PREFACE SUMMARY

Did you know that God, in His infinite love, desires each of us to maintain a personal and intimate family relationship with Him? Even though He already knows our needs, He wants us to come to Him trusting and believing that He can meet them and desires to meet every one of them. Because we are not just members but His beloved children, God desires that we ask Him for what He already longs to give us.

Our prayer life, a powerful tool, not only prepares and empowers us to enter His presence to receive His loving instruction and blessings but also serves as a key to deepening our relationship with Him. It's a direct line of communication that connects us to our Father, making us feel empowered and deeply connected to Him. This message will open our eyes and understanding that how we approach God and what we are willing to ask Him for will reflect how we view Him as the model father we can all approach for our needs.

"THE FATHER HEART OF GOD."

This message is about getting to know the God of the universe, who created all things, both seen and unseen, as Father and praying that he may reveal his heart to us that he is not only a wonderful master planner before the world was formed but also loved to be referred to as the Father of creation.

God is Holy in his character and deeds and is not bound by space and time. Beloved, this is what distinguishes and separates Him from all other created things.

God has granted us the gift of prayer so that we can enter his divine presence and discover that he is seated on his throne in Heaven with his angelic host and that his Spirit is also here on earth with us.

This revelation awakens something like a deep voice, saying this world is not our true home. We are just passing through, yes beloved, our treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue where a loving heavenly Father is looking down with love that chose us in him before the foundation of the world, for he stated in (Isaiah 49:16) that he has us engraved on the palms of his hands.

Prayer causes us to realize that there is more around us than we can see, and because of the circumstances involved, it may take some time to see physical results.

We need to receive revelation that God knows all, sees all and looks at people around us when answering our prayers because, beloved, He is observing what effect our answered prayers will have on them.

Prayer is the means to satisfy our desire to know Him, who delivered us from sin. It gives us a deeper desire to commune with Him in His presence.

"THE MODEL PRAYER."

(Matthew 6:9-13) (9) "After this manner, therefore, pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name." (10) "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in 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 lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen."

In the book of Matthew, the Lord instructs His disciples concerning the proper way to pray and approach God, and most people love to refer to this passage of scripture as "The Lord's Prayer." Here, we find the preacher of all preachers standing overlooking the Sea of Galilee, instructing His disciples concerning the right way to pray and approach God.
