A walking God Encounter

"When we experience God, it changes the way we see the world and ourselves—what we see in us and around us. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the grave lives inside of us, and that Spirit longs to get out of us. The Holy Spirit enables us to become a walking encounter wherever we go."

" Not Guilty Anymore "

It doesn’t matter what You’ve done;

It doesn't matter where you're coming from
Doesn’t matter where you’ve been,

Hear me tell you I forgive

You’re not guilty anymore,

You're not filthy anymore,
I love you, mercy is yours
You're not broken anymore,

You're not captive anymore
I love you, mercy is yours

Can you believe that this is true,

Grace abundant I am giving you
Cleansing deeper than you know,

All was paid for long ago

There is now therefore no condemnation

for those who are in Jesus

You are spotless
You are holy
You are faultless
You are whole
You are righteous
You are blameless
You are pardoned
You are mine

When I wake up I'm going to be..........

By Joseph Prince

‎...Those who are righteous...do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly. —Psalm 112:6–8, NLT

My friend, I want to encourage you to wake up every day expecting good. Keep your mind positive, full of joy, hope and anticipation of all the good things God has in store for you, His beloved! Spring up from your bed, stand in front of your mirror and boldly declare, “I am the disciple whom Jesus loves. I am the apple of His eye. Everything I do and touch shall be blessed! The Lord’s wisdom, favor and provision flow mightily in and through me. Amen!” When you do this, you are accessing the Lord’s abundant provision for you, and all the stress, worries, negative emotions and anxieties will fade away.

Schoolies Australia

In Australia our media refers to "Schoolies," (that is, the week long alcohol fueled sex party after high school), as a "Rite of Passage into Adulthood". Most of these youth are only 17.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe that these Year 12's and the so called "Toolies" are only attracted to "Schoolies Celebrations" because they are yet to have an 'extreme encounter' with Jesus Christ. I am not talking about sitting in Church singing a few songs and listening to a sermon, or playing games at youth group. I am talking about being totally blasted by the presence of God. Experiencing first hand, God healing people, setting them free, filling them with the Holy Spirit making them new, blasting them with joy.........As the old chorus says "and the things of this world grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace."

When the Spirit Comes.....

Leif Hetland writes 

"After that encounter with the Holy Spirit, I no longer looked at God as an angry, austere authority figure. I saw Him as a kind, tenderhearted God of love. He was my Papa, and I was His dearly beloved son. I no longer saw myself as a slave, working for wages, but rather as a son, living off his inheritance. I saw others differently, too. I no longer saw them through the harsh glare of judgment but through the soft gaze of love. Even the future looked different. Through Heaven’s eyes there was nothing to fear about the end times; instead, I found so much to love, which was startling and, at the same time, exhilarating"

From the book Seeing Through Heavens Eyes

A heightened awareness

 A Quote from "The Ecstasy of loving God" by John Crowder.

"Today the world is in birth pangs, being shaken from a natural perception of things observable and awakened to a heightened awareness of things unseen. We are being awakened to the glory realm—the atmosphere of God’s tangible, manifest presence. The spiritual realm of Heaven is a greater reality than the known, material universe. One might say it is a meta-reality, for the spiritual always affects and overrides the physical. Things which are shifted in the spirit bring direct consequence to the natural realm.

These are exciting times as God shifts our concept of reality. He is preparing us for the phenomenal—angelic encounters, visitations of Jesus, bizarre miracles, and multitudes of souls coming into the Kingdom. The thing which most needs shifting today is us. God will not have an end-time church that is depressed, cynical, doubting, religious, or powerless. He will have a church that lives and breathes from a heavenly vantage point, even while their feet still touch the earth. This church will be filled with joy, faith, intimacy, and power like no previous generation.

In this day, God will not have for Himself a purpose-driven church, but a Spirit-driven church—an intimate bride who is moved and motivated by the cloud of His presence. He is looking for lovers, not do-gooders. A people who are enraptured by His fragrance and lost in the eternal weight of His goodness."
