I found the Greatest teacher of all is HOLY SPIRIT,HES wonderful, loving unlike any other, no joke the last few years Our Father wakes me up in the morning and says come away with Me, come sit & eat I’ve prepared a fest & it’s HIS WORD, bread of life, HES way way better than I knew yall
When I first came to Christ, I felt like I was saved. When I came across the idea of fearing God, I thought to myself, why do I need to fear God. Immediately the Holy Spirit admonished me and I knew I had work to do.
Ive asked God "what is my part in this walk of faith?" This really gave clarity on the difference of me trying to earn vs putting in effort. Great podcast 👏
@barbaraervin2537 this is true, and by faith, what grace has made available. Jesus Christ full of grace. Growing in grace led by the Holy Spirit. I asked and the answer was clear. Earning and effort and the difference of the two. The effort I put into a relationship in any relationship is my part. Bless God in these comments. Blessings to you and yours in Jesus name.
We are in agreement on doing the will of the Father. And to know His will is to know His word. And we engage in our relationship, we pray and worship and read His word. We put in effort, we show up, we by faith move.
Grace leads to works of Faith. That faith works as we know and apply God's love. That Faith comes and grows the more we get in God's presence and fellowship with him one on one.. That Faith working through revelation knowledge of his love cast out all fears= results in rest,acceptance,joy ,confidence etc..😊 Even our effort comes from the Lord because the word says in Philippines that it is God who works in us to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.. God is working it all out. 1 Corinthians 1 says God is faithful and it is him who makes us stand firm to the end etc...
I just purchased your book, The Bait of Satan. I read the introduction and 1st chapter and cried like a baby. I litterly suppressed offense for years and had no idea, but the fruit was present in my walk. I have told every person I met about this book, and all of them have purchased it. We started a book club!!! I can't wait to purchase every last one of your books that are definitely GOD breadth. I'm living out my freedom and never to get trapped again by the Spirit of offense. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PODCAST!!! The fear of the LORD gets rid of all fear. Wow, I can't wait to purchase. Father & Son. 👏🏾 Thank you, John Bevere for all that you do for the body of CHRIST!! 🙏🏽
@TonyaA7 I agree. I keep starting over just because it's that good. I had no idea it was written 30 yrs ago and also so profound!! I also watched the sermon yesterday 🙌🏽
This father son dynamic is fantastic. It’s hard to find a good back and forth to watch on podcast, but this is it! You’re both such great communicators - I want more of this duo for sure!! 😁
@@hman9581 True but it is a plus to have those who can communicate the truth accurately And well. Those who can't leave some with a lack of understanding 👍🙏
I am 61 years old and I have had all the time in the world to study and be approved and I don’t know why I all of a sudden want to study and be approved but I have a fervor in me like I did when I first met Jesus in my mid-20s and then because I didn’t know any better I unequally yoked myself with my ex-husband and it is taking me this long to come back him the Lord and want to know him intimately and have healthy fear of him I’m 61 I can catch up
I am 63 now. I became a Christian 5 years ago. I am slowly but steadily being changed in the inside and also outwardly, though there's still much for me to overcome and be delivered from. It's not easy, but it's a 1000x's better doing life with Jesus. It's NEVER too late. God bless you and surround you in His grace, through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the power of The Holy Spirit. Amen.
Im reading in the book of Ezekiel chapter 28. Maan its soo intersting. ! Like I'm reading how lovely he had developed the king of Tyre, but then because of his multitude of i inquity . I feel like God is telling me that he has built me to be an amazing, but something in me is weak. I want to go to boot camp to kick myself straighten. Guys i want to be everything God wants me to be. He called me, "The bringer of Victory" ❤ dude that means something!!
Yup, being kind and being nice are two different things. Kind can look like nice at times. But when a brother/sister NEEDS rebuke in order, kind offers that rebuke in love, whereas nice is too weak to offer that rebuke and allows the brother/sister to continue to hurt themselves.
You teach the truth. The balance between love and obedience compels me to keep listening. I am tired of only getting half of the truth. You sir preach the whole truth and I am deeply convicted to repent and fully experience the love of Christ. Thank you for your dedication to the truth.
I'm so happy I found you, John. You draw me closer to God, not just my relationship with Jesus. You remind me that it's not just about loving and following Jesus, but creating and fostering an intimacy with God, and to fear him. Ironically, my journey began because I have always feared God and tried to show Him in worthy. I didn't realize I have always been worthy, but I have to value the love and acceptance He gives me through grace.
I love you and your sons talks and how you lead right with chapter and verse. I have had terrible trouble with procrastination . I would love to hear you speak on this. I have prayed, prayed and prayed to overcome this though I don’t give in but feel stuck with it.
I'm a mess... 😢 I can't even put into words, what I'm going through, inside my mind and spirit. I can say, this message today has been a great help for me to understand what I need to do. Discipline, endurance, self control.... My weakest areas...but the 5 pages of notes I've taken, will get me started..thank you
Hallelujah yes, ask the Lord to change these things and help you mature and He will. I have faith that you will seek Him with your whole heart and find Him. I was lost and broken several times in my life and the Lord has completely transformed my life from broken to restored and He is training and equipping me now for the call on my life. It is the biggest adventure ever and the best peace and joy I have ever had!
Step by step I found was helpful. As long as you are aware of what needs worked on I felt that was more important initially. Bit by bit I think you will be built up stronger in all areas, some faster than others. All the best.
Another thought. If you have felt spiritually strong at points in the past but fallen back, I believe your journey will be less difficult. I often hear the word 'refinement' to describe 2 steps forward, one back. God is working on those who are pushing themselves up but a few setbacks may happen - these I think seek to make us more resilient.
Brother or sister. Please listen to me. If there were something you could do in your own flesh to improve your standing before God, Christ wouldn't have needed to come and die for us. You ARE complete in Christ. (Colossians 2:10-15) True sanctification is not a life long process, (which would be dead works), but rather a completed act accomplished once for all through the offering of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 10:10). In God's eyes, believers are rendered "unimpeachable and without blemish" as a result of their union with Christ (1 Corinthians 1:30). Many traditional views mistakenly place the burden of holiness on the believer’s performance, leading to a cycle of condemnation and a misunderstanding of one's standing before God. Focus on your identity in Christ. And what you now have. The reality now is Christ in us the hope of glory. Justification is far more than just the forgiveness of sins. But you wont hear MacArthur, Bevere or Washer talk about it. Or 99% of churches today. Sanctification is a completed act of being set apart through Christ, rather than a progressive journey of moral improvement. Shift your focus from self-effort to reliance on Christ. Rest in your identity as sanctified individuals and enjoy what what God has provided to you freely, which is the Lord Christ Jesus. Don't believe me? Ask yourself. What is the book of Galatians about? Why did Paul need to write that letter? As a believer, your condition does not affect your position in the body of Christ. We're all stuck in this sinful flesh, and we sin 24/7, and unfortunately, it will never stop until we see Jesus. Don't let these wolves tell you that you need to get out into the fields and "work harder". That's literally the way of Cain when they do. (1 John 3) will tell you all about that. Remember that the strength of sin is the law. (1 Corinthians 15:56) And any so called law keeping is just law breaking. You are dead to the law. (Galatians 2:19 / Romans 7:2-4) The law was given so that sin would abound (Romans 5:20-21), it's job is to teach you a lesson and bring you into a crisis, where you eventually just bottom out. And cry out to Jesus; "Oh wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" (Romans 7:24-25) Your regenerated spirit and the flesh are constantly at war with one another. (Galatians 5:17) You might think you're a mess, but in reality the Lord is just showing you that His grace is sufficient for you. (2 Corinthians 12:9) You ARE a fellow heir with the Lord Jesus Christ. And there is no burden on you. He took that burden for you. I hope this blessed you. 👋

I am so glad the Holy Spirit lead me to you. I love your podcasts, I have watched 12 of them in the past 3 days, that's including the podcasts with Lisa. God Bless you and your Family.
Mr. Bevere, you have a new fan! I've been on a journey to deepen my faith and get closer to God, and your teachings have been incredibly insightful. Your ability to break things down so clearly is truly a gift. I think I just binged about six of your videos in a row! Thank you, and thank you to your son as well, for the powerful messages you're spreading.
I love the way u teach, I’m learning more from listening to you and ur son, I never hear about The Fear of God. I said the prayer of excepting Jesus, but listening to you I realize I’m playing around with my life, not wanting to,, I knew I needed more of Jesus and didn’t know how to or what to do. I’m so great full for ur ministry, God knew just what I need in ur ministry. Thank you and thank ur son. Bless you so much.
Hello 👋 John and Arden!! 😊 Thank you 🙏🏼 so much for all your sharing! 🎉 I would appreciate a thorough Spirit filled understanding of our new covenant in Christ Jesus, please 🙏🏼 and thank you in advance!! ❤
I just want to say I have enjoyed so many of your podcasts. They dive deep and give you TRUTH not fluff. I’d love to hear a talk on money and prosperity. Thank you both! God bless you and keep you
John, you are such a prolific teacher with the power of the Holy Spirit moving through you. I am Christian but that last part, you were talking to me! There are so many things in this life we knowingly and unknowingly put before God. Whew! Thank you Lord for your grace and mercy!
John I can't thank you enough for your walk in boldness and in truth for the sake of the Gospel. We met back in 2008 a little after Driven by Eternity was released and to this day that teaching still rings in my ears , you've helped me more than you'll ever know, God bless your family and ministry in Jesus name ✝️💖✝️
I often thought the scripture that says 'My people are perishing because they lack knowledge' talks about how people don't know enough scriptures or laws in the Bible. But here it was explained so simple and beautifully that it's the lack of knowledge of God, not knowing God. Again it always bothered me when I thought the Bible says we should fear God. In this podcast it was explained, it's the fear of being separated from God. It's my first time seeing this channel. I love it and I'm so grateful to God about it. God bless you all ❤.
It's refreshing to see someone with light communicating a congruent/healthy understanding of the spiritual journey and how it is related to Jesus the Christ.
Love this channel! Seeing John being proud of his son is something I can't have since I don't have an earthly father. Thank you for this service you have given people, via this youtube channel, and I hope I can serve God selflessly and do his great works too.
The Awe of God is a fantastic book that is drawing me closer into an intimate relationship with God. Thank you Sir for writing it. May God continue to bless you and your family greatly🤎🤎
Talk about God’s timing! We are in a series right now about the Fear of the Lord and I’m thankful we are learning more about it! I didn’t realize the lack of it (especially on my end) in the Church and how it’s the foundation for growing closer to God.
None of this sounds like works for salvation but it’s still nice that you make it clear that it’s not by works we are saved but to work out our relationship with God like we do a marriage
I have to say, this is by far the core and central podcast as everything else hinges on it. If you think you are a mature believer, I would explore you to listen to this. It's a recalibration of note!
Continence! Wow! When you stop and think about the implications of such a word, and the alternative (incontinence 🤯), it really puts lack of self-control in perspective.
John, I am continually blessed and encouraged and built up in the knowledge and wisdom that come from your teachings/podcasts/books/X app.... today's podcast is a confirmation of what I've been studying and talking about the past day or 2. I love that our Heavenly Father is using you and consistently, giving me a confirmation each and every time I tune in to hear you speak! Praise the Lord for your faithfulness to be obedient in your walk and for bringing your son Arden into the conversations. He is very wise also, and what impact he will continue to have on his generation and the next to come... blessings to you both and to Lisa and the whole team that serves with you! God is moving mightily through you. ❤
Finally the hard core truth is being spoken! I’ve been looking for the truth and root of everything that I may succeed in my relationship with Christ! So much clarity! Praise God for His Holy work that is being done!
Thank you John and Lisa and all the family for your podcasts, sermons. I have been listening to them for a month on my commute to work and it is very refreshing
This podcast is life changing, ever since I started following your teachings my understanding on the things of God has changed completely... So much Love from Malawi🇲🇼Africa
Thanks to the lord for waking me up over the past year after being a Christian for over 37 years. GREAT timing with the state of our world and we see your Revelation coming true.
Praise God for this Podcasts channel with good topics. Has helped me alot in my walk with the Lord. Thank you, keep up the good work. The Lord bless you🤲
Something I thought about was keeping it real in our relationships. I want my words to match my heart, but for my actions to fully support my hearts desires. Needing approval is never the importance, but self esteem, self respect, and a whole lot of grace. Like when I'm working out it's almost like I'm turning a part of me off and putting something on. I have been failing to meet my expectations. Not by a long run. But like I'm getting myself in position. And it's coming, it's here, the desire. Like you said, "The potential is all there" we just need to work it out. " I like that thank you.
John you and your son are anointed! I was turned on to your ministry when I watched the Bait of Satan teaching. Amazing Bible teaching that has led me to watching more of your content. Thank you for providing a platform for Christians to grow in their faith. May GOD bless you and your family. Praise Jesus for his abundant grace and mercy!
Thank you for the episode and answering my question that I recently wondered about my walk with with God. I have given my life to Christ since 2015 Oct. Although God has amazingly used me for different purposed of my life at different time, I felt I am stuck with my growth towards being Christ-like. So thank you for discussing this!
I'm reading honors reward and am getting so much out of it! It led me to seek you out online and am loving your podcast. It is equally as enlightening, thank you!
Praying for this ministry Love watching the genuine love between you and your son Between you and your Dad THIS is gold and we as men NEED to see and know this is here. What a blessing! A beautiful God indeed and He is among His people 1 Cor 12:26-27
On my walk with Lord Jesus Christ I understand that the Holy Spirit is the power of God to overcome sin, temptation ,the flesh,the world and all the kingdom of darkness.. Read the Word of God,prayer, worship and praise and applying the Word of God to our lives. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Bevere Family thank you so much for the whole family’s obedience to God for building the ministry that will help change me my wife and my children. Also the future generations to come. Mark 9:41
ok ok, after watching a BUNCH of videos (and being annoyed by the ads, I got curious) I just checked out the app and thats wild I literally am amazed at how many resources there are. Im waiting on God to tell me more schooling or start working & I’ve been digging into God more while I wait. I cant buy too many audiobooks or anything to reduce costs. So like… I’m rly glad and grateful for the app! I’ll def dig into it while I can!!
this answered my confusion. i have watched a lot of preachers, pastors or ministers saying that works does not get us to heaven which is true but it lacks further explanation as to what to do once you start believing. i know i have to do something to make my faith stronger and have a relationship with our Lord Jesus and this gives me a list of what i need to remember to be aligned with the path our Lord wants me to be. ❤
Thank for this, God just places the videos and message at the right time I’m always blown away. God is using you both so wonderfully. Thank you for going through the scripture and explaining it
One of the 1st passages the Lord highlighted and I have committed to memory after being delivered from a sinful lifestyle!!! It is hard but worth the effort! Keep walking and see and know HE walks with you through the effort you put forth.
Oh WOW! This video just pieced everything together and helped me to FINALLY understand a dream from a few years ago and things God has been speaking to me for quite some time. It's as if God put this video together JUST FOR ME! I am mind blown! 😭🙌 God has shown me in dreams and spoke to me several things you spoke of, most of it was all in the clip at the very beginning of this video. Self control, the walls falling down, the fear of God, and,, I just started reading in 2 Peter a few days ago. So a few years ago I was saying self control is the most difficult for me out of all the fruits of the Spirit. I had a dream a few years ago and it was really just God showing me what looked like an old, I think roman looking "building" but it had no walls. It only had huge, tall pillars, but in the dream they had all been broken, and so there was just the bases of short, broken pillars on a big concrete slab. I woke up, wrote it all down, and then I was trying to figure out what it meant. I thought "Oh! It's about the whitehouse!" But I was not confident at all.. I finally stopped trying to figure it out on my own what that dream meant. And also, for the past several months, maybe close to a year, I keep hearing in my Spirit "The fear of God." And I keep seeing it everywhere now, or it stands out to me now. And not quite a year ago, I found something that jumped out at me. It was talking about a building or structure w no walls, or broken walls and how that had to do with no self control. So I knew immediately, that was what God was telling me in my dream. But I was still like, Ok, thank You God, but I still need to know what all this means, there's got to be more to it.. And still, I'm hearing "The fear of God" all of the time. So I have been trying to figure it out. And you actually helped me figure out those things in this video that God has been showing me and speaking to me. This is amazing! Hallelujah! 🙌🙌🙌
My story is almost the same, apart from the content of your dream. Mine demonstrated the same but differently. Fear of God and through that will come the self control l need so much more of. God keep you close surrounded by His grace, through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and by the power of The Holy Spirit. Amen.
This has been a blessing and thank you both for allowing God to sue you. I enjoy the conversation and the challenging way of thinking that leads to growth through this duo. Thank you for leading the prayer as I felt God's presence as I received it. God bless you and your families.
I struggled so much to read the bible and because of that I did not grow much as a christian of 40+ years. I do speak in tongue and saw God 's deliverance but I managed to let a spiritual leader talk me out of speaking in tongue and confess the scriptures. Long story. But thanks to your video on speaking in tongue, I am back on the saddle. I was mad at the person and myself for allowing this to happen.

Obey, the Word of God is DOING THE WILL OF FATHER.
JESUS SAYS
I'M HERE TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER
ONLY BY FAITH
@barbaraervin2537 this is true, and by faith, what grace has made available. Jesus Christ full of grace. Growing in grace led by the Holy Spirit. I asked and the answer was clear. Earning and effort and the difference of the two. The effort I put into a relationship in any relationship is my part. Bless God in these comments. Blessings to you and yours in Jesus name.
We are in agreement on doing the will of the Father. And to know His will is to know His word. And we engage in our relationship, we pray and worship and read His word. We put in effort, we show up, we by faith move.

The title for this is PERFECT! You have no idea how this is an answer to prayer. Thank you so much!!!
Reading The awe of God is absolutely the best thing I’ve ever done. Gaining that understanding is literally life changing.
I love it when you said you don't care about the time because by God there is no time
I love you and your sons talks and how you lead right with chapter and verse.
I have had terrible trouble with procrastination . I would love to hear you speak on this. I have prayed, prayed and prayed to overcome this though I don’t give in but feel stuck with it.
I'm a mess... 😢

Hallelujah yes, ask the Lord to change these things and help you mature and He will. I have faith that you will seek Him with your whole heart and find Him.

If there were something you could do in your own flesh to improve your standing before God, Christ wouldn't have needed to come and die for us.
You ARE complete in Christ. (Colossians 2:10-15)
True sanctification is not a life long process, (which would be dead works), but rather a completed act accomplished once for all through the offering of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 10:10). In God's eyes, believers are rendered "unimpeachable and without blemish" as a result of their union with Christ (1 Corinthians 1:30).
Many traditional views mistakenly place the burden of holiness on the believer’s performance, leading to a cycle of condemnation and a misunderstanding of one's standing before God.
Focus on your identity in Christ. And what you now have.
The reality now is Christ in us the hope of glory.
Justification is far more than just the forgiveness of sins. But you wont hear MacArthur, Bevere or Washer talk about it. Or 99% of churches today.
Sanctification is a completed act of being set apart through Christ, rather than a progressive journey of moral improvement.
Shift your focus from self-effort to reliance on Christ. Rest in your identity as sanctified individuals and enjoy what what God has provided to you freely, which is the Lord Christ Jesus.

What is the book of Galatians about?
Why did Paul need to write that letter?
As a believer, your condition does not affect your position in the body of Christ. We're all stuck in this sinful flesh, and we sin 24/7, and unfortunately, it will never stop until we see Jesus.
Don't let these wolves tell you that you need to get out into the fields and "work harder". That's literally the way of Cain when they do. (1 John 3) will tell you all about that.
Remember that the strength of sin is the law. (1 Corinthians 15:56) And any so called law keeping is just law breaking. You are dead to the law. (Galatians 2:19 / Romans 7:2-4)
The law was given so that sin would abound (Romans 5:20-21), it's job is to teach you a lesson and bring you into a crisis, where you eventually just bottom out. And cry out to Jesus;
"Oh wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" (Romans 7:24-25)
Your regenerated spirit and the flesh are constantly at war with one another. (Galatians 5:17)
You might think you're a mess, but in reality the Lord is just showing you that His grace is sufficient for you. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
You ARE a fellow heir with the Lord Jesus Christ. And there is no burden on you. He took that burden for you.
I hope this blessed you. 👋
Brother or sister. Please listen to me.
If there were something you could do in your own flesh to improve your standing before God, Christ wouldn't have needed to come and die for us.
You ARE complete in Christ. (Colossians 2:10-15)

I am so glad the Holy Spirit lead me to you. I love your podcasts, I have watched 12 of them in the past 3 days, that's including the podcasts with Lisa. God Bless you and your Family.
I'm from South Africa. I love love your Podcasts. Amazing content in bringing us in awareness of who we are in Christ.
Mr. Bevere, you have a new fan! I've been on a journey to deepen my faith and get closer to God, and your teachings have been incredibly insightful. Your ability to break things down so clearly is truly a gift. I think I just binged about six of your videos in a row! Thank you, and thank you to your son as well, for the powerful messages you're spreading.
I love the way u teach, I’m learning more from listening to you and ur son, I never hear about The Fear of God. I said the prayer of excepting Jesus, but listening to you I realize I’m playing around with my life, not wanting to,, I knew I needed more of Jesus and didn’t know how to or what to do. I’m so great full for ur ministry, God knew just what I need in ur ministry. Thank you and thank ur son. Bless you so much.
I can testify God has used John's book "Awe of God" to change my life 🙏
Hi John,
I’ve watched you since around 2010, this podcast is epic and keeps me challenged on my walk. Keep it up.
Hello 👋 John and Arden!! 😊 Thank you 🙏🏼 so much for all your sharing! 🎉
I would appreciate a thorough Spirit filled understanding of our new covenant in Christ Jesus, please 🙏🏼 and thank you in advance!! ❤
Love this Duo! I really enjoy learning God’s Word/Truth. This Podcast is on the Top of my podcast list! Thank you both for your time and efforts!
I just want to say I have enjoyed so many of your podcasts. They dive deep and give you TRUTH not fluff. I’d love to hear a talk on money and prosperity. Thank you both! God bless you and keep you
John, you are such a prolific teacher with the power of the Holy Spirit moving through you. I am Christian but that last part, you were talking to me! There are so many things in this life we knowingly and unknowingly put before God. Whew! Thank you Lord for your grace and mercy!
John I can't thank you enough for your walk in boldness and in truth for the sake of the Gospel. We met back in 2008 a little after Driven by Eternity was released and to this day that teaching still rings in my ears , you've helped me more than you'll ever know, God bless your family and ministry in Jesus name ✝️💖✝️
I often thought the scripture that says 'My people are perishing because they lack knowledge' talks about how people don't know enough scriptures or laws in the Bible. But here it was explained so simple and beautifully that it's the lack of knowledge of God, not knowing God.
Again it always bothered me when I thought the Bible says we should fear God. In this podcast it was explained, it's the fear of being separated from God.
It's my first time seeing this channel. I love it and I'm so grateful to God about it.
God bless you all ❤.
It's refreshing to see someone with light communicating a congruent/healthy understanding of the spiritual journey and how it is related to Jesus the Christ.
So powerful. This is confirmation for me. Thank you, John and Arden
As we grow in prayer, meditation on the Word and walking in the Spirit the more we are able to "hear His voice" and Know Him.
I thank God for your teachings, it’s been a great blessing to me & I have been sharing them with my family & friends. Shalom
Love this channel! Seeing John being proud of his son is something I can't have since I don't have an earthly father. Thank you for this service you have given people, via this youtube channel, and I hope I can serve God selflessly and do his great works too.
The Awe of God is a fantastic book that is drawing me closer into an intimate relationship with God. Thank you Sir for writing it. May God continue to bless you and your family greatly🤎🤎
You are very welcome
Love the Christ family and teachings from this channel and others. Blessed to have this knowledge at our fingertips
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU ARE TEACHING❣🙏✝️
Glory to God this reminds me of the conversations I have with my father, you guys are blessed, love you my brothers#
Talk about God’s timing! We are in a series right now about the Fear of the Lord and I’m thankful we are learning more about it! I didn’t realize the lack of it (especially on my end) in the Church and how it’s the foundation for growing closer to God.
None of this sounds like works for salvation but it’s still nice that you make it clear that it’s not by works we are saved but to work out our relationship with God like we do a marriage
I have to say, this is by far the core and central podcast as everything else hinges on it. If you think you are a mature believer, I would explore you to listen to this. It's a recalibration of note!
Continence! Wow! When you stop and think about the implications of such a word, and the alternative (incontinence 🤯), it really puts lack of self-control in perspective.
This is really opening my eyes to what God has and wants me to do for him
The Awe of God has been life changing, mind shifting and it has been pivotal on my walk with Christ. Thank you .
Needed this thank you both!
John, I am continually blessed and encouraged and built up in the knowledge and wisdom that come from your teachings/podcasts/books/X app.... today's podcast is a confirmation of what I've been studying and talking about the past day or 2. I love that our Heavenly Father is using you and consistently, giving me a confirmation each and every time I tune in to hear you speak! Praise the Lord for your faithfulness to be obedient in your walk and for bringing your son Arden into the conversations. He is very wise also, and what impact he will continue to have on his generation and the next to come... blessings to you both and to Lisa and the whole team that serves with you! God is moving mightily through you. ❤
Finally the hard core truth is being spoken! I’ve been looking for the truth and root of everything that I may succeed in my relationship with Christ! So much clarity! Praise God for His Holy work that is being done!
Knowing God -
Through conversation
Thank you John and Lisa and all the family for your podcasts, sermons. I have been listening to them for a month on my commute to work and it is very refreshing
This podcast is life changing, ever since I started following your teachings my understanding on the things of God has changed completely... So much Love from Malawi🇲🇼Africa
Thanks to the lord for waking me up over the past year after being a Christian for over 37 years. GREAT timing with the state of our world and we see your Revelation coming true.
So helpful and such a difficult peace of our lives. Arden you are shining bright in this episode
Thank you so much. I nearly missed this presious teaching because of the video title.
🎉7 Things that God never wants you to forget🎉 wow
Praise God for this Podcasts channel with good topics. Has helped me alot in my walk with the Lord.
Thank you, keep up the good work.
The Lord bless you🤲
Something I thought about was keeping it real in our relationships. I want my words to match my heart, but for my actions to fully support my hearts desires.
Needing approval is never the importance, but self esteem, self respect, and a whole lot of grace. Like when I'm working out it's almost like I'm turning a part of me off and putting something on. I have been failing to meet my expectations. Not by a long run. But like I'm getting myself in position. And it's coming, it's here, the desire. Like you said, "The potential is all there" we just need to work it out. " I like that thank you.
John you and your son are anointed! I was turned on to your ministry when I watched the Bait of Satan teaching. Amazing Bible teaching that has led me to watching more of your content. Thank you for providing a platform for Christians to grow in their faith. May GOD bless you and your family. Praise Jesus for his abundant grace and mercy!
Love this episode sooooo much…esp fear of God part 😭🕊️🙌🏽
You bring a lot of light to the scriptures
Thank you for the episode and answering my question that I recently wondered about my walk with with God. I have given my life to Christ since 2015 Oct. Although God has amazingly used me for different purposed of my life at different time, I felt I am stuck with my growth towards being Christ-like. So thank you for discussing this!
I'm reading honors reward and am getting so much out of it! It led me to seek you out online and am loving your podcast. It is equally as enlightening, thank you!
Praying for this ministry
Love watching the genuine love between you and your son
Between you and your Dad
THIS is gold and we as men NEED to see and know this is here. What a blessing! A beautiful God indeed and He is among His people
1 Cor 12:26-27
On my walk with Lord Jesus Christ I understand that the Holy Spirit is the power of God to overcome sin, temptation ,the flesh,the world and all the kingdom of darkness..
Read the Word of God,prayer, worship and praise and applying the Word of God to our lives. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Bevere Family thank you so much for the whole family’s obedience to God for building the ministry that will help change me my wife and my children. Also the future generations to come. Mark 9:41
Amazing!! Your podcasts are very powerful. Thank you so much for doing this.❤
Love this podcast! So clear and purposeful. Love the subjects. Keep bringing it!
This was an amazing message thank you both so much for moneys God and sharing your knowledge and wisdom with others
ok ok, after watching a BUNCH of videos (and being annoyed by the ads, I got curious) I just checked out the app and thats wild I literally am amazed at how many resources there are. Im waiting on God to tell me more schooling or start working & I’ve been digging into God more while I wait. I cant buy too many audiobooks or anything to reduce costs. So like… I’m rly glad and grateful for the app! I’ll def dig into it while I can!!
this answered my confusion. i have watched a lot of preachers, pastors or ministers saying that works does not get us to heaven which is true but it lacks further explanation as to what to do once you start believing. i know i have to do something to make my faith stronger and have a relationship with our Lord Jesus and this gives me a list of what i need to remember to be aligned with the path our Lord wants me to be. ❤
Great podcast with your son and an even greater message. Will watch again to take notes to share with others.
I just want to thank u for all u do I thank God for u because the words u share are really helping me in my walk with our father amen ❤
Hello John, you are doing a great work. You are changing my life. I see you as my father. More blessings to you and your family. Amen.
Amazing conversation, this chapter from Peter is so powerful. Thanks so much for sharing 🙏
Not listened until today enjoying the meat of the word your sharing Thx much..being a dad to those of us had no dad is very appreciated
Always get something from your teachings.
Good morning from Florida! Bless you guys
Thank for this, God just places the videos and message at the right time I’m always blown away. God is using you both so wonderfully. Thank you for going through the scripture and explaining it
Great message!
Love these Podcasts! GOD Bless!
One of the 1st passages the Lord highlighted and I have committed to memory after being delivered from a sinful lifestyle!!! It is hard but worth the effort! Keep walking and see and know HE walks with you through the effort you put forth.
Thank you for this enlightening episode about the importance of the Fear of God as a necessary requirement for knowing God❤❤❤
I am blessed by listening to your conversations. Hearing the heart of a healthy father and son relationship is a gift.
I've been studying the end of HEB 5 and beginning of HEB 6 which puts out what Milk is. This is really good to know 2 Peter has the balance.
Where are you in your walk with God today?
I hope I'm not a baby Christian... maybe I'm a toddler? 😅
I feel like I'm in a valley. But I know God is with me. I am persevering nonetheless.
Not exactly where I should/want to be, but not where I used to be
I have the same question. How do you share God without coming up legalistic? There’s still days I still do the things Imm not suppose to do.
Gaining confidence in sowing the gospel
Oh WOW! This video just pieced everything together and helped me to FINALLY understand a dream from a few years ago and things God has been speaking to me for quite some time. It's as if God put this video together JUST FOR ME! I am mind blown! 😭🙌 God has shown me in dreams and spoke to me several things you spoke of, most of it was all in the clip at the very beginning of this video. Self control, the walls falling down, the fear of God, and,, I just started reading in 2 Peter a few days ago.
So a few years ago I was saying self control is the most difficult for me out of all the fruits of the Spirit. I had a dream a few years ago and it was really just God showing me what looked like an old, I think roman looking "building" but it had no walls. It only had huge, tall pillars, but in the dream they had all been broken, and so there was just the bases of short, broken pillars on a big concrete slab.
I woke up, wrote it all down, and then I was trying to figure out what it meant. I thought "Oh! It's about the whitehouse!" But I was not confident at all.. I finally stopped trying to figure it out on my own what that dream meant. And also, for the past several months, maybe close to a year, I keep hearing in my Spirit "The fear of God." And I keep seeing it everywhere now, or it stands out to me now. And not quite a year ago, I found something that jumped out at me. It was talking about a building or structure w no walls, or broken walls and how that had to do with no self control. So I knew immediately, that was what God was telling me in my dream. But I was still like, Ok, thank You God, but I still need to know what all this means, there's got to be more to it.. And still, I'm hearing "The fear of God" all of the time. So I have been trying to figure it out. And you actually helped me figure out those things in this video that God has been showing me and speaking to me.
This is amazing! Hallelujah! 🙌🙌🙌
My story is almost the same, apart from the content of your dream. Mine demonstrated the same but differently.
Fear of God and through that will come the self control l need so much more of.
God keep you close surrounded by His grace, through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and by the power of The Holy Spirit. Amen.
This has been a blessing and thank you both for allowing God to sue you. I enjoy the conversation and the challenging way of thinking that leads to growth through this duo. Thank you for leading the prayer as I felt God's presence as I received it. God bless you and your families.
If someone tells you, you need to try harder to get closer or to gain change in your life. Run as fast as you can
I’m very grateful to have come across your podcast. Thank you! I am learning so much! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you for this, Praise God.
The Lord Jesus Christ is with us all. Thank you for spreading Gods Word and helping us understand Him better.
Your teachings are life-transforming.
This is a much needed breakdown for all of us!! Truly touched my spirit and gave me new insight, renewed resolution and a solid plan of action🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm filling the weight of the world god has given me so much more
This podcast is so filled with wisdom. Was praying for it and then bam! Here comes this video recommendation!🔥💥
Beautful, thank you four for sharing.
What joy, peace, power, love and what adventures we have with Christ. Thanks and praise to God.
Thank you so much. God spoke through this.
Wow! New Sub..I needed this more then you will ever know. Thank you🙏🏾
I struggled so much to read the bible and because of that I did not grow much as a christian of 40+ years. I do speak in tongue and saw God 's deliverance but I managed to let a spiritual leader talk me out of speaking in tongue and confess the scriptures. Long story. But thanks to your video on speaking in tongue, I am back on the saddle. I was mad at the person and myself for allowing this to happen.
This music is beyond intense and expressive.
Amen..need this
