Seriously I agree with you! How can you have a real encounter with God like that and NOT want to be back in His face? I just don't get it! Your very spirit yearns for that! Pressing..... Thanks man!

I know exactly what you mean. I've asked for the fire, and I'm getting it now... and at times its so hard but other times its so sweet... in the pain I see the glory of Him. In the anguish and confusion, I see peace and hope... I keep telling myself that my leadership definitely knows what they are doing... pushing me into the face of God. That is the whole point of all of this anyways. Living in His face. Every day seeing Him..every moment being about Him. I swear I've never spent so many hours in awe and weeping. Over the last few months, my personality alone has changed so much my pastors wife looked at me and just shook her head and said, "you are so different". Yes I am. I'm not different enough though and I have had to throw away so much of what I thought I knew... so much of what I was taught... because I'm learning that under the school of the Spirit... things are much different and I don't know nearly as much as I thought.

Don't search for the experience of the great men that have come before you. Search for Jesus Christ. Search for what those great men searched for, our Lord and Savior. Don’t search for an experience.

I started hearing testimonies from people who had been set free from long-term issues....... His revival of His righteousness…

We often called that moment "Entire Sanctification." Unfortunately, they didn't do a good job defining it. For me, it all boils down to being Christlike. We desire and receive a cleansing from God. It is more than just action, though our actions are changed, but we are filled with God's love for Him and for others. One problem, though, is that we can "seek" after holiness like we seek after the gifts of the Spirit. If we are not careful the "holiness" becomes the focus instead of the Holy God.
