How Can I Have A Personal Encounter With God?

HOW CAN I HAVE A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER WITH GOD? IS IT POSSIBLE TO ENCOUNTER GOD?

By: Gladys Raquel Hernández

God has got plans and purposes for each person living in this planet, provided we open our sincere hearts to Him and provided we give God the right place to enter and live into us forever.
“Listen, I am standing and knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will eat together”. (Revelation 3:20)

“If I put a glass on the table and I try to pour out some liquid into it, but you cover the glass with your hand, the liquid will spill and it will not enter the glass. Instead, if you do not block the way, the liquid will fill the glass. The liquid would be the Lord, Jesus, who intends to enter your heart and the glass would be your heart which opens to gives Him place into your life”.

“If I attend the best odontological center in which there are several diplomas on the wall, the best armchair, instruments and the best professional, but I sit down and refuse to open my mouth to be examined, the odontologist will neither press nor compel me to do anything I just do not want to do. Likewise, the Holy Spirit of God will not compel me to do anything either if I do not want or refuse to, or if I am not prepared to let Him start treating with my life”.

I may have personal encounters with Jesus Christ, if I surrender to Him entirely and if I render my sincere heart to Him. Jesus is the Son of the living God, who is exactly like God, who cannot be seen. He is the first-born Son, superior to all creation (Colossians 1:15).

Jesus said:

“If you have seen me, you have seen the Father”. (John 14:9)
“And I am one with the Father”. (John 10:30)

There are multiple ways to encounter Jesus as there are multiple human beings all round the world. God chooses the right way to relate with every one of us to start treating with our lives, due to His eternal and unconditional love and grace towards the human race. (Jeremiah 31:3)

God´s love towards us is eternal, perfect, genuine, good, benign, benevolent, sacrificed, inconmensurable and disinterested (Galatians 5:22 - Philippians 2:8). Therefore, He will always insist and knock at our hearts´s door until we answer. God demands spiritual growth on the part of us so that we can transmit it to other people with the sole purpose of spreading out His kingdom all round the world.

“Each of you has been blessed with one of God´s many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others”. So use your gift well”. (1º Peter 4:10)

Therefore, we should be on the alert and attentive to God´s call. He is going to manifest Himself to each person in some special way at any time of his life. Each person will perceive God´s call and will receive revelation and understanding on the part of his Creator if he has a well-disposed and humble heart, if he leaves conceit and pride aside and if he surrenders completely to Him.

AMEN!!!
