[Music] [Applause] in line with our series for those of you joining us for the first time sakto and dating mo we're on our 10th week of our series mashadu but don't worry every week here is a stand-alone preaching you can retract you can go back we have weak and rewind it's in our podcast available for you love week one and then week nine and today when our tenth week and we'll be talking about the sermon and the mount it's a three chapter spawn and a teaching on the sermon in the mouth it's a matthew chapter five six and seven i've been saying out of that sixteen weeks this year it's nothing jesus talks about our relationship with god last chunk nothing for like five weeks relationship with one another at young possibility pastor job last week he did a fantastic job talking about our spiritual discipline if you want to build a relationship with someone element of consistency and we've been talking about our relationship with god that christianity is more than just a religion christianity is first and foremost a relationship with god and the foundation of any healthy relationship where there's a jose requires a healthy communication everybody's a communication god speaks to us through his word primarily majority language bible be loyal to your wife hello so yuma gusto young sabihin sayo nasa bible na okay that's one way of communicating primarily way of communicating to us now how do we communicate to him and relationship it should be healthy to wait through prayer are you listening he communicates to us through his word we communicate to him through prayer and again any relationship negotiator a good mommy and daddy and thank you giving me good friends in the neighborhood like martha and bandit and a big backyard with a big fish to keep me safe and a new big crate with lots of blankets and toys and a mommy and daddy who really love me amen before we eat we pray thank you for this food i'm about to receive and i pray for more food for those other dogs that don't get a lot of food pray honey amen [Laughter] talks about really uh having that spiritual discipline apostinability discipline it requires a certain level of consistency it should be constant illegal constantly a sense of consistency and same thing if you want to build that relationship with god you should have a constant a consistent uh communication to him so as i've said god talks to us through his word we talk to him through prayer so we're gonna open our bible now to matthew chapter five uh six rather verses five to fourteen so someone a but i'm going to open this up on the screen as well it says in matthew chapter 6 verses 5 all the way to uh last verse let's read this and when you pray do not be like the hypocrites for they do if they love to pray standing in the scene that goes on the street corner to be seen by others truly i tell you they have received the rewarding fool verse six but when you pray go to your room and close the door and pray to your father who is unseen then your father who sees what is done in sick it will reward you and when you pray do not keep on bubbling like pagans for they think they will be heard because of their many words do not be like them for your father knows what you need before you ask we're going to talk about two sets of prayers here the first set is opponent is a chunk of verses that though from hypocrites and pagans on the other side there's susan this is zen born again so we have two sets of prayers here the next set of prayer is this jesus said this is then how you should pray our father in heaven hallowed be your name your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us a day our daily bread and forgive us our debts and we as we also forgive our debtors and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil let's bow down our heads father we thank you this morning for a powerful words logan that you spoke two thousand years ago teaching your disciples how to pray and we know lord god because of too much familiarity with these verses meaning or we haven't really seen the meaning behind this or learned that's why lord today about prayers but hopefully lord god may apply now into salaam in day-to-day life in jesus name amen so two sets of prayers here there's two kinds of prayer the pagan way okay and the christian way so we're gonna study today two kinds of prayer now look up on the screen what is what do you think it's the basis for your prayers to be heard this is a good question the lord there's this pagan way or this christian way you see listen up this is the premise that i have for you this morning the basis on which we approach someone for an exchange or an interaction is totally dependent on the basis of relationship we have with that person but in approach level and discussion is dependent on the level of your relationship for example market market any um stranger can approach me right and mostly an interchangeable misa market market than any stranger that will come to me is sir because the level of relationship is purely informational other than that so here's my question for you to be able to really parameter god is hearing your prayer i'm going to ask you something on what basis do you think see god they need to regain prayer more let's talk about the first basis and when you pray do not be like the hypocrites you know the word hypocrites it's a greek puja who procreates originally means an actor under an assumed character as a stage okay so human actors and actresses and as a stage union says being hypocrites that's where you get the word hypocrites or hypocrites okay and and and these people they love to stand and pray in the synagogue and in the street corners because they love to be seen by others they have all this religious externals theologically sound better they want to be seen by a lot of people and this is the pagan way and then one more thing for them and when you pray do they keep on bubbling okay you know the word bubbling the word bubbling simply means it's cold it's mechanical it's empty do not keep on bubbling like pagans for they think they will be heard because of their many the word many mean anxious because of their anxious words there's these hypocrites and pagans they love bubbling words anybody here no not born again nothing weird pray they love flowery words and eloquent words we're weird not getting weird in fact in other translation and bubbling uh niv that'll keep on bubbling like pagasa in new king james version do not use vain repetitions i have two grown up daughters [Music] every monday morning meaningless repetitions do not keep bubbling like pagans for they think any first basis wherein we feel we can our prayers will be heard number one the basis of performance relationships this set of people think because of their effort their prayers will be heard purely dependent on how they carry out their duties purely dependent on how they perform purely dependent on the externals they feel their prayers will be heard because they look religious externally because they use flowers they logically the lord will hear you and problema john if you think because of your own doing lord baking prayer god because i work hard for you the whole year it's as if you're doing something for god and now god is forced you know the problem with that if you're in this type of performance relationship you feel entitled to the lord so we feel entitlement now on the other side indica perform you feel condemned because prayer and fasting last january anybody here not born again imagine better the way you think about your god you can manipulate him by doing good works you're so into performance thinking the more i do something for you i have the right to ask you to do what i want to do i want you to do rather it's like a bender type of machine when we pray just pressing the right key buttons request and you're like an atm type of prayer when we pray atm pinotti and password and then you'll have your cash and problems because you've like investigates atm maybe we will draw a call so sometimes we treat god that way and problems again if you're in the performance type of relationship that the more i do something for you god i have the right for you to answer my prayers voila of course are you teaching me truly i say to you they have received the reward they receive the applause of men [Music] now you've received your reward in full you had the applause of men because you're on the basis of performance relationship it's purely transactional there's no relationship at all the basis on which your prayers feeling will be heard because i perform now it's it's your job now to listen to my prayer it's so impersonal that's what that's that's maybe that's where you the girl that i talk about last week nine months that's a chance full term you can question god isn't it it's so transactional but on the other hand let me give you the other side praise them like this this is the partner gusto on the other side here's another group of people not the pagans not the hypocrites but then pray then like this you start the starting point of this type of prayer is our father everybody say our father you know the word our father it's so intimate it's so personal in fact those greeks the non-jew the kikinek it's so foreign to them when you say our father to a god that's a no-no it doesn't connect first of all it's a greek mythology the gods they created the human beings to work the earth they were slaves if you look at pandora's box work is a curse because they're thinking kameh gods small letter g lazoos hermes mercury kamehameha gods and there's this human being we cannot have a relationship other than slaves so the idea of father is so intimate it's it's so foreign to them and to the jews listening yeah they have this idea now one day god is going gonna be their father but jesus said in john they have no idea of who the father is that's why jesus had to come to show to them this is like my father a story of the prodigal son the listeners the jews they're confused in heaven my father is a compassionate merciful and gracious father they have no idea of who the father is so the starting point of any relationship a healthy relationship through prayer is an understanding that god is your father and you are his child we pray to the father not not the mother not to the saints not of the angels as we have said the mother mother mary the saints the angels they will never understand your tagalog they're not omniscient she's not omnipresent and she's not omnipotent to answer and and do power upon your prayer she's not those three attributes only reserve for a god omnipotent omniscient omnipresent the father son and holy spirit then god it can't only trinity silence god that's why it's important for us to understand when we pray we pray our father and this basis is the basis of a personal this is not based on performance this is based on a relationship it's a very relational term it's a personal relationship basis now you can interact if i s if i see my daughter's a market market easily i can give her 10 000. because of the level of a relationship but a total stranger asking for 10 pesos but because of my daughter i have a personal relationship her assurance that her plea will be heard our interaction will be high because of our relationships why because in john 12 it says here yet to all it's john want i believe yet to all who did receive him to those who believe in his name he gave the right to become children of god we have been adopted according to hebrews we were not jew by birth christians no we have been adopted because of the faith we have in christ so this is a type relationship that once you understand that you have been adopted you have a relationship you don't have to show off somebody when you pray go to your room and shut the door and pray to your father who is in secret instead of of of showing off shut the door and some of you will tell me okay and door see jesus will always pray in the mountain right early in the morning so what this verse is saying is you should have a special time and place it's your special moment with god it's a sacred moment with god what this verse is saying he talks about exclusivity now when you talk to god he's so special the prayer starts the night before hindi allah thank you so when you pray you have this sense of exclusivity nothing aside in jesus name you aim him with the following day now 7 a.m amen [Applause] what this verse is saying have a special moment and special place with god spend 10 to 15 minutes it depends on you mcbreaker and then you talk to god imagine for a moment you were given a chance to meet the president of the president of the philippines did about the night before prepare me as president duterte 8 a.m the following day people the night before indictment papa parting at 2 a.m right because you're going to meet the president of the philippines 8 a.m no no no you're in your tip-top shape you're alive and awake and attentive to every word now imagine in prayer you're not just talking to the president of the philippines you're talking to the king of kings and the lord of lords and often times in prayer time ocean is seeing it while you're driving [Music] hallelujah time foreign set a special time and place and deterred and unhindered time exclusivity it's your personal time of prayer i'm not saying you're going to pay them a praise or say i'm talking about your personal time of prayer with god and some of you in as christian you know you get so caught up in the business of life in fact there's this one person disciple of jesus very close to him and this is the time when jesus was about to be arrested and yet this guy who's been with jesus um jesus told philip have i been reduced so long philip and you still don't know me look up here it's highly possible to be so caught up in the business of ministry and still miss out on jesus are you listening it's highly possible that you get so caught up in the business of life doing all those churchy things having all the front the cheese church christian and still miss out on god i mean we're talking of philip he's there all the way he saw everything and yes i believe jesus you still don't know me coming to church is not an assurance that you're a christian but it doesn't mean your church attendance will make a cut to heaven i don't think so that's why this is very important how's your prayer life do you have a personal time of prayer with god or is it just a left over time oh shay what you say when you do not pray is this lord i do not need you for now but later in the afternoon i'm gonna call on you but for the moment i don't need you so mommy on time that's what you're saying when you do not pray that's what you're communicating to god i couldn't go on to this day without you that's what you're saying and then jesus rebuke philip don't you know me philip and when you pray don't keep on bubbling like pagans those empty words and vain repetitions do not be like them why for your father knows what you need before you ask of him you know why i'm a father of two grown-up daughters and i know what they need forever 21 hmm iphone i paid the call okay so i mean i know i know their needs okay i'll tell you why because i love communing with them [Music] and god knows what you need even before you ask of here he's not saying but god wants to hear from you now imagine for a moment next week that's why here let me show you the difference a performance relationship you perform to be accepted i will pray harder i will meditate harder i will do touch and off i will do the ties i will give that i will do this i will volunteer i will do prayer fasting blah blah blah now listen to my prayer now god on the other side you will accept it first before you perform and later because you performed you're a son you've been accepted at your worst when we were still sinners he accepted you as his sons and daughters the bible says in vinasana he has given the right it's not it's not uh something that you can demand it's just freely given here what you can get a performance relationship that's all you think what you can get what you can get what you can get and i'm not talking about prayer on you lately i know all your prayers because in prayery question i have table call every tuesday okay request and there's nothing wrong with that but come to think of it your prayer request my prayer request consists of when you pray lord thank you lord for this day bless us lord come be hannah and lord by the way in tuition for a personal request and this is on the personal relationship that you can give it's not about what you can get but you can give here by doing here by being being the sons and daughter of god lord i have so much you have given me so much so let me ask you this question what is the basis for your prayers to be heard where are you right now look up your church are you on the performance side or you in this personal relationship side the reason why i'm telling this because once this is settled and then the rest of the verse says madalina lang it's log you know any key lag when they used to transfer logs through the river there's this one and then everything will flow so once this is settled that you're a child of god and then it will revolutionize the way you pray so when you pray our father in heaven the starting point is a relationship not a ritual i have a relationship with you i have a direct access to you the children of my neighbors they can't just come to my house but my daughters can do that now next let's just proceed i know you what's a response a response now is hallow would be your name now you begin to adore him not what i can get but what i can give because you will accept that now you will perform the performance you adore him a second set of prayers i told you our father in heaven hallowed be your name personally impersonal needs somewhere down at the bottom compared to our pre-tooth compared to our prayers good morning lord again the first response is halloween be your name hallowed means holy hallowed me separated hallowed mean distinct it means holy it's the otherness of god when the bible calls god holy it means primarily god is transcendentally separate he is far and above us he is foreign to us and we revere his name hallowed be your name we glorify him because your chief end according to short-term catechism the westminster catechism says man's chief end is to glorify god and not only god that to enjoy him forever whatever we do the end should always be god might glorify kabadito whatever you're believing god for lord god glorify commanding i'm asking for a call learn to glorify i'm asking for healing i'm going to glorify kabadito i'm going to glorify him i just visited someone in the hospital last tuesday uh this one a man she gave birth but after giving birth to current complication like bleeding uterus and 50 50 she's about to die and then and then the uh the partner started praying and praying and praying and now she's getting out of the hospital and god is glorified and enjoy him forever and then your kingdom come look up on the screen after adoration your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven there's submission your kingdom come your will be done seriously who among you here you pray like this lord lord please bless the lord have you ever prayed like that nasty god fyi island your will be done means lord i have this set of expectation i have this set of ending for this prayer but nonetheless e-commerce was not why because you know better you see the macro i only see the micro i don't even know what will happen tomorrow to us as worse as manga stage for cancer pray to as simple as this illustration of the gamete goes very simple she just want to have uh the son to go up so wedding dania i mean simple enough and let me see god i mean you can talk to god everything request more okay let me show you this uh illustration uh uh a testimony of this couple this is this couple is our leaders here my leader is so in 2016 this was last year so they've been preparing and all excited and they've been praying for provision okay and then the hotels because they want to do it evangelistic in the day invite them the christian and paso dennis will preach provision and all and then god did something a month before the wedding on the wedding so they decided lord siguro hindi will so they decided to to just stop the wedding hotel and as a time basically they can cancel and we're really sorry blah blah blah blah blah blah okay wedding the next day the sun came out as i did my quiet time and just stayed at the beach in the sun i couldn't help but talk to god and ask lord no doubt i know it's your will to rain yesterday but can i just ask why my daughter if the sun came out yesterday it didn't rain people will look at the view okay and it didn't ruin people we look at the view how beautiful the place is how beautiful the sun is people will not look upon me but you see it rain from morning till before you walk down the aisle everyone every single person prayed like okay until the ceremony and everyone was just all eyes and all ears to my word everyone fixed their eyes on me and pastor dennis will attest to this bro it's one of the most solemn most highly alamou the lord just just came to that wedding and then look at their picture and this is what she had to say and with that i was just conforted indeed his will be done his name will be glorified things happen not in our own terms but on his his ways are higher than ours come on let's give them praise it might not be a sun coming out it may be a cancer it may be a financial distress it may be a relational unity repertoire god is concerned but the problem is are you aligned to his will or you're pushing your own will how do you know his will read this word consult a spiritual mentor or a leader and problema we don't know his will you will agree and then the rest after adoration after submission the rest it will become secondary the provision give us a day our daily bread uh forgive our debts the remission of sin and protection deliver us from evil it becomes secondary the primary will be now our father i have a communion with my father you see if your thinking is that prayer is all about asking god for something then we're wrong because most of us including me we thought growing up prayer is all about asking god for something isn't it and i don't want you to grow up and grow old yulan alamusa prayer it's all about asking god for something prayer it's not just about getting something it's all about giving everything because he gave you everything he adopted you to be his sons and daughters prayer is all about glorifying god you may not get what you're praying for it doesn't matter i have god in me as long as i have you everything else is secondary and when you're about to die so god should be glorified through our prayer a famous pastor john piper theologian authors having a god is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him now glorify sha when we are most satisfied in cars no no no no in financial uh progress no no no in business progress no no no when you're most satisfied in him alone and now he's most glorified in us church whatever you're believing god for you may not get it you may get it it doesn't matter because god sees the macro he is the ultimate god who knows what's best for you it may not always be a joy right but it's definitely a joy road you may not get what you want it's it doesn't matter about the destination it's the joy right it's the joy road that god you have been with me throughout this journey on stage for cancer you have been with me throughout the years you are with me you are with me the journey i will i will forever treasure it because every pit stop you are with me so it's not about getting what you want it's about really giving everything to god let's all stand on our feet today what's the basis what do you think is the basis of your prayers to be heard what's the basis it's interesting when we're talking about the will of god compared to our will i remember when jesus was about to heal lazarus we're talking about raising the dead we're not yet done okay okay we're not yet done okay we're talking about raising the dead lazarus jesus lazarus and he just pray a simple prayer like a 30 second of prayer i mean he's gonna he's gonna bring lazarus back to life and yet the prayers go something like this that our father you know but for their sake let's do this i'm praying and then we're going to bring back lazarus back to life voila lazarus alive about 30 seconds prayer but when he was praying for god's will to be done in his life it takes all night he's been wrestling he's been wrestling i have a will but your will be done in fact he was so into it his crying blood you tears became blood it's i think it's a term called hemohedrosis where in the third gland breaks because of too much anxiety and then it says here and going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed my father if it's possible let this cup pass from me nevertheless not my will but yours be done wow it's not my will but yours be done it's not my will but your speed that looks like a negotiate not my will but yours be done and for the second time again for the second time he went away and prayed my father if this cannot pass unless i drink it your will be done on the third time because there's something in him the thought the prospect of becoming seen the prospect of being forsaken by the father as a human being and he's saying not my will but yours be done for the third time but my point is indito madale asking for his will to happen in our lives it's going to be a struggle but it's okay as long as the end not my will yours be done when you pray to god this afternoon this morning my hope and prayer lord what's your will and gusto some of you doesn't know doesn't have to know what god says you don't have to ask for god's will but go in you just have to cry before god not my will but yours be that father we thank you this morning we thank you because we don't have to perform we thank you because we don't have to work we don't have to work hard for you to hear our prayers by virtue of our relationship with you that our acceptance is not based on performance that our acceptance is based on your choice to make us one of your sons and daughters lord tonight today we're lifting up to you our lives that when we pray it will be aligned to your will when we pray it's for your glory when we pray lord we hallowed your name we adore you we submit to your will we submit to your kingdom and then everything else won't matter anymore because once we have you everything else becomes secondary because ultimately you're all our need how long lord you're all that we ever so help us today we repent of our performance type of prayers we repent lord we honor you this morning we glorify you in jesus name amen amen amen amen [Applause] next week we'll talk about your possession your wealth mahalo come back next week and see you if you need prayers our pastors will be here god bless you
