Jabbok A Place Of Total Surrender

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Feb 10, 2010

There is a great spiritual lesson in this because God wants us to seek our safety in complete surrender to His power and love. It is when we reach one hand to Him, while we keep holding on to the things of the world with the other, that we are in danger.

JABBOK A PLACE OF TOTAL SURRENDER GENESIS 32:22 30 Last night I was sitting on my porch, on my new porch swing, and I was watching several birds sitting on the wire that carries the electrical power to my house.

What Is Your Name

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Oct 2, 2008

Discovering your name sometimes requires experiences of dark nights and aloneness. God must test our behaviour. He pushes us to see things that are not good for us, things that must change. He loves us far to much to leave us to our destructive behaviour
