I remember all the times God manifested Himself in my life. Remembering the sweet presence of Jesus in my life is a constant reminder of how real He is, and I also am fearful of being apart from Him. When I sense myself drifting I come back to the basics because I missed something along the way.
I’ve e been struggling so fiercely with anger and self harm and I am drifting away from God. I don’t want to be caught up in the world anymore and I want delivered so I can know who I am and whose I am and overcome my demons. Will your podcast be able to help me? I am a mess and broke and need fixed yet I have no one I feel safe enough to trus. Let alone to help me get free and whole. I am going to ask Jesus to make me better and do my best to trust him. I’m terrified to trust. I will do my best though
If the foundation of the faith is wobbly and not strong, we will become delusional and leave the faith. The bible says that when we are only hearers of the Word and not doers of the Word, we not only deceives ourselves but also are actually building a house on the sand. When the storms of life appear and hit the house, the house would collapse with a great crash. Secondly, we need to have our minds renewed daily through the reading of God's Word in order that our thought process and our opinions are in line with God's Word. We need to align our mind with the mind of Christ. Thirdly, leaders have been preaching a gospel that is not the gospel of Christ. They preach a gospel that appeals and appease to the flesh but does nothing to build the Spirit. The bible calls these gospel unsound doctrines or "doctrines of demons". Those with itching ears would love to hear such gospel. They are feel good messages that makes listeners feel good about themselves but do not edify the Spirit. It does not build the Spirit man. These believers are building their faith on the wrong gospel. Their are building on a wrong foundation. One day it will shipwreck their faith. We are already living in the last days. The bible says there will be a great falling away of Christians around the world. Christian believers are attacked by the enemy like never before! The Lord is returning!
@@gohsenglin4486 Not quite. I think the correct word is "disillusioned", when you figure out that there's basically no truth in the Bible and you've only assumed that it's the truth, probably because someone you trust said that it is.
@@citytrees1752 jesus has warned that many will choose the wide gate and will be led to their destruction. so, it is not growth that is of primary importance here. it is that what is being taught is fully grounded in the written word of god and that this is being practiced in faith.
I was saved about 3 weeks ago now, and I have the same feeling. I can now notice all of the people who have actually awoken within even just the past few years all around me and hidden throughout the media that I never even noticed before.
@@andyshu85 Being skeptical, while open-minded, means looking for actual evidence. God is welcome to provide that evidence whenever he wants. If he exists, he will know what evidence will convince me.
@@reformCopyright The thing about God and humans is that we are meant to please him, not the other way around. Nothing separates us from him faster than haughtiness and pride.
yeah, i am one of those who walked away from the church, however, not from my faith...the church has gone wild with politics thinking they are pleasing God. I love God and after 4 years of not going to "a church" and just streaming online church from preachers i considered not-MAGA and still biblically tuned with the Kingdom of Heaven, I felt God telling me it's time to go back. It's time to stop the tantrum. Time to forgive and trust and obey me. It's been hard. I've been struggling with relating with other believers I fellowshiped with. It's not the same, but I know it's God's will that we all return, and people who left the church, are returning. We need grace.
The Western Church is very different from many churches around the world, and definitely different from the early church. Many services have become little more than a mini concert followed by a TED talk with three scriptures interjected. There's very little biblical exegesis in a lot of Western churches unfortunately. Many sermons focus primarily on improving the quality of our lives, when Jesus clearly instructed us to take up our cross (die to self) and follow Him. There's definitely some contradictions going on between those two mindsets.
The devil wants to lsolate people , so he can have his way with them, in deception+ lt is not the same, being lsolated from worship of others that brings his spirit.! I know lt is hard , during the week , that is where we really need god's help , but even lsreal 's jews meet on the weekends. We are not meant to be alone, we need balance, besides the n.t. bible says fail not to assemble yourselves together , as the manner of some is. You can " loose- out with god, being lsolated. I, at the moment wish there were more church serves in revival !!!!!❤😅😊
We need more of a hunger for god , in our lives. The dog, you feed, is the one that wins. A diet of tv. Other people's oppinions, a lot of news, wears away our minds. Read the bible, and pray have family over,, etc. This is the way jews have some joy, the joy of the lord is my strenghth!❤😅😊😊😊❤
@@judystaab7126Just like God has his way with a virginal bride before her husband could clap her cheeks. God laid with Mary and knocked her up. He coveted Joseph’s bride and took her. God broke his own commandments. Leave the devil out of this!
One thing is clear! The bible says in the last days, there will be a great falling away of christian believers! We are living in such times! One of the reason is that the gospel preached is not the gospel that Jesus preached. Leaders are preaching a watered down gospel just to attract the people into the kingdom. Leaders are preaching a different gospel that Jesus preached. These are unsound doctrines that the bible calls "The doctrines of demons". With itching ears, these believers embraces these teachings. Also, many are drawn to feel good messages that they leave the church feeling good about themselves. The message appeals and appeases to their flesh but it doesn't feed the Spirit. So, there is no true transformation of Christ like character. When a false gospel is preached, it will be a false conversation into Christianity; it will be a false repentance; it will be a false transformation; they will become false followers of Christ. They are the goats. They are the tares. Their christian foundation is flawed. Their foundation is built upon the sand not upon the rock. Also, there are many who starts off well but do not end well. These are believers who are genuinely believing in Jesus and have turned away from Him. They are like a dog going back to its vomit. They are like a sow going to the mud and wallow in it again. They have tasted the goodness of God but turn away from Him. How frightful it will be on the day of judgement!!!
Whatever faith I had before 2010; perhaps a "form of godliness, that denies the power of God", was insufficient to keep me from Agnosticism. I found myself in a very dark place. I've got good news. In 2010, JESUS got a hold of me. Today I am on fire.
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to move on, I really loved her so much i can't stop thinking about her and the memories we shared. I've tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail. I'm frustrated, and i don't see my life with anyone else. I've done my best to get rid of the thoughts, but i can't. I don't know why I'm saying this here, but i really miss her and i wish i could get her back.
have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about three years ago, but i could not let her go. So i had to do all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back. We are back together, and i must say i am enjoying every moment.
Be still and wait on the Lord. If you use your strength or other means to get her back, you might miss why God permitted it- if you're a believer in Christ Jesus, if not, still go to Him and tell it all to Him, asking the Holy Spirit to help. Believe, and you will eventually have the grace to praise Him. Romans 8. It's painful now, and it may continue to be, but if you place your love for God above your love for her, she will stop being an idol in your heart and you will stop hurting. So, dare lift up your hands and praise God as you are now, and not wait until you see the end of your faith, just believe because He loves you and He is Faithful and True. Hebrews 11:1. You cannot love anyone above God! He is a Jealous God. He may bring her back if you show that God is above her.
Satan has whispered in my ear that I was going to be a statistic and leave the faith. I however took authority over this but I am so glad that you did this podcast.
Brother John ! You are spot on!!! During Covid I began listening to true men and women of God who fear God, reverence His Word and who love holiness. Digging into the Word is more important than we we realize! We also need to be taught how precious seeking God’s presence is! Being a student who closely adheres to the life of his teacher is critical! Being in love with Jesus is an adventure every day!!!!
As I was reading from "The Awe of God" I heard the Holy Spirit say to listen to John Bevere when I walk my dog. I pulled up your TH-cam page and saw that you had recently started this podcast. I'm very thankful for the great truths that I heard you and your son discuss here... It's going on my "go to" podcast list for sure!
Grew up in a christian family but needed a personal relationships to Jesus. The book "driven by eternity" was a trigger God used to talk to me and bring me closer to Him. I realised that my life needed to be driven by eternity and decided to ask God to give me a perspective of Eternity where He lives and where I want to be also!
Thank you so much for this podcast. I was slow to come to faith, and when I did buy a Bible I bought a cheap one so as to not waste money if I didn't find it relevant. But in the first 3 or 4 months I read it cover to cover finding it SO RELEVANT, and I do still today 35 years on. It is truly living, it is the voice of God and our access to it should hold us in awesome wonder, it should not gather dust. And no, it's not a rule book, it's perfect advice from our Heavenly Father, and how much we follow it reflects, as you say, how much we trust Him.
I see all of this and sense it within myself. This podcast is meant for me. Thank you. So much internet. So many opinions. Reset. I’m getting reset into what He says . My Teacher. I’m 75 , a caregiver and ready for what He has for me next.
Morning and evening I read my Bible and study, because I learn something different every time. Help me holy spirit not to ever give up on you. Lord thank you.
I pray that God brings his healing power into whatever this situation is. I pray God also bring you peace and comfort through this trying time . In Jesus name, amen
Yay!!!!!!!!! Im so excited about your podcasts, John! This first podcast of yours is a confirmation to me of our conversation last night in our home Bible study!! I just love how God speaks to me daily through these fantastic super cool ways!! ❤ i literally just expressed that i cannot stop being in the Word or spending time with God every day or else i know the currents of this world will quickly have me drift and slowly slip away from His presence. I know because i was one who never thought I'd fall away from the Lord, but oh how i was wrong! I did not count the cost and i did not stay alert and watch and pray. No More! I'm all in!! NO TURNING BACK! KEEPING MY EYES FIXED ON JESUS ❤
Protestantism & Catholicism/Pauline Christianity are Worship of God, that we have not seen(according to Jesus) are worst than cults..becuz these churches Worship God in a Temple made of Stones & of Wood....Jesus emphasized that we have to Worship God after the Destruction of the Temple that was built for 46 years in Jerusalem (70 AD), as told to the Samaritan woman..to Worship God in Spirit & in Truth only, a Worship of God in a Temple made of Gold and Prescious stones(Gemstones) and not in any churches made of Stones & of Wood....The Cube City or Temple with 12 Gates will arrive soon..so get READY..Jesus said Drink my Blood & Eat my Flesh to gain Eternal Life.
Praise the Lord! A podcast hosted by John Bevere! What a blessed surprise! Thanks guys! Praised and glorified be the Lord above everything and everyone in all areas of our lives! May God bless, keep, protect and use you all mightily everyone! 🙌❤️🔥🔥
I left the church decades ago. I'll never go back. I read the bible, pray, and worship privately. God is my salvation and I didn't need a priest or preacher to find Him and learn how to live my life. It's wrong to say that 30 million people who left the church are lost. The arrogance of this is astonishing.
Yes!!! I have tried to get my 25 yr old son to read his Bible & to plea to have Holy Spirit to teach him. He says he just understand what the Bible says.
@@Riversoflivingwater82 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1000% !! It is not just the Word or the Spirit, it must be both. If you are only in the Word, you dry up. Only in the Spirit, you blow up. ( witness the current abuses of prophesy . . . !) If you do both, you will grow up. The Spirit helps you understand the Word, and the Word helps you stay out of error as you walk in the Spirit.
I love John Bevere and his wife Lisa. Such a great man of God. Looks like his children are following in his footsteps as well. "Train up a child in the way they should go and when they're older they shall not depart from it"
I remember praying when I was 17 that I never wanted to be led astray. I can say that 30 years on and many challenges which could’ve taken me away from God cos life didn’t make sense, I remembered this and The Lord has held onto me. I can’t explain, but I know I made a covenant with Him that day. He is faithful.
John your zeal for God has ALWAYS inspired me and I thank the Lord Jesus for your commitment to setting a strong and very good example for those who aspire to follow Christ according to His Word. I pray that your enthusiasm will continue for many years to come.
Heartbreaking statistic. We need more discipleship within the body of Christ! Excited to see what this podcast can do it help further the kingdom! Blessings to you, Pastor John!
Discipleship only takes a student to the level of the teacher. BUT show me at least one teacher who is Christlike today. So if you disciple me to be like you, thanks but no thanks.
John met you and Lisa years in Hawaii at an Increase Event. Brian Klemmer and I wrote a book in 2011 God in the Boardroom: Why is Christianity Losing Market Share? Glad to see you have come to this realization. Starting programs to regain and expand Kingdom marketshare. Glad you're promoting.
Being part of a church is good as it builds the faith of the believer. Working on your own can make you isolated and depressed. I understand the problems that one encounters in the body of Christ but we are all humans and do have faults and failings. Being open without being rude, encouraging one another in love just like one would do with immediate family including relatives who sometimes can be irritating, helps.😊
I was raised in the middle of a family of twelve,even as a. Athic my parents shared with me their faith in the Trinity. I almost died of whopping cough as an infant,I was poisoned while neighborhood kids were playing doctor. I survived. I had gone down thirty feet skindiving,glad I met it to the surface,I started seeking after the Lord. I’m still thankful the Lord drew me to himself. I love the Lord,glad I’m a Christian,have a relationship with God. I think it may be hypocrisy that turns people away. Ever since I got saved as a teenager,I loved reading the promises in the scriptures. Mercy,Grace and Truth I have found . So thankful for true one
We need to pray adamently for the lost. Once you feel the presence of God this world becomes pointless. The walk isn't easy but those who persevere till the end.
We need to shed the light on darkness and expose the lies of the enemy. My heart breaks for these people. John I recently shared some of what I learned about the Leviathan spirit with my sibling who was struggling with addictions and there were lots of talks and I went into warfare for them, this past Sunday I am so thankful to say that they gave their life to Christ! It was such a beautiful Sunday! The whole congregation clapping and congratulating them 🙏❤️ God is so good, I just wanted to share this great news with you because you and your family have had a role in my walk with Christ. Thank you for being so transparent and shining the light for us to see. "Follow me as I follow Jesus" that's you and God bless your leading the sheep.
The Lord bless you & keep you. The Lord make His face Shine upon you & be Gracious to you. The Lord Lift up His Countenance upon you & Give you Peace. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💛💛💛
May the Lord bless you abundantly for doing this podcast. I'm always blessed by your teachings and your lovely wife Lisa. You're truly a blessing to the body of Christ
I love John Bevere. I have only been following you for months but the spiritual food you bring to my everyday life is such an incredible blessing. I am doing a connect group on your book the Awe of God because when you talk about the Holy fear of God I am blown away and want so many other to know so they can share with the world. You are truly a blessing from God. May God continues to grace you with these amazing teachings.
Great podcast! It’s so sad to see how many once believers have lost their faith and left the church. There’s a nonbeliever in my family who grew up in the church. He doesn’t seem to question God or His existence. He questions the obedience and authenticity of God’s children. It made me think of a quote by Brennan Manning. “The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” I was reminded that I need to not just read and meditate on God’s Word, but be a doer of the Word. Be obedient and ask God to open the eyes of my heart.
It is easy to attack Christians but if we look at the world there are worse things happening. Christians live in this fallen world and are trying hard every day. We get to listen to advice & warnings both in the church and outside of it. Why not be more kind and considerate to each other. Keep your eyes upon Jesus & you will not be bothered by what others say or do.
Thank you John. Ten minutes in I had to subscribe. My observation concerning Gen Z is that they have questions about God and Messiah that WE ARE NOT ANSWERING!
Our daughter did exactly the same- she professed faith and was involved very much in Church and studied theology for a few years. Then she turned away and now denies all that she seemed to believe in. She was not truly saved in the first place. It was a phase in her life.
I wonder, was your daughter a youth at the time? Because what I find is that the youth group don’t teach the true depth of the Word of God just the fun of being in a youth group . This statistic is alarming, 80% of all Christians in youth group will not return to church after they graduate high school and 98% will not return to church if they also go to college for four years. They are not grounded, in the faith. I’m sorry to hear about your daughter
God is raising up another new remnant. We are on fire 🔥. But this guy is telling the truth I backslid in that time. I'm came back to the faith in 2019, praise God. 👏🏽 I praise God for another chance. I never thought I would walk away as well. I was very active and loving. God flled with his true power of the holyghost. I stayed in a covering. I allowed my broken marriage and record label that tried to stop my release after we worked so hard. Jealously was the issue. I also trusted a friend with my music lyrics. He released the record without my permission and made huge money. Never offered me a dime. I was hurt because these were christians. I learned my lesson. Not to leave church because of the devil that works through people. I forgave these people years later.
The numbers are staggering and I pray God will reveal to me ways that I can contribute to the body to lift up other believers or people who are at risk of walking away. I love and subscribe to all the Beveres and apart of Messenger X and so appreciate the discipleship provided. God bless you guys! ❤
You are starting a podcast because you love the soul who once was saved but are no longer saved! God will bless you for it! God will reward you for it!
Haven’t lost my faith in Christ at all I go to a small house church instead of an organized, registered denominational church in a designated building. I realized during the c-sickness that the church had gone off track. There was too much focus on earthly things like money, and disputes over denominational issues. I think many have done the same thing.
The Bible says that in the last days there will be a falling away from the faith!! The prophecy is being fulfilled!! We need to be fervent in our relationship with Jesus. We must desire to have an experience with God and not just head knowledge!! I honestly believe that the personal supernatural experience of Jesus and a constant revelation of The Word of God will keep us in The Lord!!❤
Thank you pastors for your devotion to and passion for the Word and to loving God's people. I confirm that this is God's focus now: His living Word. He told me: 'If this is what God is saying, then this is what God is doing'.. and He is busy teaching me what it means. ❤❤❤
What exactly makes Christianity a religion and not a way of living a life of the Spirit with Christ Jesus, in God, is simply because a religion is observed with many different sets of rules and rituals. Whereas, being just a Believer makes fellowship easy and accessible with God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ the Son, by the enabling power of the Holy Spirit. Not in or of works of any kind by you, but by simply standing on His finished work of salvation on the cross of Calvary. Ephesians 2:8-9.
Doesn't matter you go to church or not but you should not disconnect from Jesus whether you feel or don't feel you should read the Bible regularly in a disciplined way even if you don't understand anything it will help you not to break the connection with God.
bless you for this response. many may leave their "church" because they found it no longer teaches and practices what god has written. the "church" has become apostate and god does command believers to leave. let us keep in mind though that we are commanded to be with his true assembly, the assembly who love the truth and live by them in faith. god promised he always has a remnant. let us prayerfully pursue to find his assembly and patiently have faith we will. i am a seeker myself.
It has to be an inner work of God! A regeneration. A true conversion in the soul and heart which can only be brought about By God. His saving grace. One has to be born again. Only God can do this. K
That's a cop out. There are many reasons that cause people to disconnect from religion. Some of us got tired of the scammers wearing angelic facades and preaching out of context. I'm more peaceful and joyful than when I sat in church. My connection to God and others is incredible now that I'm out of the toxic Pentecostal/Charismatic world.
Amen 🙏God has been so faithful to me i exalt his name now and everyday of my life. ☦️🙏❤ Awesome God ❤My family are happy once again and can now afford anything for my family even with my Retirement. $87k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.
I know that woman (Renee Marie Harrison) If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, she's my family's Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!!!
Godbless you brother.. This is the timeline I am watching for as well.. Thankyou for giving me hope again today!!!! The warfare has been unbearable and my body is broken..
God literally manifested through this podcast! so, am a teen from India..yesterday during the dawn i was praying and when i opened the word of God i stumbled upon a chapter from the book of bible i started to feel that this is just history and boring like what would that have to do with me and my situation then i started questioning if God was real cause i expected God to like talk verbally or send an angel to instruct me what to do in my situation and say that my prayers are answered and moreover am preparing of tough competitive exams so i considered it to be a time waste but this podcast opened my understanding that the word of God is God himself talking and its not just reading any other book but interacting and having fellowship with the creator...I understood its not a ritual but a relationship...thank God
Just remember communication is the key to any relationship, Talk to God, pray about everything, read his word and talk about Him with others. Just because we don't always hear him, feel him, in some cases see him He promises he will always be there.
I believe churches are not teaching the truth that we must walk out our salvation with fear and , trembling, and stop using Grace to have a license to sin and understand who God is and stop living in fairytale land by saying you do this you do that you give this you give that and you’ll get what you want from God .
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on JESUS, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.” Heb. 12:1-2
Came on time! I was reading my Bible this morning and I couldn't believe what the Psalmist said, "Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long." (Ps119:97) I was like, "Is this man for real? Who would love commands? Who would love to be commanded? When our parents command us to clean the house, etc, it's never fun." And this verse really made me think that maybe my love is cold or I am missing something. But in this podcast, I realized, yes I love God's commands (maybe not always emotionally, but I keep it close to my heart and do my best to renew my mind daily on the word).. because it is best for me. Sometimes, it is painful, but loving doesn't just mean feeling good, it is obeying, it is not drifting away from it. ❤
With tens of thousands of denominations, it's not hard to see why people leave. This division has crept into every part of America. If the faith that you have is personal and is based on personal biblical interpretation, then your children will inevitably meet others who's faith not only contradicts what they have learned, and internally rebel.
Love to see the excitement for Gods word after all these 🎉and to see the passing down the love for Gods word to his son is a beautiful sight! May God continue to Bless The Bevere family ❤
We're not leaving the Faith we're leaving the arena of wolves in sheep's clothing for they say they care and love you but they will not lift a finger to help you and we're tired of their sermons. WE WANT TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD BY HIS WORD AND NOT THE PASTORS WHO GIVE THEIR OWN WORDS, THIS IS WHY !!! 💔✝️❤️🩹 SELAH SHALOM AMEN 🥲 AMEN
Praise God! Thank you so much for your faithful teaching of God's Word! I'm also being changed by your book " The Awe of God" it has meant so much to me I passed it on to a homeless minister who's studying it with other Christians in the shelter. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ALL God's WORD will go and how many people will be brought to and back into the kingdom. God's richest blessings on this beautiful ministry of you and all your family!
Thank you for this, I needed to hear this and continue to nurture my relationship with God and fellowship more with saints. Currently studying on creativity but also will start a study on Job, I am excited.
You gave me a ride hitchhiking, from Chattanooga to Cleveland, back in 1984 - believe it was. Gave me a cassette tape, sayin' that when you were "lost", you were walking streets with blue jeans on, seeking after "free love" - before you came to Christ 🙏. 👍. Yeah. This is an old friend, Danny. Long time no see🎉.
It is interesting that the percent of people leaving is closer to the number of believers who read the Bible regularly not those who don’t. Many say the biggest factor in them leaving the faith was actually reading the entire Bible. I wonder in the study which group the ones who lost faith came from, those who read or those who did not read the Bible. I noticed this was not mentioned.
John and Arden thanks for the for the word. You are both a Blessing....If you do not start or give the first of your day to God Satan will keep you BZ and keep you from the Word / study and Prayer times. If we are the temple of God then we need the bread of Life, we need the alter of prayer and we need the illumination and revelation of Gods Light Menorah described in the temple to reveal His word. ELMorales blessings
I agree. I believe people stopped being in God's word and hungering and thirsting for Him. I'm so thankful to beling to a church that constantly reminds us to be in His word ourselves. 1 or 2 days in not enough.
Awesome!! Everything you talked about is such a confirmation of what the Lord has put in my heart ❤️ also! Thank you for being obedient to God in doing this! I am richly encouraged and blessed by this conversation. And Arden, I am grateful for your presence and input as my sons and daughters are your age also... your perspective keeps my heart hopeful and encouraged that the Lord is continuing his work in them as they grow in the Lord. Blessings to you both
This was so good and was so beneficial to me. It inspired me to pick up my Bible. Great explanations, facts, scriptures…just Wow! Definitely felt the presence of the Lord. I’m looking forward to listening to more episodes. 🙏🏾 ❤
I think too that when people first start to get involved with a church and praying, reading their bibles, going to gatherings (I’m talking mainly young adults here), it’s a lot about the feeling, the emotions, the “moving of the Holy Spirit” which is appropriate and definitely important don’t get me wrong, but we can’t forget that the same God that we feel his presence so evident at times, is the same God who is with us so near when things feel like a desert, dry, with no motivation to pray or read the Word or gather with other believers, and that the move of the Holy Spirit is so beautiful even in the what we call dry seasons and that’s why it is written “my righteous will live by faith”, it’s by faith yall, it’s grace through faith, the grace God so lovingly pours out on us continuously when in our “dry” seasons, and the grace that encourages us to get back on the track on faith that is so pleasing to him. Don’t give up when times get hard, keep pressing in, keep seeking God, keep praying, He is near. It is written.
This is exactly what I think. The dry season is when ppl think God doesn't exist for them. Especially when that dry period is long or ongoing. Discouragement is what the enemy feeds off of a believer
The life of the spirit is so important in order to walk with the Lord because his word is Spirit and Life !! I’m from South America and I saw what really life looks like in the natural but what really happened is the result what happened in the spiritual first My life has been changed when I learned to obey and become a doer of his word for me is a great honor and privilege to be mentor through this wonderful powerful Ministry for the life’s of them who are an example in the kingdom of God Los amamos preciosa Familia Bevere están sembrando en el Reino De Dios con perspectiva Eterna ❤❤
If the Holy Spirit lives in you, you will be unable to escape. Yet, "let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first. . ." 2Thes 2:3.
2peter1 If any scripture needs to be emphasized after one is born again it's right here. I keep going back to this chapter. After coming to the knowledge of God one needs to grow in grace and in that knowledge adding to our faith these things mentioned that we may be fruitful, Peter reminds us constantly even though we think we know it already, we must attend to this word keep it in the midst of our hearts.
How do you keep yourself from drifting in your relationship with God?
The fear of the Lord. I fear being away from Him. You have made that statement before. We are in the last of the last days.
Study the Word with the Author on a daily basis.
I remember all the times God manifested Himself in my life. Remembering the sweet presence of Jesus in my life is a constant reminder of how real He is, and I also am fearful of being apart from Him. When I sense myself drifting I come back to the basics because I missed something along the way.
I’ve e been struggling so fiercely with anger and self harm and I am drifting away from God. I don’t want to be caught up in the world anymore and I want delivered so I can know who I am and whose I am and overcome my demons. Will your podcast be able to help me? I am a mess and broke and need fixed yet I have no one I feel safe enough to trus. Let alone to help me get free and whole. I am going to ask Jesus to make me better and do my best to trust him. I’m terrified to trust. I will do my best though
Godly sorrow leads to repentance. Earthly sorrow produces death in spirit and worst the body and soul.
“If you don’t consciously pursue God, you will eventually start flowing with the current of this world.”
In other words, if you don't keep deluding yourself, you will start living in reality.
@@reformCopyrightYou’re exactly right. Completely delusional.
@@reformCopyright “Consciously pursue God” aka make yourself believe something in your head that’s not true in reality.
If the foundation of the faith is wobbly and not strong, we will become delusional and leave the faith. The bible says that when we are only hearers of the Word and not doers of the Word, we not only deceives ourselves but also are actually building a house on the sand. When the storms of life appear and hit the house, the house would collapse with a great crash. Secondly, we need to have our minds renewed daily through the reading of God's Word in order that our thought process and our opinions are in line with God's Word. We need to align our mind with the mind of Christ. Thirdly, leaders have been preaching a gospel that is not the gospel of Christ. They preach a gospel that appeals and appease to the flesh but does nothing to build the Spirit. The bible calls these gospel unsound doctrines or "doctrines of demons". Those with itching ears would love to hear such gospel. They are feel good messages that makes listeners feel good about themselves but do not edify the Spirit. It does not build the Spirit man. These believers are building their faith on the wrong gospel. Their are building on a wrong foundation. One day it will shipwreck their faith. We are already living in the last days. The bible says there will be a great falling away of Christians around the world. Christian believers are attacked by the enemy like never before! The Lord is returning!
@@gohsenglin4486 Not quite. I think the correct word is "disillusioned", when you figure out that there's basically no truth in the Bible and you've only assumed that it's the truth, probably because someone you trust said that it is.
I've actually seen more spiritual awakenings in recent years than I have for decades. I feel like God is moving.
As much as there is a move of God, there's an equal move by enemy where people in the church are showing fruits which are not of the spirit
Awakening to Jesus' SAVING GRACE is the true Great Awakening.
Agreed. Many churches are growing and I've seen people over 50 coming to Christianity as well as a lot of young people. This guy is wrong.
@@citytrees1752 jesus has warned that many will choose the wide gate and will be led to their destruction. so, it is not growth that is of primary importance here. it is that what is being taught is fully grounded in the written word of god and that this is being practiced in faith.
I was saved about 3 weeks ago now, and I have the same feeling. I can now notice all of the people who have actually awoken within even just the past few years all around me and hidden throughout the media that I never even noticed before.
NEVER give up on God.
He never gave up on you.
He is worthy of it all.
How do you know?
@@reformCopyright Give God a shot 😊 , keep an open and sceptical mind in finding out who God is ..never know what it will lead you into …Peace ❤ 😊
@@andyshu85 Being skeptical, while open-minded, means looking for actual evidence. God is welcome to provide that evidence whenever he wants. If he exists, he will know what evidence will convince me.
@@reformCopyright The thing about God and humans is that we are meant to please him, not the other way around. Nothing separates us from him faster than haughtiness and pride.
@@reformCopyright so glad and encouraged that you are keeping an open minded approach to this. Best is yet to come ❤️.
yeah, i am one of those who walked away from the church, however, not from my faith...the church has gone wild with politics thinking they are pleasing God. I love God and after 4 years of not going to "a church" and just streaming online church from preachers i considered not-MAGA and still biblically tuned with the Kingdom of Heaven, I felt God telling me it's time to go back. It's time to stop the tantrum. Time to forgive and trust and obey me. It's been hard. I've been struggling with relating with other believers I fellowshiped with. It's not the same, but I know it's God's will that we all return, and people who left the church, are returning. We need grace.
The Western Church is very different from many churches around the world, and definitely different from the early church. Many services have become little more than a mini concert followed by a TED talk with three scriptures interjected. There's very little biblical exegesis in a lot of Western churches unfortunately. Many sermons focus primarily on improving the quality of our lives, when Jesus clearly instructed us to take up our cross (die to self) and follow Him. There's definitely some contradictions going on between those two mindsets.
The devil wants to lsolate people , so he can have his way with them, in deception+ lt is not the same, being lsolated from worship of others that brings his spirit.! I know lt is hard , during the week , that is where we really need god's help , but even lsreal 's jews meet on the weekends. We are not meant to be alone, we need balance, besides the n.t. bible says fail not to assemble yourselves together , as the manner of some is. You can " loose- out with god, being lsolated. I, at the moment wish there were more church serves in revival !!!!!❤😅😊
We need more of a hunger for god , in our lives. The dog, you feed, is the one that wins. A diet of tv. Other people's oppinions, a lot of news, wears away our minds. Read the bible, and pray have family over,, etc. This is the way jews have some joy, the joy of the lord is my strenghth!❤😅😊😊😊❤
@@judystaab7126Just like God has his way with a virginal bride before her husband could clap her cheeks. God laid with Mary and knocked her up. He coveted Joseph’s bride and took her. God broke his own commandments. Leave the devil out of this!
One thing is clear! The bible says in the last days, there will be a great falling away of christian believers! We are living in such times! One of the reason is that the gospel preached is not the gospel that Jesus preached. Leaders are preaching a watered down gospel just to attract the people into the kingdom. Leaders are preaching a different gospel that Jesus preached. These are unsound doctrines that the bible calls "The doctrines of demons". With itching ears, these believers embraces these teachings. Also, many are drawn to feel good messages that they leave the church feeling good about themselves. The message appeals and appeases to their flesh but it doesn't feed the Spirit. So, there is no true transformation of Christ like character. When a false gospel is preached, it will be a false conversation into Christianity; it will be a false repentance; it will be a false transformation; they will become false followers of Christ. They are the goats. They are the tares. Their christian foundation is flawed. Their foundation is built upon the sand not upon the rock. Also, there are many who starts off well but do not end well. These are believers who are genuinely believing in Jesus and have turned away from Him. They are like a dog going back to its vomit. They are like a sow going to the mud and wallow in it again. They have tasted the goodness of God but turn away from Him. How frightful it will be on the day of judgement!!!
Whatever faith I had before 2010; perhaps a "form of godliness, that denies the power of God", was insufficient to keep me from Agnosticism. I found myself in a very dark place.
I've got good news. In 2010, JESUS got a hold of me. Today I am on fire.
Would love to hear your testimony!
Amen brother🙏🏼
Rather: you're Spirit filled. Fire is for chaff...
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to move on, I really loved her so much i can't stop thinking about her and the memories we shared. I've tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail. I'm frustrated, and i don't see my life with anyone else. I've done my best to get rid of the thoughts, but i can't. I don't know why I'm saying this here, but i really miss her and i wish i could get her back.
have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about three years ago, but i could not let her go. So i had to do all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back. We are back together, and i must say i am enjoying every moment.
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach her?
Her name is queen stella laveaux, and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive
Be still and wait on the Lord. If you use your strength or other means to get her back, you might miss why God permitted it- if you're a believer in Christ Jesus, if not, still go to Him and tell it all to Him, asking the Holy Spirit to help. Believe, and you will eventually have the grace to praise Him. Romans 8. It's painful now, and it may continue to be, but if you place your love for God above your love for her, she will stop being an idol in your heart and you will stop hurting. So, dare lift up your hands and praise God as you are now, and not wait until you see the end of your faith, just believe because He loves you and He is Faithful and True. Hebrews 11:1.
You cannot love anyone above God! He is a Jealous God. He may bring her back if you show that God is above her.
Satan has whispered in my ear that I was going to be a statistic and leave the faith. I however took authority over this but I am so glad that you did this podcast.
Brother John ! You are spot on!!! During Covid I began listening to true men and women of God who fear God, reverence His Word and who love holiness. Digging into the Word is more important than we we realize! We also need to be taught how precious seeking God’s presence is! Being a student who closely adheres to the life of his teacher is critical! Being in love with Jesus is an adventure every day!!!!
As I was reading from "The Awe of God" I heard the Holy Spirit say to listen to John Bevere when I walk my dog. I pulled up your TH-cam page and saw that you had recently started this podcast. I'm very thankful for the great truths that I heard you and your son discuss here... It's going on my "go to" podcast list for sure!
Love that!
Help us Jesus to be a light in this dark world!
Grew up in a christian family but needed a personal relationships to Jesus.
The book "driven by eternity" was a trigger God used to talk to me and bring me closer to Him.
I realised that my life needed to be driven by eternity and decided to ask God to give me a perspective of Eternity where He lives and where I want to be also!
Thank you so much for this podcast. I was slow to come to faith, and when I did buy a Bible I bought a cheap one so as to not waste money if I didn't find it relevant. But in the first 3 or 4 months I read it cover to cover finding it SO RELEVANT, and I do still today 35 years on. It is truly living, it is the voice of God and our access to it should hold us in awesome wonder, it should not gather dust. And no, it's not a rule book, it's perfect advice from our Heavenly Father, and how much we follow it reflects, as you say, how much we trust Him.
I see all of this and sense it within myself. This podcast is meant for me. Thank you. So much internet. So many opinions. Reset. I’m getting reset into what He says . My Teacher. I’m 75 , a caregiver and ready for what He has for me next.
Morning and evening I read my Bible and study, because I learn something different every time. Help me holy spirit not to ever give up on you. Lord thank you.
PLEASE SIR, COULD YOU PRAY FOR ALLEN HE'S IN THE HOSPITAL 🏥
GOD BLESS YOU.
I pray that God brings his healing power into whatever this situation is.
I pray God also bring you peace and comfort through this trying time .
In Jesus name, amen
Yay!!!!!!!!! Im so excited about your podcasts, John! This first podcast of yours is a confirmation to me of our conversation last night in our home Bible study!! I just love how God speaks to me daily through these fantastic super cool ways!! ❤ i literally just expressed that i cannot stop being in the Word or spending time with God every day or else i know the currents of this world will quickly have me drift and slowly slip away from His presence. I know because i was one who never thought I'd fall away from the Lord, but oh how i was wrong! I did not count the cost and i did not stay alert and watch and pray. No More! I'm all in!! NO TURNING BACK! KEEPING MY EYES FIXED ON JESUS ❤
Protestantism & Catholicism/Pauline Christianity are Worship of God, that we have not seen(according to Jesus) are worst than cults..becuz these churches Worship God in a Temple made of Stones & of Wood....Jesus emphasized that we have to Worship God after the Destruction of the Temple that was built for 46 years in Jerusalem (70 AD), as told to the Samaritan woman..to Worship God in Spirit & in Truth only, a Worship of God in a Temple made of Gold and Prescious stones(Gemstones) and not in any churches made of Stones & of Wood....The Cube City or Temple with 12 Gates will arrive soon..so get READY..Jesus said Drink my Blood & Eat my Flesh to gain Eternal Life.
Praise the Lord! A podcast hosted by John Bevere! What a blessed surprise! Thanks guys! Praised and glorified be the Lord above everything and everyone in all areas of our lives! May God bless, keep, protect and use you all mightily everyone! 🙌❤️🔥🔥
I left the church decades ago. I'll never go back. I read the bible, pray, and worship privately. God is my salvation and I didn't need a priest or preacher to find Him and learn how to live my life. It's wrong to say that 30 million people who left the church are lost. The arrogance of this is astonishing.
Agreed!
Exactly, they want to keep people under control and manipulation. Been there, never again !
Yes!!! I have tried to get my 25 yr old son to read his Bible & to plea to have Holy Spirit to teach him. He says he just understand what the Bible says.
We need the baptism of the Holy Spirit ❤💥🔥
No we need the word of God.
@@stuntdouble777 We need both
@@Riversoflivingwater82 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1000% !! It is not just the Word or the Spirit, it must be both. If you are only in the Word, you dry up. Only in the Spirit, you blow up. ( witness the current abuses of prophesy . . . !) If you do both, you will grow up. The Spirit helps you understand the Word, and the Word helps you stay out of error as you walk in the Spirit.
Ask for daily infilling and leading of the Holy Spirit. Believe and receive it, and be obedient to His promptings.
He has already been sent. Ask.
John 14:16-26; Luke 11:13; Acts 1:5,8.
I love John Bevere and his wife Lisa. Such a great man of God. Looks like his children are following in his footsteps as well. "Train up a child in the way they should go and when they're older they shall not depart from it"
So many are leaving the faith because of teaching/doctrine like yours John! Especially Driven by Eternity series, Bait of Satan.
Thank you John you have revived my bible reading
Wonderful!
I remember praying when I was 17 that I never wanted to be led astray. I can say that 30 years on and many challenges which could’ve taken me away from God cos life didn’t make sense, I remembered this and The Lord has held onto me. I can’t explain, but I know I made a covenant with Him that day. He is faithful.
John your zeal for God has ALWAYS inspired me and I thank the Lord Jesus for your commitment to setting a strong and very good example for those who aspire to follow Christ according to His Word. I pray that your enthusiasm will continue for many years to come.
I hope and pray that the Lord will raise up churches that will draw people closer to Him Amen 🙏🏽
Heartbreaking statistic. We need more discipleship within the body of Christ! Excited to see what this podcast can do it help further the kingdom! Blessings to you, Pastor John!
Discipleship, yes!
Discipleship only takes a student to the level of the teacher. BUT show me at least one teacher who is Christlike today. So if you disciple me to be like you, thanks but no thanks.
John met you and Lisa years in Hawaii at an Increase Event. Brian Klemmer and I wrote a book in 2011 God in the Boardroom: Why is Christianity Losing Market Share? Glad to see you have come to this realization. Starting programs to regain and expand Kingdom marketshare. Glad you're promoting.
I Love You Father I Love You Holy Spirit I Love You Jesus Jesus is the LORD
I love this! 👏 Thank You Jesus! Bravo sir John Bevere.. 🙏👏💗
I have Christ within me therefore I am a Christian
What does that mean?
Being part of a church is good as it builds the faith of the believer. Working on your own can make you isolated and depressed. I understand the problems that one encounters in the body of Christ but we are all humans and do have faults and failings. Being open without being rude, encouraging one another in love just like one would do with immediate family including relatives who sometimes can be irritating, helps.😊
really?
@@gretaaarons4941 Being part of a community is usually good for you, yes, but it doesn't have to be a religious community.
I was raised in the middle of a family of twelve,even as a. Athic my parents shared with me their faith in the Trinity. I almost died of whopping cough as an infant,I was poisoned while neighborhood kids were playing doctor. I survived. I had gone down thirty feet skindiving,glad I met it to the surface,I started seeking after the Lord. I’m still thankful the Lord drew me to himself. I love the Lord,glad I’m a Christian,have a relationship with God. I think it may be hypocrisy that turns people away. Ever since I got saved as a teenager,I loved reading the promises in the scriptures. Mercy,Grace and Truth I have found . So thankful for true one
We need to pray adamently for the lost. Once you feel the presence of God this world becomes pointless. The walk isn't easy but those who persevere till the end.
Let’s go! Glad you’re doing this podcast! It’s time! Bold truth!
❤ Thank you Lord!
We love how you make the scriptures come alive! Most of all we love your transparency with your wife, sons and the Body of Christ!!!
We need to shed the light on darkness and expose the lies of the enemy. My heart breaks for these people. John I recently shared some of what I learned about the Leviathan spirit with my sibling who was struggling with addictions and there were lots of talks and I went into warfare for them, this past Sunday I am so thankful to say that they gave their life to Christ! It was such a beautiful Sunday! The whole congregation clapping and congratulating them 🙏❤️ God is so good, I just wanted to share this great news with you because you and your family have had a role in my walk with Christ. Thank you for being so transparent and shining the light for us to see. "Follow me as I follow Jesus" that's you and God bless your leading the sheep.
The Lord bless you & keep you. The Lord make His face Shine upon you & be Gracious to you. The Lord Lift up His Countenance upon you & Give you Peace. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💛💛💛
Such a needed message, especially in today's western church culture. Thank you brother John.
May the Lord bless you abundantly for doing this podcast. I'm always blessed by your teachings and your lovely wife Lisa. You're truly a blessing to the body of Christ
As for me and my house we will serve the Lord
I love John Bevere. I have only been following you for months but the spiritual food you bring to my everyday life is such an incredible blessing. I am doing a connect group on your book the Awe of God because when you talk about the Holy fear of God I am blown away and want so many other to know so they can share with the world. You are truly a blessing from God. May God continues to grace you with these amazing teachings.
Great podcast! It’s so sad to see how many once believers have lost their faith and left the church. There’s a nonbeliever in my family who grew up in the church. He doesn’t seem to question God or His existence. He questions the obedience and authenticity of God’s children. It made me think of a quote by Brennan Manning. “The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.”
I was reminded that I need to not just read and meditate on God’s Word, but be a doer of the Word. Be obedient and ask God to open the eyes of my heart.
It is easy to attack Christians but if we look at the world there are worse things happening. Christians live in this fallen world and are trying hard every day. We get to listen to advice & warnings both in the church and outside of it. Why not be more kind and considerate to each other. Keep your eyes upon Jesus & you will not be bothered by what others say or do.
Pray for those in authority.
Thank you John. Ten minutes in I had to subscribe. My observation concerning Gen Z is that they have questions about God and Messiah that WE ARE NOT ANSWERING!
I can’t wait!!!!!
Our daughter did exactly the same- she professed faith and was involved very much in Church and studied theology for a few years. Then she turned away and now denies all that she seemed to believe in. She was not truly saved in the first place. It was a phase in her life.
I wonder, was your daughter a youth at the time?
Because what I find is that the youth group don’t teach the true depth of the Word of God just the fun of being in a youth group .
This statistic is alarming, 80% of all Christians in youth group will not return to church after they graduate high school and 98% will not return to church if they also go to college for four years.
They are not grounded, in the faith.
I’m sorry to hear about your daughter
God is raising up another new remnant. We are on fire 🔥. But this guy is telling the truth
I backslid in that time. I'm came back to the faith in 2019, praise God. 👏🏽 I praise God for another chance. I never thought I would walk away as well. I was very active and loving. God flled with his true power of the holyghost. I stayed in a covering. I allowed my broken marriage and record label that tried to stop my release after we worked so hard. Jealously was the issue. I also trusted a friend with my music lyrics. He released the record without my permission and made huge money. Never offered me a dime. I was hurt because these were christians. I learned my lesson. Not to leave church because of the devil that works through people. I forgave these people years later.
Sincere thank you for this guys! I definitely experienced His presence and a renewed desire to know Him through the Bible. Blessings!
I left the church, but my faith grow stronger.
The numbers are staggering and I pray God will reveal to me ways that I can contribute to the body to lift up other believers or people who are at risk of walking away. I love and subscribe to all the Beveres and apart of Messenger X and so appreciate the discipleship provided. God bless you guys! ❤
I agree must read the Bible in the spirit
Yes Sprit and the Truth
Just began to watch on replay. I'm sure you will define 'walking away from the faith' vs just being unchurched and quit about their faith.
You are starting a podcast because you love the soul who once was saved but are no longer saved! God will bless you for it! God will reward you for it!
No one truly saved can become unsaved. Once you are born again, you can’t become ‘unborn again’. Anyone who left the faith was never truly saved.
Haven’t lost my faith in Christ at all I go to a small house church instead of an organized, registered denominational church in a designated building. I realized during the c-sickness that the church had gone off track. There was too much focus on earthly things like money, and disputes over denominational issues. I think many have done the same thing.
The Bible says that in the last days there will be a falling away from the faith!!
The prophecy is being fulfilled!!
We need to be fervent in our relationship with Jesus.
We must desire to have an experience with God and not just head knowledge!!
I honestly believe that the personal supernatural experience of Jesus and a constant revelation of The Word of God will keep us in The Lord!!❤
Thank you pastors for your devotion to and passion for the Word and to loving God's people. I confirm that this is God's focus now: His living Word.
He told me:
'If this is what God is saying, then this is what God is doing'.. and He is busy teaching me what it means. ❤❤❤
Just because someone stops attending church doesn’t mean they also ended their relationship with God.
What exactly makes Christianity a religion and not a way of living a life of the Spirit with Christ Jesus, in God, is simply because a religion is observed with many different sets of rules and rituals. Whereas, being just a Believer makes fellowship easy and accessible with God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ the Son, by the enabling power of the Holy Spirit. Not in or of works of any kind by you, but by simply standing on His finished work of salvation on the cross of Calvary. Ephesians 2:8-9.
Doesn't matter you go to church or not but you should not disconnect from Jesus whether you feel or don't feel you should read the Bible regularly in a disciplined way even if you don't understand anything it will help you not to break the connection with God.
bless you for this response. many may leave their "church" because they found it no longer teaches and practices what god has written. the "church" has become apostate and god does command believers to leave. let us keep in mind though that we are commanded to be with his true assembly, the assembly who love the truth and live by them in faith. god promised he always has a remnant. let us prayerfully pursue to find his assembly and patiently have faith we will. i am a seeker myself.
They go hand in hand it is obédiences
@@christianedesbois1317
The era for church congregations is fast closing.
I Love You Holy Spirit I Love You Jesus I Love You Father Jesus is the LORD
Because they never believed in the first place. Their unbelief outweighed their faith. Full surrender-that’s what’s commanded.
It has to be an inner work of God! A regeneration. A true conversion in the soul and heart which can only be brought about By God. His saving grace. One has to be born again. Only God can do this. K
That's a cop out. There are many reasons that cause people to disconnect from religion. Some of us got tired of the scammers wearing angelic facades and preaching out of context. I'm more peaceful and joyful than when I sat in church. My connection to God and others is incredible now that I'm out of the toxic Pentecostal/Charismatic world.
Thank you so much 🙏 God bless you 🙏 I'm from Germany and I appreciate your work for the kingdom🙏
Thank you to the whole Bevere family 🙏🥰🙏
Amen 🙏God has been so faithful to me i exalt his name now and everyday of my life. ☦️🙏❤ Awesome God ❤My family are happy once again and can now afford anything for my family even with my Retirement. $87k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.

Godbless you brother.. This is the timeline I am watching for as well.. Thankyou for giving me hope again today!!!! The warfare has been unbearable and my body is broken..
POWERFUL!!!!
God literally manifested through this podcast! so, am a teen from India..yesterday during the dawn i was praying and when i opened the word of God i stumbled upon a chapter from the book of bible i started to feel that this is just history and boring like what would that have to do with me and my situation then i started questioning if God was real cause i expected God to like talk verbally or send an angel to instruct me what to do in my situation and say that my prayers are answered and moreover am preparing of tough competitive exams so i considered it to be a time waste but this podcast opened my understanding that the word of God is God himself talking and its not just reading any other book but interacting and having fellowship with the creator...I understood its not a ritual but a relationship...thank God
Just remember communication is the key to any relationship, Talk to God, pray about everything, read his word and talk about Him with others. Just because we don't always hear him, feel him, in some cases see him He promises he will always be there.
I believe churches are not teaching the truth that we must walk out our salvation with fear and , trembling, and stop using Grace to have a license to sin and understand who God is and stop living in fairytale land by saying you do this you do that you give this you give that and you’ll get what you want from God .
Amen!! I believe the number one thing is the lack of the fear of the Lord in churches! Prosperity gospel is cancerous and a doctrine of demons!
Thank you, John Bevere! You and Lisa have blessed our family with your teaching for many years.
This is so awesome! Excited for John's new podcast and for the wisdom he has to share!
This was amazing. Eye opening. Thank You Holy Spirit 🙏🏾
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up.
And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
We do this by keeping our eyes on JESUS, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.”
Heb. 12:1-2
Came on time!
I was reading my Bible this morning and I couldn't believe what the Psalmist said,
"Oh, how I love your instructions!
I think about them all day long." (Ps119:97)
I was like, "Is this man for real? Who would love commands? Who would love to be commanded? When our parents command us to clean the house, etc, it's never fun."
And this verse really made me think that maybe my love is cold or I am missing something.
But in this podcast, I realized, yes I love God's commands (maybe not always emotionally, but I keep it close to my heart and do my best to renew my mind daily on the word).. because it is best for me. Sometimes, it is painful, but loving doesn't just mean feeling good, it is obeying, it is not drifting away from it. ❤
Thank you for this teaching. Blessings to everyone🌈🌈🌈
Thank you John.
So blessed by this podcast.
A timely message.
Our only anchor is the Word of God that will keep us from drifting. God bless you.
With tens of thousands of denominations, it's not hard to see why people leave. This division has crept into every part of America. If the faith that you have is personal and is based on personal biblical interpretation, then your children will inevitably meet others who's faith not only contradicts what they have learned, and internally rebel.
Love to see the excitement for Gods word after all these 🎉and to see the passing down the love for Gods word to his son is a beautiful sight! May God continue to Bless The Bevere family ❤
We're not leaving the Faith we're leaving the arena of wolves in sheep's clothing for they say they care and love you but they will not lift a finger to help you and we're tired of their sermons. WE WANT TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD BY HIS WORD AND NOT THE PASTORS WHO GIVE THEIR OWN WORDS, THIS IS WHY !!! 💔✝️❤️🩹 SELAH SHALOM AMEN 🥲 AMEN
God is all in all!! He is infinite ♾️
Praise God! Thank you so much for your faithful teaching of God's Word! I'm also being changed by your book " The Awe of God" it has meant so much to me I passed it on to a homeless minister who's studying it with other Christians in the shelter. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ALL God's WORD will go and how many people will be brought to and back into the kingdom. God's richest blessings on this beautiful ministry of you and all your family!
Thank you for this, I needed to hear this and continue to nurture my relationship with God and fellowship more with saints. Currently studying on creativity but also will start a study on Job, I am excited.
You gave me a ride hitchhiking, from Chattanooga to Cleveland, back in 1984 - believe it was. Gave me a cassette tape, sayin' that when you were "lost", you were walking streets with blue jeans on, seeking after "free love" - before you came to Christ 🙏. 👍. Yeah. This is an old friend, Danny.
Long time no see🎉.
It is interesting that the percent of people leaving is closer to the number of believers who read the Bible regularly not those who don’t. Many say the biggest factor in them leaving the faith was actually reading the entire Bible. I wonder in the study which group the ones who lost faith came from, those who read or those who did not read the Bible. I noticed this was not mentioned.
I so appreciate this podcast! Thank you 🙏🏻 Blessings from TX.
This message is a confirmation for me ! Thank you! God bless! 🔥🔥🔥✝️
Amen!

This was totally excellent! So true.
John and Arden thanks for the for the word. You are both a Blessing....If you do not start or give the first of your day to God Satan will keep you BZ and keep you from the Word / study and Prayer times. If we are the temple of God then we need the bread of Life, we need the alter of prayer and we need the illumination and revelation of Gods Light Menorah described in the temple to reveal His word.

I agree. I believe people stopped being in God's word and hungering and thirsting for Him. I'm so thankful to beling to a church that constantly reminds us to be in His word ourselves. 1 or 2 days in not enough.

This was an excellent program. Thank you for doing this and posting it.
Awesome!! Everything you talked about is such a confirmation of what the Lord has put in my heart ❤️ also! Thank you for being obedient to God in doing this! I am richly encouraged and blessed by this conversation. And Arden, I am grateful for your presence and input as my sons and daughters are your age also... your perspective keeps my heart hopeful and encouraged that the Lord is continuing his work in them as they grow in the Lord. Blessings to you both
We are SO excited for this Podcast, JB!
Thank you so so much for this podcast! It has reignited a flame of passion for the word 🔥❤
This was so good and was so beneficial to me. It inspired me to pick up my Bible. Great explanations, facts, scriptures…just Wow! Definitely felt the presence of the Lord. I’m looking forward to listening to more episodes. 🙏🏾 ❤
I think too that when people first start to get involved with a church and praying, reading their bibles, going to gatherings (I’m talking mainly young adults here), it’s a lot about the feeling, the emotions, the “moving of the Holy Spirit” which is appropriate and definitely important don’t get me wrong, but we can’t forget that the same God that we feel his presence so evident at times, is the same God who is with us so near when things feel like a desert, dry, with no motivation to pray or read the Word or gather with other believers, and that the move of the Holy Spirit is so beautiful even in the what we call dry seasons and that’s why it is written “my righteous will live by faith”, it’s by faith yall, it’s grace through faith, the grace God so lovingly pours out on us continuously when in our “dry” seasons, and the grace that encourages us to get back on the track on faith that is so pleasing to him. Don’t give up when times get hard, keep pressing in, keep seeking God, keep praying, He is near. It is written.
This is exactly what I think. The dry season is when ppl think God doesn't exist for them. Especially when that dry period is long or ongoing. Discouragement is what the enemy feeds off of a believer
The life of the spirit is so important in order to walk with the Lord because his word is Spirit and Life !!
I’m from South America and I saw what really life looks like in the natural but what really happened is the result what happened in the spiritual first
My life has been changed when I learned to obey and become a doer of his word for me is a great honor and privilege to be mentor through this wonderful powerful Ministry for the life’s of them who are an example in the kingdom of God

If the Holy Spirit lives in you, you will be unable to escape. Yet, "let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first. . ." 2Thes 2:3.
2peter1 If any scripture needs to be emphasized after one is born again it's right here.
I keep going back to this chapter. After coming to the knowledge of God one needs to grow in grace and in that knowledge adding to our faith these things mentioned that we may be fruitful, Peter reminds us constantly even though we think we know it already, we must attend to this word keep it in the midst of our hearts.
YES AND AMEN in 2024
