11.11.04 the lord's prayer 6th petition-and lead us not into temptation

The Lord’s Prayer
6 th Petition: And lead us not into temptation.

Memorization Verses:
And lead us not into temptation.
What does this mean?
God tempts no one. We pray in this petition that God would guard and keep us so that the devil,
the world, and our sinful nature may not deceive us or mislead us into false belief, despair, and
other great shame and vice. Although we are attacked by these things, we pray that we may
finally overcome them and win the victory.

LSB 665 No foe shall disarm you
Nor force you to yield,
1 Be strong in the Lord No arrow can harm you
In armour of light, With faith as your shield.
With helmet and sword,
With shield for the fight; 4 Though Satan presume
On prayer be dependent, To test you and try,
Be belted and shod, In helmet and plume
In breastplate resplendent: Your head shall be high;
The armour of God. Beset by temptation
Be true to your Lord,
2 Integrity gird Your helmet salvation
You round to impart And Scripture your sword.
The truth of His Word
As truth in your heart; 5 So wield well your blade,
His righteousness wearing Rejoice in its powers,
As breastplate of mail, Fight on undismayed
His victory sharing, For Jesus is ours!
Be strong to prevail. Then in Him victorious
Your armour lay down,
3 With eagerness shod To praise, ever glorious,
Stand firm in your place, His cross and His crown.
Or go forth for God
With news of His grace;

 Donald Grey Barnhouse
 How might our focus regarding
“sin” and “temptation” be
misdirected?

 As God’s first children on earth, Adam and Eve were living in their garden
paradise. They didn’t feel any sorrow or pain, which might seem nice, except that
without it, they also couldn’t feel joy. They didn’t remember their pre-earth life. If
they hadn’t eaten the forbidden fruit, they would have lived like that forever and
never had children. Mankind never would have been born or the world populated.
 As we know, Adam and Eve succumbed to Satan’s temptations to eat the fruit and
disobeyed God who had commanded them not to eat from the tree of knowledge of
good and evil. As a consequence, they were separated from God’s presence
physically and spiritually—an event we refer to as the Fall. They became mortal—
just as we are—subject to sin, disease, all types of suffering, and ultimately death.
But it wasn’t all bad because they could now feel great joy.“Adam fell that men
might be; and men are, that they might have joy.” (2 Nephi 2:25) But as they were
obedient to the Gospel of Jesus Christ Adam and Eve were able to receive God’s
inspiration, revelation, and even visits from heavenly messengers.
 Once out of the garden, they were able to progress and learn to become more like
our Heavenly Father. In addition, they could have children, which meant the rest of
God’s spirit children (all of us) could come to Earth, experience physical
bodies, and be proven by our daily choices. Just like Adam and Eve, there are
consequences to all our choices, good or bad. Lasting happiness and progression
come from choosing to do what God wants us to do. The key word is “choosing.”
Generally God does not step in and prevent us from making the poor choices Satan
tempts us to make. He will, however, offer his love, divine guidance, and warnings
when we open our heart to Him.

what temptation means. This
is an obvious lie. Only those
who try to resist temptation
know how strong it is.... A
man who gives in to

simply does not know what it
