Discuss Matthew 6 Page 30

God knows what we need before we ask for it.

Without God coming first in our lives we cannot please him.God is our source for every need in our lives.He will supply all your needs when you truly walk with him in spirit and ask him daily to direct your path, everything else is will fall into place when you live only to serve him in heart and soul.

It is amazing to me(after 39 years of being saved by GOD'S GRACE)the lengths that people will go to overstretch a passage. This has NOTHING to do with tongues. It is the DIVINE LOVE & preeminent nature of OUR MIGHTY GOD to care for our "needs"through our submission to HIS WILL. "AFTER THIS MANNER THEREFORE PRAY YE".

I believe 1Corinthians 14:2..."For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not unto men but unto God."
Until 1Corinthians 13:8-10 is fulfilled, I believe we can safely pray the will of God by using a prayer language that our carnal mind doesn't/can't interfere with. Our carnal words limit what we say to God, so our wants and our will are always in the way. As long as we are "thinking," those thoughts get in the way of Gods spirit speaking to our spirit. I find that after I speak my prayers in English, I use my prayer language to let the Spirit lead me, talk to me, and I know His Will will be done....Because He already knows what I need, I need to be able to HEAR it. God prepares our hearts, through His spirit, to accept the things we need. No expectations that are amiss and no disappointments.

verse 33,
its all about what i am in the Kingdom,how i dedicate myself to God my King,do i care that He is everything in my life? Do i put in my mind that He is the Master planner of everything i do? i should preach the word in season or out of season for the Name of Jehovah to be exalted in me and other who do His will all time

This chapter takes an individual from infant spiritually to maturity in spirit.

that is the major assignment of man on earth

Matthew 6;10 Thy Kingdom is here and now. His will is complete. Be on earth like it is heaven. Treat people right and you will be treated right. Follow him without fear and he will protect you. Because you are in heaven with power forever. This is how to be a man

I feel that people should take on board Matthew 6:33 as it is so important to seek the face of God. Be blessed.

@Kristy Atchley,,,the God we serve is a loving and forgiving God yet it is the New Testament where we find more written about forgiveness. Matthew 18:21-22 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Also, Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

However much life may be, however sweet or bitter you may think of it, however much you may struggle to make yourself comfortable worldly, REMEMBER all is vanity� Seek ye the kingdom of God first and everything shall be added unto you ( Matthew 6:33).

Mind you Jesus taught people how to pray and not what to pray, that prayer that Jesus prayed was a model prayer. That means we have to lern something from it and not pray the same pray everyday. What does the bible says about praying? It says pray without ceasing a non stop prayer. So you can't pray the same prayer of Jesus everyday but you can pray the way Jesus prayed everyday.

I believe that the Lord has spoken it all. There is no need to worry about materialistic things. I found out when you are Seeking the things of God and his rightouness for our lives, and doing whats right in the Lords sight, than he will take care of his own!! He said it in His word that all shall be added unto you, the things that you have need of and or concern with. God Will provide!! Praise God!!

I believe it means the secret chambers of your heart. God see the heart of man. That is the inner part of a man's spirit "the heart" You can be anywhere and pray from your heart. God judges the heart of man.

I wonder why so many Christians pray out loud in the congregation, when God's Word is so explicit in Mathew 6:6. Jesus has already taught us how to pray, in verses 7-13. Many of us seem to think that we must also teach others, by following the hypocrites of verse 5.

Verse 23 could mean where is my focus on the Lord or on the kingdoms of this world. When my eyes are on Jesus his light shines in me, but when my eyes are on this world, darkness comes through. It doesn�t mean we don�t take part in living, it means our life is hid in him; he is our all in all! Amen.

Seeking the kingdom of God is working on our faith in God by studying His teachings and putting them into practice in our lives. That is OBEDIENCE. As we grow in faith, we continue on to discern His will for us. Though at times it may not be to our wishes, we should completely submit to Him. That is TRUST. Let us not forget that in our seeking, we do not travel alone but should recognize Christ as the "light of the world". That is giving GLORY, HONOR, and PRAISE to our God. Follow Him as He would in all your plans, dreams, daily affairs... and in all these things order will fall into place in His time.

Jesus is the author and finisher of my life. I believe my Lord with all my heart, soul and mind; he that starts the work in us is able to finish it. This chapter has become true in the lowest point of my life.

@Mic, let's look at both verses 22 and 23: Jesus speaks about the Church (the body) and people who belong to the Church (members). He says that the light (teaching and inspiration) is provided by the eye (senior pastor) and that if he/she is single (of purpose) then great is the light coming from him to the Church. However, in stark contrast, if the senior pastor is not single of purpose then he/she is evil and the Church is in darkness.

Does it mean whatever is in your heart shows in your eyes?

I think verse 33 means to put God first in your life and try to follow his ways, and then he will bless you with food and clothes, and take care of all your needs.

I think the meaning is clear and unmistakable. Jesus uses body parts to represent people, just as He taught Paul to repeat in First Corinthians 12. The left hand is a person (or member of the Church, or perhaps one of His disciples) and the right hand is another person. Therefore, should Matthew be the left and Mark the right; He means "Matthew, do not divulge the amount of your alms and same for you, Mark. Keep it secret".

I think it�s tapping into the spiritual understanding of God�s intention when he created man and woman, acknowledging his supernatural powers.

Matthew 6:33, But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

God is the author of our lives, and there is nothing that we can do successfully on our own without His acknowledgement.

Moses here is speaking of the identity of the two genders, and it is a comparison to nature. Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 is reiterating the same principle in the church age that we read here in this passage. Just as we are not to change the identity of the genders for any reason, so Paul is saying the same thing in the New Testament. Consider this: God made the gender differences a very important part of our lives. He made the distinctions, not man. He designed the distinctions in hair lengths, and the distinctions in clothing, not man. This nature was established in Genesis and carries through to the book of Revelation and beyond. 1 Corinthians 14:33 �For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." God still expects us to follow His standards. Here are examples of how God's standards haven't changed: �I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering ( Isaiah 50:3).�
� Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? ( Matthew 6:30)�
�If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith ( Luke 12:28)?�
Isaiah tells us how God clothed the heavens, and continues to do so. In the Matthew and Luke passages, we see that God still has the same nature for grasses that existed thousands of years ago.

Jesus has just told a parable about a certain rich man. The rich man had more goods than he could store up, so he thought to himself, without being mindful of God, I shall build larger barns to bestow my goods. Then I will say to my soul, take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. Instead God said thou fool, this night, thy soul is required of thee, and to whom shall these goods be given? We have to remember God owns it all, and we are only stewards. We will have to give an account of our stewardship when we die. To whom much is given, much is required. It is wise to give those goods away while you are living, to the glory of God, and for the furtherance of His Kingdom. Beware of covetousness, for the life of a man does not consist in the abundance of the things that he has. Seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, then all these things will be added unto you. Matthew 6:33.

This chapter always comforts me when I am going through trials in my life, it reassures me that my God has everything under control. We have a wonderful forgiving God and I am blessed beyond comprehension. Thank you God for your goodness.

Now I have a question for you: Do you know what the water of live is? Revelation 22:17.

Your body = the garden Genesis 2:10. And a river (spinal cord) went out of Eden (brain/arc) to water the garden (body): from there it separated into four headwaters. Pison: urine --Gibon: intestinal tract --Tigris: blood --Euphrates: the nerve fluid.
