When my soul plunges in to the depths of despair, I THINK OF YOU When I am surrounded by foolishness, I THINK OF YOU When all I can see is the reddened eyes of those who persecute and hate me, I THINK OF YOU When I am tempted to believe all is lost forever and no hope is upon my horizon, I THINK OF YOU Every time I fall, I THINK OF YOU And then, I get up and walk with you. 🔥🔥🔥 Holy Spirit fill our hearts that we may think of you often, Jesus, and all you have endured for us. Strengthen our hearts each day that, in needing little consolation for ourselves, we might learn to console you. When I am tempted to believe my own failures have caused you great harm in your saving work, remind me that little me could never undo what you have already done! #livinglent #stationsofthecross #meditateonHisPassion #GOODFriday #EncounterHim #onTheWay https://www.instagram.com/p/CNLXJjHAWEg/?igshid=9kl2g2fivu0h

There’s a preaching heart out there who needs this reminder. Sometimes people get so focused on condemning sinners they forget to focus at all on loving them like Jesus. Sinners know their sin. Jesus knows their sin. We don’t always need to point out the obvious. Love covers a multitude of sin because it’s focus is on redemption not condemnation. The Holy Spirit convicts us so that he can convince us we are loved. Sinners struggle with worthiness. Lovers focus on identity. Hurt people hurt people. Loved people love people. The prophetic gift is about releasing identity to people in a world where ‘while they were still sinners’ Christ came to love them. We partner with the Holy Spirit when we allow our life of holiness to convince others about what the Holy Spirit is already convicting in them. He convicts to convince. We need more prophetic people willing to lay down their lives to holiness in order to raise up sinners to new levels of conviction by His Spirit. If people aren’t convinced that you love them then all your self-professed convictions are just noise (a clanging cymbal, a gong, a mouthy nonsense). This is why the greatest commission of Jesus Christ is to love one another. By your words of love for them, the world becomes convinced Jesus is the real deal. Inside the heart of every sinner is a longing to be loved and to be known by Love. Instead of pointing people to the obvious, try focusing on helping what is hidden come to light. “And as they listen, their secret thoughts will be exposed, and they will fall to their knees and worship God, declaring, “God is truly here among you.” 1 Corinthians 14:25 #EncounterHim #EncounterSoFLo 🔥 #ComeHolySpirit #SpiritualGifts #ReleaseTheKingdom *INTERESTED IN MORE FULLY UNDERSTANDING THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS!

Favorite pic of the night 😍 Our Adoration Kick-Off for Encounter Ministries South Florida began in the peaceful rest of St. Joseph, who reminds us that all we need to be saints of God is a restful spirit and obedience. Upon waking, he immediately did as the angel of the Lord showed him in his dream. St. Joseph is the model for all men of faith, and the women who long for a safe place to rest, because he demonstrates the life of obedience to the father by protecting the life of the Son, and His mother. He carries the mission of the Son forward for all of us by being content to listen to the Word of the Lord, especially from a place of rest and receptivity. May this year be the year all men return to the goodness and power of fatherhood at rest in obedience to the Son. The Year of St. Joseph will give rise to the Year of the Family. May family life be restored to its holy perfection as we see exampled in the Holy Family. We are all adopted into God’s Holy Family. This should make us all sleep more peacefully. Come, Holy Spirit! 🔥 #EncounterHim #EncounterSoFLo #encountersoflove #encounteringGod #adoration #blessedsacrament #catholicphotography #worshipwhileyoucan #sleepinheavenlypeace https://www.instagram.com/p/CI84Lo5AoVA/?igshid=weu1dz6syvsl

And just like that...the Invisible was made visible, a heavenly language was revealed, and a man gifted by the Holy Spirit with dream interpretation was given access to the kingdoms of men. • While the world ignores reality, remember how Daniel was positioned to live out of it. . If you are a Child of God, when people think of you, may they say, “I have heard that the Spirit of God is in you, that you possess brilliant knowledge and extraordinary wisdom. I have heard that you can interpret dreams and solve difficulties...” . #ComeHolySpirit 🔥 #EncounterHim #EncounterSoFLo https://www.instagram.com/p/CIBfiy6AtSS/?igshid=fteg7yopszuh

“I have found that it takes some time to catch fire in prayer. This has been one of the advantages of the daily Hour. It is not so brief as to prevent the soul from collecting itself and shaking off the multitudinous distractions of the world. Sitting before the Presence is like a body exposing itself before the sun to absorb its rays. Silence in the Hour is a tête-á-tête with the Lord. In those moments, one does not so much pour out written prayers, but listening takes its place. We do not say: "Listen, Lord, for Thy servant speaks," but "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth." Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Treasure in Clay) 🍎 #SaintWisdom #FultonSheen #HolyHour #Adoration #EncounterHim https://www.instagram.com/p/CHssHBEATl9/?igshid=3kgytc5d2opu
