He challenges believers to remain open to being used by God as a vessel to answer the prayers of others.Spiritual Growth and Fresh Revelation: Dr. Powell warns against the dangers of spiritual complacency, highlighting the necessity of seeking fresh revelation through prayer to sustain spiritual vitality.

Life is short; are you living it well? Or is your poor decision keeping you from living the quality life God has for you?In this message, Apostle Gabriel Powell dives deep into the essence of a meaningful life—a life aligned with God's word and guided by spiritual principles. This episode emphasizes the necessity of spiritual cleansing, the power of free will, and the wisdom of making godly choices.Key Scriptures:2 Timothy 3Psalms 90:121 Corinthians 10:23Psalms 39Proverbs 4:7Key Points:Importance of Spiritual Cleansing: Apostle Powell emphasizes the urgency of cleansing personal vices such as jealousy, envy, and unholiness. Genuine transformation involves confronting and overcoming inner darkness. Initial struggles are expected as these issues come to light. True spiritual power shows in the manifestation of God's glory within us, not through material possessions.Principles of Spiritual Transformation: • Asking God for Purging: This is crucial for better decision-making and achieving spiritual freedom. Behavioral Changes: Experiencing God's glory leads to changes in behavior and character, such as forgiveness and overcoming past traumas. Biblical Standard: Holiness, as opposed to comparing oneself to others, should measure our lives.Quality of Life from Scripture: Avoid those driven by negative attributes like love of self and money. Poor decisions can be detrimental to health, relationships, and finances. The greatest gift is free will, but with it comes the responsibility for consequences of our choices.Valuing Life and Relationships: Life is short and should be cherished, as emphasized in Psalms 39 and 90. A personal anecdote about his father's tough love teaches humility and the value of life. People are irreplaceable gifts, and their value should be recognized and cherished.Wisdom and Understanding: Appreciating life as a gift can enhance its quality. Psalms 90 teaches us to number our days to gain wisdom. Wisdom and understanding are more valuable than material wealth.Decision-Making: Decisions should stem from wisdom and healing, not impatience or brokenness. Every choice has consequences; not all choices are beneficial.Prayer Life: A strong prayer life is essential for making decisions aligned with God's will. God communicates through His word, guiding us to holistic decisions.Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 9 AM & 11 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 | Cash App $encounteratlanta Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website

Apostle Gabe calls for a return to structured and consistent spiritual habits, such as regular prayer and reading of the Scriptures.Misconceptions of a Christian Life: He warns against the false belief that Christian life is devoid of struggles. Being a Christian does not exempt one from life's trials but provides the strength and framework to navigate them.Holistic Approach to Life: The quality of life is not solely dependent on material blessings or status but on the health of the soul. A healthy soul leads to a healthy household, community, and ultimately, a quality life.Respect for Experience: Experience brings wisdom; cultivating relationships with seasoned individuals can lead to greater personal and spiritual growth.This message encourages us to focus on inner healing, discipline, and genuine faith to cultivate a rich and fulfilling life as intended by God.
