ENCOUNTER SCHOOL UPDATES
Welcome aboard to all our new Encounter students and welcome back to our returning Year 2 students! You've enrolled in the adventure of allowing the Presence of God to produce in you a supernatural lifestyle where 'signs and wonders' become a part of your everyday living.
The Encounter school positions you to receive, carry and release the Presence of God into peoples lives. You will begin to live as a 'gate of heaven' where the Presence of God is released into the very atmospheres and environments where you live and do life. God only needs a moment! In just a moment of worship He can touch you and everything will change! As you become more vulnerable and sensitive to the His Presence during worship, as you take more risks and learn to follow His Presence, then you will watch His Presence transform one soul at a time! Are you ready?

The fragrant aroma of the Presence of God will only saturate and transform you and others within our school and beyond when you allow your personal offering of worship to be costly. This is why we value our school worship time (5:20-6:20pm) as the pearl of great price.
I pray that our school worship time doesn't become optional for you. I pray that your offering of worship to God is sacrificial and costly. I pray that you choose to make our school worship time an offering of your love for Him. I pray that you come into the classroom each week bowing down to worship Him by breaking open your alabaster jars. I pray that you allow God to spill out the costly perfume of His Love during our worship time together.
When our offering of worship isn't sacrificial then the teaching portion of the Encounter school become a lot like reading and memorizing a love story without ever really experiencing your own love story. Do you want to experience your own personal love story? Then you must chose to worship, worship, worship...
The teaching portion of our Encounter school will only help you to understand the experiences of the Presence of God that happen to you during your worship time! The fragrant aroma of His Presence will only fill the room when you choose to break open the alabaster jar of your heart. What does this mean? It means that we bow down low and turn our affections to Him. Our personal offering of worship should be sacrificial and this is at the heart of having a fruitful Encounter school experience.
The entire Encounter School is about learning to host (receive and release) the Presence of God and the Presence of God is only experienced in a people who chose to make an offering of worship that is costly.
Knowing and experiencing His Presence cannot happen in a soul that doesn’t value or make an offering of worship. Worship happens when we humbly bow down and pour out our affection at His feet! Worship allows you to enter into and receive His transforming Presence. When you worship Him then you will receive His Presence. Then, you will carry His Presence and you’ll be capable of releasing His Presence to others!
True worship happens in the soul who is convinced that worship isn't optional. True worship is the oxygen that keeps your soul in 'The Presence'. Worshippers know that they can do absolutely nothing without the Presence! Worshippers know that they will spiritually die without entering the Presence through frequent worship! Worshippers know that their identity grows weak without worship! Worshippers know head knowledge apart from worship only leads to being puffed up.
Knowing the Presence of God isn't taught through bible studies. Knowing the Presence of God isn't earned through spiritual books. The Presence of God is caught through our choice to make a costly, sacrificial, humble offerings of worship to God.
We value our worship time (5:20-6:20pm) as the heart of our Encounter school. God wants to transform us but only when we learn to value true worship do we allow for the empowerment and transformation to happen to us. It happens to us NOT because of us!
Most students come to the Encounter school expecting to learn how to... This is NOT primarily a kind of ‘how to’ school. Your posture and participation in worship during our worship time (5:20-6:20pm) is the pearl of great price. True worship is the hidden treasure that allows you to receive the most out of your Encounter school experience.
We can't stress enough that you open yourself to learning to truly value our school worship time (5:20-6:20pm) as the heart of your Encounter School participation!
The whole point of the Encounter School is to position you to allow God to activate your soul to be Ablaze with a sacrifice of praise! God wants to activate your priestly identity to lead people into making their own sacrifice of worship to God. Your sacrifice of worship leads you into your own personal Song of Songs love story! God is raising up worshippers who will release his healing presence into the atmosphere and environments of their everyday living.
At Ablaze House of Prayer, it is our dream that every Encounter student will experience themselves as a house of prayer that burns day and night before throne of God!

Be Intentional Ministers of the Word:
Be Intentional about leading people to respond to the Gospel. Many of us pray with people but do we ask people to respond? Ask God to show those you pray with his presence, then ask them to respond to the more God has for them.
Inviting people to our Ablaze Events is a great way to bridge people into God's arms of love. Don't forget someone invited you and now its your turn be be God's invitation to others.
