A.L. & Joyce Gill
welcome you to our
Mountain Top
Encounter
May 5,6,7, 2009
Now it shall come to pass
in the latter days that
the mountain of the Lord's
house shall be established
on the top of the mountains,
and shall be exalted above the
hills; and all nations
shall flow to it.
Many people shall come and say,
"Come, and let us go up
to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob;
he will teach us His ways, and we
shall walk in His paths."
Isaiah 2:2,3a
You will notice that we do not normally
Several years ago, God told us to bring
His family together for a time of
impartation and refreshing. God said we
were to have no agenda but Him – Not
even any planed speakers. He said, “If
you will minister to Me, I will minister to
you through one another.” We are to be
totally dependant on the leading of the
Holy Spirit.
Since our first Encounter in 2001, these
meetings have been life-changing, glory
experiences in the awesome presence of
God. They are intensive in worship and in
the prophetic teaching of the Word.
Come to each meeting expecting to hear
from God as you give yourself totally to
ministering to the Lord in exuberant
praise and intimate, throne-room worship.
Kingdom, Glory, Harvest
God has been speaking three words –
Kingdom, Glory, and Harvest. As we
move more fully into His kingdom, His
glory will fall, and we will be
strengthened in our spirits to go forth and
bring in His harvest.
During this time, we expect to hear much
about the Kingdom of God, to experience
His glory, and receive instructions
concerning the great end-time harvest we
are entering into at this time.
A Diverse Family
We believe the Church that Jesus is
building is not about another organization
of man. Instead, it is about The Father
God and His Family. We have no
organization to join. Instead God has
joined the hearts of many to us as spiritual
sons and daughters, as brothers and sisters
in the family of God.
the five-fold ministries of Ephesians four
are functions and not titles.
Our passion is to help you fulfill the call
of God on your life and to experience the
fulfillment of the vision that God has
placed on your heart as you function in
the Family of God.
Those who relate to us as Dad and Mom
come from many different streams in the
body of Christ. We believe we need one
another, even our diversities, so that these
diverse streams can flow together as “the
powerful river of God.”
The Prophetic Word
We love to hear directly from God, and
we know that during this time He will
speak to us. We know that the prophetic
anointing flows through almost everyone
who is here.
The Bible says we are to know those who
labor among us, and we ask that unless
you are part of the ministry team of those
who relate to us as our mature spiritual
son and daughters, that you respect our
leadership and let the prophetic word of
the Lord come through them. If you are
not part of the ministry team but feel you
have a word from God to share with the
gathering it is important that you share the
nature of the message and obtain our
permission first.
As leaders, it is our responsibility to keep
things in God’s perfect timing. Please
don’t be offended if we feel your message
is not what God is speaking at that time
you receive it. It may be God speaking
personally to you answering a need in
your heart. It may be for a later time.
 Praise and Worship
In every meeting, we have one goal and
that is to come into the presence of God.
With one heart, we will praise Him, until
the spirit of worship comes. And then we
will worship Him until we are translated
into the glory of His presence. Then we
will bask, linger and soak in His awesome
glory. It is here that lives are changed. It
is here, in the intimacy of His presence,
that we hear His voice afresh.
For some, it will be a time of stepping out
of your comfort zone to enter into Biblical
expressions of exuberant praise – In
singing, shouting, clapping, waving
banners or dancing with all of your might.
Then the music will change as the Spirit
of worship comes. We may stand with
upraised hands in awe and worship of
God for Who He is. We may find
ourselves prostrate before Him on the
floor. The goal of each worship leader is
not to entertain, but to lead us into the
awesome glory of His presence.
We want everyone to be free in their
expression of praise and worship, but we
do ask that you be sensitive and not
distract others by actions that would call
attention to yourself. We try to leave
plenty of room at the sides and the back
for the more demonstrative types of praise.
On a very practical note, if the music
seems too loud to you, try moving to a
different location. Don’t sit right in front
of the speakers.
Above all, keep pressing into the
awesome presence of God with a hunger
and thirst to experience more of Him and
more of His glory.
When you said, “Seek My face,
My heart said to you. “Your face, LORD,
I will seek. Psalms 27:8
Manifestations of God’s Glory
Sometimes there is laughter, sometimes
there are tears, sometimes we stand in
awesome silence before Him. During
these times, many receive healing, others
experience angelic visitations, or fresh
revelations from God. Supernatural oil
may flow, or “golden glory dust” may fall,
or gems may appear from heaven. Wow,
what a wonderful God we serve! Every
sign that comes is to help us know the
power and might of our God, to help us be
more focused on Him, and to more
diligently seek Him.
Fellowship
One of the goals of the Mountain Top
Encounter is fellowship. It’s a time of
divine connections. Spend time with those
around you. Learn what God is doing in
their lives. You will be amazed at what
God is doing around the world. There is
never enough time to hear all the miracles
of provision, of healing, or of God’s
marvelous supernatural leading. Enjoy
meals with someone you don’t know.
Expect God to speak through those
around you. And let God join your hearts
together in life-enhancing relationships.
Hearing from God
The Mountain Top Encounter is not a
time for more sermons, or of giving our
favorite teachings or messages. Instead it
is a time to hear from God. So please
don’t be offended if you didn’t get to
speak or share during these meetings. We
believe that “promotion comes from the
Lord.”
There are leaders here of tremendous
stature in the Kingdom of God who may
not share at all. This is a time to hear from
God. This is a time to lift up Jesus and
Him alone. You may not know a speakers
name, or who they are, but feel a witness
in your spirit that they are speaking God’s
words for this time. You may hear things
that challenge, or stretch your beliefs. We
only ask that you be open to a “new
thing” that God may be speaking to His
Church today.
In Conclusion…
Have a wonderful time! Please be on time
in your attendance. Be free in Him. Come
into his presence with joy, expecting God
to surprise you with a fresh Word in the
glory of His presence.
Believe you will receive your healing
even as you praise and worship Him.
Believe you will receive His supernatural
wisdom for the problems facing you.
Believe you will receive His directions for
the powerful days ahead.
May this time together be a time of
spiritual refreshment – a real mountain-
top, life-changing encounter with God
Himself. We believe that you will join
many others in saying: “My life will
never be the same”
