... If you plant in the field of your natural desires, from it you will gather the harvest of death; if you plant in the field of the Spirit, from the Spirit you will gather the harvest of eternal life. So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest. (Gal. 6:8-9)

Text Box: THE HARVEST

Text Box: Encounters with Jesus The G12 Vision is simple and straightforward. However, there are many parts to it. One of the most important of these is the "Encounters with God weekends"

Text Box: he consolidation process is central to the success of the G 12 strategy. All believers should go through the consolidation process, at the heart of which lies the Encounter experience. There are three parts to the Consolidation process. They are the Pre-Encounter, the Encounter and the Post-Encounter. What are the Encounter Weekends? What is their importance? Does everyone really need to go? What actually happens at these Encounters? In the Pre-Encounter sessions, the new belíever will study themes related to his or her new life in Jesus. Someone from the cell group personally takes the new believer through several Bíble studíes. These cover topics such as, the certainty of salvation, the power of prayer, the power of the Word and principIes of deliverance. The aim of the Pre-Encounter is to prepare the believer for the Encounter. Spiritual preparation Then comes the Encounter, which usually takes place over a weekend at a residential conference centre. Before every Encounter, the new believer's cell group is encouraged to prepare itself with much prayer, fasting and spiritual warfare, for those participating. Before the Encounter starts, the battle should first have been won in the spiritual realm through spiritual warfare. This way, the cell member will surely have a remarkable encounter with God. The Encounter is much more than just a three-day retreat, in a setting away from the normal distractions of life. It should be a time in the life of the believer which he or she willlook back to many times and remember their encounter with Jesus! Meeting with God In both the Old and New Testaments, the Bible shows men and women experiencing great, life changing encounters with the living God. Abraham had his before he began his journey to be a great nation (Genesis12) and Moses before he led the Israelites out of slavery (Exodus 3). Joshua had his before leading the people of Israel into the Promised Land (Joshua 5:13-15) and Isaiah before becoming a prophet of the Most High (Isaiah 6:1-8). Jesus had his before starting his public ministry (Matthew 3:13-16, Luke 4:1a) and Paul after his conversion and before becoming the master of the theology of the New Testament (Acts 9:3- 7). One can find many other examples of contemporary church leaders and their personal Encounters with God before they entered into the full ministry that God had prepared for them. Total transformation The aim of the Encounter is total transformation that will give birth to the character of Christ in the believer. We need a genuine encounter with God in order to bring about this transformation. It is also an encounter with yourself, when you look inside your life to see the changes that God wants you to make. Finally, the encounter will take you into the depth of the cell vision, making you reflect on the actual situation of the world and its desperate need of the Saviour. The Encounter deals with the followíng subjects and íssues índepth: * Repentance * Forglveness * Breaking of Curses * Deliverance * Inner HeaLing * Baptism with Water * BaptismwiththeHolySpirit *The G 12 Vision Another goal of the Encounter is for you to see the Lord face to face, so that you are released from everything that hinders you in your ministry. The G 12 vision regards everyone as a potential leader and the Encounter is a preparation for the training that takes place at the School of Leaders. After the Encounter the new believers go through another series of one-to-one Bible studies, which take them deeper into the Word and further consolidates their commitment to Christ. During these teaching sessions the new believer learns about spiritual warfare, the armour of God, how to resist and overcome temptation, and how to deal with the attacks of the evil one. Encounters for all Does this mean that the Encounters are only for new believers? No. They are for everybody. Often believers today have never been truly consolidated in their faith as experienced in the G 12 structure. This means many issues dealt with at the Encounter are still unresolved in their lives. Sadly, they carry pain, bondage and demonic curses for many years and still need to be set free in some areas of their lives. In the G 12 vision we are all called to lead others to Jesus, see them set free and disciple them into the image of Christ. In 2 Timothy 2:2, Paul made it clear to Timothy that he should entrust the teaching and instructions that he had learned from Paul to reliable and faithful people. They in turn would then be competent and qualified to teach others. No one can teach and talk about what they have not experienced or received. In a church transition into the G 12 vision, it is essential that every member goes through the whole process, so they can effectively carry the vision without any distortion. This is like taking up the spiritual DNA of the vision and being ready to pass it on in the discipleship process. The Encounters are not just for your personal benefit. The life-changing, refreshing and empowering experience which the Encounters give are in order for you to go out and impact the lives of others through the vision.
