Matthew Chapter 6 Discussion Page 19

we need god first in whatever we do,without him life its difficult, we cannot succeed in life ,lets work for him and we shall be rewarded.

When you forget yourself and go after God with all that you've got, God will take care of your worries and He will always be there to fight your battles for you both spiritually and physically. Work for God and He will work for you!

God reminds us to take no thought for our lives,he will provide he is Jehovah Jireh he will provide and why worry about because God spoke through Paul by the holy ghost about how we brought nothing into this world and we cant take it out.

In Matthew 6:12 when it talks about debts is it talking about money or sins?

God knows what we need before we ask for it.

Without God coming first in our lives we cannot please him.God is our source for every need in our lives.He will supply all your needs when you truly walk with him in spirit and ask him daily to direct your path, everything else is will fall into place when you live only to serve him in heart and soul.

It is amazing to me(after 39 years of being saved by GOD'S GRACE)the lengths that people will go to overstretch a passage. This has NOTHING to do with tongues. It is the DIVINE LOVE & preeminent nature of OUR MIGHTY GOD to care for our "needs"through our submission to HIS WILL. "AFTER THIS MANNER THEREFORE PRAY YE".

I believe 1Corinthians 14:2..."For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not unto men but unto God."
Until 1Corinthians 13:8-10 is fulfilled, I believe we can safely pray the will of God by using a prayer language that our carnal mind doesn't/can't interfere with. Our carnal words limit what we say to God, so our wants and our will are always in the way. As long as we are "thinking," those thoughts get in the way of Gods spirit speaking to our spirit. I find that after I speak my prayers in English, I use my prayer language to let the Spirit lead me, talk to me, and I know His Will will be done....Because He already knows what I need, I need to be able to HEAR it. God prepares our hearts, through His spirit, to accept the things we need. No expectations that are amiss and no disappointments.

verse 33,
its all about what i am in the Kingdom,how i dedicate myself to God my King,do i care that He is everything in my life? Do i put in my mind that He is the Master planner of everything i do? i should preach the word in season or out of season for the Name of Jehovah to be exalted in me and other who do His will all time

This chapter takes an individual from infant spiritually to maturity in spirit.

that is the major assignment of man on earth

Matthew 6;10 Thy Kingdom is here and now. His will is complete. Be on earth like it is heaven. Treat people right and you will be treated right. Follow him without fear and he will protect you. Because you are in heaven with power forever. This is how to be a man

I feel that people should take on board Matthew 6:33 as it is so important to seek the face of God. Be blessed.

Mind you Jesus taught people how to pray and not what to pray, that prayer that Jesus prayed was a model prayer. That means we have to lern something from it and not pray the same pray everyday. What does the bible says about praying? It says pray without ceasing a non stop prayer. So you can't pray the same prayer of Jesus everyday but you can pray the way Jesus prayed everyday.

I believe that the Lord has spoken it all. There is no need to worry about materialistic things. I found out when you are Seeking the things of God and his rightouness for our lives, and doing whats right in the Lords sight, than he will take care of his own!! He said it in His word that all shall be added unto you, the things that you have need of and or concern with. God Will provide!! Praise God!!

I believe it means the secret chambers of your heart. God see the heart of man. That is the inner part of a man's spirit "the heart" You can be anywhere and pray from your heart. God judges the heart of man.

I wonder why so many Christians pray out loud in the congregation, when God's Word is so explicit in Mathew 6:6. Jesus has already taught us how to pray, in verses 7-13. Many of us seem to think that we must also teach others, by following the hypocrites of verse 5.

Seeking the kingdom of God is working on our faith in God by studying His teachings and putting them into practice in our lives. That is OBEDIENCE. As we grow in faith, we continue on to discern His will for us. Though at times it may not be to our wishes, we should completely submit to Him. That is TRUST. Let us not forget that in our seeking, we do not travel alone but should recognize Christ as the "light of the world". That is giving GLORY, HONOR, and PRAISE to our God. Follow Him as He would in all your plans, dreams, daily affairs... and in all these things order will fall into place in His time.

Jesus is the author and finisher of my life. I believe my Lord with all my heart, soul and mind; he that starts the work in us is able to finish it. This chapter has become true in the lowest point of my life.

@Mic, let's look at both verses 22 and 23: Jesus speaks about the Church (the body) and people who belong to the Church (members). He says that the light (teaching and inspiration) is provided by the eye (senior pastor) and that if he/she is single (of purpose) then great is the light coming from him to the Church. However, in stark contrast, if the senior pastor is not single of purpose then he/she is evil and the Church is in darkness.

Does it mean whatever is in your heart shows in your eyes?

I think verse 33 means to put God first in your life and try to follow his ways, and then he will bless you with food and clothes, and take care of all your needs.

I think the meaning is clear and unmistakable. Jesus uses body parts to represent people, just as He taught Paul to repeat in First Corinthians 12. The left hand is a person (or member of the Church, or perhaps one of His disciples) and the right hand is another person. Therefore, should Matthew be the left and Mark the right; He means "Matthew, do not divulge the amount of your alms and same for you, Mark. Keep it secret".

I think it’s tapping into the spiritual understanding of God’s intention when he created man and woman, acknowledging his supernatural powers.

God is the author of our lives, and there is nothing that we can do successfully on our own without His acknowledgement.

This chapter always comforts me when I am going through trials in my life, it reassures me that my God has everything under control. We have a wonderful forgiving God and I am blessed beyond comprehension. Thank you God for your goodness.

Now I have a question for you: Do you know what the water of live is? Revelation 22:17.

Your body = the garden Genesis 2:10. And a river (spinal cord) went out of Eden (brain/arc) to water the garden (body): from there it separated into four headwaters. Pison: urine --Gibon: intestinal tract --Tigris: blood --Euphrates: the nerve fluid.

Your brain = Eden. Exodus 25:16 cherubs: cerebrum/left and right brain. Thalamus: the arc with the manna and the law of God ( Hebrews 8:10), pineal gland: holy of holiest; pituitary gland: the land filled with milk and honey.

Amen Wayne! It seems to me that the desire for success in this world has seeped into the hearts. We have lost the context of scriptures.
