Discuss Matthew 6 Page 28

When God prompts me to go on a missions trip but I can't because a co-worker already has that time off...at that moment, I realize that I am serving Mammon...yes, I am loving God and despising my job. Now it is up to me to believe for God's wisdom and to find "knowledge of witty inventions" with the ultimate goal of creating enough passive residual income so that I can be financially free, no longer trading my time for money and able to be available every time the Master calls.

take thoughts captive as a man thinkith he is pulling down every vain imagination and bringing into captivity every thought2nd cor 10:5 how we take a thought is by sayinbg dont listen to the lies of the enemy God is good he will provide God is for us.He love us .

gooooooooood example

If you patiently read that chapter with understanding, you will find out that Jesus Christ means when you are interceeding for somebody. That is why He said, "for they love to pray standing ....TO BE SEEN BY OTHERS." Then he said' "truely, they have recieved their reward in full."
And what is reward? Reward is a thing that you are given because you have done something good.
So interceeding for people in public means that you want people to speak well of you that you are kind instead of letting God to reward you.

..from matthew 6:33
By keeping and by following His commandsments is a very important thing especially when we spread His word to those unbelevers..thank you Lord Jesus..

This is the principle of Mattew 6:33. The moment we seek or look first after the kingdom of God; He 'Jesus' will cause everything needed to search and find us.

I like matt 6:22 Jesus spoke in parables, this verse means alot to me, I know exactly what he is trying to say here. To everyone it has its own meaning, this lets me know I am on the right track.

Marc:...I agree with you because we should KNOW KNOW WHO our LORD Jesus Christ really is...The Word "was" God and "was" made flesh ( John 1:1,14)...Let us NOT LIMIT ourselves in believing the "name of the FLESH" of our Lord Jesus Christ only...but also to believe his "name before he was made flesh" and accept the fact that he is NOT OF THIS WORLD ( John 17:1-26)...therefore it is true that "his flesh" did pray to the FATHER whenever he asked anything from HIM the same way as he taught us to do when we want to ask something through prayer from our God the Father ( Matthew 6:5-13)

Matthew 6:9-13 is NOT AN EXAMPLE but instead a COMMANDMENT that prayer should be in that manner...You should NOT say..."deliver us from evil..deliver us from evil..deliver us from evil"...OR to do the same with the whole content of the Lord's prayer...AS IF you shall be heard if you do that...

I love Matthew 6. I feel that Christians need to read it more carefully. Are not the words in verse 9-13 an example of how to speak to God privately in your own words? How is it that these words were then turned into the Lord's Prayer, which is repeated publicly, when Jesus counsels against this in the preceding verses? It seems hypocritical. Just as Jesus said it did. Can someone please explain?

We always end up crying if our plans and programs go failing. This is most especially because we do not put God first in those plans. I'm sure He will not ignore us if we consider Him the priority.

Tom, I like your comment and agree wholeheartedly!

I think Wesley made the best comment. Your means your INTENTIONS. Whatever you give attention and desire from it, effects not only your body, but your soul. And if your eye be "single", meaning pure or true, the presence of God (the light) will illuminate your life. Peace :)

Its a scripture that teaches us that in all we do we should like God.its a powerful scrupture as God like it if all. We do is in secret.

MT 6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

This is my respond to GLENN's Romans Chapter 10 comment about verse 10 on 9/09/2013, 9:26am: The significance of confessing audibly (with one's mouth) unto salvation is that, your faith that is in your heart should be revealed by confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus. Prayers should be in the way as it's written in Matthew 6:5-6.

we must not focus on this that is perishable specially the things here on earth,we must set our eyes upon things above which is unperishable.

This is God's will for all who exercise faith in the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth; and love others as themselves, which is to happen here on earth once God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven ( Matthew 6:10).

One of the greatest weaPon of the Devil is fear and anxiety. But as a true believer we must understand d fundamental principle of God for our life. God is our father and he totally own us. The bible recorded it that all God created is good. Believe me or not you are part of God creation and he as created you for a purpose and he has naturally endowed us with everything which we need. But to have a life fulfiled live we must remember GOD DEMAND FROM US AND THAT IS GOD KINGDOM AND RIGHTHEOUSNESS. Jesus was very clever enough to have understand this, when satan showed him all the world and ask him to worship him, so that he casted away servant of God will give to d Son is rightful heritage without d consent of the father. GOd owns everything aLl but we have got to understand his demands from us as well. Thanks for reading.

It is very powerfull words, Jesus new already that we are in the world where people will never get contented or satisfy with whatever what they have, people will keep on pulse after material thing rathan than spitual things, seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness first will help us to focus on God only and forget all other things that may be content with our spirit mind.

Amazing to me how this scripture, which seems to encomp*** the actions of THINKING.....ie; worry, care, anxiety which are not observable activities but the actual process of THINKING.

It strikes me that what is being taught here is very likely the same as the Buddhist idea of EMPTINESS meaning that all that we may think, consider and project is empty of true meaning or of intrinsic awareness. We strive hard to keep our religious preferences separated but an honest view will reveal that God has been speaking all along in different times and climes and there has never been a time when he wasn't represented on earth even now!!

This scripture is one of many that the Holy Spirit reveal to me that my heavenly Father is the one who has the control over my life; and there is no need for me to set up and worry, lose sleep, wear myself out trying to work it all out. It has taught me how to rest in God. After all He is the author and finisher of my faith. Another good scripture to reference this one with is (Psalm3 ) and ( Matthew 6:25-33). Rest in His care!! Amen?

The ones who have dark eyes are in control of this present world, darkness will end the good & evil will overtake it, but only for awhile! God is in control & His love will prevail & no dark eyes will overtake anyone who came from above! Remember who you are & where you came from!! If you came from above, you will go back to heaven! If you were born of this world your eyes are darkened & you must repent to know the light of truth! God can save all even the earth bound! I am from above & I will go back to where I was created, let the darkness if your eyes & soul leave you! Become light & you too can go to my home in heaven above, by being like your creator who is all good & no evil! Good comes from good, bad comes from evil!!!

wonderful, desire to be blessed more

I agree some what with with Precious J. Let me go over this chapter a bit more as I am still learning the WORD..

If we give unto the Lord and His kingdom, the system of man, or this world can't dominate us. God will always provide whatever it is that we need.

Righteousness is right

Jesus isn't condemning Money; rather the LOVE of money. You can only serve (LOVE) one Master...

God gave me this chapter in a dream 28/7/2013. I have come to my senses that" i worry so much yet all the answers are with Him. First, pray and fast in secret. Secret here means meditating in God's presence. Secondly, our eyes must bring light into our whole being. Third, forgive those wrong you, then lastly worry not, because Jesus ***ured us that, just lile bipds in the air, He has good plans for us

as what that mean is u have faith in god the lord is our number one priority as being a Christian u have to follow a godly ways to receive your answer when u pray to the lord...
