How Can We Have a Close Encounter With Jesus? #Campmeeting
Do you believe God lives within you? Do you have close and personal encounters with God? As Christians, we must cultivate a close relationship with God that will result in a close encounter with Him, not only once in our lives, but every day, because we belong to Him. God desires for us to be closer to Him, and He is always willing to pour out His Holy Spirit upon us. Pray for a closer experience with Jesus Christ and ask daily for the gift of the Holy Spirit to be in charge in our lives and lead us closer to the throne of God. Watch the video to learn more from US Senate Chaplain Barry C. Black about what we can do to have a close encounter with Jesus and be fruitful in our spiritual lives. ————————————————————————————-

Wednesday: Crucibles of Purification
“Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Behold, I will refine them and try them; for how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?’” (Jeremiah 9:7, NKJV).
“If the Spirit of God brings to your mind a word of the Lord that hurts you, you can be sure that there is something in you that He wants to hurt to the point of its death.” — Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest (Uhrichsville, OH: Barbour & Company, Inc., 1963), p. 271.
How do you understand the quote and Bible verse above? What has been your own experience with the pains involved in the purification process?
Read Jeremiah 9:7-16. God says that he will “refine and test” (NRSV), or “melt” (KJV), Judah and Jerusalem (Jeremiah 9:7, NIV). What two reasons does God give for this? (Jeremiah 9:13-14). How will the refining happen? (Jeremiah 9:15-16).

God’s refining and testing involved drastic action. There are perhaps three reasons why refining and testing may feel like a crucible. First, we experience pain as God allows circumstances to bring our sin to our attention. A little earlier, Jeremiah unhappily writes, “The bellows blow fiercely to burn away the lead with fire, but the refining goes on in vain; the wicked are not purged out” (Jeremiah 6:29, NIV). Thus, sometimes drastic action is needed in order to get our attention. Second, we experience anguish as we feel sorrow for the sin we now see clearly. Third, we experience frustration as we try to live differently. It can be quite uncomfortable and difficult to keep choosing to give up the things that have been so much a part of us.
| Think about the sins that you struggle with. If God were going to refine and test you today, how might He do it? What action could you take now to deal with this before God would want to take drastic steps with you, as He did with Israel? |
Amen!
