The Art of Wrestling with God
Duane L. Bemis
Are you at a place where you know that there is more to life than you are currently experiencing? Do you know there is more to this walk with knowing and experiencing God?

We also desire that these words would edify our hearts to hold fast to You and Your higher ways. Amen and amen."
Let us begin with our biblical story where Jacob goes and wrestles with God and receives his personal blessings. We start here because this is where my heart was, I wanted to receive His personal blessings. Listen to the word of God.

Rule number one is to spend alone time with our God. To start our deeper walk with the Lord we must spend alone time with our God to build a relationship with Him. The Lord wants to show himself to us. And in our alone time there must not be any kind of distractions. Notice from our selected verse there were no peop ...
