How to Know If You’re Really Saved.

_____________
Every Sunday, millions of churches around the globe offer an opportunity for salvation. But are we engaging the true power of repentance? Is this why many leave the church's four walls unchanged?

In today's episode, we challenge the notion of knowing Jesus as merely "Savior" while exploring the significance of counting the cost before uttering the "sinner's prayer."

Tune in to be inspired and equipped as we navigate the crucial question: "How do you know you're saved?"

Have you ever questioned whether or not you're saved?

[stevemougne]

Thank you Mr and Mrs Bevere. I have been thinking about this very topic for a couple weeks. My wife and I discussed it. We had a sermon about it at church and then the lord sent me this episode of your podcast. Thank you! I seak to know the Lord better everyday and it still blows my mind every time this happens. Every time I have a question or seek further understanding, he gives it to me. I feel that joy in my heart. Let me tell you, after being saved and furthering my relationship with God, the day I came to the realization that I may have walked away from him, he never left me. Remembering back throughout my life when I stopped pursuing a relationship with our Father and gave into the sins of the world, he NEVER left me! I was driving to work when I had that thought for the 2nd time, I can be a little hard headed at times, and when It really sunk in, I started crying like a baby. 5am on a dark highway and this realization hits. Gos has my whole. Thank you John and fam. Keep doing what you're doing. You are one of the many vessels through which God spoke to me. Thank you! Love you all, God bless!!

I am a born again Christian I was completely transformed into a totally different person and it just gets better and better over the years, reason I’m riding this to you is I have gone to several churches in the Tulsa Oklahoma area and broken arrow area and no one is using repentance in prayer for salvation. The only one that consistently uses repentance and he has a thorough salvation. Prayer is victory churches Paul Daughtery. That’s one out of the seven churches that I have visited several occasions and they refused to even discuss the matter with me on why they don’t use repentance, they don’t even, define what repentance means in the prayer to avoid using the word repentance so my question is are the people that have responded in their churches actually been saved because it really concerns me. I don’t understand why the prayer for salvation in these churches have gotten so short, so thank you for the lesson tonight, as always, it was very, very good

Praise God for your podcast 🙏❤️🌺 this is a topic that so many Christians wrestle with. Our Bible study group we were all divided over this topic. At the end of the day the question is did we ever truly gave our life to Christ . There is difference between making a mistake because we are in the process of sanctification and learning along the way a new way of living but if we are continually living in sin deliberately, there is no way the spirit of God could be directing our path. Thank you for the clarification 🙏🌺

Dr. Michael Heiser gave a nice summary of the Gospel in which he stated that what God requires of true believers is loving loyalty to His Son Jesus Christ. If we are trusting Jesus for our righteousness and not our religious works, we will stay loyal to Him as the martyrs have all throughout history. Revelation 12:11 says we will overcome by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of our testimony, and by not loving our lives more than Jesus.

I’m so thankful I got saved in my kitchen when I was by myself! I’ve never had to wonder if I’m really saved. The Lord gave me that supernatural peace and changed my heart and gave me His desires to live for and not my own desires! I recently heard a message about how to know your saved and he said the 2 ways to know is if you have a desire to be perfect and a desire to be with the Lord! Bingo! If you can’t answer yes to both those questions then your not a true believer but the good news is is that you can become a true believer right now. ❤

We have been So Blessed by Both of you, Lisa & John, over the decades! The Truth of JESUS WORD✝️ and the Power of the Holy Spirit has made all the difference! Thank you for your surrendered Lives and Love for the Brethren and the Lost.❤️‍🔥
Counting the Cost is His Reward!🙌🏻🔥🕊️💖

So, this really hits home for me because when I prayed the “sinner’s prayer, ” it was to a radio sermon in my dad’s car when I was 17. At the time, I was a witch, by definition, and I had no repentance in my heart. HOWEVER, later on, I began to feel compelled to throw all my witchcraft away for good. I sort of lost interest in it. And I believe the Lord used that prayer to invite Himself into my heart with my permission and He decluttered my soul of the witchcraft from before, which admittedly took a while. But I wonder if I had realized the significance of my sin beforehand, if maybe then I would’ve ended my relationship with the demonic quicker and cleaner. Because there was understandably a LOT to unpack later on in my faith. But perhaps He does things like that so I don’t die of exhaustion lol. But I love that story of LEARNING the importance of repentance. Thank you, John and Lisa, for making another killer podcast episode!

[charnessaspence]

I truly enjoy your teaching! My heart can't express this enough. The truth of God's word is being watered down and diluted so much and I'm so glad you have taken a stand to leave people without an excuse! It is evident that Jesus' coming is drawing nigh and the question speaks loud and clear from Luke 18 "when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?". The great falling away is running rampant and the hearts of many are waxing cold. Thank you for sharing the truth with the church to whom His Word is addressing. I love what God is doing through you John, Lisa, and Arden. I utilize different methods of your teachings daily. Blessings to you all ❤!

[thorin]

Message is plain and simple. Easy to comprehend. Blessed to listened in this podcast.

[GodAnsweredMeToLove]

Thanking Jesus for you both for following His will and allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through you! Love you guys

[chrisbashline]

Love you two. It happened so quick. Manservant and maidservants “we can be included too Lisa.”

[iindahammermueller]

Lisa you said it perfect... I wish I could remember what you said about what people told you when you got saved. I'm using it for my fellowship pizza 🍕 group this Friday.. thank you ! I'll rewind it. Everything else is not saved

[JesusWinsEverytime]

This makes my heart so happy. Thank you for speaking on what I have been praying for. That being that someone with a large following would speak on the possibility of False Conversion and also acknowledging the way to bring someone to Christ, the importance of repentance and what that means in detail, the change needed and the path God wills for their life. The spiritual connection needed to be baptized by the Holy Spirit. Not just the prayer, join the church, baptismand then carry on like before…..

[SaloméSonwane]

Thankyou Mr John and Ms Lisa for speaking the truth and talking about real Christianity! Thankyou thankyou!

[triciacarpenter]

Love you guys! ❤ blessed to be a part of your conversations..😊

[tinkerchristoferson]

Excellent teaching. Thank you so much for putting things into real life applying applications 🙏🏼

[mmin]

Thank you for this. Needed to hear this today and have clarification.

[ufcmtom]

When you're born again you will not lose your salvation. This wrong teaching of grace plus works has caused many people unnecessary pain. God knows how to discipline his children if they go astray. Not everyone grows at the same rate. If somebody can live a sinful lifestyle and doesn't care they may not be saved to begin with. The mixture your teach stunts the growth of true children. They can't enter his rest. Legalism makes people run from their father. I know. I went through that garbage. I went to Benny hinn church. You were his youth pastor. Grace totally changed my life and I love Jesus more than ever.its wonderful ❤ legalism ruins everything.

[christinekarigirwa]

Powerful conversation. God bless you!❤
