Matt 6:6, 1-5
May 23, 2009
1. The world’s earth curse system is opposite the
Matt 6:6
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet (secret room), and when thou hast shut thy door (opportunity, doorway into the Kingdom) pray to thy Father which is in secret (“kryptos” hidden, concealed); and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward (discharge what is due, wages, debt) thee openly (manifest, evident, known, to be plainly recognized as known).
- Everything God does is based on what happens in secret.
3. Honor Principle- You Honor God and He will honor you. (1 Sam 2:30)
Honor- to be heavy, weighty
Matt 6:1-5
Take heed that ye do not your alms (charity, giving to the poor, a good deed) before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest [thine] alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward (partial reward). But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly (full reward). And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Honor man- By loving them; showing respect and caring for them. This type of honor must be the same for every single person (saved/unsaved). (James 2:1-9, if you show favoritism you sin).
Honor gifts- Listening and receiving the gifts that God has given (Eph 4:11-14)
