Reframing The Lord's Prayer for Others

 

Our Father in Heaven

We acknowledge the Origin point of the Entire Universe and Cosmos

AND That if we do say there is such an Origin point, that Origin point want us and wants to know us 

deeply and personally

Hallowed (Holy) is your name

That Origin points name is reflected in life and existence itself..... and the recognition of that is special, key and important... first recognising the origin point.. then recognising that the Origin point personally desires to know us personally and then that, that origin point reflects the greatness, wonder and vastness of all existence by virtue of the name of that origin point.

FURTHER, That to be holy is to be in alignment and in order with that... so if we say that both the Origin point and the name of the Origin point are Holy what we really means is we wish to cosmically, ecologically, biologically, universally, spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally and holistically align ourselves to the reality of the Origin point and the order that the Origin point sets.

Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done

If the origin point is indeed the origin point and is even potentially helping keep the universe and cosmos expanding and existing and existing in perpetuity that that continued expansion has to be something that passes through and travels across time, across light, across light years, across space... across aeons down to the definitive reality of NOW!!!!

On Earth as it is in Heaven

And the alignment as above  has to touch society, has to touch neighbourhoods, has to touch villages, has to touch cities, has to touch regions, has to touch nations AND it has to start aligning ALL THOSE ALL TO EACH OTHER... AND Then all that is further to keep aligning to the cosmos, to sosmic reality and the universal reality... all itself aligning to cosmic and divine and spiritual, mental, emotional ORDER in a way that not just positively impacts down at the cellular level but also all the way out..... continuing alignment ACROSS THE UNIVERSE AND ALL that exists.....

Give us this day our Daily Bread

Provision is a right and yes... right for all seeking it . It is something that all who ask... so deserve.....

Whats interesting is that if one is ecologically, cosmically.... societally aligned in their homes, families and communities and then even if alignment is happening across this Planet... PROVISION IS A NATURAL CONTINUALLY FLOWING BY PRODUCT.... Particularly insomuch if all this aligns to the Universal origin source.

Forgive us our Sins

Sin is stopping alignment, allowing disorder or chaos at any level (cellular, individual, family, community, society, country, planet, universe and so on) Sin is creating blocage or dis-alignment or misalignment. It happens. It is INDEED REAL..... But so is realignment... so is rehabilitation.... so is forgiveness... so is seeking to solve... so is both restoring and seeking to restore....


The Universal origin point is the best one to help us all line up again to realign ourselves to the Universal origin point but equally we can also follow such a model and ourselves be models of and examples of... when needed... religning..... rehabilitating, rebuilding... reconnection. Wherever disconnection happens we can reconnect..... whereever misalignment occurs.. realignment can be done. Wher dis-order and chaos reign... reordering can also take place and when this realigns us back to Origin point ...that better is always possible.

As we forgive those who sin against us

We can take the example on. We can actively realign and reconnect and sow back together and solve and help and help to rehabilitate ourselves.

Lead us not in to temptation

To be tempted is to fall in to give in to, the tendency to be self focussed only .. to be egotistical... to be self centered and introverted. To be focussed only to ourselves, to rip ourselves and our focus of of others and on to ourselves.. Ultimately its to take our selves our own way rarher than the way of alignment and order and in to generating our own disorder.. thats what temptation is... so seeking to instead go back to alignment again and be others focussed rather than ego and self focussed is what we mean when we ask to not be lead in to temptation.

But deliver us from Evil

Evil is disorder. Evil is not being aligned. Evil is being ego driven and ego focussed. Evil is also allowing all this... disorder, misalignment and ego focus to help perpetuate itself and it's influence....

Safer and more aligned to seek alignment and order instead... order with who... order with the one who ordered the whole Universe.. order with who alighned and ordered the WHOLE COSMOS!!!!!

Far safer to go in that direction.. than the the direction of introversion and the perpetuation of disorder...

Introversion disorders self. Introversion disorders family. Introversion disorders and misaligns community and planet and even through it all our of alignment with Planet and Universe opening up pathways to personal, familial and societal ruin and destruction. Far safer and better to instead go towards alignment and order with the Originator of the Universe and the Originator of the order of the Universe.


Yours is the Kingdom, The Power and The Glory

This is the acknowledgment that when the Cosmological Originator of the Universe sets things in motion towards alignment and ORDER.. The safest place is to be in the flow of that order and alignment. To recognise and then align self, to align body, mind, spirit, to align family and community and nation and planet to the reality and ordered alignment. The Cosmological Originator can place you at the receipt point of that same power and that aligning brings the provision, the order and the thorough thoroughfare of aligned, cosmolical order for you.

Forever and Ever

Speaking all of this in to reality, that is alignment and order all the way from one cells all the way up to the Cosmos and powerfully saying that that ought to be in ongoing perputuity is the very thing that if activated keeps oneself in the flow of alignment, order and continued provision in somuch as.... aligning self to the Cosmic Orginator and seeking to be in perpetual alignment... one is in a good safe, sustainable FLOW.


Amen

Verbal and honoured agreement to all the above again... that places one on the road of alignment, provision and order from the level of cosmos all the way down to the level of cell.

An Email to Cr. Gibson - The Marae as a Sacred and Safe Space for Christians in Aotearoa

 

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Tēnā Koe e Cr. Gibson,

I write to you not only as a citizen, but as a practising and academically trained Theologian who has spent years reflecting on how our Christian faith takes root in the soil of Aotearoa. I was saddened to hear that you felt unable, as a Christian, to attend the marae in your role as Councillor. I’d like to offer a theological reflection on why — far from being a space to fear — the marae can be understood as a sacred place where God’s presence and hospitality are profoundly alive.

From the beginning of the Christian story in these islands, there has been deep relationship between te ao Māori and the Gospel. When Ruatara welcomed Samuel Marsden at Rangihoua, the encounter was grounded in manaakitanga — a mutual offering of space and spirit. Saints of our land such as Tarore of Waharoa and the Rev. Rota Waitoa carried the Gospel into Māori life not by replacing tikanga but by walking respectfully alongside it.

In Scripture, God continually meets people where they are and honours the hospitality of local culture. Abraham is welcomed by strangers (Genesis 18), Moses removes his sandals on another people’s sacred ground (Exodus 3), and Jesus receives the gifts and customs of the people He walks among, blessing rather than dismissing them. The marae, likewise, is a place of encounter — a threshold space of welcome, remembrance, prayer, and reconciliation. It resonates deeply with biblical themes of whānaugatanga (relationship), manaakitanga (hospitality), and kotahitanga (unity).

To step onto the marae, then, is not to step away from Christ, but to meet Him already present in the love and honour extended there. As Paul declares in Acts 17:27–28, “He is not far from any one of us. For in Him we live and move and have our being.”

In our uniquely bicultural covenant as a nation, Christians have an opportunity — even a responsibility — to be bridges of trust and understanding. The marae offers a place to live out that Gospel of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18–19) in a way that is both authentically Māori and authentically Christian.

Ngā manaakitanga o te Atua ki a koe,
