He made it!!! And gave profuse thanks to God!
I'd like to see ANYONE try that and not seek help from Above. That's no place to be alone.
Jel Osteen....PRAISING GOD...what a blessing! Let’s see the msm play this tomorrow!
No! Give it up!
The prayer before he started and his constant verbal expression of faith was certainly a witness. We need more of those strong Christians who openly express their faith without reservation like he did before, during, and after his crossing. I pray God protects him throughout all of his feats.
I'm betting the soundtrack will be muted.
A sunday stroll accross the canyon. The Good Lord was with him tonight.
My husband said “just wait, we’ll hear the TV news anchors saying how awful it was that people were offended because he was calling on God while walking.”
Wallenda performs without a safety net or harness. “My great-grandfather taught that safety nets offer a false sense of security,” he explains. He notes that a safety net is no guarantee – an uncle was killed while performing despite falling into a safety net. However, he says he does not have a “death wish in any way. I plan on living and dying a natural death when I’m old.” Asked about fear, he remarked “I would say the only thing I fear is God. He adds that his Christian faith allows him to “know where I’m going to go when I die ... I’m not scared of dying.
Wallenda says that the high-wire performance is not a daredevil act or a mere stunt, but rather an athletic feat requiring great physical training ] “I see a stunt as somebody who gets in a barrel and goes over the edge and hopes they don’t hit a rock,” he said commenting on his walk across Niagara Falls. “What I do is very calculated. I train a long time for it and I consider it more of an art. I guess I don’t get offended by [people] calling it a stunt, but to me it’s more of an art than anything.” He aims to be “over-prepared” for every event he does, training six hours a day, six days a week. He does ten hours of weight training and five hours of aerobic exercise each week. Even so, he says wire walking is primarily a mental skill.

His faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is as amazing as his ability to tightrope.

Does “sorcerer of my strength” make sense?
CAIR will probably chime in with protests.
I’m glad that’s over. I think I was sweating more than Nik. I loved that he so openly praised the Lord.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. The Obama crowd were probably saying: “I hope that Bible thumping SOB falls”.
OK, that makes sense. I thought he said sorcerer of strength.
Probably would be fined by Michael Bloomberg for being non-inclusive if he walks in NYC .
This guy is FEARLESS..absolutely what he just did..and he praised Jesus every step of the way..must have pissed off the lib atheists hearing him praise Jesus the entire time. Thank God he was able to cross to the other side God was with him the entire time
My hobby is gardening. Or maybe it’s just the internet now...
