Moms are made with a built in desire to protect their children. When your womb protects the defenseless little person that grows from a microscopic cell into a tiny human being made in the image of God, it is hard not to try and keep a protective womb around your children for their entire life. But moms--if you try to protect and control your adult children and treat them like toddlers even though now they have become six feet tall, you will generate a lot of anger and stress. You could even block them from developing the maturity they need to do the will of God.

Kingdom. It is a realm or region where someone or something is dominant. Why do we need to pray and ask God to bring His kingdom to earth? How does the "earth" realm differ from the "heavenly" realm when it comes to responding to god's authority? We are presently in the midst of a study of the Lord's paradigm on prayer--showing us exactly the kinds of things we need to talk over with God. The next few minutes will be an opportunity to think carefully about some words that you have probably repeated over and over again.

What do you want to get out of life--health, Love, truth, dependability? What are you doing today to achieve these goals? It could be that you have walked away from the only person who can deliver all these precious gifts to you, and if you walk away from this individual, you will walk into a room of deception from which you might never escape.

"Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven...." You know the words by heart. With the pledge of allegiance these words are probably repeated more than any others in the American culture. But like a lot of words we repeat by rote, have we thought carefully about what they mean? These words express the most powerful lesson anyone ever taught on the subject of prayer.

It's something we use every day and we all have one. Obviously--the term we are talking about is --name. What's in a name?
