    As It Is In Heaven

    Contributed by Scott Sutton on Aug 14, 2022
     | 4,582 views

    Reading the Lord’s Prayer recently, I thought about something that it says in a way that I had never thought about before. It says in verse #10 “...Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

So that means we also need to know what is happening in Heaven and how God’s will is being accomplished. The first ...read more

     | 7,538 views

    So many people do not use one of the greatest resource that the believer has, and that is prayer. Do you think of prayer as something to use only in an emergency? Do you believe you have a better hold on your life than God could? Do you want any thing out

     | 713 views

We hear people constantly speak that whatever happened was God’s ...read more
