Ken's Story
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.
What takes place...
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".

"A
third time Jesus said, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me?' Peter
became sad because Jesus asked him the third time, 'Do you love
me?' and so he said to him, 'Lord, you know everything; you know
that I love you!' Jesus said, 'Take care of my sheep.' Then Jesus
said to him, 'Follow me!"
