33:30 - Self-appointment for Ministry happened in the OT, and in the NT. One common aspect that denotes the both is that individuals choose man's will over God's will. OT self-appointment was based on earthly heritage, and other attributes, whilst in Jesus time, it was a based around political groups in Jerusalem (pharisees & sanhedrin). Today, we can see self appointment occurring at our churches and by church organisations. Appointment for ministry should be spiritually guided by the Holy Spirit and not done hastily. 1 Timothy 5,22 (AMP) Do not hurry to lay hands on anyone [ordaining and approving someone for ministry or an office in the church, or in reinstating expelled offenders], and thereby share in the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin.
Thank you for sharing not only the what but the how. As a believer I am sad that other believers see the need to attack and label ministers and ministries. Information is not always redemptive. But prayer from a humble place is always redemptive. There is no such gifting as a self appointed church critic.
Numbers don’t mean success! This is so powerful. God may my success be in the lives impacted out of my obedience to you. Lord may my focus be on you and walking as you direct. Lord search my heart and remove all selfish motives and replace and fill with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit- guide me. Lord give me eyes to see and ears to hear. Lord set me apart. Lord I only want you have for me. Lord if you are not in it remove me because my life is dependent on you. God send me.
There is a difference between thoughts and intents of the heart (Heb. 4:12). We can have the correct intension but our thoughts betray us because it is contrary to the word of God (Gal. 5:17). Many preachers, prophets, teachers, laymen start off with the right intension but soon are led astray by their own lust of power, greed, fame, recognition and pride (which Satan exploits). They may never of had pure motives, difficult to say, their fruit will bear witness however it may take time to recognize the fruit as being good or bad. One of my favorite books by John Bevere is "Thus Saith The Lord". It doesn't get as much accolades as his other books, probably because of the subject matter, but nonetheless a great book. I really appreciate John Bevere's ministry I have learned so much from him.

This is encouraging, I’ve recently had an angel of light come to me in a trance and tell me that I was going to die with a voice I thought was a messenger from God. This drove me to depression and fear but after sometime realized that this wasn’t from God, either way Romans 14:8 is my assurance that whichever this way goes I’m secure in Christ.
The fruit of that visit was the proof it was not from God, fear and depression are from Satan. Fruit from a visit from our Father will produce peace, joy, love, relief...
I so appreciate this particular series. The Lord has put this very subject matter on my heart for the past year and I'm super thankful you are teaching into this truth of what Jesus warned us about!
This one made me cry. When God called me to ministry, it was so hard because I'm a traditional Christian and I'm not comfortable with women in ministry. It's also so very frighting. I'm so afraid of messing up or doing something wrong. I don't want to fail the Lord. However, it's become very obvious why I'm a woman called to do what he needs me to do. I need to be a mother in ministry.
Within the weekly assembly and congregational meetings, only men who have one wife and who rule their households well are authorized to rule in God's churches as leaders. Women can prophecy at the gate of weekly assembly, speak and prophecy in meetings in the home, and evangelize. Older women are also commanded to teach younger women. Godly headship. (1 Corinthians 11, v. 3) "But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God."
Dear LilRavenWolf, you will hear mostly from conservative protestants and Catholics that women aren't allowed to run a ministry etc. They butcher the interpretation of many verses and call every woman who opposes their views feminists. Funny enough many men of God got also a revelation that women can lead ministries. Do they call them feminists too? I usually laugh when men think God is impressed with 'gender' to do His work on earth😊. As if your sex makes you more spirit led than others. I studied this topic and still do a lot and would recommend you two books: Bob Edwards Apostle's Warning and Jay Eldon Epp 'Junia the first woman apostle'. Bob Edwards also has a workshop course on his website 'awakedeborah' with a book, going much deeper on the verses dealing with man vs woman and 'head of' and authority and women teaching men. Also Marg Mowczko, specialised in early Jewish and Christian studies, has a great blog on these matters. She is born again and led by the Holy Spirit. Also her comment thread is interesting to read as one can find pearls in there by other spirit filled christians as well. I can write a lot about it but go study yourself and be encouraged.
I couldn't wait to listen. Grew up in a holiness church. There are still some of us around. Loved your first book way back 30 years ago. Glad I found your channel.
Thank you for these podcasts. I'm in Ministry and watch your videos a lot to evaluate my own heart and speech, and whether I'm truly sharing the Gospel in truth or part truths. Thank you so much.
15:01 Thank you!!! I just gave that example about the devil tempting Jesus to throw himself from a high altitude and the response was that one shall not test the Lord our God. That has been the message that I received with respect to criticism of the scary movies that have been coming out with Christian themes. It's like yes we have faith and we have recovering of God if we're strong in our walk, however why jump into a burning building if you don't have to? Thank you for giving me confirmation that I'm hearing God, and that as a new Christian I'm going about it the right way. I am so glad to have found this podcast. I read your book for a leadership class in church which is the bait of Satan and I got to say it's one of the best books I've ever read!
32:10 - Biblically, success is doing and completing God's will for one's life. Ephesians 2:10 - For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Mr Bevere, Enjoying your podcast. Surprised and pleased to see a Pentecostal teach thru scripture in an expositional way. Well done. It addresses hard passages like today.
Thank you. Confirmed what the Holy Spirit showed me. Build up treasures in heaven. And really down hearing all negative things about so many teachers in church.
Hi John, thank you for your willingness to approach this topic, I pray that the Lord will continue to use you and your family, but I also pray for His protection over you all. A few days ago the Holy Spirit led me to feel a glimpse of His heartbreak because of how many Christians live Christianity without God. Just like in the garden of Eden, God will have us always be put in front of a choice the tree of Life (relationship with Him) or the tree of Knowledge(worldly centered wisdom, self help). Sadly many Christians are being deceived and are regularly feeding themselves from the Tree of Self Help and call it God's will, in this way pursuing what they think is a good thing and serves God, instead of seeking God for guidance. Please prayerfully consider and ask God if this might be something that you can discuss at some point
You said people don't go "I can't wait to listen to that". But that's not particularly true. I really needed to listen to this, so thank you for being obedient and for talking about what we really need to hear.
In regard to waiting on God, I have a powerful testimony. In the early 2000s I was out preaching the gospel on the street. I knew that I was supposed to be waiting on God, but I thought maybe I was supposed to "act" a bit first. One day, I'm heading out to preach and I hear "You know you can do nothing without me, right?". Wakeup call!
I used to hate it when God spoke to me like that because I wanted him to be my simp daddy but I am so grateful now. The most recent incident is a few weeks ago I met this guy that moved into one of the rooms he's literally my next door neighbour at this flat. I was crushing HARD and his personality was just drawing me in and I was like he is everything I dream of 🙂↕️ Lies 🙄🤦🏾♂️ Then one day I heard him having the same chatty loud convos with another girl and I was HURT 😂 I cried for days 😂 And I was mad at God 😅 Don't ask me why 🤦🏾♂️ By the way before I came here I was hearing I will find my husband here so I thought it gotta be him, and so in my mind he was already stepping out from our marriage 😂😂😂 Anyway after a few days of just being a whole mess and I was starting to get my life together I had a dream I was in a bus, I demanded the driver to stop so I could get off and he told me no but your stop is ahead we're not there yet, next thing I was walking in this dusty road with HUGE pot holes filled with muddy water so much you can't see the depth of it but in my dream head I knew if I stepped in I'd drown cause they so deep, I was holding on to a rope as I try to navigate the potholes and I woke up. I just knew what God was saying and I was like when will I ever learn to just trust God right off the bat 🤦🏾♂️ After that dream I start seeing things after things about him, how much of a drunk he is, he was actually having a fling with this girl (she has a bf we see him all the time), then I saw him walking out his "real" gf and him and this girl that lives here don't talk anymore or sneak into each other's rooms anymore etc All I'm saying is I don't know how I ever lived without these convictions and warning from God. (I didn't live, God had to tell me Talitha koum when he came to save me because that's how dead I was. Cool salvation story for another day) They are EVERYTHING!!! God bless ❤
False teaching also fails in its inability to produce unity (1 Timothy 6:4-5). The word battles of false teachers result in chaos and confusion. “Envy” is the inward discontent with the advantages or popularity enjoyed by others. It results in “strife,” which often manifests itself in the “abusive language” of slander and insult. The net result of false teaching is “constant friction.” False teachers constantly rub each other the wrong way. That helps spread their spiritual disease, much as sheep might rub together and infect each other. False teaching can never produce unity. Only the truth unifies.
Excited for this! It's important to know who is a False Teacher and not just someone you disagree with based on parts of their denominational doctrine. I'm excited to learn.
Then you should know John Bevere is a false teacher himself and. Compare his other teachings to scripture sometime ESPECIALLY on tongues. Look at the company he associates with. Some of the worst prosperity teachers EVER. Benny Hinn Bill Johnson Robert Morris. John DOES NOT PRACTICE WHAT HE PREACHES
Thanks for sharing Brother in Christ 🙂 I love watching & listening to end times related things. Been reading and studying Daniel, Revelation and related rapture and 2nd coming scriptures since getting saved 45 yrs ago at 15. And it is amazing to see so many prophecy's being fulfilled right before our very eyes..... This is the generation that has seen Israel become a nation that will see Jesus !!! We will be Harpatzo-ed , Rapturo-ed, caught up, snatched, taken by force, very, very soon. I can feel it in my spirit-man, that we the BABY-BOOMerz will taken before the 7 year tribulation. Maranatha , Come Jesus Come. See yall in the clouds with our BRAND NEW BODIES. The future with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit is going to be so EPIC, off the charts fantastic. And then theres the Marriage Supper Of The Lamb.... YES, YES, YES are yous getting excited yet, because you should be, unless you dont have a pulse or have flat lined ! ! ! Just cant wait............
Have you read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21? Or are the scriptures you've read from a man with his explanation? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you, then please read Matthew 24:29-31, this is Jesus telling us what to expect and the sequence of events. After is what Jesus tells us. Mark 13:24-27, Luke 21:25-27.
To Mr.Bevere: Respect. I've never really liked it either. I've always thought many churches are merely businesses and that working for God should be out of love. On the other hand, you need to survive also. Good for you. God bless 🧡🙏🏽
This is such an eye opener. Great teaching indeed. Just love every bit of it. Solid faith building, life transforming teaching. To God be the glory 🎉❤🙏 Thank you John and Arden Bevere ❤
John, thank you SO MUCH! for this teaching!!! These rightly divided truths and pure motives behind them is so very DESPERATELY NEEDED these days!!! I prayed with you repenting and asking for His truths, His way and ALL for His gain.! All I desire is to be pleasing to God!!! May He richly bless you in all things to fill His kingdom with all that is rightly His in Jesus's Name!!! 🙏
I love the humility sir. Only if the Lord's in it, amen! Increase my discernment, Lord! Since my supernatural encounter's with God, I have been treated like Joseph, but I'll continue to serve the Lord and walk by faith. Shield up! I don't want any money for teaching Christ, it should be free to spread the gospel!
With all due respect John is a false teacher himself and supports and endorses others like Benny Hinn and Bill Johnson. John actually started out as an associate pastor at Benny Hinn Ministries and he
Thank you John and Arden for sharing the signs to spot false teachers. This has helped clarify some of my questions. It's interesting that you mentioned not being a 'watchdog' on false teachers, as I see many preachers and pastors doing this online. It seems to be becoming a significant focus for some. I have a question for you John and your wife Lisa: How have you responded when you've encountered teachers of the Word on social media who have publicly stated that they believe you to be false teachers? Regards, Amanda
I hope that you would keep and follow through one line of consistent ideas or line of thought. It’s like you’re on a line of reasoning but then your son interrupts you (or you interrupt yourself) and then switch thoughts or switch your line of reasoning. When you are on a path stay on that path until the end. it’s like you’re on this beautiful path of reasoning and suddenly it’s abandoned. I can’t get anything from this if you just abandoning the line of reasoning you are on. If you can’t take a line of reasoning to the very end, it’s not gonna have any meaning. This is a problem that I am having not just here, but in other arenas. However, you are the first preacher that I’ve listened to and really caught my attention, but then it suddenly dropped off and there’s nothing left for me to hang onto!
That’s your red flag there! Avoid John Bevere he’s crafty and deceptive. He started out as an associate pastor at Benny Hinn Ministries and he preaches at Bethel Church occasionally alongside Bill Johnson and Kris Valloton. He’s teaching this way possibly intentionally it’s a salesmen tactic @ MrRichardkj
He does not fear God and he is not sound. He used to be part of Benny Hinn Ministries. He used to guest preach at Gateway Church and promote Robert Morris. And he’s associated with Bethel Church and Apostle Bill Johnson the New Age Pastor. John speaks at Bethel on occasion too
May God have mercy and I thank Him for the various gifts in the body of Christ. I am a lay person when it involves the gospel but I am also God's child and therefore God speaks to me. I study, pray and read my bible with all fervency and God's anointing. I pray that He keeps me from idols and deception. I also pray that He provides what I need to serve Him acceptably. I pray that He keeps me from the love of money by giving me what I am capable of stewarding. It is good to receive blessings as long as they do not come between us and God. The love of money is the root of all evil. God is good, kind and merciful. He did not come to condemn the world but to save it. It seems sufficient to collect an offering as instructed in the bible. I use the word collection instead of resorting to a "prosperity teaching." I just think prosperity appeals to the flesh and to people who want to use the gospel for financial gain. Ultimately God is our final judge and He will tell us where to go.
I was in a church with a narcissistic pastor and the only thing she preached was about sin. 90% of the time she "prophesied" about sin, and she was a false teacher, preacher, prophet and everything else. We never heard her talk about the grace or love of God. and our lives were destroyed because of the fear, manipulation, intimidation and all the rest. Now she is in Hope Chapel, Ontario, California. She leads a Spanish church.
First mistake you made was going to a Church with a Woman Pastor. The Bible is Clear Woman are not to preach. That was 100% your mistake not knowing the Bible is Clear on that topic.
The sweep of Calvinism is a bane on today’s churches. We have to test all teaching against scripture. God loves all. He died for all. He is not willing that any should perish.
I would love for you two to speak about prophets and prophesying in today times. Like are there people whose "job" is prophet? Or if not, what is their role nowadays? It would help me a lot to know more about it! (I'm loving the Podcasts by the way!)
I so appreciate these pod casts. This one in particular is such an important topic. I had the privilege of reading your book "Thus Saith The Lord" about 20 years ago. It really impacted me as a young man, because the Lord was revealing the same to me. He was showing me how so many in the charismatic realm are not just false prophets, they are literally receiving the devil himself as an angel of light. The majority of the charismatic/prophetic movement is not of God. It's so saddening. But this podcast is truth, prophets are there for our "upbuilding" (1 Cor 14:3), and so many stop there in understanding the purpose of a prophet. But in the very same chapter Paul continues to expound that they are there to "convict" (1 Cor 14:24-25). If people would just know the entire word of God, they'd not be deceived. If God is unchanging, then His prophets will be the same today as they were in the OT. And the #1 thing they were commissioned to do is to rebuke and chasten for sin. We also have false prophets who chastise those who should not be, who struggling, and yet make out the rest of the sinful body as being so holy and right with God. Many times though, we'll also see false doctrine on the other side, believing that our holiness saves us. Holiness is a fruit, not a seed. Faith is the seed, which, over time will produce more and more fruit. To judge/condemn those who are struggling with addictions or whatever is sooooo terrible it's mind blowing as well. Jesus came to heal those who are sick.
Hallelujah!!!! The daily Jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good, after years of addiction to drugs and sins God chased me down as I earn $112,500 monthly. My life and family has changed, Thank you Jesus!!!!
Have you ever been led by a false teacher?
Yes, it has been the most shocking thing ever now that my eyes are open. We desire now to be led by Godly leaders as the HolySpirit leads. We just want to walk in love now and stay away from works without love.
Do you Sir, recommend any Godly Counsel/pastors in California?
Yes, turned out to be a cult.. caused massive ruin in my family. The cult eventually shut down, then my mother married him. He thankfully died a year and half ago.. special place for deceivers like that. Nothing but destruction. Sad thing is, I think he started off really wanting to follow Jesus.

Funny enough many men of God got also a revelation that women can lead ministries. Do they call them feminists too? I usually laugh when men think God is impressed with 'gender' to do His work on earth😊. As if your sex makes you more spirit led than others.
I studied this topic and still do a lot and would recommend you two books: Bob Edwards Apostle's Warning and Jay Eldon Epp 'Junia the first woman apostle'. Bob Edwards also has a workshop course on his website 'awakedeborah' with a book, going much deeper on the verses dealing with man vs woman and 'head of' and authority and women teaching men. Also Marg Mowczko, specialised in early Jewish and Christian studies, has a great blog on these matters. She is born again and led by the Holy Spirit. Also her comment thread is interesting to read as one can find pearls in there by other spirit filled christians as well.
I can write a lot about it but go study yourself and be encouraged.
I couldn't wait to listen. Grew up in a holiness church. There are still some of us around. Loved your first book way back 30 years ago. Glad I found your channel.
Thank you for these podcasts. I'm in Ministry and watch your videos a lot to evaluate my own heart and speech, and whether I'm truly sharing the Gospel in truth or part truths. Thank you so much.
I am so grateful for this podcast. To God be the Glory !
15:01 Thank you!!! I just gave that example about the devil tempting Jesus to throw himself from a high altitude and the response was that one shall not test the Lord our God. That has been the message that I received with respect to criticism of the scary movies that have been coming out with Christian themes. It's like yes we have faith and we have recovering of God if we're strong in our walk, however why jump into a burning building if you don't have to? Thank you for giving me confirmation that I'm hearing God, and that as a new Christian I'm going about it the right way. I am so glad to have found this podcast. I read your book for a leadership class in church which is the bait of Satan and I got to say it's one of the best books I've ever read!
@NessaCat444
John's book "The Awe of God" is amazing and sooo vital for us to walk in!
Bravo man i absolutely loved this one love you brother keep teaching people
Thankyou for this powerful word amen have seen many many false prophets and ministries i dont pay for the word or prophesy period
I pray God would keep ours hearts and the Spirit lead us in the truth. Let us not be led astray. Thank you Jesus
Thank you so much Sir for your obedience to God and doing this podcast - it is blessing me and many others greatly! Currently watching from Nigeria.
Thank you for teaching the word correctly! ❤
Guys -- this was my favorite episode so far. Thank you for all of this.
32:10 - Biblically, success is doing and completing God's will for one's life.
Ephesians 2:10 - For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Mr Bevere,
Enjoying your podcast. Surprised and pleased to see a Pentecostal teach thru scripture in an expositional way. Well done. It addresses hard passages like today.
Thx Arden + John. Very good listen. See u next week!
Thank you. Confirmed what the Holy Spirit showed me. Build up treasures in heaven. And really down hearing all negative things about so many teachers in church.
Thank you for talking about love offerings for speakers when they travel.
Hi John, thank you for your willingness to approach this topic, I pray that the Lord will continue to use you and your family, but I also pray for His protection over you all. A few days ago the Holy Spirit led me to feel a glimpse of His heartbreak because of how many Christians live Christianity without God. Just like in the garden of Eden, God will have us always be put in front of a choice the tree of Life (relationship with Him) or the tree of Knowledge(worldly centered wisdom, self help). Sadly many Christians are being deceived and are regularly feeding themselves from the Tree of Self Help and call it God's will, in this way pursuing what they think is a good thing and serves God, instead of seeking God for guidance. Please prayerfully consider and ask God if this might be something that you can discuss at some point
You said people don't go "I can't wait to listen to that". But that's not particularly true. I really needed to listen to this, so thank you for being obedient and for talking about what we really need to hear.
so true, satan also imitate God's messenger. We really need to be aware and strong in the WORD.
Amazing!!!! love this podcast
Whoa. I got goosebumps for Lisa's new book promo at the end. Looks awesome
Thank you! I really appreciate this, guys. It is healing to my soul.
Loving the podcast.... from Nagaland India..
Greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨, this is such a study. Thanks God❤
In regard to waiting on God, I have a powerful testimony. In the early 2000s I was out preaching the gospel on the street. I knew that I was supposed to be waiting on God, but I thought maybe I was supposed to "act" a bit first. One day, I'm heading out to preach and I hear "You know you can do nothing without me, right?". Wakeup call!
Powerful testimony indeed. 🙂
Ishmael 😢
I used to hate it when God spoke to me like that because I wanted him to be my simp daddy but I am so grateful now. The most recent incident is a few weeks ago I met this guy that moved into one of the rooms he's literally my next door neighbour at this flat. I was crushing HARD and his personality was just drawing me in and I was like he is everything I dream of 🙂↕️ Lies 🙄🤦🏾♂️ Then one day I heard him having the same chatty loud convos with another girl and I was HURT 😂 I cried for days 😂 And I was mad at God 😅 Don't ask me why 🤦🏾♂️
By the way before I came here I was hearing I will find my husband here so I thought it gotta be him, and so in my mind he was already stepping out from our marriage 😂😂😂
Anyway after a few days of just being a whole mess and I was starting to get my life together I had a dream I was in a bus, I demanded the driver to stop so I could get off and he told me no but your stop is ahead we're not there yet, next thing I was walking in this dusty road with HUGE pot holes filled with muddy water so much you can't see the depth of it but in my dream head I knew if I stepped in I'd drown cause they so deep, I was holding on to a rope as I try to navigate the potholes and I woke up. I just knew what God was saying and I was like when will I ever learn to just trust God right off the bat 🤦🏾♂️
After that dream I start seeing things after things about him, how much of a drunk he is, he was actually having a fling with this girl (she has a bf we see him all the time), then I saw him walking out his "real" gf and him and this girl that lives here don't talk anymore or sneak into each other's rooms anymore etc
All I'm saying is I don't know how I ever lived without these convictions and warning from God. (I didn't live, God had to tell me Talitha koum when he came to save me because that's how dead I was. Cool salvation story for another day)
They are EVERYTHING!!! God bless ❤

False teaching also fails in its inability to produce unity (1 Timothy 6:4-5). The word battles of false teachers result in chaos and confusion. “Envy” is the inward discontent with the advantages or popularity enjoyed by others. It results in “strife,” which often manifests itself in the “abusive language” of slander and insult. The net result of false teaching is “constant friction.” False teachers constantly rub each other the wrong way. That helps spread their spiritual disease, much as sheep might rub together and infect each other. False teaching can never produce unity. Only the truth unifies.
Excited for this! It's important to know who is a False Teacher and not just someone you disagree with based on parts of their denominational doctrine. I'm excited to learn.
Then you should know John Bevere is a false teacher himself and. Compare his other teachings to scripture sometime ESPECIALLY on tongues. Look at the company he associates with. Some of the worst prosperity teachers EVER. Benny Hinn Bill Johnson Robert Morris. John DOES NOT PRACTICE WHAT HE PREACHES
Thanks for sharing Brother in Christ 🙂 I love watching & listening to end times related things.
Been reading and studying Daniel, Revelation and related rapture and 2nd coming scriptures since getting saved 45 yrs ago at 15.
And it is amazing to see so many prophecy's being fulfilled right before our very eyes.....
This is the generation that has seen Israel become a nation that will see Jesus !!!
We will be Harpatzo-ed , Rapturo-ed, caught up, snatched, taken by force, very, very soon. I can feel it in my spirit-man, that we the BABY-BOOMerz will taken before the 7 year tribulation.
Maranatha , Come Jesus Come.
See yall in the clouds with our BRAND NEW BODIES.
The future with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit is going to be so EPIC, off the charts fantastic.
And then theres the Marriage Supper Of The Lamb....
YES, YES, YES are yous getting excited yet,
because you should be, unless you dont have a pulse or have flat lined ! ! !
Just cant wait............
Have you read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21? Or are the scriptures you've read from a man with his explanation? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you, then please read Matthew 24:29-31, this is Jesus telling us what to expect and the sequence of events. After is what Jesus tells us. Mark 13:24-27, Luke 21:25-27.
Easy to spot: 1. They want money & 2. They want to be important (pride)
This is good and much-needed.
I'm going through this and learning presently about this 🙏♥️
To Mr.Bevere: Respect. I've never really liked it either. I've always thought many churches are merely businesses and that working for God should be out of love. On the other hand, you need to survive also. Good for you.
God bless 🧡🙏🏽
This is such an eye opener. Great teaching indeed. Just love every bit of it. Solid faith building, life transforming teaching. To God be the glory 🎉❤🙏 Thank you John and Arden Bevere ❤
Very good, so needed!!
John, thank you SO MUCH! for this teaching!!! These rightly divided truths and pure motives behind them is so very DESPERATELY NEEDED these days!!! I prayed with you repenting and asking for His truths, His way and ALL for His gain.! All I desire is to be pleasing to God!!! May He richly bless you in all things to fill His kingdom with all that is rightly His in Jesus's Name!!! 🙏
Thank you for the teaching
Thank you sooooo much. I needed it.
Thank you for this podcast and episode!!
Thank u for the prayer so much
The book of Jeremiah is probably my favorite book in the Bible along with of course Psalms
Has anyone seen EJ Newton teaching about false prophets? This is needed today
I love you guys so much thank you for being obedient
I love the humility sir. Only if the Lord's in it, amen!
Increase my discernment, Lord!
Since my supernatural encounter's with God, I have been treated like Joseph, but I'll continue to serve the Lord and walk by faith. Shield up!
I don't want any money for teaching Christ, it should be free to spread the gospel!
With all due respect John is a false teacher himself and supports and endorses others like Benny Hinn and Bill Johnson. John actually started out as an associate pastor at Benny Hinn Ministries and he
Thank you John and Arden for sharing the signs to spot false teachers. This has helped clarify some of my questions.
It's interesting that you mentioned not being a 'watchdog' on false teachers, as I see many preachers and pastors doing this online. It seems to be becoming a significant focus for some.
I have a question for you John and your wife Lisa: How have you responded when you've encountered teachers of the Word on social media who have publicly stated that they believe you to be false teachers?
Regards, Amanda
This is very heavy😢praying for the body of Christ
God-bless you my brothers
I hope that you would keep and follow through one line of consistent ideas or line of thought. It’s like you’re on a line of reasoning but then your son interrupts you (or you interrupt yourself) and then switch thoughts or switch your line of reasoning. When you are on a path stay on that path until the end. it’s like you’re on this beautiful path of reasoning and suddenly it’s abandoned. I can’t get anything from this if you just abandoning the line of reasoning you are on. If you can’t take a line of reasoning to the very end, it’s not gonna have any meaning. This is a problem that I am having not just here, but in other arenas. However, you are the first preacher that I’ve listened to and really caught my attention, but then it suddenly dropped off and there’s nothing left for me to hang onto!
That’s your red flag there! Avoid John Bevere he’s crafty and deceptive. He started out as an associate pastor at Benny Hinn Ministries and he preaches at Bethel Church occasionally alongside Bill Johnson and Kris Valloton. He’s teaching this way possibly intentionally it’s a salesmen tactic @ MrRichardkj
Sound teaching. Finally some truth around this topic. Thank you. I love the honesty and the fear of God in you. Families ate blessed to have you.
He does not fear God and he is not sound. He used to be part of Benny Hinn Ministries. He used to guest preach at Gateway Church and promote Robert Morris. And he’s associated with Bethel Church and Apostle Bill Johnson the New Age Pastor. John speaks at Bethel on occasion too
Solid gold right here!!!!
Wow thank you! I've been reading the book of Jeremiah all week and now I see this video. ❤
Thank you, great word
May God have mercy and I thank Him for the various gifts in the body of Christ. I am a lay person when it involves the gospel but I am also God's child and therefore God speaks to me. I study, pray and read my bible with all fervency and God's anointing. I pray that He keeps me from idols and deception. I also pray that He provides what I need to serve Him acceptably. I pray that He keeps me from the love of money by giving me what I am capable of stewarding. It is good to receive blessings as long as they do not come between us and God. The love of money is the root of all evil. God is good, kind and merciful. He did not come to condemn the world but to save it. It seems sufficient to collect an offering as instructed in the bible. I use the word collection instead of resorting to a "prosperity teaching." I just think prosperity appeals to the flesh and to people who want to use the gospel for financial gain. Ultimately God is our final judge and He will tell us where to go.
I was in a church with a narcissistic pastor and the only thing she preached was about sin. 90% of the time she "prophesied" about sin, and she was a false teacher, preacher, prophet and everything else. We never heard her talk about the grace or love of God. and our lives were destroyed because of the fear, manipulation, intimidation and all the rest. Now she is in Hope Chapel, Ontario, California. She leads a Spanish church.
Manipulation is witchcraft, however preaching sin is a good thing. Jesus first words in his ministry were "Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is here!"
First mistake you made was going to a Church with a Woman Pastor. The Bible is Clear Woman are not to preach. That was 100% your mistake not knowing the Bible is Clear on that topic.
I second that. First mistake is letting a woman lead your church. Clearly condemned in the word of God.
The sweep of Calvinism is a bane on today’s churches.
We have to test all teaching against scripture.
God loves all.
He died for all.
He is not willing that any should perish.
Very very true
God bless you and all you do.
Thank you ❤
I would love for you two to speak about prophets and prophesying in today times. Like are there people whose "job" is prophet? Or if not, what is their role nowadays? It would help me a lot to know more about it!
(I'm loving the Podcasts by the way!)
Great teaching.. hallelujah
I so appreciate these pod casts. This one in particular is such an important topic. I had the privilege of reading your book "Thus Saith The Lord" about 20 years ago. It really impacted me as a young man, because the Lord was revealing the same to me. He was showing me how so many in the charismatic realm are not just false prophets, they are literally receiving the devil himself as an angel of light. The majority of the charismatic/prophetic movement is not of God. It's so saddening. But this podcast is truth, prophets are there for our "upbuilding" (1 Cor 14:3), and so many stop there in understanding the purpose of a prophet. But in the very same chapter Paul continues to expound that they are there to "convict" (1 Cor 14:24-25). If people would just know the entire word of God, they'd not be deceived. If God is unchanging, then His prophets will be the same today as they were in the OT. And the #1 thing they were commissioned to do is to rebuke and chasten for sin.
We also have false prophets who chastise those who should not be, who struggling, and yet make out the rest of the sinful body as being so holy and right with God.
Many times though, we'll also see false doctrine on the other side, believing that our holiness saves us. Holiness is a fruit, not a seed. Faith is the seed, which, over time will produce more and more fruit. To judge/condemn those who are struggling with addictions or whatever is sooooo terrible it's mind blowing as well. Jesus came to heal those who are sick.
Amazing one, speaking to my situation
Hallelujah!!!! The daily Jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good, after years of addiction to drugs and sins God chased me down as I earn $112,500 monthly. My life and family has changed, Thank you Jesus!!!!
God bless you more abundantly for your generosity
But then, what do you do? How do you come about that in that period?
I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself but I still believe in God.
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. Thank you Jesus
Thanks to Mrs Kathleen Mary Vella
Thank you 🙏🏾
