![Through prayer we set our mind on the things which are above, where Christ is (Col. 3:2). The best way to wet our mind on the things in the heavens is through prayer. [In the picture: Whether or not our prayer is answered is secondary. The primary thing is that grace flows like a river from the throne and into our being.]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/primary-thing-grace-flows-like-a-river.jpg?fit=300%2C200&ssl=1)
Persevering in prayer has many benefits, enriching both our spiritual life and our relationship with the Lord and with the Body of Christ. If we mean business with the Lord and make a vow before Him concerning our prayer life, and then we daily practice to have set times of prayer in which prayer is […]
We’re on the Last Part of the Journey to Meet the Lord: Let’s Keep Rowing!
The signs of the Lord’s second return can be clearly seen in the world today, from the political situation and the union of the European countries to become the revived Roman empire, to the gospel of the kingdom being preached to the whole inhabited earth as a testimony before the end would come (Matt. 24:14-15).

This week we are focusing on, the Building of the House of Jehovah, which is the Father’s house. Especially in the book of Haggai, we see that after a while the people of Israel stopped building the house of God but did their best to build up their own house. If we read Haggai we […]
being a Christian student on the campus – God, our education, and our character
Before coming to the UK to study independently, I had my parents to “push me to study” all the time. But when there is no one to make me study, I had to make myself study.

the reigning of Christ will be in righteousness and in justice, by which peace will be ushered in
Today we as believers in the Lord need to learn to submit to the Lord’s throne – we need to set Him as the King in righteousness in our being. As Matt. 6:33 says, we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all the other things that we need will be added to us. The reality of the kingdom today is in the church life – here we learn to live out the righteousness expressed by keeping the new law of the kingdom. In other words, in the church life today we learn to live out Christ as our righteousness. When we live out Christ as our righteousness in the church life, we have peace!
