Post-Encounter in the G12 System

After experiencing a fresh, powerful and life-changing weekend with the Lord Jesus Christ, it comes as no surprise that the enemy of our souls, Satan, is not very happy! He will do his best to snatch back the newly freed people. That is why the G12 System designed a Post-Encounter sessions. This session is a ten-week course designed to establish basic biblical truths in the life of the new believers and to lay the foundation for a whole new lifestyle built upon God's Word and prayer. This is basically a follow-up class and is intended to help the participants continue to grow and solidify what God began in their lives at the Encounter God Retreat.

The main purpose of this Post-Encounter is to sustain the fire and also help people grow in their relationship with God and commit to coming alongside them as they learn more about themselves and God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Post-Encounter classes offer additional teachings, people committed to pray for you and to be available to you to help you walk out what God is showing and teaching you, and the opportunity to be able to go further with God on your spiritual journey.

Classes for Post-Encounter begin 1 or 2 weeks after the Encounter God Retreat. The School of Leaders Director will usually make the schedule for the Post-Encounter Classes. Some churches designed it every Wednesday evening others also depending on the availability of the majority. The class will normally consist of worship, lessons, small group discussion and group prayer. Some teachers of the Post-Encounter also will give exams to their students.

Encounter God in the G12 System

Encounter God Retreat provide the place, time and opportunity for a new believer to spend personal and devoted time with God that will help them move beyond their present Spiritual condition into a stronger and more intimate relationship with God. The main reason why a person should undergo an Encounter God Retreat is for that person to experience freedom that only Jesus Christ can give. This is the only way for that person to grow in Christ.

There are many benefits a person will get in encountering God. During the encounter the person will be healed physically and emotionally. Breakthroughs in their relationship with God and in other people also will happen after encountering God. Hurtful thought and behavioral patterns will be broken also. Wounded hearts will be restored and broken relationships will be mended. Most importantly, lives will be changed and transformed and will become a new creation.

During the encounter God retreat series of teachings are presented that will help the participants to establish and deepen their relationship with God. This will lead them through times of forgiveness and healing, and help them to let God take their hurts, wounds, fears, doubts, and burdens, and bring them to a place of freedom and restoration.

The teachings basically focused on God and what God can- and wants - to do in our lives. Time is provided so that each participant can interact with God on an individual basis. People truly experience God on an Encounter speaking with them, healing them, and delivering them from their pain, fears, and strongholds. Every participant who has attended an Encounter God Retreat has come away with a deeper knowledge of God and His love for them, and most have come away with dramatic stories of their encounter with Him.
