    Jacob wrestled all night with God and wouldn’t let Him go. Because of Jacob’s tenacity, God blessed him and changed his name to Israel, i.e., a Prince with God.

    A. INTRODUCTION: GENESIS 32:22-32 What an encounter is not. 1. Not a greeting, i.e., when we talk to God. 2. Not a thought, i.e., when we meditate on God. 3. Not a meeting, i.e., our scheduled communion. 4. Not incidental, i.e., something we do every day. 5. Not an answer to prayer. B. WHAT ...read more

    Who Is God?

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,089 views

    Like many people in this day, Moses knew about God, but Moses didn't know God until he encountered God. Each of us who are twice born will have had an encounter with the Lord God. Until then, He is but a rumor.

    “Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush ...read more

    Nebuchadnezzar's Testimony Meeting

    Contributed by David Wilson on Sep 16, 2015
     | 7,568 views

    Nebuchadnezzar has a powerful encounter with God and responds with praise! One of the reasons our testimony meetings in churches are so blah is because our people are not encountering God as they should be!

    Nebuchadnezzar’s Testimony Daniel 4 GOD IS IN CHARGE AND HOLDS AUTHORITY OVER ALL! When we speak of the sovereignty of God we should be humbled—remembering that He is in charge and we are not. Speaking of the sovereignty of God can bring great confusion, for if God is really in charge ...read more
