     | 3,810 views

    It’s important to pray in a way that is not self-centered.

    I recently saw a sign for a store advertising a grand opening. The store manager boasted of great give-a-ways and all sort of wonderful prizes. However, none of these things compare to what we gain when Heaven opens.

    In our text Heaven opened to show Peter a vision from God of our world,both Jews, Gentiles and Samaritans. God also showed Peter that he would have to work among the unbelief, prejudices, and despair of this world. Heaven opened to give Peter a promise of continual divine assistance.

For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." Christ condemned ...read more
