- Why Encountering God May Be Different Than You Expected With Hayley Braun | Kris Vallotton
This past week I sat down for a conversation with Hayley Braun to discuss encountering God. Hayley is a Senior Leader at Bethel Church and Associate Overseer of BSSM Online. She has a powerful testimony of encountering God that I felt led to share with you.
Has your heart longed for an encounter; a moment where God walks on the scene and radically changes everything? We hear the terms “God encounters” or “encountering the Holy Spirit” often in our environment - they have been a part of the Bethel culture from the start.
The word encounter has been a word used to try to explain the experience we have as believers when the Holy Spirit touches us and impacts our lives. But, I want to challenge you, have encounters become glorified moments and grand monuments in our lives? Have we limited encountering God to a physical manifestation and ignored the work He has done on the inside?
The danger with the word encounter occurs when we ascribe it to one kind of event - when we limit the power of God to our personal history and our own preferred understanding. When we trap the power of God in our preferred comfortability and popular conformity we forget we serve a God far larger than the encounters we see happen in sanctuary on Sundays.
God is eager to encounter you! You were made for His Presence. In this week’s blog I share how encountering God may be different than you expect and how God encounters transform our life. www.krisvallotton.com/why-enc...

I feel the power of God so strongly on this! Hayley!! Wow!!! Thank you, Jesus
What great teachers in this pod cast. Thank you guy this lesson. I felt the Holy Spirit at the end during the prayer. I've been trying to listen to this video for 2 days but for some reason it just wouldn't work the first day. But Holy Spirit reminded me today and it worked fine, thank God! God bless you for your obedience to our Father.
Thanks for sharing!
I was moved to tears as you prayed. I felt the Holy Spirit move and speak into places that have been heavy on my heart and mind as a parent. Its a reassurance he’s in control and what’s going on is not a result of my failure as a parent.
Hayley, thank you. I am a Bais Alumni 2015. When you prayed about soaring, I could not help but shout. For the past week and a half, I have been getting pictures of Eagles, most of them are soaring and I know God is pointing to Isaiah 40:31 too. Wow, thank you Hayley and Kris for this 😊
Shout out to all the people from Port Elizabeth
I’m so grateful that you’ve put words to my experience! The Holy Spirit is on the move at Spinning Road Baptist Church in Riverside Ohio. Please pray for our faithful obedience to our faithful Father!!
I love you guys, so much. I love Bethel. Thanks for being such a blessing to me. Jesus, wow I feel God so strong when she prays. What a holy daughter. Whoever administers this channel, if you would like to pray for me, my name is Benjamin. I need Jesus
I love that she desires the father above anything else that’s so beautiful!!! People just want what you have . Trust me ❤️❤️❤️
Hayley is lovely and very wise. Kris is wonderful, so deep. Thank you for this.
watching from France
Awesome, my two favorite "children" of God. Love you guys, keep giving it to us! Yes, so in love with father!
When Hayley spoke about the butterfly and the cocoon it reminded me of Jacob wrestling with God
I was completely touched by the Holy Spirit and blessed by this video! Thank papa kris and thank you hailey for your amazing heart for Jesus! The prayer and word at the last was so on point! Every words on point for me! ❤️🔥
Holy Spirit is so awesome! God has been dealing with me recently on yhe fear of man and trying to transform myself. So grateful I watched this.
Love from Pretoria, SA .
I've been struggling with depression, fear and shame. Lots of shame that made me feel that I can't come into the presence of God, I am not worthy and God doesn't want me, my community doesn't want me. But I felt the presence of God came when you moved into prayer, and that assurance and comfort came, something I haven't felt for a very long time. Thank you.
@Doralto blessings in the Lord. No shame in your life anymore, in Jesus Name! I was saved by the revelation that "its not about me...its all about Jesus...He is the only one who is and was perfect...my rightness and righteousness is all thru Christ Jesus!" HALLELUJAH 🎉 I bless what Holy Spirit is doing in your heart and call it sealed in Jesus Name. Amen. ❤🔥🙌🏼
Loved your heart and prayer Hayley . Thank you
I would love to hear more about what Hayley has learned and/or processed around being overtaken by weeping.
I have held onto my son going to a boys home. I have been told it is not my fault and that has been on me since the situation started. Your prayer helped me finally let it go.
I needed that prayer, thank you. My encounters are so strong I feel lonely. Thank You.
This word was for me. I was crying during her prayer- I have felt myself struggling like a butterfly trapped inside a cocoon!! The Holy Spirit touched me and I was weeping. Thank you. God bless you and bethel ministry
Wow. This was posted ten months ago and somehow it came up in my feed yesterday, just when I need it. Thank you!
I am so gratful for this teaching. I need it so much ... the revelation and some explanation of what God is doing in us. I Love you guys even if its a one way knowing. I recieve all that was said and prayed over us. To be freed of any ingombrences holding holly spirits work in and through me. Amen
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for sharing!
This grabbed my heart this morning thank you! ❤️
It sounds like she’s a Spirit Bearer. I love Spirit Bearers in the church!
It is a year and a few months since this was uploaded but what Hayley prayed is applicable in a way I can clearly see in my life. Her interpretation of wrestling with God gives encouragement and language to a series of literal dreams I had as well as the day-to-day struggles haha. So cool. Thank you for sharing and being faithful. I know it is to God, for God, but it blesses me as well and I appreciate it.
Thank your for watching!
So emotional. I'm hoping for more... Thank you for being here, for talking, for sharing. Please pray that my childrens' hearts open to the Lord.
So good, so God! Thank you for sharing your experiences Hayley! Please pray as I contend to remember first love under an open heaven once more💖
Oh my gosh. This video made it into my suggestions as I was praying ❤️I’ve been sharing about the butterfly metaphor and the complete deconstruction in the cocoon as well as right now being such a transition season, but the struggle of the emerging butterfly- that wrestling 😭😭😭 the wrestling that brings strength- I can’t put into words what that speaks into for my own life today. Hope to share soon xo Sometimes what we perceive to be warfare may actually be a wrestling- as my friend Shara said hours ago- hunger increases for things we need- so a wrestling produces a capacity to feed
Love Hayley ❤️❤️❤️ powerful word! Thank you very much.
This is an amazing teaching. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you Hayley! This message is so significant. 🙏🏻 It gives me hope that the struggle through the cocoon has purpose- preparing me and making me stronger…breaking mindsets. 🙏🏻 Greetings from Cape Town SA!
This word! And Hayley's prayer at the end! Yes Jesus. So tired of trying to transform my own life.
Thank you Kris, thank you Hayley! So good, so powerful! Love you guys ❤️
Thank you. I never thought of sin in that way before. Anything that comes between you and the love of the Father and you're so many of those things are encumbrances not active evil per se. Thank you for sharing. I received and prayed along with Hayley at the end and I am believing I will see fruit. Thank you Lord and bless the entire Bethel Ministry xxx
I know what you are sharing in my life. Holy Spirit is changing me!
wow this is so packed full! Thank you both!
This is so good! Thank you ❤
So helpful, thanks for making these!
Yes, that was amazing! I felt so touched by God’s loving and compassionate nature through this teaching and prayer! Thank you.
This is awesome! Thank you so much for doing these!!! I praise the Lord for you both!
Overcoming these weights in a season of struggling, transition by rooting myself even more in my Christ identity through the Love of God. Encouraged by the message :) Glory to God
Papa Kris, pastor Hayley the entire interview was impactful, but I felt the presence of The Holy Spirit when you prayed. I needed it!
I really needed this. Thank YOU Lord! Thank you Ps Kris and Hayley for sharing this with us. It has impacted me so deeply in every way. We love you! God bless!
So so beautiful..... Hayley u r so precious. Thank u Abba...
Greetings from South Africa! 3 h away from Port Elizabeth! Thank you, this post is so so good!
So powerful, thank you guys.
I so appreciated this conversation! The Father has had me on a very similar journey the past year or so. Really encouraging to hear someone share their story who is a bit ahead in the journey! Thank you!
So beautiful. So authentic
This is really helpful, thank you
That was great! Thank you both.
Thank you Kris and Haley. So much light on what I'm going through. But so much hope and encouragement from you both🔥💦🕊️💕 So awesome 💯 . Again thank you both❣️💃
Wow awesome that’s powerful
Thank you for sharing
This directly spoke to so many things that God is pinpointing in my life right now. Come, Holy Spirit 😭 Thank you for those sweet reminders, Hayley and Chris.
Thank you for this! 🙏🏻
Thank you for the demonstration of wisdom and passion uniting to ignite the next generation for true encounters. Love you guys. Love from S Africa. Blessings and prayers.
Heard God ask: Who said you had to stay in a job that my x husband ushered me into? That hit me during prayer with example of if a butterfly is helped out or cut out of its cocoon ' it wont fly' So for me not staying in a place that He has called me out of ' is freeing' even though it looks alittle scaryee to not know 100% what it will look like to be on my own in buisiness ' I have to tryst HIM in the leading of it all' i want to trust HIM ' and I do trust HIM....thanks Kris & Hayley
This metamorphosis emergence word is totally coming to pass now
I know my Christian relationship mentor recommended you in his course. It is really great watching you! We do agreements which are lies on one side that are triggered by anxiety, fear, or anger usually and truth on the other side speaking to a person's identity. I feel like GOD has been speaking to me a lot propethically these last 3 years. I think I would like to come to your fall event because I'm having repeated dreams about using the propethic.
Thanks Kris and Hayley. This was such a blessing. Greetings from Uganda.
Dear Kris and Hayley,
Please pray for my marriage...
The enemy is working overtime bombarding us with division.
Thank you...🙏
That McDonald’s analogy was great.
This teaching was a blessing.
Thank you Jesus for your kingdom leader, I am blessed by you, please pray for me, I am struggling to encounter Jesus. Thank you again God bless you!
Ditto Hayley... I'm a weeper too and I just don't wear makeup anymore because I know what will happen... 😊
I feel this hunger to learn more about propethic the last year. We've used tongues and interpretation a lot and I've on occasion seen a word of knowledge maybe. However, mostly tongues. I am in a pentecostal type church.
So powerful ...coming thru a wrestling season ...😔
Kris I am teachable...period...I look forward to communication and Ephesians 4:16 ..but the LORD has enlarged our tent pegs here and then we have all of these crises/Opportunity. I expect encounters with the LORD everyday...period and I would be disappointed if I didn't have one or missed one...got to..just got to...usually starts at 3am...but can continue through the day between loading the washer and dtyer...
PE. South Africa..great..
I am from South Africa too :D
Pearls of wisdom as always! Kris...you mentioned you had a statue of liberty anointing. Can you explain that as that was what he told me ..how he sees me! Did some resubmit or and one of the things that struck me was it gets hit by lightening 300 times a year! She has one foot in chains and one stepping forward as she represents freedom from slavery ...not surprising given who designed her. Lots more interesting facts but pretty powerful to have God describe you t his way.
AND! With a piano...look out! I think it is Psalms 144...fingers fighting..hands warring...

What is the school you guys talk about? I need so desperately to be equipped and discipled by an encounter. I've been praying for years for one without anything. I've been in the dark night of the soul for 12+years.
Anyway, I am coming...Greg just gave me the send off...
I feel like I’m stating the obvious but this is just so powerful and inspiring. I received ways to pray into and about the encounters I’ve had that hadn’t occurred to me before. Such beautiful surrendered stories.
Holy Spirit touched so many areas of my life through this session that I felt it was done just for me. (Even that Hayley's origins are from South Africa.) What a blessing. Thank you Lord for your goodness, your Love and your children.
So good and freeing Many pearls of practical wisdom.

HAYLEY, PRAAT JY AFRIKAANS?
Id like to know why God doesn't come down and meet with me.
I'm glad for everyone else that has had a "meeting" with him, but for real...why doesn't God quit goofing around and show himself to those of us that will never "just believe".
I can't believe in things unless I can verify their existence, and God's existence can't be verified.
I suffered from some sort of "breakdown" or something and God hasn't done a dang thing to help me, although others in my life would say othrrwise.
I've been searching high and low desperately and none of this stuff makes any sense, and all these encounters that people always talk about can be interpreted 6 different ways.
To people like me, logic rules all.
When logic and numbers say it's one thing, but the people in your life that are notorious for basing everything on emotion and "how they feel" about something say it's God re-working my mind, what do you do?
Do you go with someone else's "feelings" (the flip of a coin), or do you go with logic (cold hard fact)??
If God can do anything...then He could do something to convince me (and others like me) that He is real. Period.
All I want is to meet with the almighty God, but no matter what I've tried in the past 20 years has worked.
I'm honestly sick of all this crap.
I think I'm done with the idea of God.
You should really stop your nonsense and truly repent and turn to the true JESUS found in the Bible.
