Josh's Encounter

(For an understanding of “Encounter” please see the post “Introduction to Encounter”)

My name is Josh. I am 15 years old and have been taking care of myself for the past 5 years. My encounter started at Encounter and continued into the next day.

At Encounter when “anger” was called out as one of the things to come forward for release, I felt he was looking at, and talking to just me. I started to go to the front from the balcony, but then went back to my seat. Let’s just say I was emotional for the rest of the night.

I happen to be staying with Don and Margaret at this time, so the next night we started talking about the anger stuff. I decided to let them pray over me to get rid of the anger and suicidal thoughts that I had for about four years. As we got going I felt this stuff starting to come off. Once the suicidal thoughts were gone, I got a picture of a photo album. I sensed Jesus helping me remove all of the bad pictures throughout my life. Then I saw Him knocking on a door. I was asked what that meant and said, “I think He wants me to let Him in”. That was something I really wanted to do…so I did. Then He came in and I felt better. We talked and spent time together and then He removed a dark ball from the center of my chest and replaced it with a shining light. He took yarn and a needle and sowed the shining light in. I knew this was to let me know that it was permanent.

At the end, Jesus added a picture to my life’s photo album…it was a picture of the two of us talking.

It has been a week ago now, and I still feel no anger, no suicidal thoughts…I feel great! I hope it happens to you.
