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 saw water flowing out from beneath the threshold of the temple...; the water flowed down from the southern side of the temple, south of the altar. He led me outside by the north gate, and around to the outer gate facing the east, where I saw water trickling from the southern side. He said to me, “This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah, and empties into the sea, the salt waters, WHICH IT MAKES FRESH. 🔥{Wherever the river flows}🔥, EVERY sort of living creature that CAN multiply SHALL live, and there shall be abundant fish, for 🔥{wherever this water comes}🔥the sea SHALL BE MADE FRESH. Along BOTH banks of the river, fruit trees of every kind SHALL grow; their leaves SHALL NOT fade, nor their fruit fail. 🔥{EVERY MONTH they shall bear fresh fruit, for they SHALL be watered by the flow from the sanctuary.}🔥 Their fruit shall serve for food, and their leaves for medicine. - Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9, 12 “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. By this he meant the Spirit...” John 7:38-39 //Do You Believe?// 🔥🔥🔥 #EncounterSoFlo #ReadThatAgain #letitsinkin #ponderworthy #NotLukewarm #comeholyspirit 🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHXId60ApcT/?igshid=1t8rxl0xtsp5m
