God Encounters
The first miracle Jesus did:
"On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him." (John 2:1-11 ESV)
Jesus didn't come there planning to do a miracle, he even said to his mother what does that have to do with me. Often times we are waiting for God to do something but sometimes God is waiting on you to come to him. Like his mother, she moved the hand of God.
"Draw nearer to God & he will draw nearer to you", Keep knocking, keep asking, keep seeking. It wasn't just her who activated the miracle, there were servants who put it in place. It took obedience on the servants part as well to activate the hand of God. His mom started the process & got the ball rolling & then said do whatever he tells you to do.
To have a God encounter you have to walk in obedience & do whatever he tells you to do.
Most people are all in, once they know what they are getting all into. Jesus requires us to be all in without even knowing what's next. obedience! Don't try to figure out why or interpret, God speaks many languages & he's made many promises. We dont know what the end is going to look like but when we walk in faith supernatural things begin to take place. No matter what it looks like over here in my eyes, I dont know when it changed but somewhere from point "A" & point "B" it was wine! The miracle is never our responsibility. It's just our responsibility to walk in obedience.
God wants to take us & pour in his spirit just like those jars & something supernatural begins to take place.
God's ways are not our ways, So when it looks like water just keep walking & watch & see what God does!
