9 Ways to Position Yourself for an Encounter with God | William McDowell | Something More

Are you in need of a deep and powerful encounter with God? William McDowell shares 9 ways to position yourself for an encounter with God on this week's episode of Something More.

ISN – It's Supernatural! Network, founded by It's Supernatural! host Sid Roth, is an online TV network that exists to glorify God. At ISN, we believe that every believer should be normal as defined by the Bible – operating daily in the gifts of the Spirit and fulfilling their God-given destiny.

9 Heart Postures to Position Yourself for an Encounter with God - William McDowell
1. Waiting (internal focus - we are in God's Presence)
2. Desperation (Blind Bartimaeus)
3. Crying (Jacob wept before The Lord - Genesis 32, Hosea 12). You can either have your deliverance or dignity. Be willing to be vulnerable before God. We are not going to have a tearless move of God.
4. Prayer (the language of faith, pray what you believe)
5. Worship (create an atmosphere that invites the presence of God and God invites us into His Presence). Lifestyle of constant communion with God.
6. Deliberate action (woman with the issue of blood)
7. Faith (helps us endure future promises, present)
8. Obedience (critical - faith, worship are connected to obedience). Obedience is not an action, it is a lifestyle.
9. Repentance (it is an invitation from God to right living so that we can be with God). Repentance reconnects our hearts back to God's Heart.

“Repentance is an invitation, a gift from God to be intimate with Him!” Love that!!!!

Pastor McDowell, when I first received the Lord and my deliverance from a quart of Canadian Whiskey a day I was so changed and touched by God as an adult man that all I could do for the first two years was weep when I would come into the church and feel the Lord's presence and love for me. One women told me that she would intentionally sit in a pew where she could watch me worship. However a new pastor began to let me know that it wasn't a good thing when we had guests in the church especially if they were notable in town. It became a problem and I began to feel that I was immature and needed to stabilize my emotions so I asked the Lord to take the weeping away. He did but I know it grieved the Holy Spirit and I went through a long period where the cloud of glory I had on my life lifted. I won't do that again. Blessings brother....

There is nothing so refreshing as weeping in God's presence, pain goes away, depression, reassurance comes, healing, etc.

This man of God is the real deal. I’m here after having his song ‘Wrap Me in Your Arms’ on replay

[millyadhiambo]

Woow OBEDIENCE IS NOT AN ACTION IT'S A LIFE STYLE.

[carriej]

Obedience must be a lifestyle.. when we blow it, Run to him & repent. We are so blessed ❤️

[ginnyday]

Wow here I go praising GOD every day not only by prayer and being silent before god but I leave my tv on most of my day listening to your music and feeling the presence of GOD in my house and I come across this video and when I hear you have a church in Florida I’m like what 🙌 I’m in Kissimmee 🤗 thank you Jesus how awesome is this . And today I’m seeing you sing and I tell my husband see that man there he sings so beautiful and I can feel the love he has for GOD . I want to thank you for blessing me and many of us with your music and the your voice that GOD has blessed you with . May the Lord blessing be with you always 🙌🙏🏻❤️🤗

When you come face to face with the awesomeness of God there are tears. Repentance is a gift. My pastor says sin is anything that hinders God. Search my heart, oh Lord. Reveal to me anything in me that is getting in the way of your work in my life.

Finally, a pastor who is not talking about money 💰 and how to make big purchases thru Christ (house, , car, etc) when speaking on Jesus. He’s not sounding like a life coach “ like some pastors” he’s not trying to be like the young people fitting in with them or creating worldly “gospel” music to attract them (rap gospel- what is that?) or speaking like them to draw them, or wearing clothes like them to look cool like them. It’s about Jesus and the spirit of God which will draw all man “young and old”. To God be the Glory!! 🙏🏾

[JesusistheOnlyWay]

Yes obedience is key! Amen good video.
I found bowing down in worship is important too. I began doing it and after a while came across a word where FATHER pointed out that followers of other religions bow to their gods but HIS own children dont which grieves Him

[naajonah]

Repentance is a gift from God to be intimate with Him

[Rachel-nwut]

His music has been such a blessing in my life and in my soul it literally revives!! And it’s powerful!!!! 💖💖💖🔥🔥🔥🔥 I love this pastor! He’s brought so much healing and restoration not only in my life but people’s lives! The Father transforms hearts through this man!😩😩

[TreadingwithDeefashion]

God speaks to me through dreams that come to pass, I see people and I can tell things about them, I sing with Angels, been to places I can only describe as heaven and hell. Jesus is real. This was helpful, sometimes I am too busy for God. I know it's wrong, hearing messages like this leads me. I find it hard to find anyone who understands the supernatural or knows my experiences. Since fining Sid Roth life has been easier for me re my ministry and purpose. Tank you.

I loved the host he never one time interrupted the guest. But the guest is anointed

[TheCovenantEsthers]

We must be deliberate and intentional to receiving from God. Thank You Jesus🙌🏾

[praise_mwangi]

There is a cry, that comes from our hearts, to the one who can satisfy it all....love this

[letsallgohome]

My goodness....how can you "not" cry when it has to do with our Abba and Yeshua? It doesn't matter if you're man or woman, if you're completely in love it will make you cry. Praise God

[kaydeed]

I needed to hear this pastor William McDowell in my transitioning in Christ all I need is more of His presence more of Him.
