We can encourage others to go to church, read their bible and to say a prayer. We ourselves do the same, and for this reason we automatically assume it make us faithful, spiritual and very religious, knowing all that there is to know about God. And today’s world, you can now get a Doctorate degrees, a title that enable you to be looked upon as all knowledgeable to the things pertaining to the almighty. But yet still many of us pursue our interests to drawing near to the almighty has never had an encounter with him. Seems the closest to ever get an encounter with God is through the pages of a book and the lectures and teachings of someone on a stage or in a classroom.

It take a lot to have the kind of faith to believe in something you can see. For some of us, faith is like a young child believing in Santa Claus to come down the chimney on Christmas bringing all the gifts wished for, the kind of faith that never waivers.

There is two encounters in the bible to me has proven strongly that an encounter with the Lord changes everything. 1. The story of Moses and the burn bush, Exodus 3 Moses was given wisdom, knowledge, and understanding by God to deliver His people out of slavery from the Egyptians. 2. Saul who became Paul after fell off his donkey on the road to Damascus to persecute Christians by a blinding light and hearing the voice of Jesus, Act 9.

When you encounter the Lord it changes your perspective on everything about life. You tap into the realm of endless possibility. You become a walking miracle, filled with the grace of God. You are more educated than years of studying and a title on a degree can give.
