[8]: Final Points [Please click to read ⚡️]
- The Lord’s Prayer: The Lord’s Prayer is more than a closing script. Recite it slowly, and invite the Holy Spirit to explain each line to you.
- Matthew 6:9-13 (NKJV): In this manner, therefore, pray:
- Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
- Your kingdom come.
- 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.
- Prayer + Action: Don’t forget to pray and take action. Seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance on the actions or steps you should take.
- Praying in Tongues: This is also powerful.
- The Holy Spirit: If you haven’t already, we recommend going through the lesson on the Holy Spirit.
- Your Authority in Christ: You can also check out the lesson on Your Authority in Christ. Understanding this will help you grasp how to pray from a place of authority and sonship.
