Ok so I was reading my bible today and I came across some things and so I looked into them and wanted to post them so I could see what everyone thought. We hear about people in the bible being snatched up into heaven but what about God snatching someone or something and moving them somewhere else?

Well here are two verses that could point to God doing such a thing:

Acts 8:38-40(NLT)

38 He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.39
When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched
Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again but went on his way
rejoicing. 40 Meanwhile,
Philip found himself farther north at the town of Azotus. He preached
the Good News there and in every town along the way until he came to
Caesarea.

So we see in this case that God snatched Philip away to another city and Philip started preaching and sharing God when he got there.

Here’s case two that I found

John 6:16-21(NLT)

16 That evening Jesus’ disciples went down to the shore to wait for him. 17 But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn’t come back, they got into the boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum. 18 Soon a gale swept down upon them, and the sea grew very rough. 19 They had rowed three or four miles^[a] when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified, 20 but he called out to them, “Don’t be afraid. I am here!^[b]” 21 Then they were eager to let him in the boat, and immediately they arrived at their destination!

So we see that in this case were it could have happened again.

So my question is what do you think?
Do you think this is possible that it happened and if it happened then can it still happen now?
Do you know any cases or stories were God has done this in your life or someone else’s?

Now Go Comment!

Wow it’s crazy to think that today is the day I first started Jesus Encounter last year in 2007. I had just gotten back from a conference from Redding and I wanted to share what God did in me. So Jesus Encounter was birthed right there.

Were Jesus Encounter has come this year:

Well Jesus Encounter started last year on a wordpress.com blog. I learned alot and I mean alot. Besides learning the basis of blogging and working on getting traffic I learned some other things.

I’ve learned to study my word better so that I can better understand scripture when it is used.
I’ve learned how to write better, which is totally a God thing cause I got a few F’s in high school with English and Grammar it was never my strong point.
I’ve learned stuff about that I wouldn’t have learned anyway else, like writing a broad range of things to help every body who reads, being open and respectfully helping people with their questions, and I’ve made alot of great friends through having this blog that all have been a huge blessing.

Well in about Febuary of this year I had been praying to God that I would be able to move my blog to my own website so I could run everything. I didn’t have the funds so I wrote about it on my blog and asked people to pray with me. Well two to three days later a reader donated the money to kick Jesus Encounter to the next step.

So for the last six months Jesus Encounter has already had twice as many almost three times as many views as it did in the first six months.

At times I’ve gotten frustrated with remembering to blog but then I start writing and it’s been such an amazing blessing and encouragement.

I love it cause in this time in my life and trying to figure life out, I’ve been able to listen to God and just share with people. Which has been another learning experience cause I’ve learned stuff that would take awhile of being a pastor to learn. So I’m already starting to learn some stuff.

Prophecy coming true:

One thing I thought about this past week that I had totally forgotten. Back in about ‘98 or ‘99 maybe a few years after I can’t really recall, I was at a revival meeting at our church with Jerry Gafney and he prophesied over me that I would write many scrolls(I would write down what God has shared and spoken to and over me). Well I had forgotten about that tell this week, and I can say it’s so cool looking back and seeing that it has worked out into my life.

So it proves that when someone prophesies it doesn’t always mean right away.

Well it’s been a year and I’m stoked for the next year as long as I can keep Jesus Encounter going. So I hope you all have enjoyed Jesus Encounter as much as I have writing on it and I hope you and more readers come to enjoy it even more.
