9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

you Mormons may think you have something you like to call “heavenly father” but Christians have God the Father who is Spirit and has never had a body nor shall ever have one..
***
I know what you have, how convenient to have a spirit who claims to be of 3 in one substance.
How glorified is that?
Why would the most High remain a spirit in some minds?
Lucifer/Satan will always be a spirit because of the fall from grace, never to received or to be glorified with an eternal body
When Heavenly Father Glorified His resurrected Son, Jesus Christ, Jesus receive an Eternal body of Flesh and Bone, like his Eternal Father has....
John 5
(one either can receive or not receive, one can be shown or one cannot (see)
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
BTW The Lord’s Prayer is to Heavenly Father, Matthew 6
____________________________________________
Where does it say “Heavenly Father” in Matthew 6 ???
where is the prayer identified as “the Lord’s Prayer” ???
____________________________________
DUH
Maybe because God said that He was and is Spirit ??? (John 4:24)
I am the Lord I never change Malachi 3:6
why do you use Christian sources ???
Why don’t you use Mormon sources ???
You complain that I don’t use Mormon sources and then you go off road yourself ???
I know what you have, how convenient to have a spirit who claims to be of 3 in one substance.

Eh ???
Lucifer/Satan will always be a spirit because of the fall from grace, never to received or to be glorified with an eternal body

He drank coffee..
He associated with a Flying Inman...

In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these “Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet”, for our salvation depends on them.
1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say “Thus Saith the Lord,” to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.
I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain—how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord’s anointed—the living Prophet—President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.

Our Father
________________________________
The LORD Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God called God His Father...”My Father” because God is His father...
He told us believers to call God “our Father” because God is our Father if we are born again in water and in spirit..
Jesus said “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Matthew 5:9
and Jesus also said “But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
John said “Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.” John 1:12, 13
and John also said “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3”1, 2
Paul said “Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, Galatians for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 3:23-29
Paul also said “those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.” Romans 8:14-16
and Paul also said “But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are His sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father. So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are His child, God has made you also an heir.” Galations 4:4-7
so although we don’t start out as the children of God once we are saved we are adopted by God.
God only ever had one child, His Son, Jesus. Humans can become the sons and daughters of God through adoption when we are born again...
and we know that we are the children of God...
and thats why I know I am a beloved child of the most High God, adopted by Him, grafted into the vine..
