| AT
THE WATER'S EDGE prayer evolved out of special prayer
time I was able to spend with my brother-in-law (also an
ordained deacon) who had non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, a form of
Lymphatic cancer. Our Lord touched him in a very special
way that day when we prayed. Deacon Ken went into
remission later on that year. He was a survivor for over
four and a half years, but after a series of events Ken
went into shock and died on July 6, 1995. This way of praying and meeting the Lord Jesus
"At The Water's Edge" and letting Him lead us
in prayer has brought Jesus' healing touch to thousands
of people since that day I prayed with Ken.
Each of us has a story
to tell.
We need only to take the time to discover who Jesus is
for us TODAY.
At the Water's Edge is a beautiful
prayer that introduces the person Jesus to a community of
believers.
To introduce the person Jesus in a
personal way to those who may be skeptical or curious
about this form of prayer. "Can this really happen?
Is Jesus really present to me in this prayer, or is it
just my imagination?"
Jesus uses our imaginations. Yes, even
though people visualize him in different ways, and even
though they may become distracted during these
sessions...it's alright. We know that Jesus uses
distractions to help us concentrate on him even more. To
search him out...to seek his face.
During this prayer people are touched
deeply, many to tears of sadness and joy. There is
healing and a transformation that takes place from the
very moment this prayer begins. Each person is affected
in the way our Lord chooses to 'move on' him or her at
the time of the prayer. After all, it was Jesus who
invited you to come to the "Water's Edge".
