Our Father

In this insightful message, "Our Father – The Father Is Not Your Private Possession," Apostle Patrick J. Brown teaches from Matthew 6:9-13, revealing that prayer is not only about communication with God but also about spiritual formation. Jesus intentionally taught His disciples to pray "Our Father," emphasizing that life in Christ is not lived in isolation but within the community of God's family.

Through the language of the Lord's Prayer, Apostle Patrick shows how God engrafts us into His Fatherhood, delivering us from spiritual orphanhood and correcting the individualized mindset that often dominates modern Christianity. The prayer reminds us that we share one Father, one family, and one Kingdom. God's provision, mercy, protection, and guidance are experienced not merely as individuals, but as a people united in Christ.

This message explores the significance of reverencing God's name, surrendering to His will, living under His rule, and embracing our shared dependency upon Him. Discover why God cannot be customized to fit our preferences, how His holiness lovingly corrects us, and how true healing, growth, and maturity are found within Kingdom community.

Prayer Point: Father, deliver us from the mindset of spiritual independence. Teach us to live as sons and daughters within Your family, receiving Your provision, correction, and transformation together through Christ. Amen.
