JOHN 17 – OUR LORD’S PRAYER
LESSON 1 V. 1
Prayer is not just important, it is vital. That is why Jesus gave his disciples a model to follow. It is found in Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. Church tradition has erroneously labeled it
“the Lord’s Prayer.”
Since it is our model to follow, it would be more accurate to call it
“The Believer’s Prayer”
since it was for us.
The true “Lord’s Prayer” is found in John 17. This was HIS prayer to the Father. It was the earnest of His heart. It seems that nobody preaches or teaches on our Lord’s prayer, but many teach on The Believer’s Prayer, although they call it by its’ traditional name given to it by the early Roman church.
Today we shall start a series of lessons on the true Lord’s Prayer in John 17. We will go verse by verse because there is so much in it for us to learn. It actually contains the deepest and clearest teaching on the relationship of the believer to the Son, and the Son to the Father. It is truly exciting when we come to understand this.
Verse 1 says that Jesus, with the disciples being present, lifted up His eyes to heaven and said,
“Father the hour is come.”
He knew the Father’s redemptive plan. He knew He had to this point fulfilled all Messianic prophecy. He knew it was now that the time (the hour) had arrived when His path to the cross (traditionally called The Passion of Christ) must begin. It was immediately after this prayer that He went to the Garden of Gethsemane where He was taken captive.
“Father…. glorify Thy Son (so) that thy Son also may glorify thee.”
- Glorify: to give glory; to make glorious; to praise, honor; worship; to make more beautiful or splendid; to exalt to the glory of heaven.
- Glory: great praise and honor given to someone; something that brings praise and honor; adoring praise and thanksgiving; radiant beauty; brightness; magnificence; splendor.
The glory of God exceeds the above dictionary definitions for where the glory of God dwells, everything is in perfection. All is “shalom,” peace, wholeness, nothing broken and nothing missing. Where His glory dwells, there can be no sin.
Jesus glorified Father God, who in turn has glorified the Son. Philippians 2:9-11 declares of Jesus
, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven, in earth, and under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
There is no greater name over heaven or earth or hell than the name of Jesus.

REMOVE NOT THE ANCIENT LANDMARK
In Proverbs 22:28 it says,
“remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.”
Again, in Deuteronomy 19:14, it says,
“thou shalt not remove thy neighbor’s landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.”
The landmark was also a physical boundary stone. It showed where one’s property ended. It wasn’t easy to move it, but it could be moved. God warned his people not to remove this boundary. In Hosea 5:10 it says,
“The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore, I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.”
Boundaries establish whose side you are on. In the natural, as with Israel, it showed where their land was. God gave it to them, and no one was to take that boundary away. If they did God’s wrath would be poured out. Have you noticed when any country causes Israel to give up land, that many times destruction comes to the country that worked out that “ungodly” plan? It is very dangerous for anyone to go against what God says by taking away Israel’s land.
Landmarks also mean where we “stand” in situations. The Supreme Court has made many “landmark” decisions that changed our country. These decisions often go contrary to the Word of God and will eventually bring the wrath of God upon our country if the decisions are not reversed. Some of these landmark decisions involved prayer in school, gay marriage, abortion, and more.
The Church has removed the ancient landmark when it winked at sin such as homosexuality and allowed it to come into the Church and even into the pulpit. Our nation has allowed foreign gods to come in and they have been determined to take Christianity out. The landmark has been moved. Only when God’s people say no more and take it back will things change.
Where do you stand on issues? Is your heart making a stand with what God says, or have you gone the way of “removing the landmark?” One day we will all stand before God, and our lives will be like a slideshow. Have we deliberately removed God’s landmarks from our lives? Have we slipped a little and caused it to slowly be removed through negligence and lack of repentance? If God judged Judah for doing this, certainly He would only be just in doing it to us also.

THIS COMES FROM A POST I PUT ON FACEBOOK ORIGINALLY PUT OUT IN 2016, BUT IT IS MOST RELEVANT FOR THIS HOUR
As I write this, my heart is heavy when I see what has happened throughout our country. Do I like what is happening in the United States? No, I don't like it. Is it a surprise? No, it is not a surprise. God has said in Matthew 24 that these kinds of things are going to happen and worse before he comes back. There would be iniquity (lawlessness) in the land.Read it for yourselves. I want you to read a prophetic word that was given to me over a year ago, I am re-posting it because it is so relevant.
May 15, 2015
A prophetic word given to Helen Sanders from the Lord.
There is a wind coming, again I would say, there is a wind coming, and I am in the wind. It shall come as surely as the sun rises and sets, and it shall produce what I call it to do. The wind shall bring change, and it shall change rapidly. It shall bring destruction and it shall bring restoration. The wind is of me; do not think that I will not be in the wind, for have I not said that I would blow on the houses of the dark side and blow things in such a way as to bring perversion out of this land? Have I not said that I would bring glory to the land and it shall rise and be upon the earth in such a way that you will know that I am God. Yes, there is a wind coming and it shall blow and cause shaking in such a way that there will be cleansing, a cleansing of the land. I have seen the sin and it comes into my nostrils, and it is a stench so great that I cannot stand the smell any more. I will bring judgment upon the land, and it shall be cleansed. Oh that my people would have brought the word in a mighty way so that I do not have to bring judgment, but they have failed, and they have gone the way of the world. I have wept, I have prayed, I have interceded for the people, but to no avail. They have called good evil, and evil good. I have wept much, but it is now time for cleansing, and I will bring it. It shall come suddenly, and there shall be much wailing and crying in the streets. There shall be much pointing of the finger, saying “where is God”, and they shall know where I am. I am in the cleansing and I am in the wind. I have had many cry unto me, but the sounds of their cries are far outweighed by the sound of the rebellious nation that I am soon to cleanse. Why would you not see that I hate sin? Why would you not see that I have called your nation to repentance, and it would not? Yes, there is a remnant, but there are fewer than you think saith the Lord, and I will preserve the remnant, but they shall see that their prayers will be rewarded by the cleansing of this land. The wind will blow at all four corners. There shall be shaking and twisting and uprooting of the sin that has been a stench in my nostrils, and the land will be redeemed by this wind. I have said it would come, and it is at the door. Prepare yourselves for the time is short. Make ready for the coming of this wind, and stand strong in my faith, for the cleansing shall be as the wind that uprooted the house that stood on sand. It shall fall, and it shall be crushed when the winds come. Prepare yourselves like you have never done before. There are many that need to hear my word, and be saved from destruction, but there are many that will not hear. The wind is coming saith the Lord. The wind is coming. Be prepared saith the Lord.
Many are saying "why is God allowing this?" My friends it isn't God that is allowing this. We have brought into this country a religion that is based on hate, and it is determined to take us down. Why were they allowed in? The answer is simple. We as the Church have not shared Christ with friends and families. We sit back in our houses and spend our time on frivolous things that are empty and have no life in them, while our nation turns itself away from God. We blame others and don't take responsibility for our own sin. Yes, sin my friends. Sin is so rampant in the streets. there is no REPENTANCE in the Church and in this nation. God has warned us over and over yet we refuse to change. Things are going to get a lot worse, and the freedom we have had is going to be gone. You may call yourself Christian, but are living in fornication, which is sex outside marriage, and adultery, which is sex with someone other than your husband or wife. You may think that it is okay, but God calls it sin. Many are into pornography and are drunkards. There will be none of these in Heaven. Repent, and turn back to God before he says "I never knew you". Many mock God and blaspheme. Evil is called good and good called evil. This is what the Bible said it would be like before Christ returns. Wake up, repent, get right with God before it is too late. Sad to say I don't see a great revival coming to America the way some say. God is judging this nation, and out of the judgment will come a remnant. We are living in the days of Noah. Just like then evil was continual. God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Why would we think it won't happen here?
