    Chapter 1: iEncounter

    I remember the day like it was yesterday: May 16, 2009 approximately 3 a.m. in the morning. It was a day that my life changed forever, and I will never, ever forget it. It’s the day that Jesus visited me face-to-face.

    I was on day one out of three days of a full fast (no food—just water). At that time, I had been in a season of fasting for three consecutive days each month, combined with intense prayer and studying of the Word. I was so desperate for more of the Lord.

    I had only been saved for a year and a half, but I had an insatiable desire to see Jesus and experience Him in a new way. Being closer to Him was all I thought about. He was my only desire!

    It’s important to note that in 2009, I hadn’t even preached my first sermon. Instead, I was just a single, 23-year-old young lady on fire for God. I had read about the Jesus presented throughout the Bible, and I wanted to experience Him for myself. So please don’t think that if you are not in ministry that you are disqualified from being eligible to experience a face-to-face encounter with Jesus.

    Firstly, know that salvation is the key that opens the door to more of Jesus. If you haven’t accepted Him as your personal savior, then please, please don’t go another day without making that life-changing decision.

    I don’t care what you’ve done or how bad you’ve done i. At this very moment in your life, , the heart of the Father is beckoning you to come closer to Him. Can you feel His heart for you? He desires sweet communion with
