.
#4 “Give us this day our daily bread.”
a. (Phil. 4:19) This is where you make scriptural declarations over your day.
#5 “And forgive our debts, as we forgive our debtors.”
a. (Eph. 4:31-32) Don’t carry anger, grudges and/or unforgiveness in your heart towards anyone.
#6 “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”
a. (Col. 1:12-13) If you are bound in any areas of life (addictions, bondages, destructive habits, etc.) declare your freedom and deliverance.
#7 “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”
a. End your prayer time in praise and worship.
