Ive asked God "what is my part in this walk of faith?" This really gave clarity on the difference of me trying to earn vs putting in effort. Great podcast 👏

[RJ-vqiv]

I found the Greatest teacher of all is HOLY SPIRIT, HES wonderful, loving unlike any other, no joke the last few years Our Father wakes me up in the morning and says come away with Me, come sit & eat I’ve prepared a fest & it’s HIS WORD, bread of life, HES way way better than I knew yall

[lydiatostenson]

This father son dynamic is fantastic. It’s hard to find a good back and forth to watch on podcast, but this is it! You’re both such great communicators - I want more of this duo for sure!! 😁

I just purchased your book,
The Bait of Satan. I read the introduction and 1st chapter and cried like a baby. I litterly suppressed offense for years and had no idea, but the fruit was present in my walk. I have told every person I met about this book, and all of them have purchased it. We started a book club!!! I can't wait to purchase every last one of your books that are definitely GOD breadth. I'm living out my freedom and never to get trapped again by the Spirit of offense. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PODCAST!!! The fear of the LORD gets rid of all fear. Wow, I can't wait to purchase. Father & Son. 👏🏾
Thank you, John Bevere for all that you do for the body of CHRIST!! 🙏🏽

Maturity comes with obedience. It’s simple.

When I first came to Christ, I felt like I was saved. When I came across the idea of fearing God, I thought to myself, why do I need to fear God. Immediately the Holy Spirit admonished me and I knew I had work to do.

[MatthewRJones]

You teach the truth. The balance between love and obedience compels me to keep listening. I am tired of only getting half of the truth. You sir preach the whole truth and I am deeply convicted to repent and fully experience the love of Christ. Thank you for your dedication to the truth.

The title for this is PERFECT! You have no idea how this is an answer to prayer. Thank you so much!!!

[staceyedwards]

I'm so happy I found you, John. You draw me closer to God, not just my relationship with Jesus. You remind me that it's not just about loving and following Jesus, but creating and fostering an intimacy with God, and to fear him. Ironically, my journey began because I have always feared God and tried to show Him in worthy. I didn't realize I have always been worthy, but I have to value the love and acceptance He gives me through grace.

I'm a mess... 😢
I can't even put into words, what I'm going through, inside my mind and spirit.
I can say, this message today has been a great help for me to understand what I need to do.
Discipline, endurance, self control....
My weakest areas...but the 5 pages of notes I've taken, will get me started..thank you

I'm from South Africa. I love love your Podcasts. Amazing content in bringing us in awareness of who we are in Christ.

Reading The awe of God is absolutely the best thing I’ve ever done. Gaining that understanding is literally life changing.

[Spladoinkal]

Yup, being kind and being nice are two different things. Kind can look like nice at times. But when a brother/sister NEEDS rebuke in order, kind offers that rebuke in love, whereas nice is too weak to offer that rebuke and allows the brother/sister to continue to hurt themselves.

[Ernest-hr]

I love it when you said you don't care about the time because by God there is no time

[BerniceOliveras]

Im reading in the book of Ezekiel chapter 28. Maan its soo intersting. ! Like I'm reading how lovely he had developed the king of Tyre, but then because of his multitude of i inquity . I feel like God is telling me that he has built me to be an amazing, but something in me is weak. I want to go to boot camp to kick myself straighten. Guys i want to be everything God wants me to be. He called me, "The bringer of Victory" ❤ dude that means something!!

[PaulaGrey]

I am 61 years old and I have had all the time in the world to study and be approved and I don’t know why I all of a sudden want to study and be approved but I have a fervor in me like I did when I first met Jesus in my mid-20s and then because I didn’t know any better I unequally yoked myself with my ex-husband and it is taking me this long to come back him the Lord and want to know him intimately and have healthy fear of him I’m 61 I can catch up

I love the way u teach, I’m learning more from listening to you and ur son, I never hear about The Fear of God. I said the prayer of excepting Jesus, but listening to you I realize I’m playing around with my life, not wanting to, , I knew I needed more of Jesus and didn’t know how to or what to do. I’m so great full for ur ministry, God knew just what I need in ur ministry. Thank you and thank ur son. Bless you so much.
