The Encounter Weekends
What is an Encounter Weekend?
An Encounter consists of short messages that are designed to set you free from habits, wrong thoughts and past mistakes. God's objective is to transform you into the likeness of His son Christ Jesus.
The Encounter
Before the Encounter, the participant's house church and family members are encouraged to pray and fast for those going. This is so they can have a remarkable encounter with God. The Encounter should be an important time in the life of the participant. A time that will be remembered as a genuine encounter with the living God! The purpose of the Encounter is for the individual to undergo a transformation that will give birth to the character of Christ. We need a genuine Encounter with God in order to bring about a total transformation in our lives. It is also an Encounter with yourself, when you look inside your life to see the changes that God wants you to make. Finally, the Encounter will take you into the depth of the church vision, making you reflect on the actual situation of the world and its desperate need of the Savior.
Some of the issues and subjects covered in the Encounter are:
- Repentance and Forgiveness
- Ancestral Curses and Iniquities
- Sexual Purity
- The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
- The Vision
Who should go to the Encounter?
They are for every believer. If we have unresolved issues in their lives, we will carry the burden of these issues and live a defeated Christian life. As we move into God's vision for our lives, it's important that every member goes through the entire process, so they can effectively carry out that vision.
