11-28-18 Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done

Daily Devotion: "Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done" - By Greg Laurie - www.harvest.org
 
"Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." -Matthew 6:10
 
How can we know the will of God? We find it in the Word of God. The more we read the Bible, the more we'll understand it, and the more we'll discover what the will of God is.
 
Jesus said we should pray, "Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10 NKJV). This reminds us that the primary objective of prayer is to first line up our will with the will of God.
 
In John 15 we find this amazing promise from Jesus: "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you" (verse 7 NKJV). The Message puts it this way: "But if you make yourselves at home with me and my words are at home in you, you can be sure that whatever you ask will be listened to and acted upon."
 
Of course, we immediately focus on the last part of that verse: "You will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." But hold on. Let's go back to the conditions Jesus gave: "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you. . . ." In other words, if we maintain a living communion with Him, and His words are at home with us, that will change the way we pray.
 
God wants us to discover His will. And true praying is not overcoming God's reluctance; it is taking hold of His willingness. Prayer is not about getting our will in Heaven; it is about getting God's will on earth.
 
If you want to see your prayers answered in the affirmative, that is the key. Find out what the will of God is and then start praying that way.

9-16-23 Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19

Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19 :: By Paul J. Scharf Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles The Messiah was a descendant of Abraham. More than that, we considered last time how He was, in fact, promised within the covenant that God made with Abram (Gen. 12:1-3). According to the Apostle Paul in Gal. 3:16 and 19, He is the ultimate recipient of that covenant! Our Savior Jesus Christ is finally the One through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). Paul also quoted and discussed that portion of the covenant in Gal. 3:8-9. We ended last time with the realization that the promised Messiah would be the final Davidic king over Israel. As declared then, however, there are several intermediate steps, with accompanying prophecies, which are given between the times of Abraham and David and speak about His coming and the offices He would hold as the greatest prophet, priest, and king. And there are also more ance

Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles, Wilfred Hahn Christians Using Science Badly: Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn Reviewing the “facts” that we cited in Part 1, we noted the hyperbole and downright dishonesty in some instances to support global warming claims. Why is there such bias? Money Precedes Truth Global warming has become big business. Armies of global consultants are peddling false information because it is profitable to do so. Many claimed urgencies are exaggerated by factors of 10X … indeed, 200X in some instances and more. Governments are particularly susceptible to this hype, promising infrastructure programs estimated to cost upwards of trillions of dollars. According to a new report,1 an estimated $3.4 trillion will be invested in renewable energy during the next decade, including $2.72 trillion in wind and solar. By 2030, 54.1% of installed capacity will be renewable (including hydropo

9-17-23 It's Coming

It Is Coming - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/12/24/it-is-coming-by-daymond-duck/ On Dec. 17, 2022, it was reported that Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, has introduced legislation to permanently bar former Pres. Trump from running for president again, and 40 Democrats have signed on. Cicilline is accusing Trump of orchestrating an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. At the time of this writing, it is debatable as to whether Cicilline’s legislation will get voted on before the new Congress takes office in 2023, but some conservatives have said from the beginning that the main purpose of the Jan. 6 fake show-trial was to stop Trump from being elected again. Some, including this writer, have said there is no telling what the U.S. shadow government will do to prevent making America great again (MAGA) because they want to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the New World Order (coming world government). It was easy to see this comi
