Divine Encounters: Your Invitation to Experience the Life-Changing Presence of God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780768478327)

Just One Encounter Will Redefine and Redirect Your Life

Do you find yourself longing for a word or touch from God? For a moment of clarity in His presence? Do you wonder why the stories of divine encounters you read in the Bible don't happen in today's world?

In the age of information and man-made wonders, we've replaced a vibrant relationship with God with a stale religion about God. We've disconnected from His Presence--and our lives show it.

Revealing not only how believers are called to divine encounters but also how we are created for them, bestselling authors and internationally respected pastors Paul Manwaring and Bill Johnson of Bethel Church point the way back to experiencing God, showing how true encounter is at the heart of the Christian faith--and how you can live a lifestyle marked, and supernaturally shaped, by God's presence.

Through biblically-grounded teaching, Spirit-inspired wisdom, and uplifting encouragement, this modern-day classic helps you recapture the passion and power of the early church, empowering you to:

• Cultivate a vibrant relationship with the very real Person of God.
• Position yourself to experience true encounters with the Holy Spirit.
• Discern when these powerful moments are occurring.
• Discover the purpose each encounter plays in your life.
• Recognize encounters as signs of confirmation.
• Turn your Bible reading into personal experience.
• Fill your heart with divine delight in the Person of the Holy Spirit.

Leave behind the stagnant religion of this age and run with reckless abandon back to the One who transforms you with His presence and then transforms the world through you.
