And through that breath we will know that He is the LORD. We also briefly touched upon those that claim activities, ...read more

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jun 18, 2005

The Christian life is like "Walking on Water" and to do it successfully we need to be assured that Jesus Prays for Us; He’s Present with Us, Helps Us to cope with Fear and Urges Us to Move Out in Faith.
