    Have you ever been so excited to meet someone that you were almost scared? Or, have you waited for something so long that the closer the time comes to that day the more nervous and shaky you become?

    Happy “Encounter” Weekend, Everyone!

    based on 26 ratings
     | 7,220 views

    The whole experience of PRAYER is not to wrestle with God over our demands, but to know the heart of the One who seek to bless us and call us to a higher purpose in life, and help us understand our utter dependence on Him for success.

    This picture of Jacob wrestling with a God-man can be considered as one of the most bizarre encounter in the Bible. • He was all alone, having sent his family and all his possessions across the stream. • It was in the night, and he wrestled with this God-man until daybreak.

    Many people would like to ask God a question, but Moses actually received just such an opportunity, as we can see in 4 brief movements in his "interview with God" in Exodus 3:1-10.

    Have you ever wanted to ask God a question? You know, interview Him? What would you ask Him? How many of your questions would begin with “Why?” Many times, we resort to asking that infamous question – “Why?” – especially when we feel as though our lives have been interrupted. Maybe you’ve ...read more
