 Your picture of heaven is your starting point as to what you believe can be completed here on earth. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he said, let it be done on earth as it is in heaven. God gave man the authority to carry out his will here on earth. So you must know his will in order to be his vessel that he can work through. A question you must ask yourself, do I trust God to meet my need or do I believe he will let me down?
