"Our Father, Which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name."
I want to tell you something, beloved. When you come to Me with your heart held high in worship to Me, it thrills My heart. It satisfies something deep within. It makes Me want to scoop you up in My arms of love and embrace you with an everlasting hug. Yes, that is how I feel when I hear you address Me as Father, and praise My name. It absolutely thrills My heart!
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."
Yes, beloved. Pray that My kingdom will come and My will, will be done on earth as it is in heaven. These are words worth saying. These are words that you will delight in seeing unfold as your Beloved presents Himself to the masses in the near future. I am a God Who delights in hearing My dear ones pray My will. I delight in knowing that your heart's desires lines up with My heart's desires. You, My beloved, are going to see things unfold before your very eyes that will delight you. So keep on praying those words. Keep on looking expectantly for My return, and for My will to shine forth in your lives and across the world brightly.
"Give us this day or daily bread."
Yes, beloved, I will supply you the bread that you need to sustain you in this life. I will give you the physical bread and the spiritual bread that you so desire. I have never denied My own that bread that He desired to eat, whether it was for his livelihood or for the essence of My presence. I am a God Who supplies well. I withhold no good gift from My beloved. You may rely on having the Bread of life supply you with all that you need in this life and in the life to come. So be it. Again, I say, "So be it!"
"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."
Beloved, beloved, I want you to be free from the encumbrances of unforgiveness. I want you to know the true joy of your Lord. Step out of that shell of unforgiveness, and into My forgiveness – into My joy and peace – true heart contentment. I am a God Who delights in one who will lay aside his unforgiveness and receive from Me the pleasure – the sweet, rich pleasure – of My company. For that is how we can commune, one on one, when you are free of the encumbrances of unforgiveness.
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
Did I not tell you that I would guide you in all truth? Did I not declare to you that I would never leave you or forsake you? I did, and I mean those words. They are just as true today as they were when I spoke them to My disciples. So hear the word of the living God. Receive My truth. Bow down to Me with devoted hearts of worship, and know that My plan is to bless you, moving you forward, closer to My heart – to a place where you will know My will for you and walk in it with joy and peace.
I want you to know, beloved, that I gave this prayer to My devoted disciples, and I give it to you today for the same reason. I want you to know My heart. I want you to know all that My heart contains. And what does My heart contain for you? It contains untold blessings. It contains all the love a heart could hold. It contains guidance in the direction of My waiting arms of love. Yes, My heart contains much – much more than any heart could desire, and I want it all for you, beloved. I want it all for you.
So look on this prayer as a loving gift from your Father, and know that every word contains guidance to that place in Me where you will receive a wealth of blessings, and the love of your God that will thrill and excite you – thrill and excite you, sending you catapulting into that place of freedom and delight that is found in knowing Me – in knowing My heart and resting in the divine arms of the living God – your very own true and loving Savior.
"For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. AMEN."
Yes, beloved, My kingdom is forever, My power never wanes, and My glory is everlasting, supplying every willing heart with the sweet fragrance of the Beloved. So know, dear one, that the One Whom you serve is a God Who has been and will be around for a long, long time – all eternity. Know that it delights My heart to draw you into this eternal realm where you will know Me, My power, and My glory.
I am delighted to introduce you to the essence of My love in a most phenomenal way. I am delighted to show you the depths of My love and the wonder of it from a very interesting vantage point. That is where I am taking you, dear child – close, still closer, into the heart of your God.
I want you to know that it delights Me to present this feast that I have prepared for those who have chosen to serve Me unswervingly. It delights Me to draw you closer into the bosom of My love. In spite of anything the enemy could do, we should be having our happy reunion soon. So prepare your heart, dear one, to climb higher into that realm of divine hope that I have so aptly provided, and know with each rung of the ladder that you climb you are entering into a new hour of hope – new hope in the provided victory of the living God, your Beloved, your Savior – the One Who looks on you with adoring eyes and desires to draw you close into this new hour of love made real to every willing heart.
Oh, yes, those who comply with My wishes will not be disappointed. They will know the power and the glory of the living God, for they will be abiding in My kingdom of love and light – in that place created for you to know the will of your God, and rest in the presence of His love forever, beloved – forever and ever!!!
I want to make a few comments, I believe the whole church needs to repent, the leaders included, because the congregation patterns itself after the Pastor and the leaders. We ALL need to repent for one thing or another, but we need to be on our faces before God if we want revival. 2 Chronicles 7:14 is where we need to be, the Lord would rather have people repent than bring judgment, the choice is ours. Judgment begins at the house of God, so how ought we be living? He said SEEK
MY FACE.
Love,

2Ch 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
