The So-Called Lord's Prayer Is For Who...?

Send us a text

I recently saw a reel on Instagram where the Bible teacher wrote in his introduction about the so-called, Lord's prayer. This teacher wrote in the introduction to the video, "Did you know that Jesus actually modeled for us how to pray? Share this with someone who struggles with knowing how they should pray!" 

He goes on to say in the video, "Jesus gives us a model prayer that we're not supposed to say word for word, but it gives a good model," So, how does he know that?  And then he goes on to quote it word for word.

The teacher begins with Matthew 6:9, "In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name." (From the NKJV)
He inserted, "So it starts by addressing and then praising God."

Then he reads Matthew 6:10, "Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven."
He inserts, "We're then supposed to recognize that God's will is the highest priority even with an eternal perspective."

Then he reads Matthew 6:11, "Give us this day our daily bread."
And inserts, "This is asking God for help with our tangible needs."

Then Matthew 6:12, "And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors."
And inserts, "This is working on our relationship with God and then with other people."

Reads Matthew 6:13, "And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one."
Inserts, "This portion should be dedicated to overcoming sin." 

Reads Matthew 6:13 continued, "For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
Finishes by inserting "Just like we started with worship, we end with worship."

Do you pray the ever-popular, so-called, Lord's prayer?
If so, have you ever stopped to think why you pray it? 
Is it because you always have since your were little?
Or perhaps because a church you joined prays it?
Well, today I'm going to provide evidence of why we should not be praying that prayer today, and that, even though it's called the Lord's prayer, the Lord Jesus Christ never prayed it. I'll demonstrate from God's word that he could not have prayed that prayer.

I hope you enjoyed this episode of Brother Scott's Look in the Book, and most of all, I pray you learned from it and that it helped you dive deeper into God's word, which he places above his very name.
(Psalm 138:2 KJV) (2) I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

God gives us instruction on how to study our Bibles:
(2 Timothy 2:15 KJV) (15) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Please do not only go by what I say, but do the work and study for yourself.

Become so familiar with the truth in God's word, that when a counterfeit Bible or preacher comes along, you will immediately recognize it. That is how you fool-proof yourself.
