Encounter http://themoreofgod.org A safe place to explore The More Tue, 14 Aug 2018 06:01:26 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5 142912744 Encounter: Joanna Watson http://themoreofgod.org/encounter-joanna/ Mon, 30 Apr 2018 02:39:01 +0000 http://themoreofgod.org/?p=313 Read more…]]> Joanna was immersed in church life since birth, but growing up, her relationship with God seemed different than what many of her friends described. The desire to figure this out led Joanna into uncomfortable experiences that offended her mind, but her spirit kept drawing her back to these places where the power and freedom of God was being expressed. Joanna shares her story of how God has now brought her full circle as a worship leader at the same church she angrily stormed out of many years ago.

]]> 313 Encounter: Muriel Burk http://themoreofgod.org/encounter-muriel/ Mon, 23 Apr 2018 02:35:04 +0000 http://themoreofgod.org/?p=294 Read more…]]> Muriel jumped head first into the Pentecostal life at a young 9 years old after her parents encountered the Holy Spirit. She grew up thinking this exciting atmosphere of healing, deliverance and the presence of God was “the better way” of Christianity. But when she got to college and stepped outside her Pentecostal bubble, Muriel began to realize many of the non-Pentecostal Christians she met seemed to have a more Christ-like character than she did. Muriel shares her story of how God has since been recalibrating her faith to include not just the gifts but also the fruit of the Spirit, and ends with a powerful apology to anyone who has ever been made to feel “less than” by misguided or excited, yet insensitive Pentecostals. The truth is that ALL are invited into The More of God.

]]> 294 Encounter: Marc & Jessica Snyder http://themoreofgod.org/marcjessica/ Mon, 16 Apr 2018 01:09:39 +0000 http://themoreofgod.org/?p=285 Read more…]]> Marc and Jess were born into Christian families and saved at a young age, but as they got older and life’s challenges intensified, they knew there had to be something more to God than just going to church and reading their Bibles. With no understanding of what they were looking for and very few like-minded believers around to encourage them, they began to “follow the breadcrumbs” the best they knew how. Their story is proof that those who seek Him WILL find Him.

God is so effective at wooing us into the more, but what happens when spouses respond unequally to His call? Michael and Jessica Pope share their story of how an initial disparity in their beliefs caused tension in their marriage and how the Holy Spirit reunited them with a revelation of His love and power.

]]> 282 Encounter: Neal Leazer http://themoreofgod.org/neal/ Mon, 02 Apr 2018 11:55:41 +0000 http://themoreofgod.org/?p=273 Read more…]]> Raised in a church with great love for the Bible but not much discussion about the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Neal wasn’t quite sure how to process his powerful introduction to the more of God. Eleven years later, he tells the story of the night he was baptized in the Holy Spirit while his wife was miraculously healed. His website, Born of Spirit, is an amazing resource for anyone searching for more.
