    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 27, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,211 views

    God wants us to go to him to meet what really is a spiritual need. When we declare who God is and what he has done, we will be open to hearing His voice and doing His will, because we know that God only wants the best for us.

Thus a shift in subject springs from Jesus’ last answer. If Jesus’ authority to ...read more
