Wrestles With God

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 31, 2006

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 see him as a hero ...read more

Walking With God

Contributed by John Chapman on Dec 16, 2003

Since the Garden of Eden, God has desired to walk with us and we with Him. Cain knew a time when God walked with him and reached out to him as sin grew in his heart. Does the beginning relate to todays world? Does GOD still desire us? Do we Ignore Him?

In verse Gen. 3:8 “And they heard the sound of God walking in the garden in the cool of the day.” We can see that Adam and Eve were so accustom to God walking in the garden that they ...read more
