5 MONTH GLORY ENCOUNTER

In 1992 I had a 5 month encounter with the Lord.  At that time I had been a Christian for 10 years already, that was not walking with the Lord at all.  Actually I lived just like a heathen (unbeliever), mind you, I was already baptized with the Holy Spirit and spoke in a spiritual tongue.

Then I made a deal with the Lord and He came through with His side of the deal...He then asked me to follow Him.... at that time I did not understand what that meant.  So I got out my brand new Bible that was on my shelf covered with dust and I dusted off.  I never had to dust off my Bible since... praise the Lord.

After 2 weeks of intense Bible reading... every night from 7:00PM till 2:00AM... I would dose off to sleep.  Immediately I (my spirit) would be taken to this white bright place (as I called it then). At this place I was with the Holy Spirit of God.  He looked like Jesus in a 'Cloudy Spirit' way. But I called Him, Holy Spirit. Yet, I knew He was one with Jesus and the Father God.

This went on for 5 whole months... He was teaching me 'The Word of God.'

During these 5 months I experienced the Glory/ Presence and Anointing of God covering me 24 hours a day surrounding my being about an arms reach in diameter.  I knew this because anything that came into that circumference  would immediately react... whether it be good or bad.

It was my own mistake that the encounter stopped after 5 months.  Why did it stop?  My eyes was taken off of Jesus. What do I mean by this?  Well when there is that much glory in our lives we recognize the 'things of the spirit realm' easily.  I started to see every demonic spirit that was on people and I began to criticize people in my thoughts. For example: 'Oh this person has that demon, or that person had this demon.'

This immediately put a FULL STOP to the glorious encounter.  There is a lesson to be learned here.

1. Never focus on the Demonic Forces, but focus on Jesus 'Who Can Deliver those in Bondage to these spirits!'  He came to destroy the works of the devil.

               1 John 3:8  He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning.  For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

2. Focus on the Lord and Him alone.  Never look unto man or anything else.  When we are His, He will take care of everything.

God bless all who read this and understands.  He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying.

Love you all.
