Matthew Chapter 6 Discussion Page 17

Verses 9 and 10 instruct us about what should be our priorities in life: Jesus said the number 1 priority should be the sanctifying of God's name. So we should not avoid using God's name, because that would not be following Jesus' example.
The number 2 priority is God's Kingdom. Jesus spoke often about that Kingdom and what it would accomplish. Do we speak about God's Kingdom? Jesus is the pattern, or example we should follow. Jesus expected to be made King of that Kingdom, so logically, it can't be just a condition of our heart. After putting God's name and the Kingdom first, then we were to pray for our needs, and those of others.

I love Matthew6:1, I believe that if you know who you are in Christ Jesus ,then you shouldn't have to'showboat' for anyone else. Besides God's Holy Word tell us that whatever we do, do unto The Lord. I love and don't mind helping others out, However ,I don't need to shout it from the roof top that I just did whatever I did for so and so

If you are surrounded by false prophet, religion you will end up see light in them so how great will be thee darkness .

MY MIRACLES R REAL AND U HAVE NO MIRACLES !
99.99 Per Cent do not know the Public or the Private Jesus much less understand what this scripture is saying!

Matthew 6:33 is one of my most favored verses. I know when I do not seek Christ first I am like a squirrel in a cage. He gave us His Word for our benefit. It is much softer to follow the Spirit of God. He is IAM and in seeking Him first the day goes much smoother. He is the way truth and light. Amen.

On Verse 3 concerning giving. Eample tithes do we have to put our tithes in and envelope with our name on the envelope or just give it between you and God.

This means putting Jehovah's standard of what is right and what is wrong ahead of human norms. Even when the majority of people are doing what God disapproves of.

Christ was instructing His disciples the right way of giving alms. Giving in full view of the public, to be noticed of them, is showing off of one's "righteousness", and that will create pride within. But when no one is watching, except God in Heaven, it will develop a benevolent character of giving. Our motives are what God weighs. It is not really about how much one gives, but about how one gives! That does not mean that we give less. He who loves his neighbor as himself will give liberally.

To many People believe that money will solve all of their problems. The word of God reminds us that true treasure is what we do for others with no expectations of something in return. By becoming last we become first. The greatest commandment is to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, mind, soul, and spirit. The second is like the first, love thy brother as you love thyself, nothing about money (mammon).

Jesus was telling us to speak with God from our hearts in prayer ,thus our words in prayer[dialogue with Him however long we take will be meaningful]flowing from our hearts will be genuine

This is Literal... seek the literal kingdom in these last days... where they keep true worship. And secondly there is a sanctuary in Heaven operating right now where Yashua (Jesus) is interceding on your behalf. So to get right with him,,, or become one with him... have your sins blotted out in the sanctuary that is operating right now in Heaven. So find his Kingdom and do his righteousness. Asking forgiveness daily going before the throne.

this is Literal: there is a Kingdom to rise up in these Last Days that we are living in right now. And there is a Sanctuary in Heaven that operates right now... with Yashua interceding on your behalf... that is how you become righteous. So find the real kingdom and get right through the sanctuary system. This is what this literally means.

We as children of GOD look to HIM for all things. Follow after HIM imitate our FATHER. Desire to do as HE does. Love HIM with all our heart mind soul and strength. And HE like a loving FATHER delights to see HIS children following in HIS steps;embraces them cares for them and supplies their every need.

Mathew 6 is a dissertation on treasure. Mt 20 has to do with generosity and greediness. Matthew 25.14-30 explains what use individuals made of treasure entrusted to them, and verse 31 reveals the conditions of judgment to all individuals of all nations. 1 John 3 clears up any leftover doubts for believers.

This chapter motivates me it gives me courage to go on freely with my life since well i`ve been going through a rough patch

that we dont let flesh overtaken us.and not going and let people no what u r doing for others.let God get the glory.watever u doing for a person do it unto God with love and good intentions

The most important thing to know is God loved us first.and. his love is everlasting. For seek him we seek his kingdom and all his riches for God is the creator for all things and the master of everything. With God nothing is impossible.

Mathew 6.1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men. To be seen of them ;otherwise ye have no reward of your father which is in heaven. I think this means that if you to give materially to another; then you give because it blesses you as the giver and it blesses the recipient. Not give materially to be seen by mans eyes but by our father in heaven

"Seek ye first, the Kingdom Of God..." I believe He is saying BEFORE you DO anything, confer with Him first. Remember He is our GUIDE. "And His righteousness..." Doing what He would DO, "And all these things shall be added to you..." He shall give you your food, water, clothing, etc. He clothes the grass and feeds it, and His people are worth more to Him than grass. He takes care of His people completely when His people faithfully put Him first.

It is a non negotiable facts to every Christian believer that seeking the kingdom first will open the doors to every desired knowledge,be it it spiritual or the secular knowledge.

i believe it means when we are living in the flesh and not the spirit, when our prayers our selfishly motivated. when we ask god for what we want rather than what he wants.

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.

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?
