God's Encounter

So yeah, I'm sitting here late at night eating a little bit of breakfast and dinner at the same time... That's right people, some Reece's Peanut Butter Cup cereal and peperoni pizza from dominoes at the same exact time... Only ballers think of stuff like that. But I digress, I really am enjoying this whole blogging idea of putting my thoughts, concerns and motivations in writing.

This past week, I've heard so many miraculous testimonies from God's children at Vertical while they were at Verge 2010 in Sandestin, Fl. So many mind-blowing, near impossible things had began to shake the hearts of the students and the leaders. Many of the students found clarity in the voice of God, others found clear direction from a prophetic word of envisionment from Him. I, myself, as you have learned in my blog before this one found clear understanding of my purpose in Him. One of the greatest miracles that I have witnessed was a number of out students of Vertical who attend The Refuge obtaining their prayer language from. If you are not familiar with prayer language, I urge you to read Acts 2 in the bible. If any further questions come up please send a note of get in touch with someone who has a clear understanding of it. But I continue, seeing these wonderful children go after something they've pleaded for, for so long, finally receiving that blessing, is one of the greatest moments in my life so far. I mean the testimonies are heard after the encounter, the excitement I seen on their faces as they ran up to me, telling me of their wonder. Everything that I seen from these students, I know that they will carry that moment with them for the rest of their lives. Not just live in that only moment, but utilize it as a tool. Just like Sean Smith said, (not in exact words) one of the biggest problems with our journey as Christians is experiencing a moment like that and then waiting and waiting for that exact experience to happen rather than going after the will of God and pursuing what he has to offer. So remember, for all of those who have experience the power of God and want to keep that love and experience fresh and fruitful, and for those, who were like myself once before who lost what that feeling felt like, go after Him for and seek His power and glory. Below I am leaving a few verses that will hopefully enlighten you and motivate you.

“Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.”
---1 Chronicles 16:11

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door

will be opened to you.”
---Matthew 7:7
 
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have
received it, and it will be yours.”
---Mark 11:24


Lord, I thank you for such an amazing encounter in such a desperate time in the students lives this past week, as well as my own Father. God, I pray that You will keep us in the palm of Your hand, keep us thriving for more of You and who You are. Lord, let us pursue with more than just out hearts but with our minds, bodies, souls, and emotions. Thank you for such a momentum changing envisionment You have instilled in me. You have granted me with such an honor with the purpose You've given me.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
