Why Encountering God May Be Different Than You Expected With Hayley Braun | Kris Vallotton

Why Encountering God May Be Different Than You Expected With Hayley Braun | Kris Vallotton
This past week I sat down for a conversation with Hayley Braun to discuss encountering God. Hayley is a Senior Leader at Bethel Church and Associate Overseer of BSSM Online. She has a powerful testimony of encountering God that I felt led to share with you.
Has your heart longed for an encounter; a moment where God walks on the scene and radically changes everything? We hear the terms “God encounters” or “encountering the Holy Spirit” often in our environment - they have been a part of the Bethel culture from the start.
The word encounter has been a word used to try to explain the experience we have as believers when the Holy Spirit touches us and impacts our lives. But, I want to challenge you, have encounters become glorified moments and grand monuments in our lives? Have we limited encountering God to a physical manifestation and ignored the work He has done on the inside?
The danger with the word encounter occurs when we ascribe it to one kind of event - when we limit the power of God to our personal history and our own preferred understanding. When we trap the power of God in our preferred comfortability and popular conformity we forget we serve a God far larger than the encounters we see happen in sanctuary on Sundays.
God is eager to encounter you! You were made for His Presence. In this week’s blog I share how encountering God may be different than you expect and how God encounters transform our life. www.krisvallotton.com/why-enc...

    I was moved to tears as you prayed. I felt the Holy Spirit move and speak into places that have been heavy on my heart and mind as a parent. Its a reassurance he’s in control and what’s going on is not a result of my failure as a parent.

    Oh my gosh.

Hope to share soon xo Sometimes what we perceive to be warfare may actually be a wrestling- as my friend Shara said hours ago- hunger increases for things we need- so a wrestling produces a capacity to feed

    I've been struggling with depression, fear and shame. Lots of shame that made me feel that I can't come into the presence of God, I am not worthy and God doesn't want me, my community doesn't want me. But I felt the presence of God came when you moved into prayer, and that assurance and comfort came, something I haven't felt for a very long time. Thank you.

    I know my Christian relationship mentor recommended you in his course. It is really great watching you! We do agreements which are lies on one side that are triggered by anxiety, fear, or anger usually and truth on the other side speaking to a person's identity. I feel like GOD has been speaking to me a lot propethically these last 3 years. I think I would like to come to your fall event because I'm having repeated dreams about using the propethic.

That hit me during prayer with example of if a butterfly is helped out or cut out of its cocoon ' it wont fly' So for me not staying in a place that He has called me out of ' is freeing' even though it looks alittle scaryee to not know 100% what it will look like to be on my own in buisiness ' I have to tryst HIM in the leading of it all' i want to trust HIM ' and I do trust HIM....thanks Kris & Hayley

Did some resubmit or and one of the things that struck me was it gets hit by lightening 300 times a year! She has one foot in chains and one stepping forward as she represents freedom from slavery ...not surprising given who designed her. Lots more interesting facts but pretty powerful to have God describe you t his way.

    Id like to know why God doesn't come down and meet with me. I'm glad for everyone else that has had a "meeting" with him, but for real...why doesn't God quit goofing around and show himself to those of us that will never "just believe". I can't believe in things unless I can verify their existence, and God's existence can't be verified. I suffered from some sort of "breakdown" or something and God hasn't done a dang thing to help me, although others in my life would say othrrwise. I've been searching high and low desperately and none of this stuff makes any sense, and all these encounters that people always talk about can be interpreted 6 different ways. To people like me, logic rules all. When logic and numbers say it's one thing, but the people in your life that are notorious for basing everything on emotion and "how they feel" about something say it's God re-working my mind, what do you do? Do you go with someone else's "feelings" (the flip of a coin), or do you go with logic (cold hard fact)?? If God can do anything...then He could do something to convince me (and others like me) that He is real. Period. All I want is to meet with the almighty God, but no matter what I've tried in the past 20 years has worked. I'm honestly sick of all this crap. I think I'm done with the idea of God.
