Quantum physics and entanglement. On that's basically it. Simply on earth as it is in heaven. So it, oh my god. So anyway, thank you Jesus. Thank you, Lord, that we laid our head down on you, the rock, and you opened up the heavens and you created a ladder. You busted a portal into another realm that you created for us from the very beginning. For in the beginning, he created the heavens and the earth, the material and the unmaterial, the seen and the unseen for us to live in, to travel in, to be part of, to enjoy, to communicate, to commune. And now Jesus has opened up that portal once again. And Lord, we now, Lord, our ears, our eyes, our hearts are open wide to you to receive from you the information, the revelation that we need to know how to access the endless blessings that you lavished upon us in these heavenly places. We thank you for that now, Lord. We thank you. We just, we just open up the scrolls and we loose the word of God here tonight upon ears and hungry hearts. And we thank you, Father. We thank you, Lord, that you're opening up your treasure house to us in the name of Yeshua Hamashiach, Jehovah Rafa. So, we're continuing our theme and Maria is going to pick it up tonight and she's gonna.
All right. Elohim. I don't know. I just felt like they had to get out. I was trying to hold it back. It just had to get out. It just means in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, the seen and the unseen, the material and the unmaterial. And that's, wow. That's. He created it for us, right? Why, why stick with one when you could have them both? So, tonight we're going to talk about the Lord's Prayer, which is why I ended the night with, um, the worship with an upbeat song. Hope you liked it. It was the first time I heard it.
Oh, have you? That was the first time I heard that one. Guess they're trying to find the slides, but, uh, do I need to go back there? Okay. Okay. Well, we're gonna, we're gonna talk about the Lord's Prayer from the, um, the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic and the Aramaic and the Galilean Aramaic that Jesus would have actually spoke in his time. Um, and just kind of dig deeper how rich it is. I didn't realize how much more. It's the same Lord's Prayer, but it just has a much deeper, richer, um, understanding. I wouldn't say meaning, but understanding. It just kind of opens up our, our minds, our hearts to really understand what Jesus was teaching us. And I was like, "Wow, everything we need to know is in the Lord's Prayer." Um, and so when, uh, the disciple in Luke 11, when the disciples asked, you know, Jesus to, um, ask, asked Jesus, "Teach us how to pray," and he said, you know, "To pray like this," and he started out with, um, can we go to the first slide? And I'm going to try my best to pronounce these. I have been listening, I've been listening to a YouTube like trying to, and I, it, it's, it's hard to learn a new language, especially one that you don't hear every day. Um, but the, he starts off with Abba de besiah. And Aba, as you can see, is Father, also identity giver, covenant head. And the Father used here, Aba, Aba, is the Father. They used like if you're saying daddy, not like, I don't know, sometimes, you know, when we say Father, I feel like Father seems like this far away Father, you know, somewhere in the realms. And but really, he was, he was saying, "We approach him like daddy," very intimate, very intimate. And because, because of Jesus, Jesus is the door. So, because of Jesus, we are able to access our Father through Jesus. So, he starts off with Father. And, uh, deesa, um, is like heavens, and it's plural. It's not heaven, like, you know, a one location place. It's heavens, and it's plural. And so in Ephesians 3:14-15, it says, "For this reason I bow my knee to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named." I, I use that scripture because I think of its identity giver. So, when we approach our Father, when we approach Daddy, when we approach Aba, He is the one who gives us our identity. We get it from Him. And, um, so I like to think about when we first approach Him, we're aligning our heart with who He is and then who He says we are. So, remember Kathleen has been teaching us to ask, "What are our I ams?" And so I was thinking about that and reading this. It's like, I'm approaching the Father and I'm also hearing my "I am" as well. So, we start off by just submitting to His presence and we're aligning ourselves with Him to receive our identity from our Father. So, again, um, this is, uh, Aba de bishaya.
The next slide. She think I said that right. Means to set apart, distinguish, or may it be sanctified. So, we're, it's His name be sanctified or be set apart. And shama is your name or His character revealed in nature. So, it's not just a name like Irene or Maria, but it's what His name embodies, the His character, who He is. He's set apart. You know, we're set apart, too, right? We're set apart, too. But He is set apart. He is holy. And so, this here is like saying, "Let Your character be revealed in us. In us." So, you know, when we're going out and about, it's His character should be seen through us, right? Sometimes that's not the case with me. Well, I'm not going to say you because it's also me, but sometimes that's not the case. But when we approach Him, so, you know, I've been thinking about this Lord's Prayer for probably close to a year now. Um, and so as Kathleen's been teaching about quantum entanglement, it, it brought me back to this Lord's Prayer, and I'm thinking, "Oh my gosh, everything, everything about us being entangled with our Father is in this prayer." Um, so when we lean in and we lean into our Father and we get our identity and we are hearing from Him and we're setting Him apart, we're recognizing He's holy, we're aligning ourselves with Him so that His character can be revealed in us. Which means what? We have to humble ourselves. We have to, like, let whatever we, whoever we think we are or whatever we think we are, we have to put that aside because He, He tells us who we are and who we are is who He is. So, we have to surrender. We have to humble ourselves. We don't elevate ourselves to somehow get to His level. We're not trying to, like, you know, get to His level. We're submitting and humbling ourselves so that we can, so that He can come, you know, to us, so that His, His, uh, presence can be revealed in us. Um, so we don't make God holy. His holiness makes us holy. Um, and that includes everything about us. The way we speak, the way we act, the way we interact with people, the way we think, everything about us, um, gets sanctified in His presence.
The next phrase says, uh, we can hear the phonetic saying, "T mal tal." Okay. Um, this is reign or governing authority, and this is a, this is a feminine word. So, you know, the first, the first two were masculine, and this embodies a feminine word. And it's not, I'm not saying God's, you know, I'm not talking about male, female, but I'm talking that God embodies, our Father embodies a masculine, you know, authority and a feminine nurturing, right? I, I like that this kind of pulled that out and I'm thinking, "Wow, He's like, He's like our parent. Everything that we need is in Him. Everything. Everything." So, um, you know, it, I, I love that the rich meaning behind the Aramaic language. I feel like our language doesn't have the same richness, but this is His kingdom. This is His reign, governing authority. And it's not a place, it's governmental authority. So, again, you know, a lot of times, and this is, I'm speaking myself too. We think, like, we used to think I used, grew up thinking heaven was somewhere I went one day when I died, you know, it was just somewhere else. But it's His author. It's His authority. So, when we say, "Come," we're not summoning His, His Him to come to us. We're inviting God's reign and rule in our mind, our will, our emotions, our body. We're, we're basically saying, "I invite You to govern all of me." Think about that. Um, so in covenant, we align with His reign and then our decisions begin to reflect what, what His will is, right? His will becomes our will. Not, we don't want it's not that our will becomes His will, but His will becomes our will. So, as we align in His presence, we understand what His will is, we, we be, we have to be obedient. We become obedient. So, if His governing rule is manifested in us through obedience, righteousness, and our surrendered will, then the kingdom of God is present in our midst. So, when we, when we go, we can know that the kingdom of God is at hand. This is like, this came to me, like, mind-blowing that, you know, when we say, "The kingdom of God is, is at hand." Remember when, uh, John the Baptist would go saying, "The kingdom of God is at hand," he was proclaiming that Jesus was coming. But in the New Testament, after Jesus passed, you know, resurrected, and then we got reborn, we have Jesus in us. So, when we approach a place or when wherever we go, the kingdom of God is at hand, right? Because His presence is in us. So, if, if we're, it's very hard for me to articulate this, but I'm thinking, like, if we're, if we are truly aligned with our Father and we allow Him to have His kingdom come and His will be done in us as it is in heaven, our mind, our will, our emotions, then His Spirit in us is now manifest, right? And so, the kingdom of God is at hand. So, we're going to go to the next slide.
Oh, I have two scriptures there. Luke 17:21. It says, "Nor will they say, 'See here or see there,' for indeed, the kingdom of God is within you." And Romans 14:17, "For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." So, when Jesus ascended, He, His Holy Spirit descended upon us. So, His Spirit is within us. It is at hand. So, um, so if the presence of God alone is enough to make us melt, that's what I think, like, I, that's why I feel like melt. Um, if His presence alone is enough to make us be speechless, this was a conviction that came to me. Why would we think that we need to be clanging gongs? Like, when we go somewhere or we're among people and we feel like we have to tell them how to be good, how to live right. They need Jesus. You know, really, if God's presence is manifest in us, they should see the story and how we act, how we are, how we just talk among people, how, you know, just being in other words, if there, if we are in God's presence and we melt, people should see that when they're in our presence. That's what. So, this was, like I said, I always being convicted as I was doing this, but like, we don't always have to talk. You know, sometimes just be. And we don't always have to talk because if we're carrying His presence with us, there's not much we have to say. And then when we do speak, it should change the atmosphere.
The next slide, um, is, uh, I have to go to my phonetic spelling here. "Y says oh, here we go. Ya yhe." Is to become or come into manifested reality. And this other word says, "yak." Is will or chosen desire or delighted, um, delight-filled purpose. So, really, this is our beginning of surrender because, really, what does that mean? We're saying, "Let Your will, Your will be done, Your purpose be done." So, this is a huge surrender because, you know, I don't know about you, but I got a lot of things that I would like to see happen or a lot of things to see come to fruition. But alignment is not, you know, it's not about me, it's about Him, His kingdom, His will. And so, it's not erasing. We're not saying we're not important at all or, you know, erasing our wills. I mean, He wants to give us the desires of our heart. Um, but it's just reordering. It's kind of like restructuring my mindset. So, thinking like, I'm recalibrating my desires to be Your desires. Okay. Um, and a lot of times, a lot of the desires we have are His desires. They just need to be, like, recalibrated. Like they're just a little off, you know? It's like, and so it's just, He's cleaning it up. Um, so when I was, when I was, uh, reading this one, when I was understanding this, that His will becomes manifested or His reality becomes manifested, His purpose. I remembered when Kathleen was talking about the light waves and when you look at the light, um, or the light has a wave, but when you observe it, it becomes particles. Well, I was thinking about this, that when I, if, if we're in God's presence and we're wanting to observe what His will is, it's like, in us, all the things that are, that's us, it, like, I saw it like break up and they were like little light particles, and He was like breaking up the parts that, you know what I'm saying? He's like breaking up the things that don't need to be there, and then little light particles, He was like filling with His presence. He's like, "This is what I want you for you to have." And just like little glowing little balls all, all around. And I was like, "Oh, that's really cool." We're like, you know, just observing and we become light particles. So, you know, let His, let His will become manifest in, in your life and my life, our lives.
The next one. Yeah, this is a long one. This is "Ka Deesh Maya Kenbara Kbara." This is, um, just as. This is, um, so the first one is "just as in the manner that." And "despa," which is in the heavens. So, this is the same word that was used in the first part, "Our Father in the heavens." It's the plural. And "ken," also, also. And "thus." And then "barah" is like earth or land, embodied realm, lived reality, daily ground. So, this is like, um, this is your will unhindered in heaven. Let it be unhindered here. Like, no restraints, right? Like, He, He owns everything. He is everything. He is everywhere. And so, let it be unhindered in us. So, think about, like, the things that we might be hanging on to, things that we're like, digging our heels in the ground, like, you know, "I need this to happen." You know, it's like, no, no hindrance. No hindrance. Um, so the heaven, what heaven looks like, there can look like that in us. Um, so remember Luke 17:21, "The kingdom of God is in your midst." So, this is where, you know, there's no hindrance.
And the next one is, um, "Hav Lan Leheim Toric Yomaden." I want to say that right. "Grant us the sustaining provision required for this present day." This is what, you know, "Give us this day our daily bread." Grant us the sustaining provision required for this present day. So, what does this mean? We have, we have to, how often do we need to be in His presence? All the time. Every day. Every day. Because He's going to give us what we need for the day, not more than what we need. So, the "hav," the root word, is to grant or give, providing for us. Uh, "yan," meaning to us. "Lem" is like bread, sustenance, it's what maintains life and strength. "Toric," I'm probably said that wrong, what is required or necessary for today's faithfulness is what it means for today's faithfulness. So, it's not what we need, like, "Oh God, I need a pair of shoes, I need whatever it is that we think we need." It's, we need faith to stay faithful to Him so we can be obedient to Him. That's what He's giving us sustenance for. Okay. Um, so a lot of times we think about ourselves when we're praying and, you know, "Give us what we need for the day. I got to deal with these people at work. I got to deal with my family. I got, you know, give me the sustenance to deal with." That's what we pray for, right? But what we really need to be praying for is, "Give me what's required for me to be faithful and obedient to You today." And then, um, and then the last word, "y or den yen," is this day, present day. Now, I don't know about you, I need to do this multiple times a day, not just once a day. Um, we're going to go on to the next.
I have a scripture here. "Therefore, do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat? What shall we drink? Or what shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." So, this scripture really goes right back to the Lord's Prayer, right? Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. That's, that's where our focus needs to be. He's not going to give us if we are in, first of all, if you're going to be in the past, you're going to be eating stale bread, and if you're eating in the future, you have no bread, so you're hungry, you're starving. So, we have to stay present with Him. Where, what is He doing right now today? What is His will? You know, what is, what does He want to do in His kingdom? And how do we be faithful to Him and obedient to Him in this day, in this moment? Um, so I don't know. I had that picture. I was like, in the future, and there was like no bread there. And in the past, it was like stale, moldy bread. I didn't want to eat that. So, I guess I have no choice but to stay right here in the present. Huh? Like the manna.
And then Proverbs 3:8-9 says, "Remove falsehood and lies from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food allotted to me, lest I be full and deny You and say, 'Who is the Lord?' or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God." So, the, I highlighted in white, "feed me with the food allotted to me." It goes back to that word "lem," which means "feed me with the food allotted to me." Literally means "lem to zor." It means food necessary for today. So, it's just what's necessary for today. What does He need to feed us with so that we can stay faithful to Him? I went ahead in my notes. I already did that. All right, next one.
Okay, this one is, uh, "Van Coven." This is, um, "in here it's that is release, let go, cancel, claim or remove legal hold." So, this, remember, "forgive us our debts as we forgive those who forgive." Okay. Um, and "chauvin" is debts, obligations, what is owed, what binds or relationally, legally, or morally. So, this is not about sweeping things under the rug or ignoring it. It's canceling the claim against us. And this was done for us by Jesus. He did this for us. It's washed under the blood. So, unforgiveness is a binding cord. So, this in here, it's a, it's a cord, and it's a binding cord, and it keeps you correlated to, like, the offender. So, if we harbor unforgiveness, then we're connected to that person. We just put in debtor's prison. It's like an ongoing internal system, measurement system, right? What we've got somebody in prison, we're really putting ourselves in prison. Um, so it's kind of like this is another kind of quantum entanglement. So, we want to be entangled with our Father, His presence, but if we're hanging on to any, if we have anybody in debtor's prison for any reason, we have a different, and quantum entanglement. So, how can we, how can we be in two, like, spaces at the same time? Well, probably in God's heavenly realm, we probably could be, but anyway, how can we be if we're like, you know, got one foot in the, in the prison and then one foot trying to be, we can't. So, we have to let go. Um, we have to let go of those things. And I, I'll say more on that later. Um, the next one.
Okay. "Khan. Sha Shabahan." This is a hard one. "Shabbakhan yavven." Okay. Like I said, I've been trying to play this on YouTube, listening over and over. This is, um, this one says, uh, "kama," just as. "Daf," also, even as. "Cananan," we "shaban," we are releasing or we release. It's like an ongoing, like, an ongoing thing. We're constantly releasing. And "el shahav," the obligated ones or debt bearers, those who owe, those who owe. So, Jesus released us from our sins, right? He released us from debtor's prison, and we're not, we're not in that debtor's prison. So, but we sometimes put people in debtor's prison, and sometimes we don't know it. Like, we think, I'm kind of going to go deep here because the Lord was showing me some things. We think, like, uh, unforgiveness or putting somebody in debtor's prison. We think of somebody that, like, offended us, hurt us, betrayed us, you know, did something to us, right? But there's another debtor's prison. These are people who you don't agree with. You think they're living wrong. They, you know, we're criticizing, judging where they should be in their walk or what they should be doing. And if they don't measure up, we, what? Everybody's different, but it could be, "Well, I'm not talking to them. I'm not associating with them. I'm, you know." Jesus didn't do that. Um, but you're putting them in debtor's prison because it's like, "Well, they're just, they're not good enough." So, it's not always an offense. It's not always because somebody offended you. So, I just wanted you to think about that because that, that's, um, that's pretty deep. When He was showing me that, I, I thought, well, that's pretty deep because that can affect us, right? Even on a subconscious level, you know, think about the judgments we pass or how we think of others, and we put them in a debtor's prison. That affects us. You know, could affect, you know, the way you sleep. Maybe you don't think about it, but you know, maybe you don't feel good about that situation, and you don't, maybe you're not always thinking about it, but it does affect your nervous system because, remember, we're body, soul, and spirit. So, can we have undue stress on your body? You know, things like that. So, um, we want to think about things like that. And so, as we approach our Father, you know, every day in prayer, I would ask, "Is there a debtor's prison that I have somebody in or a group of people in? You know, show me." And so that we can release them. Because if we can release them, we're really releasing ourselves so that we can go deeper in His presence. So, another way that cords entangle us that should, that don't always show up or we don't know, like, things that we ruminate about, like, "Why did they do that? Why did, you know, why did this happen? Why is this happening in that country? Why, why are those people like that? Why, why is this political, blah, blah, blah, like that?" You know, we get caught up in these things and they, they ruminate in our minds, sometimes, again, subconsciously, like it shows up in our sleep, maybe a dream about it, you know. Uh, comparison. We compare ourselves to other people, either in a way like, "Oh, I'm not like that. I wish I was like that." Or comparison like, "Well, at least I'm not like that." You know, um, and I, listen, I'm not talking at you. I'm saying, "we," for a reason. Um, you know, but sometimes say, "At least I'm not like that." And, well, maybe you're not yet, you know, but, you know, we don't think about these things, you know, we don't think about these things. And I always go back to that one part where it says, "Lord, give me this day what I need to be faithful to You." You know, how, how do I, how do I think? How do You want me to think? How do You think? How, how should I think? Um, or scanning for proof that you're right. Like, I, I know something I dealt with really, really bad growing up is that I was always right. You know, even if, and if I wasn't, I was going to find a way that I was right. You know, um, you know, just always looking for being right because you don't want to be wrong. How about this one? How many of you like secretly like want somebody to fail or you like secretly want them to just disappear? Like, "I just wish they just, maybe they'll just silently go away." You know, you're putting people in a debtor's prison. We are putting pe, you, we're putting people in a debtor's prison when we're thinking like this, when we're, you know, and we don't realize what we're doing. But again, it's an entanglement. Those, those, these are cords. So, the cords tied to us, okay? Not God. They're tied to us. He can release them if, if we recognize and we confess and repent, and then He'll release them. So, um, you know, we just want to make sure we're not holding judgment. And how about this one? How about like, "Well, but God wouldn't like that, you know?" And so it's like we're holding judgment for God, like He needs us to do that. Like, you know, you know, "Well, God wouldn't like that. I, I need to set them straight because this is offending God." I've heard that, by the way. That one I have not done, but I have heard that this would, this offends God. Um, God doesn't need us to defend Him. He can do that pretty well by Himself. Um, so that's, you know, that's not living in peace, that's bondage. So, think about what that does. Stress in our body, an inability to sleep, insomnia, waking up, you know, we can, "Why can't I sleep?" Sure, there could be some physical things, but I'm just saying sometimes we don't think about these things. So, the Lord's Prayer made me really think about who is God, what is His character, His kingdom, how do we advance His kingdom, how do we carry His presence, what does that even look like, how do I stay faithful, how do I stay obedient? And so, this is something I'm really thinking about. Um, I work with a lot of clients who come and they're, you know, doc, they see all these doctors, they can't figure out what's wrong, but they, one big word, "disregulated nervous system." And as I work with them, there, there are things that I'm uncovering because, you know, I, I do the breath, and then we're doing the breathwork, and then I'm praying, and I'm asking the Holy Spirit, and it's a lot of times spiritual. It's nothing physical. Nothing physical. And then we'll go, and no, I've forgiven them, or I don't have, you know, and but the deeper we dig, we realize, nope, there's some judgment there, or there's some criticism there, right? So, they may have forgiven that particular person, but they, they haven't forgiven, like, a group of people, maybe that operate in the same way. Does that make sense? And so, you know, it's like that one person, but nobody else, do you know, we cast these, like, judgments on groups of people or things that people do. So, um, anyway, this was just something the Lord was showing me. So, forgiveness doesn't, you know, change the past. It doesn't mean that whatever somebody, you're not making wrong something right. You're not making something right that's wrong. What you're doing is, you're removing that cord that ties you, that entangles you to that judgment, group of people, way of thinking, you know, your opinion, or whatever that may be. You're, you're severing that cord, breaking that ungodly soul tie to that thing so that you can be totally free and in the presence of the Lord because that's really what it's about. You just, how much do we want to be just in His presence, right? So, and this, think about what that will do to do for your body and your, your emotions and the way you sleep and all of that. Um, so this is not to, like, dig deep either because some of us, like me, tend to analyze things. So, don't go like digging. Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm just saying when you approach the Lord, a lot of times we just, I know, I, for example, really thought of forgiveness of people that offended me. So, I just wanted to go a little bit deeper about what, what a debtor, you know, what kind, what debtor's prisons could be, right? What different types of debtor prisons there are out there. So, you go before the Lord, just allow Him to show you if He needs to show you. If there's nothing, there's nothing. But don't go digging for something if it's not there. Um, the Holy Spirit is good at letting us know what we need to know. We don't have to go looking for it. I learned that from somebody. I wonder who.
Okay, so this goes right back to the Lord's Prayer. "Let Your will be done here on earth as in heaven." You know, if, if He sent Jesus to cancel our debts, He did that for everybody, not just us. So, we're not holier than anybody else. Okay? So, we have to really be humble like Jesus was. And we, we want His, His light to shine in us, right? We don't, we don't want to walk around with any darkness. We want, you know, we don't need that. We want to be full of light. Next, next slide.
Okay, this, I know these words. I want to learn Arabic after this, I'll tell you that much. I don't know. Um, this says, this one is, "Do not allow us to be brought into proving that overwhelms us." So, we think, "Don't lead us into temptation." Well, God doesn't actually tempt us. This is really saying, "Don't allow us to be brought into a proving that overwhelms us. Don't let us go into a space that overwhelms us." Another one I was looking when I was researching this was also, "Don't let us, don't let us enter into temptation." He's not leading us, but don't let us enter into it, right? Like, keep us from entering into it. Um, so that's what this word, "ah," it says, "do not," and "talon," "cause us to enter." Don't cause us to enter. Actually, the New Living Translation actually says, "Don't let us enter into temptation." Some translations do say that. And the next word is "testing, proving, examination that reveals integrity." So, it's, "do not," He doesn't tempt us, but it, He's like sheep, it's like He shepherds us from not letting us going into that place. So, I wanted to talk about this, that the proving or the, you know, going through a hard space when we're under stress, like, what gets squeezed out of us? So, I remember years ago, um, one of my pastors had a conversation with me because I'd gotten upset with somebody's attitude. She was kind of in charge of things, and I'd gotten upset with her attitude and the way she was treating people. And he had a very long, one-hour conversation with me about how I was feeling and why I was feeling the way I felt. And, um, even though I, I felt I was right, and other people said I was right, um, he wanted to focus on my frustration, my anger, my irritation. That was the conversation. And so, I left the conversation kind of upset, like, "What the heck?" You know, I don't understand. And then the Holy Spirit said, "I want you to sit down with this, and I want you to replay the whole conversation." And I had my computer, and he was like, "I want you to write it all down. Everything, the whole conversation." And as I was doing that, the Lord said to me, "It doesn't matter whether or not you're right and she's wrong. What does matter is why this bothers you so much." And I was like, "Well, why doesn't, you know?" And so, the Holy Spirit started revealing to me some of the things just in my heart, you know, that that allowed me to respond that way. And, um, and so He said to me, and I wanted, I wanted to leave the church. He says, "You're not leaving. You're going to stay and you're going to do this, this, and this." So, I did. And I did that. And over that year, I didn't realize this until looking, it's funny because actually I didn't realize it till I was putting this together. Over that year, I actually really had forgiven. Like, completely forgiven. Wasn't holding any more, whatever. Um, and after that year, then the Lord called me to come to Florida. Right? So, again, this just kind of ties back, like, sometimes we want to leave places because we feel uncomfortable, we don't like something, we don't agree with something, and what do we want to do? Run. Well, I stayed because the Lord told me to stay. And then when He said it was time to leave and He pulled me, I left because He was calling me somewhere, not because I was leaving something. And that's integrity, right? And so, you know, I had to go through all of that for Him showing me why, what was inside of me that was causing me to be so irritated that He had to clean out of me. It wasn't about the other person that, you know, that got dealt with separately, but I had to deal with that. So, um, just wanted to bring that up, that, you know, He shepherds us. Sometimes we do go through things, but He's, He's also shepherding us through it. Okay? So, He did keep me from temptation because the temptation was to leave, say things I shouldn't have said, right? And He delivered me from. Well, that's the next point.
So, let me go over here. The next, the next, the next slide is, um, "pan bisha." "Pull us free from what corrupts, distorts, and harms." So, we, you know, we think the evil one. So, we just think Satan, like, it's just, "Deliver me from Satan." But He's delivering us from a corrupted thinking, distortion, error, harm, the enemy, you know, think of it's so many, just like the debtor's prisons, you know, it's not just forgiving somebody that offended us, but it's also this here is, He's so, He delivered me from, if I had stayed in the, "Well, I'm right and she's wrong." What would that have done? It would have just perpetuated the problem, and then I probably would have had it with somebody else, and, you know, I just would have been the same person. So, you know, He set me free from that distorted perception or view or reaction that I developed my whole life. Right? So, He delivers us from that. So, think of our, our vision, like I have reader glasses. Like, what happens when you're, um, when your eyes get blurry, you can't see, but when you look at a word, they get distorted, right? Okay. So, like, you're looking at, you're reading something, and the number one maybe looks like an L, right? And you're like, you're thinking, "Oh, that's an L." And then you tell somebody, "That's an L." And they're like, "No, that's a one." And they, and they say, "No, it's an L." Well, I see a one, and it's a one, right? Because that's what you see. Well, God delivers us. We sometimes we think we're, we're just so right. We understand theology, or we, you know, whatever the case may be. And we're, we just, "I'm right." And we may have a distorted view, or we might be in error. So, just because we see something doesn't mean we see it accurately, just like blurry vision. So, so, you know, He, He'll always let us know.
So, we're going to do the Lord's Prayer together. But I also looked up the word "pray" because when the disciples said, "Teach us to pray." So, I was like, "Oh, I wonder what that means." So, "pray" comes from the root word "sly" and it means "incline toward, orient, bow the inner self towards." So, you're kind of like leaning, like leaning in. There was another one that I looked up, "pray" was the Eastern Aramaic and it meant to trap or catch. I was like, "Oh, like you're trapping, like what God, you know, you're trapping God's essence or what He has for us." It's like to catch what He has. Because when we're praying, so, but if you think about this, even this incline toward, orient, so when we pray, are we praying to get something that we want? No. We're inclining toward Him to catch what He has, to catch, to, you know, to trap what He has, what He wants, what He's showing us. Not, sometimes we go in prayer because we're looking for what we want. But no, we're actually inclining towards Him. And then, uh, Jesus says, "Amen," which means, we know, means "let it be," or "firm, established, trustworthy." So, I, I don't know what time it is. Am I running over? Okay. I have no idea. I just write the notes. Am I supposed to time them? Okay. So, when the disciples asked, "Teach us to pray," He didn't give them magic words. He invited them to into alignment. He invited them to orient themselves to, you know, incline themselves toward the Father to trap, to in, to catch what the Father has. Um, and I, I thought, "Wow, that's really powerful." So, you think about when we go to prayer, that's what we're doing. So, we're always going to, to catch what He has for us, what He, what He wants, what He's showing us. Where, where are we going? And we're not persuading Him. Kathleen teaches us every time on Thursdays, we're not persuading God what to do. We need to know what He's saying, and we just are agreeing with what He said because, yeah, because the kingdom of God is should be in us, right? It's in us. So, when we, when we speak, things should happen. When Jesus spoke, things happened. So, we're not, we're not persuading. So, we're always trying to align in, in with Him. Um, so let's, let's, uh, remember Jesus opened the door for us. He made it possible for us to go straight to the Father. The veil was broken. And so, we're going to, we're going to do the Lord's Prayer together, and we're going to surrender everything as we pray. Um, but first, I want, I want everybody to just kind of rebalance their nervous system. So, oh, we're going to do some breathing. We're going to do some breathing. But, um, we're going to do this, and I, I want you, we're going to do the Lord's Prayer together. I, I kind of had rewrote it in the way that encompasses the Aramaic translation in English. It's kind, so it's a little bit longer and deeper. Um, and then just be open for whatever the Holy Spirit is revealing to you. So, there might be, you know, one of, somebody might be on the first part where you're in the Father, the source, the origin, and that's, that's where you find yourself. You know, He kind of traps you there. You get trapped in there, and you're, you know, He's showing you who He is. For others, it might be what it means to have His government reign over us. For others, it might be, um, His kingdom come and His will be done. Okay. Um, but we're going to read through this, and then after we're done here, Deborah and Belle have something that they want to share for Valentine's Day. And I think it will be a great ending for just entering into His presence, you know, in this Lord's Prayer, and just inclining our hearts to Him. Let us get entangled in His presence and let Him reveal to us His will, His character, His kingdom, the heavens, and how He dwells, how He is dwelling in us. So, I'm just going to have you guys just, we're going to breathe. We're going to relax. Okay. Just going to breathe in and out through the nose. Yep. And just remember your tongue is just gently resting on the roof of the mouth. The way God created, He designed us this way. So, your tongue's resting at the roof of the mouth. You're gently breathing in and out through the nose. He designed us that way. He breathed life through the, uh, nostrils. So, even just in our breath, our posture, our physical body posture, you're posturing already yourself for prayer. You're posturing yourself, even the way He designed and created our bodies. You're agreeing with that alignment, and you're just allowing your nervous system to recalibrate. As you recalibrate your mind, your will, and emotions to incline yourself towards His heart, towards His character, to His presence, who He is. And then we're going to slowly read this prayer together out loud. Okay? So, it's up there on the board, and we're going to slowly read it together.
Father, source and origin, who is in the heavens, the realm where Your authority is unhindered. Let Your name, Your revealed character and reputation be made distinctly holy and unmistakable. Let Your reigning government arrive here and take visible form. Let Your chosen desire and Your intended desire become reality. Just as Your will is unhindered in heaven, so let it be unhindered here on earth in lived reality. Grant us the sustaining provision that is required for this present day. Release us, cancel the claims, and remove the obligations and debts that bind us. In the same way, we are releasing those we have held as owing us, the obligated ones. Do not cause us to enter a proving that overwhelms us, guard us in testing, but instead snatch us free and rescue us from what is harmful and distorting. Amen. Let this be established. Let it stand firm and true. Amen.
So, I'm just going to have you guys just close your eyes and just allow yourself, just for a moment. So, you're just breathing. I don't have any music. We're just relying on your inclination to lean in towards the Lord. And I'm going to read this out loud as you just allow yourself to hear what the Holy Spirit is showing you. What revelation He has for you tonight.

So, Deborah and Belle are gonna come up and share. Valentine's Day has become for me knowing His heart for us. And so, we bought a little gift for everybody in here. Um, Belle came up with scriptures about love. In every bag has a scripture about love in there. Not necessarily prophetic for you. I want to make that clear. However, the word that is on the gift, we've prayed over that it would be prophetic, that it would have meaning to you specifically. So, I think that's it. So, if you will come up as you leave, pick a bag, whatever color you like. Um, and then look at the word inside. That's it.
No. What? I wanted to just for a minute. There's two scriptures that have talked to me for a long time in that I, when I picture Him as my Valentine, I picture Him wrapping His arms around me. God's glory is all around me. His wraparound presence, this picture is all I need. For the Lord is my savior, my hero, and my life-giving strength. And that's Psalm 62:7. And then there's one more. Have the other one. "God, Your wraparound presence is our defense. In Your kindness, look upon the faces of Your anointed ones." And that's Psalm 84:9. So, when you go to sleep tonight, close your eyes and just picture Him wrapping Himself around you. Guaranteed you'll sleep better.
