Episode 165: Who Initiates Heavenly Encounters and who initiates IN them?

WHY IS THIS TOPIC/SUBJECT RELEVANT?1. Because of a lot of Christian practices today2. Because heavenly encounters are increasing and will continue to increase in the days to come3. Because we need to understand God's role and our role in such encounters4. Because we need to know how to stay safe and be protected5. Because we need to be Biblically groundedThis podcast looks carefully at several angelic visitations - we look at what the people were doing, how they were living, and the nature of the visitations. Who initiated? Who addresses the other first? Who gives the instructions? Who obeys? In this podcast- We look at Daniel's encounter.- We look at Zechariah's encounter.- We look at Mary's encounter.- We look at all of the Apostle John's encounters in Revelation- We look at Cornelius' encounter.- We look at Peter's encounter- We look at one of Paul's encountersSUMMARYWe find the same pattern with Daniel, Zechariah, Mary, Cornelius, Peter, Paul and John* Heaven initiates heavenly encounters* Heaven initiates IN those encounters* We respond to heaven’s initiation*We can position ourselves by living godly lives, lives of prayer and fasting*We do not command angels! How/when do we interact with them?*We ASK GOD … we TALK to Him - For our own protection & the angels? *We deal RUTHLESSLY with envy & jealousy of those who have 'seer' gifts we do not.*Remember: God has covered many of us in our foolishness Let’s REPENT tonight if we have tried to initiate encounters or have done any of these practices. If we have envied others.
