#98 “Great Intercessors of the Bible”

Jesus Christ – Anointed Savior) Pt6

“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!"

(James 1:13-14)

New King James Version (NKJV)

By now you’re probably asking the question, “Do I have to pray only this prayer every day?” Well the answer is ‘Although it would not hurt to pray it every day, the answer is ‘No’. Jesus never told His disciples to only pray this prayer, what He did say is, “when you do pray; pray use this prayer as your pattern or guide. At first you may want to follow the prayer as it is written until you gain some confidence or a clearer understanding of what each category entails, get comfortable with how each area relates to one of the Names of God and then you can began to expand you prayer base. For instance, “Give us this day our daily bread…” relates to God being Jehovah-Jireh (our provider) can you see what I mean?

Nearly every time Jesus taught He followed a specific pattern, He would first give a topic and then He would provide instruction on how to apply it. “Therefore after this manner pray” or when you pray “pray along these lines” which in the Greek is “Houtos oun.” Jesus never intended for this to become some ritualistic practice like chanting redundant verses over and over again like mindless drone robots. But in the same sense He did however want it to become, such a part of you that without given it a second thought; you could transition into this pattern or prayer with great ease.


Now shall we pick up where we left off in our last lesson, also this will be the conclusion of this series on “Jesus the Greatest Intercessor of the Bible":


[] And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one — now we know and understand that God does not tempt His children, “Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.” (James 1:13)

Therefore we know this petition is not that God will not lead us into temptation but that He will keep the enemy (Satan) from tempting or enticing us into commit sin. We must always keep in mind that it is our own fleshly desire the Satan uses against us. These temptations can be from within us as a result of something we have not been willing to let go of; therefore it still has a stronghold in our flesh. “...each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.” (James 1:14-15) This is why Jesus prayed for us before He went back to the Father, “I’m not asking that you take them out of the world But that you guard them from the Evil One. I’m praying not only for them but also for those who will believe in me Because of them and their witness about me.” This should be our prayer as well that the Lord will deliver His children around the worlds from the Evil One attacks against them.

[] For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever — this verse of the Lord’s Prayer it very weighty, in other words it carries much Authority! Why? Because when we declare that, “Yours is The Kingdom, The Power and The Glory…” and we are your children then we have every right and privilege to stand on every one of God’s Words and to claim as our own each verse of promise, provision and protection that they posses. We have a right to claim everything this prayer entails. It says that I set myself in agreement with my Fathers Kingdom and every one of its decrees. “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)

Everything Jesus has He has given it to us, “And the glory which you gave Me, I have given them that they may be one just as We are one.” (John l7:22) we have no cause to be down or depressed because every thing we need has been provided to be victorious in this life. “Arise from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you; rise to a new life. Shine, be radiant with the glory of the Lord; for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. (Isaiah 60:l-2, The Amplified Version)

[] Amen!— concluding this prayer with the word “Amen!” is like the King placing His Royal Signet Ring’s seal on it. It seals our prayer through the Authority and Power of Jesus Christ; because, in the book of Revelation 3: 14 Jesus is called the “Amen of God” – “These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.” It is through Christ that all of God’s exceeding and precious promises are brought to fulfillment. I sure we have grown accustom to concluding our prayers in this manner however, it has far more authority than just saying I’m done praying! The word ‘Amen’ means “Even so, as I have prayed it, even so shall it be done,” this is not a conclusion to your prayer it a faith declaration and a notice of expectation…I expect to see it manifested!!!

My Prayer: Our Father God, we come before You giving you Glory and Honor and thanksgiving for Your wondrous works and unfailing love towards us Your children. As we reflect on this powerful prayer we understand that within these verses we have to summation of Your promise to us. Thank You for being the all sufficient one the Alfa and Omega the Beginning and the Ending of our lives and destiny. You are our heavenly Father and we give You praise for Jesus Your Son, and for life everlasting through His shed blood. As we began our day with this the Lord’s Prayer we thank You Father for ordering our day according to heavens design and will. Thank You for giving us the words, provision and guidance we will need to complete this day in Jesus’ precious name we pray, Amen!

Have A Bless Day…Go in God’s Peace!
