encounter . . .

James 1:5 “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”

Beloved,

There is a pain in your neck. You reach up to rub it, wondering where did that come from. As you massage it, you are reminded of God who always desires to heal. You partner with Him in that moment, speaking good health over your neck and body. In a moment, an anointing flows from the top of your head and down over your body. It is your understanding, believing what you do not see, breaks the hold on your neck and the pain drifts away. It makes sense in the Kingdom of God, these individual heaven moments, where Jesus meets you where you are. Hunger is inspired by this encounter, and you want more.

Your heart speaks to you, saying, “What about that one up ahead?”

A young lady is there on your right as you walk down the sidewalk. She is coming your way, and she limps slightly, hardly detectable. Your smile causes a quick look, and you see an opportunity to speak. You ask about her back or hip, using God’s word of knowledge, and she stops.

You take the opportunity to say, “May I pray for your hip?”

God, living inside of you sees through your eyes looking for the cause and uses you to speak truth and healing into her life. When it is all over, the young lady is walking down the sidewalk with no noticeable limp. This person you just prayed for, wonders why God would take notice of her situation and she feels the master’s love in a place where there was none before.

And all you did was ask.

And He provided everything necessary, for your healing and hers. This was a God encounter of the best kind, using what Jesus accomplished on the Cross and your belief in the unseen (faith).
