FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Answers to common queries our students have before starting their journey.
What is the Immanuel Encounter?
How do I know if it's God or just my imagination?
The Immanuel Encounter is a process of connecting personally and interactively with the Lord, and removing barriers and hindrances to an intimate, interactive lifestyle of connection with him. The goal is to build and deepen a securely attached relationship with the Lord, one that increases our capacity to stay connected to him even in difficult life situations or painful experiences.
This 12-minute video, composed of clips from our live classes, offers a more detailed teaching about discerning whether an Immanuel Prayer experience is really from God - and what to do if you're concerned it's not from God!
