Praying God’s Promises

The Bible is full of promises that we can use to guide our prayers and decision-making Isaiah 40:8 “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” Jesus made it clear that we would endure hardship in this life.

It is time to seek the Lord.” Hosea 10:12

Who are you in Christ?

If that is really happening — and I emphasize REALLY HAPPENING — then what you believe in the way of doctrine is going to reflect Him and agree fully with scripture. There is NO other possible outcome of knowing Christ — even if you cannot state the Truth doctrinally,you will believe in your heart..
