For This Will Be (The 2nd Out Of 5) Corrective Topics From Our Lord Jesus Which Will Be Life-Changing, (But) It Will Also Reveal How Superficial Or Serious Our Commitment To Obey The Lord Jesus The Messiah King Really Is!!

Now today, let’s continue with our current corrective topic from our Lord Jesus, Which Is How We Might Have An Authentic And Healthy Prayer Life.

And remember, starting at Matthew 6: 5 And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. *10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 13 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.

So then, as we continue to listen unto our Lord Jesus, He wanted us to know these important factors.

(First) that our prayer time, and our prayer life, and our prayers unto God, ought to come from the heart, and not just a memorize prayer that we have Learn!

Next, our Lord Jesus wanted us to know that our prayer time, and our prayer life and our prayers unto God, ought to be informal talk. Straight talk, in a similar way, that a child does with a loving parent to whom they can talk about anything, at any time, and anywhere.

Next, here in Matthew 6: 9 thru 13 our Lord Jesus wanted us to know, that as we continue to mature in our relationship especially with God The Father. Then our prayer requests, our needs, and our wants will become less and less about us!

But instead, they will become more and more about pleasing our Heavenly Father and wanting to do His Will on Earth as it is in Heaven, Amen!!!

And therefore, our Lord Jesus has provided for us a pattern to follow, that is made up of 15 Godly phrases that can be expressed by us as we are led and influenced by God The Holy Spirit along with our Bibles if we choose to go to certain parts of our Bibles while praying, in which The Holy Spirit brings to our remembrance certain verses or a verse by which these 15 Godly Phrases becomes a time of intimate fellowship with our Heavenly Father in Jesus Name, with the help and influence of The Holy Spirit.

Now today, want to begin to look at the 5th Godly phrase revealed unto us here in Matthew 6:11. Give us this day our daily bread. (Stop here) And also we can see in Luke 11: 3, Give us day by day our daily bread.

Now back to Matthew 6:11. Now see Matthew 6:11. Give us this day our daily bread, implies there must be a provider, a benefactor, a helper in whom we can trust. And in whom we can request and make known every need with the hope and expectation that they can provide for us according to their will, plan, and purpose. Repeat

So then, who is this One that we can trust and depend upon no matter what? Well let’s see again Matthew 6: 9B, Which says, Hallow be thy “Name!”

Remember, the word “Name” the way it is being used here is referring to the person, and not the spelling of their “Name.” Also, “Name” the way it is being used here, is referring to the presence and the position that person has with you.

And for a moment, let’s remind ourselves of our Heavenly Father’s position with us as our provider, because we are in Christ Jesus and we are His spiritual children, his sons and daughters.

Now see Genesis 22: 13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So, Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 And Abraham called the name of the place, the-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said unto this day, in the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.

Genesis 22:14 (KJV). “And Abraham called the name of that place (Jehovah-Jireh) as it is said unto this day, in the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.”

Now see Psalms 145: 15 The eyes of all look expectantly unto You, and You give them their food in due season. 16 You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

Now see Psalms 37:25. I have been young and now am old; Yet, I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread.

Now see again Matthew 6: Give us this day our daily bread. (Question)—is this a demand that we are making unto God, or it is a thankful request that we are making unto God?

And by the way the verb ‘give’ can also be translated, to grant or to permit one’s request.

Sermon Notes For 7-23-25 Part 2 For The Gospel Of Matthew Chapter 6: Vs. 5 Thru 12, And Then Vs. 14&15, And Then Lastly, Vs. 13. For This Will Be (The 2nd Out Of 5) Corrective Topics From Our Lord Jesus Which Will Be Life-Changing, (But) It Will Also Reveal How Superficial Or Serious Our Commitment To Obey The Lord Jesus The Messiah King Really Is!!

Let’s turn to the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 6. And today let’s continue with our current corrective topic from our Lord Jesus, Which Is How We Might Have An Authentic And Healthy Prayer Life.

And we want to continue with this 5th Godly phrase that is revealed unto us here in Matthew 6: 11. Which says, “Give us this day our daily bread. “(Stop here)

Now, also lets see Luke 11: 3, Which says it a little different. “Give us day by day, our daily bread.”

Now, let’s go back to Matthew 6:11.

Now, here in Matthew 6:11. Jesus said, “Give us this day our daily bread. “(Stop here)

Now, there are at least 4 reminders that our Lord Jesus wants us to never forget when we are making our request or our petitions known unto our Father in Heaven.

First, we have a generous benefactor as our Heavenly Father. Now, notice this 5th Godly phrase revealed unto us here in Matthew 6:11. Which says, “Give us this day our daily bread. “(Stop here)

This important Godly phrase from our Lord Jesus implies that there must be someone on our behalf who is, our provider. Our benefactor. Our Helper in whom we can trust. And in whom we can request and make known every need with the hope and expectation that they can provide for us according to their will, plan and purpose for us.

So, Who is this One that we can trust and depend upon no matter what? Well, let’s see again Matthew 6: 9. Which says Our Father in Heaven, whose name is to be Hallowed. (Stop here) Remember, the word “Name,” the way it is being used here is referring to the person within the context of verse, and not the spelling of their “name.”

In other words, “Name” the way it is being used here is referring to, the presence and the position that person has with you and I.

And as Heavenly Father one of the important position He has with us, He is our provider because we are in Christ Jesus, and we are His spiritual children, His spiritual sons and daughters.

Now, remember there are at least 4 reminders that our Lord Jesus wants us to never forget when we are making our request or our petitions known unto Our Father in Heaven.

And the second one is we have the privilege to make thankful requests on a daily basis unto our Heavenly Father. But never immature demands or commands. Nor, childish assumptions or presumptions, just because we feel we are entitled as His children.

Please notice again Matthew 6: 11a. Give Us! (Question) - is this demand or commands that we are making to God, or is it a thankful request? Also this verb ‘Give’ that is used here in Matthew 6:11a means, to grant or permit unto one.

So again, let’s remember we have a unique and special privilege to make thankful requests on a daily basis daily unto our Heavenly Father. But never immature demands or commands. Nor, childish assumptions or presumptions, just because we feel we are entitled as His Children.

Now remember, there are at least 4 reminders that our Lord Jesus wants us to never forget when we are making our request or our petitions known unto Our Father in Heaven.

And the third one is we have a Heavenly Father who has endless resources. Or, He can make whatever is needed for however long without interruptions or depleted resources. And whether it is in this fallen world. Or, in Heaven itself, our Father’s House. Or, in the New Heavens and New Earth that is to come,

We have a Heavenly Father who has endless resources. Or He can make whatever is needed for however long without interruptions or depleted resources.

Now, notice lets again Matthew 6:11. “Give us this day! “(Stop here)

Now, also lets see in Luke 11: 3. Which Says it A Little Different. “Give us day by day,” (Stop here)

Now, let’s see Exodus 16: 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day which is the Sabbath, there will be none given. 31 And the house of Israel called it’s name “Manna. “And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. 35 And the children of Israel ate “Manna” forty years until they came to an inhabited land; they ate “Manna” until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

Also, see Deuteronomy 8:4. Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.

Now remember, there are at least 4 reminders that our Lord Jesus wants us to never forget when we are making our request or our petitions known unto Our Father In Heaven.

And the fourth one is our Heavenly Father will provide for our spiritual needs and our physical needs which in the Scriptures, it is simply called, “bread!”

Now, notice Matthew 6:11. Which says, “Give us this day our daily bread. (Stop here) Bread in this contexts is both the spiritual things we need, As well as the physical things we need.

First, let’s consider some of the spiritual things we need.

Now, see Exodus 25: 30. And you shall set the showbread on the table before Me, always! The Showbread (Bread of the Presence). Now in the tabernacle, the priests placed showbread before the Lord as a continual offering. This symbolized God’s presence and provision for His people - not just physically, but spiritually.

What was is the Showbread (Bread of the Presence) (Exodus 25:30). The bread of the Presence (also called the showbread or shewbread in some translations) was special bread always present on a table in the tabernacle (and later in the temple). Leviticus 24:5–7 describes this bread:

“You shall take fine flour and bake twelve loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah shall be in each loaf. And you shall set them in two piles, six in a pile, on the table of pure gold before the Lord. And you shall put pure frankincense on each pile, that it may go with the bread as a memorial portion as a food offering to the Lord.”

This bread of the Presence was 1) made of fine flour, 2) baked in 12 loaves, 3) arranged in two piles of six loaves each on a table of pure gold, 4) covered with frankincense, and 5) served as a memorial food offering to the Lord. The bread could only be eaten by Aaron and his sons in a holy place and was set out every Sabbath day (Leviticus 24:8–9).

The bread of the Presence is first mentioned in Exodus 25:30. God instructed for it to be placed on the golden table in the tabernacle. The bread is also listed in the contributions for the tabernacle in Exodus 35:13 and noted as part of the completed tabernacle in Exodus 39:36. In Numbers 4 the Kohathites, who were sons of Levi, were given responsibility for the care of the table of showbread.

First Chronicles 9:32 says, “Also some of their kinsmen of the Kohathites had charge of the showbread, to prepare it every Sabbath.” This bread was likely prepared on each Friday and placed in the tabernacle on each Sabbath in two piles of six. It would be replenished each week, allowing the priests to eat fresh bread in the holy place.

At one point in David’s life, when he was on the run from Saul, he asked the priest Ahimelech for food. The priest gave David the bread of the Presence, since it was the only bread available (1 Samuel 21:1–6). David was not a priest, so it was technically unlawful for him to eat the showbread. Jesus later refers to this event, using it as proof that the Law was designed for man’s benefit, and that Christ is Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:1–8; Mark 2:25–27; Luke 6:3–5).

The Old Testament showbread placed on the table in the tabernacle provides a wonderful picture of Jesus, the Bread of Life. Jesus is holy before God, He provides true sustenance, and He is always present. “Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry’” (John 6:35).

One other New Testament reference, Hebrews 9:1–2, mentions the table of showbread as one of the items in the first section of the tabernacle. Also, included in that place was the lampstand. Verse 15 notes, “Therefore, Jesus is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance.” The context explains that the important aspects of the Jewish law were no longer necessary since Christ has become high priest once and for all.

Now remember, our Lord Jesus Said Give us this day our daily (Bread), And bread in this context is both the spiritual things we need, as well as, the physical things we need. And With God’s help Right now we are focusing on the spiritual things we need.

Now, see Ephesians 1:3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, (Stop here)

Those blessing in the heavenly places are *Those things that money cannot buy, *Nor can man make or sell. *No store or online company carries.

Aren’t you grateful at the end of the month you don’t get a bill from heaven demanding payment for services rendered during that month, like God’s angels who protected us day and night, like the Holy Spirit teaching us on a regular basis.
