Prayer is a very powerful tool for the well being of a person. It brings him hope. It makes him believe that the impossible can be a possibility. Usually however, he prays for selfish reason. Thus, when the Apostles asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, I could not help but wonder if the reason was to help others or to become well-known miracle workers. The Jews are a very prayerful people that believe in miracles. They have a tradition going back to Adam, Noah, Moses and Solomon that by the right rituals or prayers or names of God one could perform miracles. For sure the apostles knew how to pray and the holy names of God. Yet why did they ask Jesus to teach them how to pray? What could be the reason? They saw Jesus performed miracles that they could not perform. They were very much impressed that they could not suppress their desire for Jesus to teach them how. But Jesus surprised them by teaching them a simple prayer instead of a complicated ritual or prayer. The prayer that Jesus taught is now known as the "Lord's Prayer" or the "Our Father". Since then, the Apostles were able to perform the same miracles as Jesus did. Was the Lord's Prayer the key to the miracles performed by the Apostles? If so, then this must be a very powerful prayer and would answer the question why Jesus taught only one prayer. The Lord's Prayer may not be as simple as it seems. People go to seminars, buy books, search for amulets and talismans for prosperity and health and look for gurus. Why not try the prayer taught by one of the greatest spiritual teachers, Jesus? This book is the most comprehensive book ever written about the Lord's Prayer. It traces the origin of the prayer and its possible source. Was Jesus really the author of the prayer? If so, why was not the prayer mentioned in the Gospels of Mark and John nor in the writings of Paul or the Gnostics? Who placed this prayer in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke? Why is there no original Hebrew version of the prayer considering that Jesus and the Apostles were Jews and the place was Judea? This book will reveal the answers and the secret code that has been hidden from the masses but revealed to a select few. It deals also with the secret teachings of Jesus called the Kabalah, allegedly an ancient oral tradition handed down from generation to generation originating from Adam to Seth, Abraham, Moses, David to Solomon and to the High Priest. It reveals the secret of creation, the origin of man, evolution and intelligent design; the location of the Garden of Eden and the Deluge. The Code shows the relation of the Lord's Prayer to ancient civilizations like Sumer, Egypt, Israel, China and the Meso-Americans. Even the probable and possible future events are also revealed more particularly the years 2006 and 2012. The Code was discovered thru the use of the Kabalah and the Equidistant Letter Sequence used in decoding the Bible. This book reveals how to harness the power of the Lord's Prayer and how to experience the miracles performed by Jesus and the Apostles. This book will show that the Lord's Prayer is not only a prayer but is a code that reveals untold doctrines and settles issues like the following: Who was the author of the Lord's Prayer? Why did the Apostles ask Jesus to teach them how to pray? Did Jesus teach secret doctrines to the Apostles like the Kabalah? Can we perform the miracles the Apostles did? What is the speech of "Babies"? Why are ancient civilizations like Sumer, Egypt, Israel, MesoAmerica and China in the Code? Why are the Pyramids and the Sphinx mentioned in the Code and who built them? Why is President Bush in the Code? Was the September 11,2001 tragedy in the Code? Is there really an "End Time"? Why is Sen. Barack H. Obama in the Code? Another intriguing question in the book is if there are many forgeries in the New Testament, what is the truth? What matters most, the teacher or the teaching? There are many c
Taking the Lord's Prayer clause by clause, Wright locates this prayer within the historical life and work of Jesus and allows the prayer's devotional application to grow out of its historical context. Grasping the Lord's Prayer in its original setting can be the starting point for a fresh understanding of Christian spirituality and the life of prayer. This is spirituality to stimulate and refresh both the heart and the mind.

The Lord's Prayer (Touchstone Texts) by William M. IV Wright Pdf
Since the beginning of Christianity, the Lord's Prayer has occupied an important place in the lives of Jesus's disciples, for it is the prayer Jesus himself taught them. Like other biblical prayers, the Lord's Prayer contains words people offer to God. But since this prayer is from Jesus and is part of Scripture, it is also God's Word to people. When we say this prayer, not only are we speaking to God, but God is also speaking to us. Highly regarded New Testament scholar William Wright shows how this classic text can speak afresh to the life of the church today. He integrates critical exegesis, theological exposition, and Christian spirituality to explicate the theological substance of the Lord's Prayer. His goal is to help readers come to know God and love God and others more deeply through a focused study of this important Christian prayer. The Touchstone Texts series addresses key Bible passages, making high-quality biblical scholarship accessible to the church. The series editor is Stephen B. Chapman, Duke Divinity School.
The author writes: The so-called 'Lord's Prayer' is full of surprises. For one thing, the Lord could never have used it himself, with its central and longest plea for forgiveness. Though he gave it as a model for private prayer, it has become the most common corporate liturgy of the church. Its brevity is striking, consistent with his criticism of pagan devotions with their 'many words'. Above all, it is comprehensive, covering all the basic concerns of a Christian, while clearly indicating that these should cover God's needs (honour and loyalty) before his or her own (food and forgiveness). Even though it begins with God, whom Jesus called 'my' Father, but we must say 'our' Father, it ends with the devil: deliver us from the evil (one). It is for weekdays rather than Sundays. Try using it for a month.
The Lord's Prayer has nurtured Christians throughout the ages. Yet today it is often well known--but little understood frequently repeated--but seldom contemplated much loved as Jesus's model prayer--but attacked by some for naming God "Father." Martin Luther said, "To this day I am still nursing myself on the Lord's Prayer like a child and am still eating and drinking of it like an old man without getting bored with it." The Lord's Prayer can still offer such nourishment.
