if you've been around the block for a while as a Christian
you've been praying
or if maybe you're new to the Christian faith
new to following Jesus
maybe you're just learning how to pray
whether you've been praying for a while
and you're a Jedi Knight of praying
or you are just getting started
and you feel like you're kind of waddling into prayer
Jesus speaks to us
and he teaches us how to pray
we started a couple weeks ago a series
we're calling the 21st century disciple
a 21st century disciple is someone
who is seeking to intentionally live out
every area of their life for Jesus today
a couple weeks ago we started the series
by listening to those two words of Jesus
follow me
those two words change everything
everything for those who hear those words
who receive them by faith
and turn from living for ourselves
into living for Jesus
last week we talked about
the importance of the Bible
in the life of a Christian following Jesus
and this morning
we're going to turn to one particular area
in which becoming a follower of Jesus
makes a pronounced difference
your prayer life
this morning we're going to see Jesus teaching us
what to pray
how to pray
and why to pray
someone's defined prayer as simply talking with God
and generally speaking
that's true
what is that all that it is
let's look at Luke chapter 11
1 through 13
if you would turn there now
and let's hear God's word
these are Jesus words
instructing us how to pray
now Jesus was praying in a certain place
and when he finished
one of his disciples said to him
Lord teach us to pray
as John taught his disciples
and Jesus said to his disciples
when you pray
say
Father
hallowed be your name
your kingdom come
give us each day
our daily bread
and forgive us our sins
for we are
ourselves
forgive everyone
who is indebted to us
and lead us
not into temptation
and Jesus said to his disciples
which of you
who has a friend
will go to him at midnight
and say to him
friend
lend me three loaves
for a friend of mine
has arrived on a journey
and I have nothing to set before him
and he will answer from within
do not bother me
the door is now shut
and my
my children are with me in bed
I cannot get up
and give you anything
I tell you
though he will not get up
and give him anything
because he's his friend
yet because of his impudence
he will rise
and give him whatever he needs
and I tell you
ask and it will be given to you
seek and you will find
knock and it will be open to you
for
everyone who asks
receives
and the one who seeks
finds
and to the one who knocks
it will be open
what father among you
if his son asks for a fish
will instead of a fish
give him a serpent
or if he asks for an egg
will give him a scorpion
if you then
who are evil
know how to give good gifts
to your children
how much more
will the heavenly father
give the holy spirit
to those who ask him
prayer is more than just
speaking with god
prayer is calling
on the living god
to do things
that only he can do
here in luke
jesus teaches
us
his modern day
disciples
how to pray
and what jesus
shows us
is that
prayer is
essentially
a means by which
we live
for god's glory
and so this morning
here's what i want to help you to see
pray big
pray bold
pray believing
jesus is going to help you see
to pray big
pray bold
and when you pray
you pray believing
that your father in heaven
is a how much more father
so let's turn to
this idea of praying
big
it's the lord's prayer
now jesus taught this material
in a variety of different contexts
and so it looks like he used the same material
but taught the same stuff in matthew 6
which is a different context
than here in
luke chapter 11
but they're very similar
and look where jesus starts
in this
call to
pray big
and when you pray
say
father
this would have been revolutionary
when jesus disciples
would hear jesus pray
and pray to his father
they would have never heard anybody
praying like that before
up until this point
when
israeli would call on god
as father
it would
be
like
the king of all
father over the nation
but what jesus is doing here
is he's personally
calling
god
his father
it would have been new
it's a term of tender affection
and authority
and what jesus is calling us to do
is that we call on our god
as father
and it's worth noting
that the one who's calling us
to pray to god as our father
he shed his blood
so that we can be welcomed
into the family of god
and with confidence
call on god
as our father
so when you see that word
father
brother and sister
in christ
that's a blood right
you have
the blood of jesus
accomplished that for us
the only reason why we can
call on god
as our father
is because jesus
shed his blood
for that
we can enter into god's presence
and pray to him as father
because of jesus
so we see this address
jesus
begins
this teaching
for his disciples
on prayer
with this address
call your god
father
note this
look at verse 2
he begins
this teaching on prayer
with father
and then look down
at verse 13
he ends this teaching
on prayer
with father
he couches
the teaching
on prayer
with this theological
category
of the fatherhood
of god
when we pray
we pray
to our father
and then he says
hallowed be your name
there's
there's five petitions
in this lord's prayer
we've seen the address
first petition
hallowed be your name
when you pray
you pray
father
hallowed be your name
we don't use that word
hallowed that much
that's not something
we typically use
in everyday language
and so what does it mean
well it means to
to set apart
to distinguish
it carries the sense
of reverent
knowledge
so when we
are to pray
hallowed be your name
what we're being told
to pray
is oh father
would you
in our life
in our church
set your name
apart
as holy
to be worshipped
when Jesus says
hallowed be your name
that name
carries a lot of freight
in psalm 20 verse 7
we read
some trust
in chariots
and some
in horses
but we trust
in the name
of the lord
our god
when the bible
uses that
that word
name like that
it's talking
about the very
character of god
so name
and character
god's character
are virtually
synonymous
so when Jesus
says
hallowed be your name
he's saying
pray that
god's character
would be reverenced
by all
very interesting
where he teaches
us to start
our prayers
Jesus
calls us
to begin
praying
to our
father
whose reputation
is to go out
among the nations
calls us to pray
big prayers
god exalting
prayers
it doesn't end
there
your kingdom
come
in matthew 6
when we read
about the lord's
prayer there
he expands on
this
your kingdom
come
your will be
done on earth
as it is in
heaven
so when Jesus
commands us
to petition the
father
your kingdom
come
he's urging
us to pray
that god's
revealed
will
will be
obeyed
by his
children
on earth
your kingdom
come
your will
be done
on earth
it's like
Jesus is
praying
telling us
to pray
oh
when you
pray to
your father
and you
pray that
you hallow
his name
and you
pray his
kingdom
come
pray
that god's
people
would live
in the
good of
his revealed
will
that they
would
obey
him
the
coming
kingdom
is the
saving
reign
of god
and when
jesus
came the
first time
he
inaugurated
that
kingdom
people are
being saved
around all
the world
right now
but then
he's going
to come
back a
second
time
and he's
going to
culminate
the
kingdom
it's
going to
be full
and beautiful
and perfect
and so
we live
in between
the comings
the
appearings
and so
our
call
and what
we're to
pray
is that
god's
kingdom
will be
established
and advanced
now
through his
word
your kingdom
come
these
first two
petitions
are
god
exalting
petitions
now if
you were to
measure
your current
prayer life
and what you
typically pray
and measure it up
against what
jesus is calling
you to pray
how are you
faring so far
where do you
begin your
prayers
jesus
continues
he moves
from god
exalting
prayers
to god
dependent
prayers
give us
each day
our daily
bread
this is the
third petition
we're to
ask our
father
for our
daily
needs
that
the little
phrase
daily
bread
is representative
of food
we all
need food
but it's
even bigger
than that
any
daily
need
that you
have
go to
your father
and ask
him for
it
here's what
this means
your father
in heaven
wants you
to come
to him
daily
for your
daily
needs
he's not
distant
he's not
far away
he's near
he's present
he wants
to help
you today
do you
remember
how long
israel was
in the
wilderness
wandering
there
for a
long time
and god
made this
amazing
provision
for them
on a
daily
basis
it was
called
manna
it literally
means
what is
that
god
provided
manna
israel
came out
like
what is
that
literally
that's
what
manna
means
what is
that
every
day
what is
that
is
there
every
day
do you
know
how long
for
40
years
day
after day
what is
that
there
manna
god
has already
established
a precedent
of daily
taking care
of his
people
we can
go for
him
to him
for our
daily
needs
whether
that's
food
shelter
clothing
or some
kind of
spiritual
nourishment
and strength
you go to
your father
daily
he's in
it
day in
day out
with us
he's not
standing aloof
far away
he's in
it with
us
so we
ask him
for our
daily
needs
and then
we're
going to
ask him
petition
him
to
forgive
us
our
sins
the
fourth
petition
when
was the
last time
you confessed
sin
to your
god
jesus
is teaching
us here
that confession
of sin
forgive us
our sins
it's a
normal
infrequent
part of
a
disciple's
life
prayer
life
just to
help you
understand
theologically
when a
sinner
puts their
faith in
jesus
for the
first
time
at that
moment
that
sinner
is declared
a saint
in god's
eyes
the spirit
of god
indwells
them
immediately
and they
are declared
righteous
in god's
sight
they're
justified
they're
forgiven
of all
their
sin
they've
got the
promise
of eternal
life
they've
been
adopted
into god's
family
sin
but what
you're
going to
need to
understand
is
when
someone
becomes
a
christian
their
sinful
nature
is not
completely
eradicated
and so
what happens
is you
have
saints
who are
indwelt
by god's
spirit
and justified
who continue
to sin
which means
they
will need
to regularly
confess
their sin
to the
one they've
sinned
against
the one
they've
sinned
against
is no
other than
their god
their father
so first
john 1 9
says if we
confess our
sins he's
faithful and
just to
forgive us
our sins
and to
cleanse us
from all
unrighteousness
and so
when god
by his
spirit
makes you
aware
of some
area of
sin in
your life
it is
good and
right for
you to
go to
your father
and say
forgive me
of my
sin
you acknowledge
it
and then you
ask him
to forgive
you for
it
well that
might sound
a little
weird because
I just
said that
once a
sinner's
justified
they're
completely
forgiven
of all
their sin
why would
they need
to confess
their sins
and ask
god forgiveness
if they've
already been
forgiven
well it
kind of
happens like
this
let's say
one of my
kids sins
against me
though that
would never
happen
I'm not
going to
immediately
disown
these
children
I love
them
even when
they sin
against me
I'm
committed
to them
and I
will always
be committed
to them
but the
reality is
when they
sin against
me things
are now
kind of
weird
between
us
there is
something
now in
the way
of our
normal
fellowship
there's an
elephant in
the room
one of my
children comes
up to me
and says
dad I am
so sorry
for what I
said
will you
forgive me
man they're
already
forgiven
I get to
say of
course
of course
now let's
experience the
goodness that
God intends
for us
child of
God you are
forgiven of
your father
but you still
sin against
him
go to him
and confess
that and
experience the
mercy and
forgiveness
afresh
you've got
nothing to
fear
Jesus is
here teaching
us to pray
our prayers
to pray
ask him to
forgive us
our sins
regularly
because we
sin regularly
and then he
says for we
ourselves forgive
everyone who
is indebted to
us that's just
a way of
saying hey
you want to
know how
you're truly
forgiven when
you forgive
others when
they sin
against you
that's when
you know
you're truly
forgiven by
God
we ask for
our sins to
be forgiven
and we
forgive others
when they
ask
the last
petition is
lead us not
into temptation
Jesus is
teaching us to
depend on God
in a certain
way here
having just
confessed sin
he's saying
now ask your
God not to
lead you into
sin
to deliver you
from evil
as Matthew
6 says
someone who's
intentionally
living for
Jesus is
constantly
asking his
or her
father to
keep him
or her
from sinning
oh God
deliver me
today
help me to
see the
temptation
when it
comes so
that in
the moment
I can
trust you
lead me
not into
temptation
and what's
implied here
is that our
father is a
holy father
and we are
to be holy
as he is
holy
do you know
the reason I
don't want to
sin I don't
want to sin
because it
grieves my
holy father
and so we're
asking him on
a regular
basis oh
God lead me
not in
temptation
let's get
really specific
when we go
in without
sleep we tend
to get kind
of cranky
don't we
and if we're
going without
sleep we'll be
uniquely tempted
to impatience
with the
people closest
to us
so one of
the things
that you can
do when you've
had a sleepless
night without
getting in the
details of why
you're having a
sleepless night
but one of the
things that you
you would do
well to do is
call upon your
father oh
father I'm
going to be
uniquely tempted
today to be
to be crotchety
and impatient
because I'm
loose I've
lacked sleep
God would you
deliver me from
the temptation
to be selfish
and hurtful
five petitions
and you can
group these
five petitions
into two
groups you
have the
first group
the hallow
would be your
name your
kingdom come
God exalting
group and
then you have
the latter
three the
provide for my
daily needs
the forgive us
our sins the
lead us not
into temptation
the God
dependent
petitions and
so whether
you're God
exalting in
your prayers or
God dependent
in your prayers
it's all God
glorifying prayers
it's all praying
that in which
you've been
completely reoriented
from being self
absorbed to being
now God
centered
when you follow
Jesus
it changes
everything
even the way
you pray
big
God
centered
God
exalting
God dependent
prayers
now let's talk
about praying
bold
where praying
big is the
content of our
prayers
it's all
God centered
praying bold
is how we
pray
and for that
Jesus
gives us a
parable
in verses
five and
seven
Jesus puts us
right into a
situation
verse five
it's midnight
and you go to
one of your
friends and ask
him to lend
you three loaves
verse six
tells us why
the reason why
you're asking
your friend for
three loaves
is that another
one of your
friends has
arrived late
and has been
on this
kind of gotten
to your place
unexpectedly
after a long
journey
and you have
nothing to
give him
that's the
problem
so you're
going to
your friend's
house
ask for help
and you knock
on his door
and from
within
verse seven
you hear your
friend say
don't bother
me the door
is now shut
and my children
are with me
in my bed
you got to
remember back
in the first
century Palestine
there wasn't
a 24 hour
festival or gas
station down
the street
and people
would live
in a one
bedroom
home
and they
would share
a bed
together
if you
are a
parent
with
little
dudes
someone
comes
knocking
on your
door
at midnight
you freak
out
you're like
do you not
know we've
got kids
and it's
taking them
30 minutes
each to
put them
to bed
what are
you crazy
so here's
this really
interesting
parable
about this
guy
who has
a friend
come
and he
goes to
another
friend
and is
kind of
knocking
on the
door
looking
for bread
and in
verse 8
we get
the point
of the
parable
it's
cued up
with those
words
I tell
you
Jesus
I tell
you
though he
will not
get up
and give
him
anything
because
he's
his
friend
yet
because
of his
impudence
he will
rise
and give
him
whatever
he needs
in other
words
Jesus
is saying
hey
you can
just show
up
and you
can play
the friend
card
and your
friend
who's as
snug as a
bug in a
you can
play your
friend
card
all night
he's not
coming out
for that
but you
know what
he's going
to come
out for
when you
keep on
talking to
him
hey
I need
some
bread
when are
you going
to get
up
I'm still
here
I need
bread
that
will get
your
friend
up
here's
how this
shakes
out
in our
house
this is
what's
called
impudence
not
impudence
if you're
reading out
of the
NIV
it's
translated
boldness
what
impudence
is this
shameless
boldness
that is
persistent
here's how
it shows up
in our
family
it's not
unusual
that we
have lines
form around
bathrooms
you start
hearing it
this way
how long
you're going
to be
the one
outside
the
bathroom
the one
inside
I don't
know
the one
outside
the bathroom
brings it
up a
notch
can you
just tell
me how
long
you're
going
to be
the one
inside
the
bathroom
a little
bit
the one
outside
the
bathroom
starts
would you
come
come on
already
I
gotta
use
the
bathroom
I'm
not
gonna
stop
knocking
until
you
get
out
that's
impudence
shameless
bold
persistence
you're
gonna keep
pressing
until you
get what
you want
Jesus
is teaching
on prayer
and he
shares
this
parable
about
shamelessly
bold
persistence
in asking
for something
and then
in verses
9 and
10
he brings
it home
to his
disciples
he applies
it to
them
and I
tell you
disciples
ask
and it
will be
given
to you
there's
some
impudence
seek
and you
will find
impudence
knock
and it
will be
opened
to you
verse
10
for
everyone
who
asks
receives
and the
one
who
seeks
finds
and to
the
one
who
knocks
it
will
be
opened
and so
Jesus
has just
made the
point of the
parable
and now
in verses
9 and
10
he's
applying
this
parable
to his
disciples
in order
to pray
ask
seek
and knock
keep
on asking
keep
on seeking
keep
on knocking
until you
receive
what
you're
seeking
be
insistent
and in
verse 10
there's this
little tweak
for
everyone
who asks
receives
and the
one
who
seeks
finds
and the
one
who
knocks
it
will
be
opened
the
tweak
is that
it's
emphasizing
the
promise
of it
if you
keep
on
boldly
persisting
and seeking
you're
going to
find
if you
boldly
persist
in
asking
you'll
receive
if you
boldly
persist
in
knocking
the doors
are going
to be
opened
up
for you
keep
on
keeping
on
it's
going
to
happen
and one
might start
thinking
well
it's
going
to
happen
because
I'm
being
so
persistent
but
Jesus
is about
to
really
flip
this
it's
not
about
your
persistence
it's
about
the
one
you're
asking
kind of
begs
the
question
okay
what
what's
the
basis
of
this
promise
if I'm
going to
be
persistent
on what
basis
will
God
answer
my
asking
and my
seeking
and my
knocking
how do
I know
that God's
going to
respond
to
big
and
bold
prayers
ongoing
knocking
well that
leads us
to
verses
11
and
13
we're
to
pray
big
and
we're
to
pray
bold
impudently
but
we're
to
pray
believing
the
why
of
our
bold
big
prayers
Jesus
comes
full
circle
remember
in
verse
2
father
hallowed
be
your
name
and
now
in
verses
11
through
13
he
comes
back
to
this
father
theme
and
he's
going
to
make
a
case
that
the
reason
why
we
pray
big
and
we
pray
bold
is
because
we
have
a
father
unlike
any
other
father
and
he
makes
his
point
with
a
comparison
and
he
starts
it
in
verses
11
and
12
just
imagine
if
he
asked
you
this
moms
and
dads
what
father
or
mother
among
you
if
his
son
asks
for
a
fish
will
instead
of
a
fish
give
him
a
poisonous
serpent
or
if
he
asks
for
an
egg
will
give
him
a
deadly
scorpion
Jesus
is
brilliant
what
he's
playing
on
is
every
parent's
commitment
instinctual
commitment
to do
good
to
their
children
saying
what
father
among
you
if
your
son
asks
for
fish
will
give
him
instead
of
a
fish
a
serpent
and
the
answer
is
none
of
us
would
Jesus
knows
that
he's
setting
up
a
comparison
it's
verse
13
that
he
makes
the
comparison
he
starts
if
you
then
if
you
then
who
wouldn't
give
a
scorpion
for
an
egg
to
your
child
if
you
then
who
are
evil
sinful
you're
the
one
that's
asking
God
to
forgive
you
for
your
sins
on
a
regular
basis
if
you
who
are
evil
give
good
gifts
to
your
children
how
much
more
will
your
heavenly
father
give
the
holy
spirit
to
his
children
who
ask
for
it
the
comparison
is a
comparison
that's
called
and how
much
more
comparison
it
moves
from
lesser
to
greater
in
this
case
it's
moving
from
the
lesser
evil
parents
who
know
how
to
give
good
gifts
to
the
kids
to
the
greater
a
heavenly
father
who
gives
the
holy
spirit
to
his
kids
let's
camp out
on the
how
much
more
how
much
more
how
much
more
how
much
more
think in
terms of
purity
of
character
we
are
sinners
and
in our
parenting
we
still
get
good
gifts
to
our
kids
even
though
we're
evil
how
much
more
does
a
perfectly
holy
God
give
good
gifts
to
his
children
how
much
more
in
terms
of
character
how
much
more
in
terms
of
authority
we
are
on
earth
with
limited
authority
with
limited
responsibility
God
is
in
heaven
our
heavenly
father
and
he
has
authority
over
all
things
how
much
more
authority
how
much
more
power
we
are
limited
finite
we
need
sleep
and
we
get
cranky
when
we
don't
but
our
heavenly
father
he
is
of
unlimited
power
he
is
from
everlasting
to
everlasting
infinite
he
does
not
sleep
nor
he
slumbers
Psalm
121
and
he
never
gets
cranky
at least
not
over
sleep
how
much
more
power
how
much
more
wise
when
we
give
good
gifts
to
our
kids
we
do
the
best
we
can
right
as
any
parent
in
the
room
after
giving
your
kids
something
like
six
months
later
you're
like
I'm
not
sure
if
I
should
have
done
that
we
lack
wisdom
when
God
gives
a
gift
it's
given
by
the
wisest
of
all
fathers
it's
the
best
he
never
regrets
it
how
much
more
willing
sometimes
when
I'm
giving
something
to my
kids
or
they
ask
me
for
something
I
am
sinfully
kind
of
reluctant
how
much
more
willing
is
our
father
who
is
always
eager
and
poised
to
answer
the
prayers
of
his
children
how
much
more
resourced
we
can
give
our
children
food
we
can
give
our
children
toys
we
can
give
our
children
clothing
and
vacations
and
bikes
and
even
an
education
but
how
much
more
our
father
is
resourced
our
father
gives
the
holy
spirit
our
father
who
is
god
gives
god
to
his
children
think
about
it
this
way
my
kids
spent
some
time
with
my
dad
my
mom
these
are
years
ago
and
my
parents
brought
them
to
fun
way
roller
rink
in
batavia
illinois
and
they
got
an
arcade
and
my
dad
brought
my
kids
in
and
my
kids
used
to
their
father
was
figuring
yeah
I'm
gonna
have
to
make
five
bucks
stretch
a
long
way
in
that
arcade
and
so
when
they
asked
their
grandpa
how
much
they
can
spend
my
father
their
grandpa
said
I'm
loaded
you
know
what that
meant
unlimited
I'm
resourced
God
we
give
gifts
to
our
kids
and
we're
limited
in
our
resources
God
gives
the
Holy
Spirit
to
his
kids
and
it
is
an
unlimited
resource
why
is
Jesus
making
this
comparison
why
is
Jesus
making
this
comparison
between
evil
parents
who
give
good
gifts
and
our
heavenly
father
who
gives
the
Holy
Spirit
why
is
he
making
the
comparison
he
is
compelling
us
to
pray
to
our
father
think
about
who
your
father
is
Jesus
is
what
Jesus
is
doing
how
wonderful
and
trustworthy
he
is
we
can
be
confident
that
our
God
will
give
us
what
we
ask
for
lead
us
to
what
we
seek
and
open
doors
we
knock
on
because
he
is
a
good
how
good
so
good
that
he
gave
his
only
begotten
son
for
you
how
much
more
along
with
him
also
will
he
not
give
you
everything
Romans
8
32
if
he
was
willing
to
give
his
son
for
you
he'll
give
you
everything
else
you
need
for
life
and
godliness
he
will
give
you
his
Holy
Spirit
again
and
again
and
again
this
is
the
basis
for
our
big
bold
prayers
we've
got
a
big
bountiful
father
he's
going
to
pour
out
his
Holy
Spirit
on
us
again
and
again
if
we
only
just
ask
for
it
so
let's
go
back
to
the
praying
big
so
if
we
go
to
our
father
do
you
know
why
we
pray
father
Romans
8
because
the
Holy
Spirit
bears
witness
with
our
spirit
that
we
are
children
of
God
that's
why
we
pray
father
that's
a
ministry
of
the
Holy
Spirit
father
hallowed
be
your
name
and
when
we
ask
God
to
make
known
his
name
in
our
lives
and
through
our
lives
in
this
city
in
this
world
when
we
pray
that
God
responds
by
pouring
out
the
Holy
Spirit
on
us
to
do
things
that
only
he
can
do
who
makes
God
known
the
Holy
Spirit
spotlights
God
when
we
go to
God
and we
ask
oh
father
let
your
kingdom
come
bring
about
the
obedience
to
your
will
on
earth
that
is
in
heaven
do
you
know
who
does
that
the
Holy
Spirit
brings
about
the
inclination
in
his
children's
heart
to
obey
his
will
to
give
you
strength
to
follow
him
when
we
start
asking
our
father
to
provide
our
daily
needs
do
you
know
why
we're
asking
him
to
pray
for
our
daily
needs
the
spirit
in
us
our
father
to
meet
our
needs
when
we
ask
God
to
forgive
us
our
sins
it's
his
spirit
ministering
to
us
that
reminds
us
oh
that's
been
forgiven
oh
that's
been
forgiven
that's
been
forgiven
too
on
the
head
of
Jesus
that
is
done
it's
finished
there
is
no
condemnation
for
those
who
are
in
Christ
Jesus
bear
that
on
your
mind
when
we
ask
that
God
would
not
lead
us
into
temptation
did
you
know
that
it
is
a
ministry
of
the
Holy
Spirit
to
lead
a
Christian
into
greater
godliness
Romans
chapter
8
Galatians
chapter
5
walk
by
the
spirit
and
do
not
gratify
the
desires
of
the
flesh
when
we
pray
these
things
and
we
ask
God
answers
and
he
pours
out
his
Holy
Spirit
to
empower
his
children
to
live
a
life
for
the
glory
of
his
name
and
notice
verse
13

to
those
who
ask
him

to
those
who

big
and
we
pray
bold
and
we
pray
believing
that
our
heavenly
father
is
eager
to
pour
out
his
spirit
on
us
for
the
glory
of
his
name
and
he's
made
it
all
possible

point

your
name
