Genesis 32:24 (NKJV) “Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.” He had already seen angels. He knew it was “God’s camp”. What a realization to know that God is where you are! Yet Jacob was still afraid. He wasn’t quite sure. Oh, he had begun […]
Psalm 107:15-16 (NKJV) “Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He has broken the gates of bronze, and cut the bars of iron in two. “ It was over 30 years ago when I found myself in a jail

Acts 3:13 (NKJV) “The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go.” This is Peter talking to a large group of onlookers who were seeing a lame man who
