On Earth as it is in Heaven
By Sidharth Mohandas Yesterday we had a look at our fish tank, and we noticed that some of the fish had died. We investigated what had caused this. Eventually we realized it happened because the water had become contaminated. Giving the fish more food wouldn’t help, nor would adding more oxygenating plants. What needed to [...]
The Focus of Kingdom Prayer
By Sidharth Mohandas A while back I remember my dad told me that he had forgotten to take something from the car, and so he gave me the key and asked me if I could get it. I went to open the car door but I couldn’t. I kept on trying, but the door just [...]
Conflicting Principles
By Sidharth Mohandas In the initial phase of Jesus’ ministry, you find Him bringing His audience to a place of faith by intensifying the law. Anger was equated to murder (Matthew 5:21-22), lust to sexual immorality (Matthew 5:27-28), the standards for marriage were raised (Matthew 5:31-32), the severity of the judgment of sin was brought [...]
When should I keep on asking?
By Sidharth Mohandas “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” [Mark 11:24] If you take this verse in it’s context, you will realize that Jesus said this to His disciples after He cursed the fig tree. However, in this instance you [...]
Our Journey into the Throne Room
By Sidharth Mohandas Very few people have learnt how to enter God’s Presence through prayer. They try praying for a few minutes, struggling to convince themselves of His Presence, but then they stop short and leave without entering His throne room. Before I take you into the different stages of entering the Shekhinah or the [...]
Deal with the roots…

(Ephesians 6:12) This is a familiar verse to most of us; however, very few have learned to apply it in day-to-day lives. We are so [...]
Pray without ceasing…
Courtesy to Jupiterimages.com By Sidharth Mohandas “Pray without ceasing.” [1 Thessalonians 5:17] Many people have felt condemned because they have had the notion that this means they had to be praying 24 hours around the clock.

Why are you sleeping?
By Sidharth Mohandas Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives and his disciples followed Him. On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from [...]
Go into the Throne Room…
By Sidharth Mohandas In the first book of Kings we read about an incident where Adonijah, son of David who was born to Haggith, usurped the throne of David without David’s knowledge. However, David had promised the throne to Bathsheba’s son Solomon. Friends, have you faced similar circumstances? As I was reading this passage many [...]

By PJ Sorensen Pray As If Your Life Depends On It! It Does! Prayer is a vital necessity. It’s part of our relationship with our Creator and with our L-rd. How can you have a relationship with a personal Savior unless you have a conversation with Him? Over the years, I’ve heard many a good [...]
