Oh babe!!!!!! My heart jumps for joy WITH and FOR you!!!! You have chosen correctly. Papa God grab this persons heart and keep the fire going forever. Teach them who they belong too and now NO ONE can snatch them from Your hand. Holy Spirit blanket them and comfort them. May they consistently stay focused on their “first love.” In Jesus name!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I’m not even 6 minutes into the video and my jaw just dropped! I’ve been so worried to take a step God has asked me to take on and to speak on something so rife and untalked about that so ingrained into society and the church, scared mostly for this reason (and the backlash from speaking about it) and how I can even put it into words that accurately represent Him and His word with as minimal backlash and hate and more understanding. My friend just message me before I turned this video on to give me word that I just need to open my mouth and speak and that I’d know what that means, then I turn this on and you’re putting into words what needs to be understood before I speak the rest. Me, jaw, floor 😮 God is sooooo incredible
Almost 8 years later this message is still saving, and waking up the body of Christ to the empowerment of grace. Just rededicated my life tonight Feb 3rd 2024 praise God!!!!!!!!
I had my headphones in, and randomly woke up to the end of this sermon. The Lord lead me here, wow, and as I prayed this prayer, I felt his presence too! Everytime he said “there it is,” it was like it dropped. December 16,2024 at 11:00 at night. I love you Lord! Thank you for waking me up. Thank you for helping me, for guiding me, thank you for showing me you are real. by your GRACE I am able to obey and to walk uprightly before you! Thank you for this gift of Grace you have given me that allows me to break free from the bonds of sin and death! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah God redeemed you thank you Jesus for your blood and your grace and your forgiveness! We are set free chains are broken! Come Lord Jesus! ✝️🙏🏻❤️
September 14, 2023 This message helped me understand and pursue holiness with a deeper faith and understanding. Thank you Holy Spirit for this messenger of God.
March 24, 2024, I give my life to Jesus. I struggle to believe in Him sometimes, but I will ask God to help me have faith and continually pursue Him in my life! I want to live each day by His grace and love. Lord, let me experience love and grace that only comes from You. You are my King, Lord, Father, and Friend. Help me to be holy as I live by grace and believe in that grace I have received. I cannot be saved anyhow by my deeds. Even when I pursue goods, they may turn out evil if the good deed is to glorify myself and not You. That's why I need Your grace, Lord. Instead of trying to save myself, help me to trust in You and get saved by grace. I thank You, Lord, and pray all these in Jesus' Name, AMEN!
You become holy TROUGH HIS (JESUS CHRIST) RIGHTEOUSNESS AND GRACE! Its NON of you what so ever. To earlier you get it, to better it will be for you. Or else you will just be a belly butten focused, non producing fruit, cold dead religious "Christian"!
I for one, am glad that this timely message was rereleased on TH-cam. I saw this title, and was immediately drawn to it. I had no idea that this message is already 7 years old, but it still resonates loudly, and impacts me deeply. I said the prayer with John and the Men and Women of God, and I intend on pursuing holiness until the soon return of Jesus Christ. Thank You, John. What a gift you are to the Body of Christ.🤴🏻✝️✝️✝️✔️✔️✔️🎤🌎🇺🇸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽
The HOLY Spirit is in us if we are indeed born again. As a result, we will desire holiness. However, no amount of obedience or holiness on our part could ever qualify us to be redeemed. God’s standard is perfection. Only Jesus qualifies. If we have Him, it’s HIS righteousness that qualifies and redeems us.
The Holy Spirit is all over this man. Thank you John for your beautiful message. This is one to always come back to. Mark 12:30 is the hallmark of my walk. To comprehend/be reminded that it’s not my strength but his EMPOWERMENT through coming boldly before the throne of grace was huge! I am a son of the one true living God!
@@masimba5000 My question to you is how is your relationship with God growing out of trying to figuring out if another man is a con artist or not? God bless you
Thank you for being a true servant of God and Jesus Christ! It’s so hard to find true honest preachers in the world we live in nowadays. I’m so grateful to you. Thank you 🙏
Glory to God!!!! A man of God who has the courage to preach on HOLINESS!!! Heb 12:14 ….without HOLINESS NO ONE will see God!!! Jesus said the PURE IN HEART will SEE GOD! Go John!!! I love your message on the fear of the Lord also!!!!!!!!
~ I strongly suggest that you start praying and asking the Lord to give you the gift of discerning of spirits. The Holy Spirit speaking through the Apostle Paul mentioned the gift in 1 Cor. 12:10 in the Kin James Version.
Wow firstt time listening to this preacher of god, I love Jesus and am proud to be a child of God ive been baptised but just lately I've been feeling like I can't hear him and my fire isn't burning as it should be, here now at 4pm sun 10th March 2024 I stood up in my kitchen and recited John's prayer and woah praise God I truly felt the presence of God and the spirit upon me, in tears and so blessed there's clearly changes I need to make in my life but his last word about draw close to God and he'll draw closer to you so so powerful thank you John thank you Jesus xx
02.11.2024 Thank You, Lord, for Your servant John!!🙏🙏🙏 O, Lord, how long You have been waiting for me! BLESSED BE YOUR HOLY NAME TODAY AND FOREVER MORE!
Monday 22 April 2024,I felt the presence of God for the first time and I can't describe the experience.Thank you for God for the Grace of Empowerment,that was truly supernatural.
Anyone reading this, if you haven't repented yet, please REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. I LOVE YOU JESUS✝️ Lord Jesus✝️have mercy on you🙏
Wow!!I only searched out 40 something of the prophecies fulfilled, but Christ fulfilled over 300??🤯I've always believed He is who He said He is but its even more encouraging to find out these things.I love You Lord and Jehovah our LORD❤️
Such a powerful, powerful message that every Believer needs to hear and see. Such an anointing on this teaching and the moving of the Holy Spirit, just awesome!🙏❤️🙏❤️
October 20th, Thank you Jesus for speaking through John. I give my life to you and will praise and worship you from this day forth. Thank you Jesus✝❤🙏🏽
I was crying out to God about mental attacks… And he told me to re-calibrate every morning… On top that my husband used to calibrate, gas sensing equipment… I’m glad everybody else is enjoying this, but… It’s for me… Ha ha …Thank you Abba
Name: John December 7th 2024 Time: 1:17 AM John 1:17 ESV [17] For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. I'm thankful for the strength you have given me my lord 🙏🏼 I pray that this video can help other people on their journey in life
Only the pure in heart will see Jesus, as He is. And in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet (for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and ) we will all be changed ... for we will behold Him. What we shall later be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him like He is (I John 3:2). And everyone who has this hope IN HIM purifies himself, just as He is pure, I John 3:3. For just a little longer & He who is coming will arrive and not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith, and IF he shrinks back, I will take no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10:37,38. If you are not longing for His glorious appearing and purifying yourself towards this end, you will shrink back when He appears... and Jesus will take ZERO pleasure in you.
@@marye5109 I'm sorry I don't think that we are communicating on a level of understanding. I was, in my mind, talking to you on a continuous "thread". And I felt that I was making sense. If what I said does not have continuity in your mind, I think we should just let it go at that.
Thankyou for re-releasing this! I have been hearing a call to Holiness for the Bride, for over a year... when ever I try to conversate about this with my inner circle, they come at me with verses like, "there is no condemnation". I end up questioning myself:/ You have laid out the difference beautifully here. God Bless you.👑🕊🦁
Amen sister! I'd reply with... what's condemning about seeking our Holy, Majestic, Matchless God in the secret place? I hope soon we can say, "you don't? Everyone's doing it!"
Thanks so much! I have been living in intimacy with Jesus for a few years now. Just this😂 week I have come against something I am not winning over. Thanks for leading me to fighting against it by grace. I had convinced myself that I must win by my own strength, not trusting and relying on Him.
The Word of God is truly living! Today, 07/23/2024 @5:16PM, I rededicate my life to Jesus Christ and resolve to pursue holiness in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏🏾
Amen I needed this Thank you heavenly father for your grace I need your grace I can’t do this anymore by myself in my own strength I need your grace heavenly father in the name of your only begotten son Jesus Christ of Nazareth thank you heavenly dad thank you I love you and I can’t wait to share my testimony with the world and to say that it was a good thing that I was afflicted amen amen amen and amen
What a in season message Dr.Bevere🙏🏼I saw this message and just want to listen to it and I'm sitting here on my couch with tears after I prayed with and I know God's Presence is in this room.What you shared really touch me Sir and I did not even know this message was preach in 2016.Just shows God's Word is eternal and it is living and powerful.I believe Sir that I receive the grace(empowerment) to pursue holiness so that I can be intimate with The One who created me...🙏🏼🙌❤️Thank you very much to you Sir🙌God bless you and your family...🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was so good! This was definitely a God ordained time for me to watch this and take note. Holiness and intimacy with the Lord is my deepest longing and desire. Thanks for teaching this John. 03.04.24
I started talking to ppl about 10yrs ago t we dont talk about Holiness for Jesus says I am Holy. Nd then about 3 or so yrs ago I moved nd find myself bringing it up like my body aches nd my heart hurts and aches like a person with agony. Irony that missiinaries kept coming back even tho we sat on the porch in the cold.
32:30 this is why pride is a sin. He doesn't get glory for what we take credit for. And that's why we fall short and usually fail miserably trying to lean on our own ability. 🤯
God uses John because he is obedient and has learned to maintain his intimacy with God. Thank you Lord, and Thank You John Bevere for hearing from God, and explaining these scriptures! It gives me hope and builds my faith.
This was sobering, mind- blowing and life changing. Loved being convicted the way this convicted me. Great way to put this Christian Walk into perspective… thank you so much John Bevere! God bless
This sermon has answered so many questions. Thank you and God bless you. "Pursuing holiness is the entry point to pursuing intimacy with God." Thank you to Maria for sharing the sermon with me. Share the sermon as well.😊
John Bevere ! Another excellent teaching! I have learned so much from your ministry which has been life changing. I thank God for you and Lisa, the actual life lessons, such a blessing. Thank you for your books, The Fear of God, The Bait of Satan, Under Cover, Relentless! God bless you both and your family!
I was looking for speakers to listen to, and my one friend listens to a ton of speakers daily, so I asked for speakers he normally listens to. I am glad he brought me to John cause wow. His speech is so electric!
Thank God for teaching this message. I've been teaching this message that Grace is God's empowerment. Therefore, we have the ability through the Holy Spirit to live Holy. Praise God
Thank you for this message, we need to be reminded It's God's Grace of Empowerment for Us to live a Holy lifestyle through Christ Jesus ❤ 11-17-23. Let Us pray one for another that we grow in God's Grace of real intimacy ❤
This was such a blessing! Truth is always a blessing. I want to know how my Lord wants me to live for Him. Amen. Amen. Ty Lord and Ty JB… bless you and keep you.
I'm crying while watching and hearing this message, I don't know why. It's like there is a heavy burden that I want every follower to see and watch this video. Reverential Fear for God and Intimacy with Him, are what we need to pursue holiness. We can love God but not have the reverential fear for God that will hinder us from pursuing holiness and establishing His kingdom in our lives and here on earth (to other people). Lord help us Your followers to pursue holiness. 🛐❤️
wow im so glad i sat and watched it through; i had a heavy heart before doing so but praise be to God i feel so much lighter now that ive watched and prayed. The Lord spoke to me through you. Thank you for your obedience and faithfulness. May God bless you richly ❤ Amen
I really appreciate this teaching. I feel blessed. God is good, I continue to seek him everyday. I am so grateful for his grace and mercy upon my life.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🤔 *Society often equates "good" with "God," but discernment is needed to differentiate between good and evil.* 01:23 🙌 *Good has different reference points; what's good for one may not be for another. It's all about perspective.* 03:02 😇 *The concept of good can be deceiving; even something that appears good can lead people away from God's plan.* 04:11 🚫 *Deception is a significant concern in the last days, as it makes people believe they're right when they're wrong.* 05:51 📖 *The Bible is the standard and reference point for discerning good and evil; it corrects and guides believers.* 09:17 📚 *The Bible, with 66 bookswritten over 1500 years by 39 authors, remains a harmonized and consistent source.* 11:08 🤯 *The probability of fulfilling 300 Messianic prophecies is incredibly low, yet Jesus fulfilled all of them, highlighting the Bible's significance.* 13:33 💡 *The Bible is essential for calibration in a corrupt world; it helps believers stay on the right path.* 16:00 🌍 *We live in a corrupt world, and daily exposure to Scripture is crucial to maintain spiritual accuracy.* 20:03 🕊️ *Holiness is an essential topic in the New Testament, but it's often avoided in discussions, possibly due to discomfort.* 20:58 🙌 *The predominant description of God in the Bible is "Holy," and the church Jesus is coming back for is also described as "Holy."* 22:41 📖 *Some preachers have emphasized legalistic views of Holiness, making it a burden and a lifestyle enforced through rules.* 24:21 🙏 *There are two aspects of Holiness discussed in the New Testament: positional Holiness, which is received when one accepts Jesus, and behavioral Holiness, which involves living a life aligned with God's standards.* 29:03 💪 *Grace is not just forgiveness but also God's empowerment, enabling Christians to live godly lives.* 34:50 🚶 *Pursuing Holiness is not about legalism or trying to earn salvation but is the path to intimacy with God.* 41:59 💔 *Jesus is coming back for a bride (the church) that has fully given itself to Him, not one that still holds onto worldly desires.* 43:35 💍 *Just knowing about Jesus is not enough; entering a covenant relationship with Him is crucial.* 46:21 🙏 *The choice to accept Jesus and give your entire heart and life to Him is a personal decision that cannot be forced.* 47:30 🛐 *Many men in the audience express a desire to pursue Holiness and seek the grace of God for empowerment in their lives.* 49:08 🌟 *Prayers for empowerment and grace are offered to live a life reflecting one's position as a faithful follower of Jesus.* 52:17 🙌 *A tangible sense of the presence of God is experienced by many in the audience.*
Oh my God! What an amazing revelation! Eve was indeed attracted to what seemed good and ended up in sin. LORD guide us to your truth. May we hold fast to your word it is truth.
Amen and amen and amen! Thanks you John for the boldness of your ministry as God has drawn this sinner back to Himself empowered by His grace to live in fear and trembling of His holiness.
If we are then empowered by grace…to what end? Living correctly! Holiness is being set apart as His, but grace teaches us to say NO to ungodliness! Titus 2:12 We must do His will. Matt. 7:21
September 5 2023, Philippines , 6:47am . i am.born again.again. thank you JESUS

I’m not even 6 minutes into the video and my jaw just dropped! I’ve been so worried to take a step God has asked me to take on and to speak on something so rife and untalked about that so ingrained into society and the church, scared mostly for this reason (and the backlash from speaking about it) and how I can even put it into words that accurately represent Him and His word with as minimal backlash and hate and more understanding. My friend just message me before I turned this video on to give me word that I just need to open my mouth and speak and that I’d know what that means, then I turn this on and you’re putting into words what needs to be understood before I speak the rest.

This is so powerful. Holiness is not an end in itself but a means to an end. The end is intimacy with God.
one of the best sermons I’ve ever heard, thank you! I am free Friday January 19th 2024. thank you Jesus 🤍

No bride is ashamed of her husband.
Christ is coming back for a holy church.
This was so good.
Thank you Jesus.
Thank You, Jesus
You become holy TROUGH HIS (JESUS CHRIST) RIGHTEOUSNESS AND GRACE! Its NON of you what so ever. To earlier you get it, to better it will be for you. Or else you will just be a belly butten focused, non producing fruit, cold dead religious "Christian"!

Excellent message! 👌🏽 Thank you brother John, may God continue to bless you and your family as you continue to share His Word boldly. 🙌🏽
So glad John is talking about how important HOLINESS is. You cant avoid behavior holiness in the bible.

My second time watching your sermon.
This was amazing.
Thank you and God bless you! ❤
Thank you sir for this awesome teaching!!!
I'm crying while watching and hearing this message, I don't know why. It's like there is a heavy burden that I want every follower to see and watch this video.
Reverential Fear for God and Intimacy with Him, are what we need to pursue holiness.
We can love God but not have the reverential fear for God that will hinder us from pursuing holiness and establishing His kingdom in our lives and here on earth (to other people).
Lord help us Your followers to pursue holiness. 🛐❤️
wow im so glad i sat and watched it through; i had a heavy heart before doing so but praise be to God i feel so much lighter now that ive watched and prayed. The Lord spoke to me through you. Thank you for your obedience and faithfulness. May God bless you richly ❤ Amen
I like the scientific analogies😊
Thank you ! Mr. Bevere. What a great blessing this knowledge. To God be all the Glory !
I really appreciate this teaching. I feel blessed. God is good, I continue to seek him everyday. I am so grateful for his grace and mercy upon my life.
