Luke 6 ~ Praying God's Word

Carefully read Luke 6.  As you do, notice the timing of events and everything that Jesus does.  Remember Luke wrote in consecutive order (Luke 1:3-4).

Meditate on verse 46.

Why do you call Me, “LORD, LORD,”

and do not do what I say?

Do you call Jesus “LORD”? Do you obey Him? A lord is a master, a person possessing supreme power and authority. No wonder Jesus questioned His disciples about why they were calling Him “LORD.” They called Jesus their LORD, but they did not obey Him as a LORD must be obeyed. After asking the question, Jesus immediately defined what it meant to call Him “LORD.” If Jesus is your LORD, you will:

            *Come to Him

            *Hear His Words

            *Do His Words

Pray Luke 6:46-48 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, may _______ and I call You “LORD”

and do what You say.

Jesus, help us come to You,

 hear Your Words, and act on them. 

LORD, build our homes.

May we dig deep and lay our foundation on You, the Rock. 

When a flood occurs and the torrent bursts against our homes,

 may they be unshakeable

because we have built in Your name, Jesus~”
