Out with the old, in with the new!

Encounters, Encounters, Encounters, Encounters, Encounters.

This is what the Lord is saying to prepare for. He is calling His people to a deeper place in Him. I saw answers to many questions in this place of depth.

Old or prior words isn't the focus. Prior encounters or experiences are not a point of reference in this place of new. It cannot be depended on.

Yet, in the goodness of God, this new transformative place and experience in Him will answer all things, including the old (requests or questions). Dive deeper. Go in God.

"Answers all things" I hear repeated. In this place, questions will be answered and revelation & more granted. It will be evident you've been with God.

Encounters are marked with evidence.

*Read about Biblical Encounters with the following: Adam & Eve; Moses; Elijah; David; Isaiah; Saul to Paul; Mary

It will not look like what you knew as a past experience or what your friend is doing. It's personal. Just the two of you. Intimate place.

*The unseen. Being inundated with what we see as the truth...sensory experience. God lives in the unseen.

“For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory.

So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭CSB‬‬

I Corinthians‬ ‭2:9‭-‬10‬ ‭NKJV‬

[9] But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered

into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” [10] But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

Jeremiah‬ ‭33:3‬ ‭NKJV‬

[3] ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

Challenge: We are 61 days until 2024 as of today. For the month of November &/or next 21 days, expect an encounter from God. How?

1. Allow God to take center stage. Surrender...release* Whatever that looks like for you. Don't check on it, talk about it, look back...let God be God.

2. Rest. Encourage yourself in the Lord. Look over your life and pick out the: I know this is/was God and thank Him for it.

3. Abba Father time. Be led by His Spirit. Whatever He wants to do, do it...say it.

*Eliminate distractions. Be holy for God is holy. Light and darkness doesn't dwell together.

*Dedicate time just for you two.

*Wait...be silent.
