A birthright is a gift from God, and like all the gifts and blessings God has for us we sometimes have to wait for them. The problem with most people is, we want what we want when we want it. Often times we take matters into our own hands, not waiting on the promises of God and we do things that we regret later on in life. When we start to think and function in the Spirit of God then and only then will we learn to receive, accept and appreciate the gifts that are for us from God. This is the Esau in all of us. The Jacob in us also want what we want when we want it. We are covetous by nature, wanting what the other person has. When then take advantage of and manipulate them in such away that they would give us just what we wanted of theirs. BUT, when the Jacob in us starts to operate in the spirit of God, we too would wait on the Lord to bless us with the blessing He has just for us. Along with deceptive behavior comes consequences. just because Jacob received Esau's blessings, doesn't make him any less guilty of not doing unto others as you would others to do unto you. God will repay all men accordingly.

When we ask "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, I believe we are in effect requesting the kingdom of heaven to be here on earth, that all Christians become true representatives of God's kingdom in heaven. To seek God's will to be done is putting away all of our selfishness and self-centeredness and relying completely and totally on God knowing and believing that HIS will is best for us. If when we pray this with all sincerity of heart when then begin to walk this way as Jesus walked in all holiness and Godliness.

The Father's name is Holy and should always be reverenced in that way. It should not be used in vain. Commonly spoken of. When we do that we besmirches it. We must train ourselves to not use the Lord's name in vain. Remembering always that GOD THE FATHER IS HOLY, and is name, which is indicative of the whole person of God, is holy.
