Taking Baby Steps to Get Free

I want to help you to understand the words of Jesus Christ, so that you can get salvation and freedom from all false ideologies.

Let's start with something very CLEAR and EASY to understand from the scriptures.

Just about the first commandment from Jesus was commanding us who to pray to and what to say and focus on in prayer.
Jesus said: (and I put the Koine Greek transliteration there for you to see from a Bible Gateway transliteration of the original Greek.  Not from the NWT).

9 Pray (proseuchomai) then (oun) like (houtōs) this: ‘Our (hēmeis) Father (patēr ·ho) in (en ·ho) heaven (ouranos), may your (sy) name (onoma) be sacntified (hagiazō, ·ho) 10 may your (sy) kingdom (basileia) come (erchomai, ·ho) may your (sy) will (thelēma) be done (ginomai, ·ho) on (epi) earth (gē) as (hōs) it is in (en) heaven (ouranos. ·kai) 11 Give (didōmi) us (hēmeis) today (sēmeron ·ho) our (hēmeis) daily (epiousios) bread (artos, ·ho) 12 and (kai) forgive (aphiēmi) us (hēmeis ·ho) our (hēmeis) sins (opheilēma), as (hōs) we (hēmeis) also (kai) forgive (aphiēmi) those (ho) who sin (opheiletēs) against us (hēmeis). 13 And (kai) do not (mē) bring (eispherō) us (hēmeis) into (eis) temptation (peirasmos), but (alla) deliver (rhyomai) us (hēmeis) from (apo) the ho evil ponēros one.’
14 “For (gar) if (ean) you forgive (aphiēmi ·ho) others (anthrōpos ·ho) their (autos) offenses (paraptōma), your (hymeis) heavenly (ouranios) Father (patēr) will also (kai) forgive (aphiēmi) you (hymeis; ·ho ·ho) 15 but (de) if (ean) you do not (mē) forgive (aphiēmi ·ho) others (anthrōpos) their offenses, neither (oude) will (·ho) your (hymeis) Father (patēr) forgive (aphiēmi ·ho) your (hymeis) offenses (paraptōma).

9 Pray then like this: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be sanctified; 10 may your kingdom come may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread 12 forgive us our sins a we also forgive those who sin against us 13 And do not bring us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.'
14 “For if you forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you 15 but if you do not forgive others their offenses, neither will your Father forgive your offenses."

And in Luke:

Luke 11:2-4

2 So he said to them: “Whenever you pray, say: ‘Father, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our bread according to our daily needs. 4 And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is in debt to us; and do not bring us into temptation.’

OK.  From this, who do you pray to and what is this "Name" that needs to be sanctified?

Psalm 83:18King James Version (KJV)

18 "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth."

Hint:  Exodus 3:15
15  Then God said once more to Moses: “This is what you are to say to the Israelites, ‘Jehovah the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation'."

Who's will is going to be done on earth and in heaven?

Answer is obvious from Jesus's own words.  "Let your will be done".  Not Jesus, who is a servant of Jehovah.

John 8:28
28  Jesus then said: “After you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing of my own initiative; but just as the Father taught me, I speak these things".

Who is Jesus Father and Our Father, your father, my father;  the Father of everyone including Jesus. Otherwise, Jesus would have said to pray to Jesus for Jesus's will to be done.

There is only ONE TRUE GOD and his name appears in the Holy Bible over 6828 times in just the Aleppo Codex.  This Codex is the main one used to translate the scriptures from. If you examine all the scraps of scriptures we have from the original language it is over 7024 times found in the Bible.

Answer the question and we will go on from here.  Baby steps to the Truth. 

Here is God's name Jehovah as it appears in the King James Bible. The most published Bible of all time.  You can see Jehovah's holy Name in Hebrew with all the consonants and vowels clear as can be (top center) as it was in the Aleppo Codex, the most translated version of the Old Testament.  Please click on the photo and view it full size.

John 10:27
27  My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.


John 10:14
14  I am the fine shepherd. I know my sheep and my sheep know me,


John 10:15
15  just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I surrender my life in behalf of the sheep.


John 10:16
16  “And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those too I must bring in, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.

True Christians Do What Christ Tells Them to Do and What Not To Do

We know now that the time is very close, because all of the prophesies are being fulfilled now at the end time prophesies.
The fact that Churches are being devastated is part of the prophesy. Jehovah said that at the end of times it would be evil against evil in the destruction of the remainder of Babylon, Christendom, and all false religions.   How do we know a false religion, by the fruit.  Are the people kind and loving, don't practice sins, work to spread the news of Jehovah's Kingdom about to come.

The "Lord's Prayer"



Just about the first commandment from Jesus was commanding us who to pray to and what to do in prayer.
Jesus said: (and I put the Koine Greek transliteration there for you to see).

9 Pray (proseuchomai) then (oun) like (houtōs) this: ‘Our (hēmeis) Father (patēr ·ho) in (en ·ho) heaven (ouranos), may your (sy) name (onoma) be sacntified (hagiazō, ·ho) 10 may your (sy) kingdom (basileia) come (erchomai, ·ho) may your (sy) will (thelēma) be done (ginomai, ·ho) on (epi) earth (gē) as (hōs) it is in (en) heaven (ouranos. ·kai) 11 Give (didōmi) us (hēmeis) today (sēmeron ·ho) our (hēmeis) daily (epiousios) bread (artos, ·ho) 12 and (kai) forgive (aphiēmi) us (hēmeis ·ho) our (hēmeis) sins (opheilēma), as (hōs) we (hēmeis) also (kai) forgive (aphiēmi) those (ho) who sin (opheiletēs) against us (hēmeis). 13 And (kai) do not (mē) bring (eispherō) us (hēmeis) into (eis) temptation (peirasmos), but (alla) deliver (rhyomai) us (hēmeis) from (apo) the ho evil ponēros one.’
14 “For (gar) if (ean) you forgive (aphiēmi ·ho) others (anthrōpos ·ho) their (autos) offenses (paraptōma), your (hymeis) heavenly (ouranios) Father (patēr) will also (kai) forgive (aphiēmi) you (hymeis; ·ho ·ho) 15 but (de) if (ean) you do not (mē) forgive (aphiēmi ·ho) others (anthrōpos) their offenses, neither (oude) will (·ho) your (hymeis) Father (patēr) forgive (aphiēmi ·ho) your (hymeis) offenses (paraptōma).

9 Pray then like this: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be sanctified; 10 may your kingdom come may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread 12 forgive us our sins a we also forgive those who sin against us 13 And do not bring us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.'
14 “For if you forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you 15 but if you do not forgive others their offenses, neither will your Father forgive your offenses.

Many people have learned to repeat this archetypal prayer, given to use from Christ Jesus, but they don't seem to understand what it actually says, because of religious dogma more than any other confusion on the planet.



OK! So verse 9 is a command: "Pray then like this". This is how you are to pray. It is not a maybe or sort of. It is a commandment from Jesus Christ.

Who are we to pray to? Answer:
"Our Father": My Father, Your Father and Jesus's Father are the same.

"in Heaven": Jesus was standing on the earth addressing Jehovah Our Father in Heaven. Jesus is not Jehovah.

"may your name be sanctified": This is a call to action to use God's name, Jehovah, and to sanctify it by telling others this is God's name and it is His Holy Name, Jehovah. It is the highest Creator of all Life's Holy Name.

If you are not sanctifying Jehovah's Holy Name, you are not a Christian.

"may your kingdom come may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". : Please notice the "your kingdom" as Jesus is not God so it is not Jesus's Kingdom, but it is "Our Father in Heaven, Jehovah's kingdom.

We acknowledge that Jehovah's will is to change the earth and the heavens and we accept his will, and comply completely. His will is to destroy all evil from the earth.

Every thought, action, deed, and idea that promotes disease, suffering and death, will be removed and all those who cannot stop sinning and causing the spread of suffering will be removed. The will of Jehovah is to restore the Earth to its original paradise condition and human to their original condition of purity, full health and not causing disease, suffering and death as humans do now.

"Give us this day our daily bread.": We are to ask for only what we need and nothing more. We are not to worship things and desire them. But to be grateful for being taken care of. This is an acknowledgement of how worthless it is to chase after "things" as if there is any joy in things.

" forgive us our sins a we also forgive those who sin against us": We have to forgive everyone, and Jehovah will forgive us. There is no forgiveness for us if we cannot forgive others.

"And do not bring us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.'"
We are to stop sinning and to resist the devil as he temps us to sin. You cannot enter Jehovah's Kingdom as a practicing sinner who give homage to Satan. Jehovah gave his Son as a sacrifice to remove our sins. If you hang on to your sins, thinking they are good, you have not received God's grace. If you think it is OK to sin and Jesus will keep on forgiving you, you are wrong. He died so that you may REMOVE your sins with His help, using the 'helper" the Holy Spirit that transforms you.

I think this is pretty clear.

Jehovah's Holy Name appears 6828 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Aleppo Codex, most Bibles are translated from this.

Jesus name in Hebrew is "Yeshua" which means "Jehovah Saves".

Most of the Jews had the name of Jehovah in their name. Joshua is Yhowshua which means Jehovah saved.
"Jehovah" is the English version of "Yehovah" and in Old English the "J" was "Y" sound. In other languages the J is a Y sound to this day.

(Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua
Or Yhowshua {yeh-ho-shoo'-ah}; from Yhovah and yasha'; Jehovah-saved; Jehoshua (i.e. Joshua), the Jewish leader -- Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare Howshea', Yeshuwa'.

And

21 And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”’

13 For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”

4 But I called on the name of Jehovah: “O Jehovah, rescue me!”


Psalm 116:13
13 I will take up the cup of salvation, And I will call on the name of Jehovah.


Psalm 116:17
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving; I will call on the name of Jehovah.


Genesis 13:4
4 to the place where he had previously built an altar. There A′bram called on the name of Jehovah.


Genesis 21:33
33 After that he planted a tamarisk tree at Be′er-she′ba, and there he called on the name of Jehovah, the everlasting God.


Lamentations 3:55
55 I called out your name, O Jehovah, from the depths of the pit.


Psalm 20:7
7 Some rely on chariots and others on horses, But we call on the name of Jehovah our God.


Genesis 4:26
26 There was also born to Seth a son, and he named him E′nosh. At that time people began calling on the name of Jehovah.


Genesis 26:25
25 So he built an altar there and called on the name of Jehovah. And Isaac pitched his tent there, and his servants dug a well there.


Zephaniah 3:9
9 For then I will change the language of the peoples to a pure language, So that all of them may call on the name of Jehovah, To serve him shoulder to shoulder.’


Genesis 12:8
8 Later he moved from there to the mountainous region east of Beth′el and pitched his tent with Beth′el on the west and A′i on the east. There he built an altar to Jehovah and began to call on the name of Jehovah.


Joel 2:32
32 And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, just as Jehovah has said, The survivors whom Jehovah calls.”


1 Kings 18:24
24 Then you must call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.” To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”

When you call on the name of God, Jehovah, you are not calling any false gods nor are you calling on Satan who is a "god" to those who worship him.
After calling to Jehovah for salvation with a concentrated prayer of repentance and need, then Jehovah will lead you to His Son who will save you in the last days.

John 6:44
44 No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him, and I will resurrect him on the last day.

The "Father" is Jehovah. Jehovah's name was removed from scriptures by the Romans who would burn you on a pole to death in the town center if you spoke God's Name.

John 6:39
39 This is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose none out of all those whom he has given me, but that I should resurrect them on the last day.

Clearly, Jesus is the Son of God and not God. He is the master worker, pure servant of God's will on earth and in heaven.
