Avinu Shebashamayim,
yitkadesh shimkha.
Tavo malkhutekha,
ye’aseh retzonkha,
ka’asher ba-shamayim ken ba’aretz.
Et lechem chukeinu ten-lanu hayom.
U’selach lanu al chovoteinu,
ka’asher solechim gam anachnu la’achareinu.
Ve’al tevi’einu lidei nisayon,
ki im hatzileinu min hara.
Ki lekha hamamlakha, ve’hagevurah, ve’hatiferet,
le’olmei olamim.
Amen.

🔥 Why This Matters
- In Hebrew, every word is multi-dimensional. For example:
- Lechem = bread, but also means teaching, revelation, sustenance.
- Chov = debt, but also means sin, obligation, weight.
- Malkhut = kingdom, but also means rule, reign, dominion, atmosphere.
So when Yeshua taught this prayer, He wasn’t just giving a formula—He was giving a cosmic decree that aligns heaven and earth.
⚔️ Prophetic Fire for You
“Pray not as the nations pray, but as I have taught you. For in the tongue of covenant, your prayers are not mere words but decrees. When you say ‘Avinu,’ you open the heavens. When you say ‘Malkhutekha,’ you summon My reign. When you say ‘Lechem,’ you receive revelation. Pray in the tongue of fire, and the gates of death will not prevail against you.”
