Isaiah 50:11,
This is what we shouldn't do. This means, the natural tendency of every man is, when the pressure comes, the darkness settles in, when the storm hits the ship, and when you are surrounded on all sides, is to try and deliver ourselves. That's just human nature. We start striking matches......

We're just prone to, in darkness, to get the flesh in motion, instead of just standing still and do what God tells us is the answer in order that the salvation of the Lord might be released.....

If your in darkness, instead of striking matches, offer a deeper surrendered life, and grab hold of Gods word and what He says.

When we learn the ways of God, we shove the match box a little bit more out of reach....

1) God didn't seek and save that which is lost, and after He finds you, He plays hide and go seek with you for the rest of your life.....

2) We are being trained to be Sons of God.

3) The only joy we're promised here and now is "His presence."

Knowledge is read but not really understood till it happens right to ya. Then at that point we get our own personal knowledge but yes it's all over Jesus teaching many just put your head down and walk away from him . I'll follow you after I bury my father. There are they are all excuses . And for us they are a warnings or things to look for and it's pretty obvious Not much has changed. Yeah people are going to see it differently by scripture knowledge is a hands on event. Just like the others and then they wrote about it.
 
Here is one
Where is that in Scripture?
Of the most Giving of Al.l!
you can hardly read plain in Scripture Let's Look At Joseph Mary husband.listen to the Angel speak .
because the angel told Joseph that Jesus would take the eternal Throne of David.

Now knowing Him by The Holy Spirit its very ez to see Joseph wisdom knowledge and understanding Holding Nothing of Himself from God! To understand this we need some, ot understanding and NT One is the two blood lines and know that legally Joseph was Jesus father.thats the twist Only God could do By law ! Story short Joseph knew he was not to see jesus fullfill All cus The seat Joseph held Needed to be vacated of himself ,life shorten .Joseph knew that and Thats why is was spoken.

To me this is one of the greatest things I've seen a man do for God
 
Where is that in Scripture?

The reason we are to pray the "Lords prayer", the way Jesus said, is God has chosen in His covenants with us to make us the agents to bring heavens norm down. And making Gods will on earth as it is in heaven, and making Gods kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

It's nothing new to have Gods word of promise contradicted by circumstance. What the word of promise awaits is someone who no matter what the circumstances will say, " Forever, OLord, thy word is settled in heaven. "
I dont pray the prayer, jesus said in like manner .Repetition is Not of The Lord ,there are many ways to Glorify His name . I did apologize to the Lord Once because I heard how men pray to him and I felt bad for the Lord
I mean it was hard to listen to !

I agree. The Lord's prayer is not meant to be a formula that we repeat over and over. It is meant as a guide. We pray for what is truly on our hearts. And Jesus teaches us what should be foremost on our hearts -- The kingdom and Forgiveness of others.

Being specific, He said not to pray in "vain" repetition .

That's highly unlikely for one with the Spirit and mind of Christ to do.

So let me keep track, pray anywhere audibly, when He specifically told us to pray in secret? And now, don't pray the Lords prayer, even though He told us to pray it?

Anything else we should ignore.

How about , " where ever this gospel is preached, tell what this woman did".

I only know one preacher that does that.

Jesus said on the mount of olives, "pray that you enter not into temptation ". The Lords of prayer does that.

We tend to pray in the middle of temptation, instead praying before the temptation comes. We should be expecting the tempter and the temptations.

1) We need to pray every morning to be spared temptation, this is a command of Jesus.

2) Be careful, when our day is filled with doing things for God, but never talking to Him. Prayer is talking to God, meditation is listening to God.

3) Quit looking for special revelations of Gods special and unknown will for you, until you're acting on what's already known to do.

1) When we think God is turning loose of us , we are actually turning loose of Him by Following a far off.

2) when you feel like you have been kicked by the Lord, hug Him close! Don't keep Him at a distance so He can't reach you.

3) With God, peace comes with unconditional surrender at the altar.

1) Peace, is "cessation of againstness ". You have peace, when againstness ceases, when hostilities stop, when arguing has ended, when surrender is complete.

2) There's nothing that happens to the saint of God, that He doesn't let through.

1) Christ made eternal life totally dependant upon making Him our master.

2) In the tabernacle, we are a type of candlestick that is to shine the light by the Holy Spirit. We are a constantly shinning light of witness .

3) The best witness , is a constantly shinning one, and a constantly flowering one. Our witness is a life, flowering out His nature.

1) When the going gets tough, the tough get tougher.

2) Once you surrender your life and will over to God. It's harder to get out of His will, than it is to stay in it.

3) There are 2 deaths for the unsaved. The physical and the eternal.

1) Faith is the substance of things hoped for. Not fact!
When that which is hoped for becomes fact, faith by its very nature ceases to operate.

2) The faith connection can be renewed after 10,000 stumblings. But that faith connection must be maintained in order for eternal life to be there.

3) There is nothing more important in this life than ever increasing faith.

I see what we call the Lord's prayer to be the Tribulation prayer
 
Couple of suggestions:

Give us today our daily bread.

25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life

The righteous are already promised their food.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
but deliver us from the evil one.

The evil one is the antichrist who will reign during the Tribulation. One major reason I believe in the Pre-Tribulation rapture

Scripture doesn't agree with your comments.

Luke 19:1 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

John 1:12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
