YOUR WILL BE DONE
"In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom comes. Your will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” Matthew 6:9-13.
Jesus' disciples asked Jesus how they should pray. And Jesus told them this is how they should pray. But first, when we say, Your will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven, there is an implicit understanding that we know what His will is, or otherwise we would not say it that way. If we don’t know what His will is, what do we do? Start reading the Bible. Why? Because that’s how we can know what His will is. Start reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Read Genesis, Exodus, and the history about Adam and Eve and Lucifer. You want to know why God evicted them. You want to know why they have lost their eternal life. You want to know what His will is. In short, read the Bible with the intent to know what the will of God the Father is. Unless we know what the will of God the Father is, we will hear this again when Jesus returns, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23. The will of God is found in His law and in His commandments, and nowhere else. The will of God is found in His commandments. The Apostle John wrote, “He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 2:4. Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15. Why did Jesus say to keep His commandments if we love Him? Because that is the only way that we can live and stay together with Jesus. He wants to live together with us, but sin separates us from Him. Can we bargain with God about our sin? No, we cannot! We can bargain only with Satan, but not bargain with God about our sin.
Do we keep His commandments? No, we do not. Why do we not keep His laws and commandments? Because false preachers and false pastors say that they know more than Jesus about what part of the Torah to keep, and what part of the Torah to ignore. When Jesus died on the cross His commandments also died with Him, so they say. They all expired! Did Jesus say that when He died on the cross that all of His laws and commandments expired? No, He did not. He did not say that. Preachers and ministers claim that the meaning of the word “It’s finished” that Jesus said before He died on the cross means that the law has been fulfilled. They jump up and down selling Jesus at a discount without His laws. They claimed that they studied years in Universities to get their Masters and PhD degrees in Biblical studies to qualify them to interpret every word that comes out from Jesus’ mouth. Jesus had no degree in anything! Brothers and Sisters. Do we know why He taught us in the prayer to say, “Your will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven.” Do you want to know why? Because He wants us to know that His will is superior to our will. He wants us to know that by doing His will only can we have eternal life. Did we say that in our prayer? No, we do not, because we believe that our will is superior to Jesus' will.
Look, preachers and ministers have declared that Jesus’ laws and commandments are no longer valid after Jesus died on the cross. After we made that declaration, the whole world followed us, and they all ignored God’s laws and commandments. They ignored and abandoned God’s will. They all ignored the words of Jesus. But do these Pharisees know where Jesus got His words from? Jesus said, "For I have not spoken on My own [authority]; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. "And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak." John 12:49-50. Jesus speaks what God the Father wants Him to say, nothing more and nothing less. Readers, God the Father has never died, never! Why did these pagans teach everyone to ignore Jesus’ words, and everyone believes the nonsense that these Pagans say, not realizing that what came out from Jesus’ mouth were not Jesus’ words, but words from God the Father, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23. Are we practicing lawlessness? Are we doing His will, or are we doing our will? Jesus said, "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48. Readers, the only way that we can be perfect is when we do the will of God the Father. Don’t worry, don’t worry, He will help us become perfect if we try. If Jesus wants me to walk with Him for one mile, and I can walk only one-half mile to my home because I am old and my legs are weak, He will carry me to the front door of my home. That's how I can be perfect. That's how we can become perfect.
