Our Father, A deeper meaning.
Updated: Sep 12

Our Father who art' in heaven Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is heaven. Give us this day our heavenly(daily) bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom the power and the glory forever and ever.
The word association for daily may be further translated as heavenly if we dare to dream a bit based on the root words used in context. So in this we're not asking for the bread of the earth. We're asking for Word from our Father. His Bread that sustains life. The manna of the heavens brought to earth through our request.
Forgiveness is self explanatory... but basically the rule is. If you don't forgive all others, your heavenly father won't forgive you.
This starts our with glorifying him by saying He is Holy, and ends with Glorifying Him. This the example of ALL prayer and worship. you start with glorifying Him you say what you want to say, and you end with glorifying Him. Its a basic pattern that Jesus set for everyone to follow.
Evil deliverance... this usually encompasses poisons, eating things unknown to you to be poisoned will have no effect because the prayer is a protection against these things. It can also have the meaning for a request to the Father to be delivered from evil spirits.
Temptation: What can I say, the request is to ask for His help so that your day does not fall to the temptations of the flesh.
In the beginning of the prayer we start with the word "Our"
I generally take this to mean Jesus and I (Chist with us)
Or the many member-ed body of Christ
