WHEN YOU FAST / MATTHEW 6:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 6:16

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

WHEN YOU FAST / MATTHEW 6:16

In the Bible, fasting refers to the discipline of abstaining from food for a limited time in order to give greater attention to spiritual matters. Although it is often linked with prayer, it can be a spiritual exercise all its own. In fact, fasting can be called “prayer without words,” in which case our time without food should be an intense time of listening to God, trying to gain a sense of His direction and meditating on His Word (pondering its principles over and over to consider how they apply to specific situations in our lives).

  1. There are three main forms of fasting presented in the Bible. 
  1. The normal fast: abstaining from all food, solid or liquid, but not from water (Matthew 4:2).
  2. The absolute fast: abstaining from both food and water (Esther 4:16; Acts 9:9). Normally this kind of fast should not be for more than three days because the body then begins to dehydrate. (Because of certain physical reasons, some people cannot endure such an extreme fast; anyone who intends to go on an extended fast would be wise to seek direction from someone who is knowledgeable in this area, such as a physician.) Moses and Elijah experienced the absolute fast for 40 days, but only under supernatural conditions (Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 9:9, 18; 1 Kings 19:8). 
  3. The partial fast: a restricted diet rather than complete abstinence from food (Daniel 10:3).
  1. Christ Himself practiced fasting (Luke 4:2) and taught that it should be a part of Christian devotion and an act of preparation for His return (Matthew 9:15). The New Testament church practiced fasting (Acts 13:2-3; 14:23; 27:33)
  2. Fasting with prayer has several purposes:
  1. To honor God (Matthew 6:16-18; Zechariah 7:5; Luke 2:37; Acts 13:2)
  2. To humble ourselves and put spiritual concerns above our own desires (Ezra 8:21; Psalms 69:10; Isaiah 58:3) so that we may experience more of God’s power (1 Peter 5:5) and presence (Isaiah 57:15; 58:6-9)
  3. To mourn over personal sin and failure (1 Samuel 7:6; Nehemiah 9:1-2)
  4. To mourn over the sins of the church, nation and world (1 Samuel 7:6; Nehemiah 9:1-2)
  5. To seek grace -God’s undeserved favor and blessing – for a new task and to reaffirm our devotion to God (Matthew 4:2)
  6. To deepen our relationship with God and strengthen our resistance against spiritual forces of evil (Judges 20:26; Ezra 8:21, 23, 31; Jeremiah 29:12-14; Joel 2:12; Luke 18:3; Acts 9:10-19);
  7. To show repentance (remorse for sin, readiness to turn from our own way and surrender to God) -both for ourselves and for God’s people as a whole – so that God has a reason to change His plan of judgment (2 Samuel 12:16, 22; 1 Kings 21:27-29; Jeremiah 18:7-8; Joel 2:12-14; Jonah 3:5, 10)
  8. To rescue people from slavery to evil (Isaiah 58:6; Matthew 17:14-21; Luke 4:18)
  9. To gain spiritual insight and wisdom concerning God’s will (Isaiah 58:5-6, 11; Daniel 9:3, 21-22; Acts 13:2-3) 
  10. To open the way for the Holy Spirit to operate powerfully among God’s people as He prepares them for Christ’s return (Matthew 9:15).

IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE / MATTHEW 6:15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 6:15

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE / MATTHEW 6:15

Jesus teaches that there should be no compromise in our readiness or willingness to forgive the offenses of others. Holding on to unforgiveness is a sin because of the bitterness and destruction it can bring in one’s own spirit and because it fails to reflect God’s character in our lives. If we refuse to forgive others, Christ will not forgive us – nor will He answer our prayers- because we choose to hold on to sin. This is an important principle because God uses it as a measure for forgiving us (Matthew 18:35; Luke 11:4).

IF YOU FORGIVE / MATTHEW 6:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 6:14

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

IF YOU FORGIVE / MATTHEW 6:14

The Greek term aphiêmi, which means “forgive” (also Greek aphête; aphêsei), is found in various forms in the New Testament (over 140 times). It sometimes means “to let go,”  “to leave behind,” “to dismiss,” and even “to cancel a debt.” It is used for the forgiveness of sins by God (implying also the canceling of guilt). We are to forgive others in the same way God forgives us.

DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE / MATTHEW 6:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 6:13

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE / MATTHEW 6:13

Each of God’s people is a target of Satan’s opposition and attack. On our own, we cannot overcome or even resist His evil purposes. For this reason, we must rely completely on God, praying constantly for wisdom and strength to defeat the devil’s schemes (Luke 11:26; 18:1; 22:31; John 17:15; 2 Corinthians 2:11). Of course, standing in victory through Christ requires listening and responding to God’s Word and guidance. Only then will we exercise the wisdom and self-discipline necessary to avoid spiritually compromising situations that lead to failure (2 Timothy 2:22).

FORGIVE AS WE ALSO HAVE FORGIVEN / MATTHEW 6:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 6:12

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

FORGIVE AS WE ALSO HAVE FORGIVEN / MATTHEW 6:12

Prayer is a time for confession of sins so we can be forgiven. It is also a time to rely on God for the strength to forgive those who have harmed us (Matthew 6:14-15; Hebrews 9:14; 1John 1:9; 6:15).

DAILY BREAD / MATTHEW 6:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 6:11

Give us this day our daily bread.

DAILY BREAD / MATTHEW 6:11

Prayer should contain requests for God to provide for our daily needs (Philippians 4:19; Luke 11:3). We should not focus on having more than we really need because it can cause discontentment. We should be ready to express thanks for whatever God chooses to give us.

YOUR KINGDOM COME – YOUR WILL BE DONE / MATTHEW 6:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 6:10

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

YOUR KINGDOM COME – YOUR WILL BE DONE / MATTHEW 6:10

YOUR KINGDOM COME

Though it is important to take our concerns and needs to God in prayer (though He already knows our needs), the greatest priority of prayer must be the purposes of God’s kingdom (His power, authority, purposes and way of life both on earth and into eternity). 

  1. We must pray for Christ’s return and the establishment of God’s eternal kingdom in the new heaven and the new earth (Revelation 21:1; 2 Peter 3:10-12; Revelation 20:11; 22:20).
  2. We must pray for God’s power to be shown among men and His purposes to be accomplished on earth at this present time. This includes following Jesus’ instructions and exercising God’s power among His people in order to destroy the works of Satan, heal the sick, save the spiritually lost and promote truth. We can operate in such power only as we develop a deeper relationship with God through prayer and as we depend on the Holy Spirit for power and guidance.

YOUR WILL BE DONE

To pray “your will be done” means that we truly desire that God’s purposes, plans and desires are fulfilled in our lives and in the lives of our families. We can discern God’s will primarily through His revealed Word (the Bible) and by trusting the Holy Spirit’s leading in our hearts (Romans 8:4-14). God’s will is accomplished when we pray for “His kingdom and His righteousness” to be active in our lives (Matthew 6:33). We must also keep in mind that if we are praying for God’s will to be done, we will be ready to take action toward accomplishing His purposes as He reveals them to us.

THIS THEN IS HOW YOU SHOULD PRAY / MATTHEW 6:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 6:9

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

THIS THEN IS HOW YOU SHOULD PRAY / MATTHEW 6:9

With this model prayer, Christ suggests some priorities that should be in the prayer life of a Christian. The prayer contains six petitions, or requests: three have to do with God’s holiness (purity, perfection, completeness and separation from evil) and will (plans and desires that reflect His character and purposes); Three have to do with our personal needs. The short length of this prayer does not mean that we should pray only briefly about our concerns. Though sincere prayer does not have to be lengthy, there were times when Christ prayed all night long (Luke 6:12).

OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN

Prayer involves worshiping (expressing honor and worthiness) our heavenly Father and communicating openly with Him. Even for those who cannot relate to a good relationship with an earthly father, God is everything any believer could ever hope for; and He will never let them down. 

  1. As a loving Father, God cares for us, guides us and welcomes us to have a deep and open friendship with Him. Through faith in Christ, we have access to the Father at any time to worship Him and to express our needs (Matthew 6:25-34).
  2. As a Father, God does not tolerate evil in His children or fail to discipline them correctly (as some earthly fathers do). To do anything less would not be good for us. God opposes sin and what it can do to His children. 
  3. As a heavenly Father, He can punish as well as bless, withhold as well as give, act with justice as well as with mercy. How He responds to His children depends on their faith in and obedience to Him. Yet we can be confident that all of God’s guidance and discipline are for our good.

HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME

The greatest concern in our prayers and in our lives should be to bring honor to God. His name must be “hallowed,” or considered sacred and holy, which means we must live in a way that is worthy of our relationship with Him. This requires us to live a life of holiness – moral purity, spiritual wholeness, separation from evil and devotion to God’s purposes. In this way, we will bring glory, honor and praise to God (Psalms 34:3). In our prayers and daily lives, we must be passionately concerned with the reputation of God, His church, His message and His kingdom purposes. To do anything that brings disgrace or disrespect on the Lord’s name and character is a serious sin that openly shames God.

PRAY IN SECRET / MATTHEW 6:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 6:6

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

PRAY IN SECRET / MATTHEW 6:6

Every child of God should have someplace to be alone with God. Without such a time and place, we will never develop a consistent and personal prayer life. Secret prayer is not a matter of hiding our faith or keeping Christ’s message to ourselves. It is a matter of growing in our personal relationship with Christ and learning to discern (to have sharp insight or wise judgment into or about something) the voice of His Spirit as He guides and teaches us. Jesus had His secret places (Matthew 14:23; Mark 1:35; Luke 4:42; 5:16; 6:12). Secret prayer is especially important:

  1. In the morning, so we can commit our day to God and start out with Him on our minds;
  2. In the evening, so we can give thanks for God’s help throughout the day and consider what He wants to teach us about the day’s experiences. 

Whenever the Holy Spirit prompts or inspires us to pray – sometimes for our own situations and often for other people. When we spend personal time with God, He promises to reward us openly – with answered prayer, with a deep sense of His presence and with true honor for eternity (Matthew 6:9 on God as Father).

‘ACTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS’ BEFORE MEN / MATTHEW 6:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 6:1

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

‘ACTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS’ BEFORE MEN / MATTHEW 6:1

This passage challenges us to consider our motives for doing what is right.

  1. If we do good things simply to gain the approval or admiration of others, then we lose our reward and honor from God. People who seek honor for themselves under the pretense of giving glory to God will be exposed as hypocrites (phony, lacking a true heart).
  2. Jesus speaks specifically about our actions in three areas: 
  1. Giving (Matthew 6:2-4),
  2. Prayer (Matthew 6:5-8)
  3. Fasting (going without food for a limited time to give greater attention to spiritual matters, Matthew 6:16-18).

 His harsh criticism of untrue or insincere behavior challenges many contemporary Christians efforts and motives, including competing for recognition, boasting of one’s own success, performing and entertaining in the name of worship and the driving desire to be first (1 Corinthians 3:13-15; 4:5).
