spiritual encounter was a new beginning for me i would say. i was drained from all the uni and things of this world so easily, and just being at the encounter totally renewed me and refreshed, and brought me back to the right perspective of looking at life. Although ive been to quite a few spiritual encounters, this one as usual seemed totally different to the others, and what spoke to me in this spiritual encounter was also different from the others. One thing that always gets me after the spiritual encounter is always the weight and depth that sin carries along with it, and especially watching the passion of the Christ video again, it made me realise yet again that it was OUR sins that pinned Christ on that cross.. taught me to hate sin and see how deadly it was.. with sin in our lives, we are considered as dead in God's eyes.
Another thing that really spoke to me was the verse which said that if we are friends of this world, we are enemies of God(can't really remember the ref.) And i found this to be more of an eye opener, something new that i've never heard of before. This made me think a lot on how i lived my life, and my thoughts of just being friends with everyone was gonna be ok. This made me realise that i had to take a firm stand on one side, and that sitting on the fence between both sides won't do me any good at all.. However a lot of the things that i do, is based out of habit that i have gotten over the years of growing up in the 'world', and many times i don't even know that what i am doing is wrong! Its scary how ignorance doesn't pardon you from sin, just because you don't know it doesn't make you safe! it is our job after all to study the Word which was given to us.
During this spiritual encounter i also received a word from God from one of the pastors when i was up on one of the alter calls.. and the word that was given to me wasn't really much of a surprise or a shock to me because it was something that has been said to me before.. and maybe even more than once. it was something along the lines of me stepping out of my shadow. and when i asked for the explanation, it simply meant for me to be bold and to make noticed by other people, like by putting myself out there.. For me i wouldn't say this was something new, but what im not too sure about is what i have do after receiving this word. im still totally clueless, and also partly because i don't see the point of me making myself to be noticed by others.. boldness in what sense??
