  5. Sydney House of Prayer: 3-G Vision - Explained 1. Great Commandment • To minister to the Lord continuously through music, singing and prayer as NT priests and to establish a lifestyle of ministering to the Lord as a part of fulfilling the First Commandment (e.g. Isa 56:6-7, Amos 9:11, Rev 4-5). • To restore the First Commandment to the first place in the church of Sydney by becoming a model of a community that does the First Commandment first (Matt 22:37-38).

  6. Sydney House of Prayer: 3-G Vision - Explained 2. Great Commission • To raise up priestly ‘forerunners’ by equipping them so that they may grow and mature to know the Lord intimately and deeply, and to understand the times and seasons so that they may prepare themselves for the coming of Jesus Christ our Lord (e.g. Matt 24-25). • To prepare a generation of children to be priestly ‘forerunners’ (e.g. Deuteronomy 6). • To know the connection between the marketplace and the house of prayer (e.g. Haggai) and to pray for the marketplace. • To establish a connection between the ‘prayer movement’ and the ‘mission movement’ by partnering in prayer with churches and mission organisations to fulfil the Great Commission (e.g. Acts 13:1-3).

  13. ‘Sermon on the Mount’ Value System • Value 5: ‘Narrow Road Lifestyle’ “Entering into narrow gates and narrow roads that have eternal significance and consequence, not temporal pleasures and benefits” • Value 6: “” • Value 7: “”

  14. The beatitudes

  15. The Beatitude: Overarching Principles • Principle 1: ‘Eschatological Perspective & Lifestyle’ • Hope in the future promises (v.4-9 - ‘shall’) • Despondency (Lamenting) in the present conditions • Radical lifestyle now because of the eschatological perspective “The promise of the future always involves a radical alteration of the present” • Principle 2: ‘Understanding what Blessing is’ • Worldly meaning: ‘Health & wealth and joy & happiness NOW’ [Synonyms: lucky, fortunate because of favourable circumstances] • Biblical meaning: [1] religious/transcendent joy and happiness [2] of things closely related to God (Jesus)

  16. The Beatitude: Overarching Principles • Principle 3: ‘Mark of those who are in the Kingdom of God NOW’ • Poor in the spirit (v.3) • Persecution for righteousness (v.10) Matthew 5:3, 10 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs isthe kingdom of heaven. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs isthe kingdom of heaven.
