Every Time We Think We Are Right
Just assume we are wrong, nd “OUR” Father knows Best!First time around needs direction from experienced hands. Been there and done that! Be very afraid to barge in where Angels fear to tread. Who’s going to give heads up for what to do?To wish for warning signs when we are oblivious to the obvious direction we’re headed makes common sense. Wise guys can see danger in today’s decisions that connect to tomorrows safe place to “BE”, but if we simply press on arrogantly enough to believe that if we keep on going the way we are, we will suffer for it. We better think again where we’re headed. For all intent and purposes we may “BE” where we thought we would wind up “BE”ing. So what’s the question? Asking people, places and things are unreliable. “OUR” King can help us now?Act as if “OUR” future is now, what can we do to take refuge? “OUR” hiding place prepared for us To Pray and taking action to “BE” ready with no worry about tomorrow.One day at a time to “BE” and to “DO” Your will and plan for us is not hidden somewhere in a corner for us to uncover, but we see what You give to us, a Word to the wise to escape so great a persecution coming. “OUR” hiding place to deliver us from the evil one and difficult circumstances that affects everyone. To simply keep going on, “BE”ing obstinate to the way it leads doesn’t make sense to the consequences of avoiding the principles of life and where it is taking us. Exception from the rules that govern us, to avoid the inevitable, we can expect the predictable cause-and-effect of ignoring the rules of the rod. See the crash coming, we better steer clear!

The Way Up Is Down
Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. ( “OUR” Father) He had equal status with God (Who art) but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. (In Heaven) When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity (Hallowed “BE”) and took on the status of a slave, became human! (Thy Name) Having become human, (Thy Kingdom Come) he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. (Thy Will “BE” Done”) He didn't claim special privileges. (“Give us this day”) Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life (“OUR” Daly Bread”) and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion. (“Forgive us “OUR” debts”) Because of that obedience, (“As we forgive) God lifted him high and honored him far beyond anyone or anything, (“OUR” Debtors”) ever, so that all created beings in heaven and on earth—even those long ago dead and buried—(“Lead us”) will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ, (“not into temptation”) and call out in praise that he is the Master of all, (“but deliver us from evil”) to the glorious honor of God the Father. (Thine is the Kingdom, power and glory forever. AMEN!)PHIL. 2:5-11

Matthew 6:13 KJV
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
1 Chronicles 29:11 KJV
Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory,and the victory, and the majestyThat is, either God is possessed of all greatness and immensity, of dignity of nature, and of all perfections; of almighty power, of excellent glory, of superiority to all beings and of honour, and majesty, and all that grandeur, might, and honour in men, and victory over others; the majestic appearance they make, and exaltation above others they have, are all of God:
for all that is in the heaven and in the earth [is thine];they are both made by him, and all that is in them, and therefore he has the sole right unto them:
thine is the kingdom, O Lord;of nature and Providence; he has the sole dominion over all creatures, and the sovereign disposal of all things:
and thou art exalted as head above all;men on earth, and angels in heaven.
For Yours is the Kingdom, Power and Glory

"OUR" Prayer JournalThis addition to "OUR" prayer is just as good as what you might add. What would you say to complete what "OUR" Lord would want us To Pray? You have asked for His Kingdom come now comes the admission that is His power to accomplish this, and if it is all about Him working out in us His salvation then all glory honor is already His. I just need to know to give that all back to Him. Everything else about "OUR" prayer is His. He taught us To Pray, but we can give back the adoration due His Name. Praise is "OUR" gift to the giver of a Kingdom the lasts forever and ever. AMEN!How would you conclude this prayer?

THY KINGDOM COME
When a son is born into a royal family, he inherits all of the benefits and privileges of that family. It is the same when we are born again into the family of God. We truly do become part of a royal family, because Jesus “hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father” (Revelation 1:6).
Can you imagine the child of a king growing up in poverty, not realizing the great inheritance that was left for him, which he never claimed? This is often the condition of believers who fail to comprehend or appropriate their new status that comes by being born again into God’s family.
When we don’t fully comprehend or appropriate what we receive at our new birth, others will fail to see that we are children of the King of kings and Lord of lords.
It would require many pages to describe all of the marvelous benefits and privileges that we receive the moment we are born again. Following is a list of some of them:
We are enriched by Jesus Christ in everything (see I Corinthians 1:5).
We are called unto the fellowship of His Son (see I Corinthians 1:9).
We are given the mind of Christ (see I Corinthians 2:16).
We become laborers together with God (see I Corinthians 3:9).
Our bodies are the temple of God (see I Corinthians 3:16).
We have God’s Spirit dwelling in us (see I Corinthians 3:16).
We are members of Christ’s body (see I Corinthians 6:15).
We are given spiritual gifts for the good of all (see I Corinthians 12:4–11).
We are made to triumph in Christ (see II Corinthians 2:14).
We are accepted in the Lord Jesus Christ (see Ephesians 1:6).
We are forgiven of sin and redeemed through Christ’s blood (see Ephesians 1:7).
We are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus (see Ephesians 2:6).
We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ unto good works (see Ephesians 2:10).
We are reconciled to God (see Ephesians 2:16).
We are members of God’s household (see Ephesians 2:19).
We are rooted and grounded in love (see Ephesians 3:17).
We are more than conquerors through Christ (see Romans 8:37).
We can do all things through Christ, Who gives us strength (see Philippians 4:13).
The more we comprehend what we have in Christ, the greater will be our self-worth and our ability to claim God’s provisions.
Satan’s goal is to rob us of the potential that we have in Christ. His efforts will be thwarted as we continue to study and understand our position in Christ. Let’s rejoice in the many provisions He has given us and ask Him for the wisdom to fully experience each one in our lives.
Through Christ our Lord,

He shall receive from the Lord, and the righteousness from the God of his salvation.” (Psalm 24)

God is "OUR" Father
D.N.A. Testing – Cloned by the blood of Jesus Christ.
“Life is in the blood” (Messiah genetic code of “Our Father”)
D.N.A.’s biological essence carries genetic information from Father parent cell providing unique personhood, physical characteristic. Who you are, one in a billion, DNA fingerprint, in essence, our identity.
“Let us make man in Our Image”. Identified with (God) Our intelligent designer, Father. An intelligent creator designed life (not genetic mutations) in involving an entire egg, fertilized to write a genetic coded development program of a person. Written into this structure is a language (Words made flesh), DNA (seed ‘Word of God’ implant fertile) “The glory of the only begotten of the Father” (Jn.1:12) Mouth to mouth resuscitation, “The breath of life”, man becomes a living “BE”ing. Out of Adam, (the first God made man) side God makes a woman (cloned) mans genes (Identity in her man). Her deception to become godlike, shares the forbidden fruit from “the midst of the garden”, brings sin’s lie to Adam’s race. Left alone to become gods, their struggle to survive separates them from the God who made them like Himself. To provide cover for them, protecting them from the naked garden of flesh, the blood sacrifice of a substitute skin offering, hiding their shame.
Sin’s shame covered by the blood of Jesus gives us a new (birth) image of identity from death separation from “Our Father” to new life generated into a person I have never been before. Now “BE”ing “conformed into the image” of His only dear Son, Jesus, “Word becomes flesh”, imparting knowledge of His life through His spirit, Holy as He is. “He (God) has made Him (Christ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we may be made (as good as God) the righteousness of God in Him.” (II Cor.5:21)
“He has laid on Him (Jesus) the iniquity of us all.”
DNA perfectly identifies the person. You cannot remain anonymous. The image God imparts to a believer in Jesus is through the identity in the blood of Jesus. His death, burial and resurrection powerfully gives life to the faithful by an immersion into someone regenerated now new, identified in “BE”ing dead to sins separation from God’s image, raised to walk in newness of life. Identity of a Christian is “In Christ” and Christ’s image stamped in the Christian’s heart.
We are now “In Christ” and He is “In us”! (Imprint of Himself) Virgin Mary bares “the express image of God.” Father produces the blood line. D.N.A.’s identity of the Holy Spirit. Surrogate Virgin Mother brings the “Son of God” who’s blood is from His Father.
The blood of Jesus “covers a multitude of sin”, giving life that lasts forever is the DNA composite code of our individuality in Him. He is our identity. Our I AM AGE, we know and are known through Him.
