An Encounter

Unbelief involves spiritual blindness, and a determined resistance toward God. I refuse to be obedient to what God has said. When Paul was persecuting believers, he acted in ignorance and unbelief. Ignorance says, “I cannot understand the truth,” while unbelief says, “I was deeply resistant to the truth.” That was his condition, and the condition of many today. The only cure for it was what happened on the Damascus Road he had an encounter with Jesus & was converted. He discovered Jesus is Lord, and the whole disposition of his soul was changed by the power of the Holy Spirit. He moved from a position of

unbelief to a position of faith.

People must encounter Jesus just as Paul did. In Galatians 2: ²⁰ It says I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. If Christ lives on the inside of you ppl should have an encounter with Christ when they encounter you. A seed should be planted or watered within them

by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Who do others encounter when they encounter you? "The "works of the flesh" things like sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery(corruption & sin), idolatry(extreme admiration, love, or reverence for something or someone other than God), witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions (disagreement and division within a group), envy, drunkenness, orgies. Or do they encounter fruits of the spirit? Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. It is with love and kindness have I drawn thee.
