The Lords prayer that appears in Matthew 6:9-14, which says, ‘Our Father who art in heaven…’ is a prayer that Jesus used while on earth. But this is an Old Covenant prayer. It is a time when Jesus was preparing for the New Covenant. We do not use it as it is in the New Covenant, because in this prayer, Jesus says the kingdom of God should come, whereas in the New Covenant the kingdom of God has come, and is inside a believer. We can take the principles that we find in this prayer. For example, this prayer reveals acknowledgement, supplication, repentance etc. We have to pray with the understanding of who we are and what we have in this New Covenant. The Lords prayer of the New Covenant is this one in John 17:1-26; it reveals what we have in the New Covenant by believing in Christ, and what the Father is to us.

FORGIVENESS IN PRAYER (Mark 11:24 and 25): We must forgive others as the Father has forgiven us. When praying without forgiving others, we will not receive anything from God (Matthew 18:21-35). If we do not forgive, we too will not be forgiven. (Study the teaching on forgiveness; I have explained it in detail).

A BIBLE BASED LIFE (Colossians 3:16-17, Joshua 1:8) (Living by the word): The word of God is likened to bread, why is that? Because we need bread each day of our lives, a believer has to have a life of meditation on the word of God daily. S/He cannot just read the bible once and claim to be done. S/He has to have a quiet place where s/he is able to study and meditate upon the word of God and learn to speak some with his mouth by making confessions of faith. At this time of meditating on the word, a believer must have a book and a pen, where he will write down revelations that are given by the Holy Spirit. And also to underline his bible with different colors will help a lot, just as I have explained in the teaching on sons of God. He has to repeatedly finish the New and the Old Testament if he wants to mature in God. But if s/he has not finished the new, it is better to finish it repeatedly before going to the old.

From there s/he should have time to read books of people who walk faithfully with God, and also watching or listening to them. But s/he has to be careful not to believe every teaching, but judge them to see if they are in line with the New Testament in the bible. In so doing; a believer will always be on fire for the Lord and move forward with him.
