The Lord’s Prayer

“THY will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Memory Verse: Ps. 40:8.

The angels live in heaven. Matt. 18:10.

Number of angels. Heb. 12:22; Rev. 5:11.

Illustrate the perfectness, the promptness, and the completeness with which the angels do the will of the Father in heaven, by referring to Eze. 1:4-28, emphasizing particularly verses 9, 12, 14, 20, 21; and Ps. 103:19, 20.

Work of the angels. Heb. 1:14.

Illustrations of their faithfulness. Acts 12:7-11; 1 Kings 19:5-8; Acts 27:23, 24.

If we desire the will of God to be done on earth as it is in heaven, we must do that which God would have us do, as faithfully as the angels do their work.

The will of the Lord on earth is —

1. That all should know the truth. 1 Tim. 2:4.

2. That all should repent. 2 Peter 3:9.

3. That all should rejoice, pray, and give thanks. 1 Thess. 5:16-18.

4. That all should be perfect in every good work. Heb. 13:21.

“Doing the will of God from the heart.” Eph. 6:6.

A promise to those who do his will. 1 John 2:17.

How God makes it possible for us to do his will. Eze. 11:19, 20.
