I had an encounter with God where He showed me that He has loved me through all the hard things in my life. That I am not alone. He told me that he is the solution to all my problems and he has been watching over me this whole time. It was a powerful encounter where I was crying out about some hard circumstances and thanking him then these words starting coming out talking about him being the solution. It felt Holy Spirit driven and not something I thought up or came to on my own. God was clearly telling me that He has been faithful and reminding me He will be faithful in my current circumstances.

I had an encounter with God in worship at World Mandate where He reminded me of the depth of His love for me - that I didn’t have to strive to earn it and that His love is not based on anything I can or cannot do. In such a tender and personal way, He touched my heart and revealed His love to me more deeply than ever before and I saw His love for me in a completely new way!

I had an encounter with God where he gave me a word that our church worships in the “Natural State”. Hearts and minds fully bowed low in surrender, yielded to the Spirit, releasing pure and precious worship.

I had an encounter with God where I recognized how real His presence is and how worthy He is of honor. I found myself in desperate need of Him and with a yearning that wouldn’t go away. In that moment He comforted me through worship and calmed my heart and I knew He was near.

I had an encounter with God at World Mandate, where He comforted my heart and reminded me that I am His beloved daughter. I cried, and I felt His love and comfort as I processed the death of a dream. He gave my husband and me a word picture for our present; that He is planting and rooting us where He has so that we would produce fruit for His kingdom.

I had an encounter with God at a worship night at our church, where He showed me how worship is warfare, and the things you declare with your mouth hold power and moves things in the spirit and in your heart.

I had an encounter with God one time in worship in June of 2024. I had been struggling with feeling alone as I had to stay in America during the summer after my freshman year and had not seen my family in over a year. I came to church that Sunday honestly not expecting a lot, but walking in to the building I was immediately welcomed in. Worship began and I dropped to my knees and started praying, reciting scripture, and just asking God to come and comfort me. I started to feel almost compelled to open my mouth and as I did I began to involuntarily speak in tongues. God truly met me in a very difficult time and gave me a lot of encouragement in a time where I felt isolated.
