Doug Addison: "Power
Encounters with God Are Actually Easy"
 When
we talk about power encounters as a means of reaching people with God's love,
many different ideas may run through our heads. Most people don't see themselves
as being equipped to have power encounters and may leave this to the more highly
gifted. I would like to enlighten you to several ways that most any
spirit-filled Christian can engage in a positive power encounter.
The Power of Presence
Power encounters occur when Jesus'
followers bring God's power and presence through the Holy Spirit to a person who
does not believe or is trapped in darkness by evil forces. There is power in
simply bringing the presence of God inside us, in contact with those whom God is
drawing to Himself.
In 1 John 1:5, John writes that the message
he heard from Jesus and now declares is, "God is
Light." Light speaks of the power and life of God's nature. In
John 8:12, Jesus states that He is the Light
of the world, and the verse finishes by saying that when we follow Him, we will
have light as well.
God's presence in us is like a light that shines and distinguishes us from those
who do not have this light. We are told to "live as
children of light" (Ephesians 5:8). The greater the light and
presence of God we release, the more the darkness will be overcome around us.
We are finding that when we
intentionally allow the presence of the Holy Spirit to be released through us to
touch others, people are drawn and they experience a peace they have not
experienced elsewhere. I call this the gift of showing up!
The Power of Jesus' Name
Most Christians are familiar with the fact
that Jesus delegated His authority to us and gave us the power of His name. Take
note in the following verses to the things that we have been given power to do
in the name of Jesus: Matthew 10:7-8, Mark 16:17-18,
Luke 9:1-2, and John 14:11-13.
Simply utilizing our God-given authority can dispel darkness and bring the
Kingdom of God to earth.
The Power of Process
Oftentimes, we miss the fact that people
tend to come to Jesus through a process of circumstances and events. Once we
allow Christ to enter our lives and begin to change us, we must go through
another process to grow into spiritual maturity. We must deal with
issues--opinions, judgments, and wrong beliefs that hinder the presence of God
from being released through us.
As we mature, we will grow in faith and in our understanding of the authority
God has given us to do the greater works Jesus spoke about. God has patience for
this process and will help you as you grow. A great place to start in dealing
with this in our own lives is to pray and consider. Ask God to show you a
specific course of action that would either allow Him to flow more easily
through you, or increase your faith to see miracles.
The Power of Love
We all can demonstrate the power of love.
The Bible makes it clear that our enemies are in the spiritual realm and are not
the people we are trying to reach (Ephesians 6:12).
When we take God's light into spiritually dark places, we are finding that it is
best not to pray against the people trapped in darkness, such as psychics.
Instead, ask God to bless them and reveal His glory and light to each
individual.
We need to learn to act the opposite of satan and his powers of darkness.
The Bible describes the enemy as a thief who steals and destroys. Acting
opposite would allow us to give freely and bring God's justice. We can pray that
God's glory and light and presence be increased. Then darkness is revealed and
loses its hold. It is also important to recognize that we ourselves are then
protected in that light (1 John 4:4).
A great way to respond to this is to write a simple prayer of blessing you could
speak over the places you go. If you have someone specific in mind, write it for
him or her.
God wants us to bring His power, love, light, and presence everywhere we go. As
we do this, thousands of people will be drawn to Jesus. People are looking for
something real.
By simply being ourselves, we can be
very effective in sharing God's love.

 "Prophetic Evangelism Workshop"
by Doug Addison
$50.00
3 DVD Set
It's not hard to notice a new spiritual hunger in people. Everywhere people are longing for a deeper spiritual connection, yet many traditional methods of sharing God's love are received as a turn-off. Imagine the possibility--if we could hear and speak what is on God's heart for individuals as we go about our day. We are finding that people are really open to hearing from God. This
Prophetic Evangelism Workshop will help you learn to hear God for others, and communicate it in a way that can be understood by those without a religious background.
 Have you ever noticed in those amazing accounts in the Gospels how Jesus evangelized? He gave words of knowledge (Nathanael--I saw you under the fig tree). He healed the sick, He prophesied destiny, He knew people's minds and hearts--and
they KNEW He knew...and the results were dramatic--God was real and involved and cared about them. Now that's prophetic evangelism! This awesome resource by Doug Addison will help equip you to be able to hear God for others, and communicate it in a way that can be understood by those without a religious background.
