Laura's son and only child was involved in a catastrophic collision so violent that his vehicle was crushed almost beyond recognition. The engine of the car had been driven onto his lap. His belongings were scattered across the accident scene, and initially rescuers could not even find him.
Before the accident, some of the last words Laura heard from her son were:
“Mom, I’m coming home.”
But now she was facing the possibility that he might never come home.


Welcome to the August 2026 Edition of Encounter the Glory Magazine
This month, we invite you into a profound revelation of your identity in Christ. Our front-page feature, **"The Aroma of Christ,"** unpacks the staggering truth that you are not merely a carrier of God's presence—you *are* the aroma itself. Birthed from 2 Corinthians 2:15-16, this deep teaching explores the double-edged nature of your redeemed existence. To those being saved, you are the scent of life—a refreshing rain bringing hope and divine conviction. Yet, to those perishing, that same fragrance becomes the scent of death, exposing rebellion and convicting the world of its need for a Savior. Discover how your spiritual DNA, shaped by Jesus, provokes radically different reactions depending on the spiritual condition of the one encountering you.
But that’s not all. This edition is packed with raw, powerful testimonies of divine intervention. Read the gripping account of a family who experienced the **Psalm 18 deliverance**, witnessing God use His own ancient blueprint to rescue them from the enemy’s snares, just as He did for David.
Plus, don't miss our **Teen Voice** section, where young writer **Victoria Deladem** delivers a bold and timely reminder: all power belongs to God, not Satan. With fiery clarity, she breaks down **James 4:8**, revealing that the secret to overcoming temptation lies in submission to God first—then, and only then, can you resist the devil and watch him flee.
**August 2026 is your month to smell like Heaven, walk in deliverance, and stand firm in victory.**
**Read, be transformed, and encounter His glory today.**

First, meet Daniel Mawunyo Deladem. He was on a path to musical stardom, embracing the Rastafarian lifestyle. But the Lord, in His mercy, stepped in and redirected his path. Daniel’s story is a powerful reminder that God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called.
Next, brace yourself for the testimony of James Stacey. For years, he suffered under the weight of a demonic attack masquerading as mental illness. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, James was empowered to cast out the spirit of Schizophrenia and reclaim his mind for Christ.


Four hundred years of holy war. Generations of theological blood feuds. And yet, with just twelve words, Jesus rendered the entire debate null and void. In this June 2026 edition, Encounter the Glory Magazine revisits the well of Sychar, where the Savior chose neither position brought forward by the informed lady. Instead, He unveiled a new reality that transcended geography, tradition, and history. Join us as we explore the profound implications of His declaration: “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks” (John 4:21, 24).

In these pages, you will meet Norm Rasmussen, a man who once sat across from prisoners of war, extracting secrets with cold, calculated precision. As a former interrogator, Norm lived in a world of manipulation, control, and psychological warfare. But when the ultimate truth of Jesus Christ confronted him, his fortress of unbelief crumbled. We chronicle his powerful, violent transformation—how the hunter became a herald of grace, and how the depths of his past became the very foundation of his ministry of redemption. It is a story that proves no heart is too hardened for the scalpel of divine love.
Yet, every great warrior needs a companion on the journey. Norm’s transformation finds its human anchor in the steadfast love of his wife, Kathleen Rasmussen. We detail the genesis of their partnership and the stunning birth of the "Jesus Did It" campaign—a movement not built on lofty theology alone, but on the gritty, everyday faithfulness of a man and woman who decided that Jesus was worthy of every ounce of their public devotion.

In our March 2026 edition, Encounter the Glory Magazine dives deep into the spiritual mandate of Dominion. Editor-in-Chief Sandra Deladem leads this month’s teaching with a profound revelation: “Dominion is essential if you want to live a life of victory and spiritual stability. This is precisely why God saw fit to grant humanity dominion from the very beginning of creation.” Beyond the teaching, we bring you two powerful narratives of radical transformation—the harrowing testimony of Linda Huneke, who shares her journey through the "Pornography Widow" experience, alongside the awe-inspiring account of an atheist who bowed his knee to Christ. This is an issue you cannot afford to miss.

Welcome to the February 2026 edition of Encounter the Glory! This month, we delve into the tangible power of God’s provision and the clarity of His voice. Inside, you will find a stirring testimony of divine intervention—a life saved through the supernatural application of the Anointing Oil—alongside a profound exploration of how Prophetic words are not mere suggestions, but divine blueprints designed to steer you straight into your God-given destiny. We also invite you to ponder a deep, revelatory insight into the often-overlooked figure of Pontius Pilate’s wife, a woman who received a divine warning in the midst of history’s greatest trial. Prepare to encounter the Lord in a fresh and powerful way as we journey through these pages together.

Welcome to the January 2026 edition of Encounter the Glory Magazine. As we step over the threshold of a new year, we do not merely bring you headlines or happy tidings; we bring you a summons. This month, our front cover issues a divine invitation—and a divine imperative—to "Draw nearer to God and He will draw nearer to you." In a season where comforting half-truths abound, we refuse to soften the edges of eternity. Do not be misled by the lullabies of easy belief, nor distracted by doctrines that promise peace without the cross, or heaven without the furnace of holiness. The grace that saves is the same grace that transforms, and this month, we strip away the veneer of unsound sermons to present the uncompromising whole truth: our decision for Christ is not just a moment in time; it is the keystone of forever. Within these pages, we anchor this truth with the raw, redemptive testimony of a man who was paralyzed twice—and healed twice—proving that God’s power is not exhausted by our first encounter, but is available for every subsequent fall.

In this special December 2025 edition of Encounter the Glory Magazine, we dare to look at the intersection where human vulnerability meets divine power. We invite you to join us for an intimate conversation with Tabitha Yates—author, advocate, and the voice behind "Jesus and Therapy"—as she shares her journey through the complexities of mental health in Christian spaces. Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone who has ever felt broken. But that is only the beginning. We also honor the often-overlooked legacy of "Papa Joseph," share the whimsical yet profound testimony of the "Angel in Pajamas," and guide you through the essential steps to breaking free. This issue is not just a read; it is a roadmap to restoration.

The Nov–Dec 2025 Edition pulls back the veil on two of the most controversial figures in spiritual history. Inside, we feature the man brave enough to ask the question that changed eternity—the very man who drew the John 3:16 response from Jesus Himself. Though often sidelined in Scripture, Nicodemus emerges here as a strategist of the soul, who traded his reputation for revelation.
Plus, read our exclusive, spine-tingling interview with Carla Kallan, a former occultist who traded spells for deliverance, and the harrowing testimony of Annie Finstan, who escaped a seven-year bondage to witchcraft. This issue is packed with power-packed teachings and life-changing devotionals you cannot afford to miss.

The September–October 2025 edition of Encounter the Glory is poised to be our most transformative issue yet.
This edition features the explosive, must-read testimony of William Allen. In a raw and powerful narrative titled "No Lie Lives Forever," William details his journey of transitioning to a transgender woman ("Maggie") via full surgical procedures, only to encounter Christ and undergo a second, costly surgery to return to his God-given identity as William.
Beyond this gripping cover story, the issue tackles the spiritual heavyweights: we explore the million-dollar question, "Can a person truly possess all nine ministry gifts?" Additionally, GraceAnne Deladem offers profound insight into the often-misunderstood concept of discerning God’s Will. We also bring you a compelling account of the Holy Spirit’s supernatural encounter with a Muslim, rounding out an edition packed with riveting content.

From Corporate Corner Office to Kingdom Calling
Welcome to the July-August 2025 edition of Encounter the Glory Magazine. In a world that often measures success by salary caps and stock options, we bring you a story that redefines true wealth. In this issue, we sit down with Pastor Bill Gillette—a man who traded the golden handcuffs of the corporate world for the eternal riches of full-time ministry. His journey from boardroom decisions to spiritual devotion is a testament to the fact that when God calls, no paycheck is big enough to keep you anchored.
But that’s just the beginning. Dive deep into Sandra Deladem’s powerful feature, “Neither Do I Condemn You,” a profound look at grace that sets the captive free. We also explore the heartbeat of our faith with teachings on The Essence of Worship and the beautiful tension of God as Mercy, Grace, and Truth. For the next generation, we have a stirring piece for the youth titled The Call to Be Different—Walking with God in a World That Doesn’t Understand, alongside a special contribution from Abigail Deladem. Prepare to be challenged, changed, and caught up in His glory.

Welcome to the May-June 2025 edition of Encounter the Glory Magazine—an issue crafted to challenge the spirit, stir the conscience, and awaken the soul.
On our front cover, we pose a question that resonates in the hearts of many: “How do I break spiritual ties?” In her must-read feature, our founder Sandra Deladem unpacks this pressing concern with prophetic clarity, offering deliverance and direction for those bound by invisible chains.
But this edition is not only about breaking free—it’s about understanding the weight of what you carry. We dive deep into the poignant inquiry, “How much is your soul worth?”—a question that demands an honest reckoning in a world that so often cheapens eternal value. And if that isn’t gripping enough, prepare to be moved by a startling testimony: “Satan offered me a deal if I gave him my life”—a raw, firsthand account of spiritual warfare and redemptive escape.
Yet, in the midst of these personal battles, we turn our gaze upward. Sandra Deladem returns with a powerful editorial that broadens the scope, asking the ultimate question for our times: “How can we truly please God in our lives and as a nation?” It is a prophetic call to align our private devotion with public duty.
Also gracing these pages is an inspiring conversation with Melanie Penn—a Nashville-based songwriter who stands at the crossroads of faith and culture. From studying classical voice to captivating Broadway audiences (most notably as Sandy on the national tour of Grease! starring Frankie Avalon), Melanie now channels her artistry into music that speaks truth to a searching generation.
This edition is more than a magazine—it’s an encounter. Turn the page, and prepare to be transformed.
