Jesus of Nazareth taught "How' to pray and "How" to live as a Citizen of the Kingdom of God

Jesus of Nazareth taught how to Pray and How to live in the Kingdom of God.I believe there are pro-active positive, scripture based solutions to the many problems our nation and the world are facing as we move into the future.Some will not accept and prepare, others will say we will hear you again later, however others will listen and embrace scripture based solutions that will bring Heaven's Kingdom blessings upon them.Jesus when He taught the disciples "How" to pray said, "Our Father."We pray, communicate; talk with Him, acknowledging Our Father who is in Heaven. It's powerful, personal and intimate."Hallowed be thy name." We acknowledge Him giving Him all glory honor and praise."Thy Kingdom come!"We are to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, expecting the day to come when He sets up the Kingdom of God physically upon Earth.""On Earth as it is in Heaven."It is interesting to me that the goal of many churches is to help people to go to "Heaven." This seems to be opposite of the Lord's goal is to get "Heaven to come to earth."We are to look with anticipation for The Lord's government for solutions, and not man's government. When His government is established by Him, He will rule over the entire Earth.I believe part of our responsibilities is to follow the example of Jesus of Nazareth and going about “Our Fathers Business”, which begins with preaching the “The Gospel of the Kingdom of God” which includes the “Gospel of Salvation.”"Give us this day our daily bread" The Father knows we have needs even before we ask Him. He provides for the birds that do not sow, reap nor do they store up. This is a beautiful picture The Lord painted with words to illustrate “How” Our Father will provide for those who "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness".“And forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”This is the part of the Kingdom attitude we are to have as “Kingdom Citizens.” Jesus taught the Eight Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount. Notice these are Be Attitudes and not Do Attitudes, meaning these are the attitudes a Kingdom Citizens should endeavor to live by in the way we treat others.This first beatitude is one of being “Poor in Spirit” or the attitude of true humility.How can we expect forgiveness if we will not forgive?“Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.”Matthew 6:13 (King James Version)13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:James 1:13 (King James Version)13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:God does not tempt us with evil; however He does deliver us from evil.Our Father does not lead us into temptation in order to test us to see if we will resist temptation or not. (To think this is actually blasphemy because it attributes to God something He does not do.)“For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.The Lord Jesus closes His instruction of “How” to pray by teaching His disciples to again to submit by acknowledging the Fathers Kingdom, Power and Glory!The message of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is what I have come to believe was the focus of the Lord’s mission on earth. To preach the Kingdom of God is at hand and then to teach those who responded on “How” to become a Kingdom Citizen and to live as a Kingdom Citizen in the attitude of the Kingdom of God.If we can learn to live as Jesus lived and taught others to live we can again be blessed by God with His Kingdom Blessing and at the same time prepare to be with the Lord during His Millennium Kingdom someday in the future.
