May it be done in Heaven as on Earth.

Metrine Livole: NASA supporters are really obeying 'Baba' may you obey your heavenly father the creator of the universe n everything namna hiyo n more, sawa!

Lung'afa: May it be done to Heaven as it is done on Earth?

Victoria Ndanyi: Well put

Metrine Livole: it is written clearly ... May God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven' it will ne'ver be vise versa. Its not about our will but Gods will, keep away corrupt talk from your lips.

Lung'afa: But your post started other way round

Lung'afa: As is put in expected terms. What if?

Mudengani Kisia: Matters spiritual are only discerned, they bring out evidence without investigation. They give result without analysis. Thus as it is written, the things of the spirit are only known to them that are in spirit. And the things of God revealed to them who know him.

Lung'afa: Who could necessarily not be the sayers. Anoho?

Mudengani Kisia: It is written that 'we are made in the image of God'. It's this relationship that enables us communicate with Him. But one has to have the will to know Him.
