Revelation 1:17-18 (LSB) 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, \u201cDo not fear; I am the first and the last, 18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hades<\/span>.<\/p>\n

While the apostle John was exiled to the island of Patmos, he experienced a vision that he was faithful to write down in great detail.<\/p>\n

That vision became what we know as the book of Revelation.<\/p>\n

As John encountered God, he fell at His feet \u201clike a dead man.\u201d<\/p>\n

And though John had personally spent much time with Jesus prior to His crucifixion and eventual ascension, this particular encounter was enough to make him drop to the ground like a limp rag.<\/p>\n

Many people today experience something similar, coming completely undone by the presence or the touch of God.<\/p>\n

But we also need to understand that encounters with God are not always as dramatic as John\u2019s, Peter\u2019s, or Isaiah\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Sometimes these encounters are more subtle; a whisper that shakes us to our core, but no less life changing.<\/p>\n

Sometimes these events change the path of our lives forever, placing us on a course that we would never have imagined.<\/p>\n

Many of us have had these \u201cGod moments\u201d that permanently changed us.<\/p>\n

And if we were to look back, we would clearly see where we were headed, and where God led us instead.<\/p>\n

It is, for lack of a better phrase, mind-blowing at the very least.<\/p>\n

And to be clear, this is not an emotionally based experience. It is not simply a hyped up or conjured up event.<\/p>\n

Sure, some may try to fake it. But a true encounter with God cannot be imitated. It is impossible.<\/p>\n

The event itself, or how it plays out, is not what should be focused on. It is the touch of God that truly matters.<\/p>\n

It is how He changes us that makes the difference. And it is that touch that alters our lives and the paths thereof.<\/p>\n

Let us endeavor to draw ever closer to Him, giving Him the freedom to move in our lives in whatever way He chooses.<\/p>\n

And if that encounter with God happens, let Him use it to accomplish whatever it is that he desires to do in our lives.<\/p>\n

We will never regret it.<\/p>\n
