Lord, help me to not be a DRIFTER but to stay FOCUSED on Jesus and my PURPOSE.

I personally don’t mind Lisa interrupting, it to me shows that she is thoroughly engaged and always contributes something of substance 😊.

God bless you both! I have been going through a spiritual trial but praise Jesus He got me through it! Please pray for my ex-husband. He out of the blue said he didn’t believe in Jesus and then told me he wanted to get a divorce. Within 2 months I was divorced. Mind you, we’ve been together since I was 14…he went to church every single week with me. He professed Jesus as Lord and savior. I’ve found out some other terrible news about his situation since our divorce…my heart is going out to him. Please pray for him. Pray that the blindness of the evil one gets removed from his mind and that he LOVES the Truth. His name is Ryan. Thank you all. 🙏

“How can we think about Scripture if we don’t read Scripture?” Wow! Amen!🙌🏽

[angelicacline]

When you said Satan appoints leaders, immediately what entered my mind was "there are two kingdoms." I remember asking God why does Satan care and strive SO MUCH to get people on his side. He already knows he's lost, he's not fighting from victory. So, why does he keep trying to drag people to Hell with him? What does he get out of it? After some time the Lord answered me with Proverbs 14:28 "A growing population is a king’s glory; a prince without subjects has nothing." So, when we turn from God and submit to wicked ways, we glorify Satan.

Interestingly, the previous verse pairs perfectly with verse 28. "Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain; it offers escape from the snares of death." Fear of the Lord is how we stay FAR from wicked ways, and stay on the righteous path, the narrow road. The Lord has been repeating this phrase of "fear of the Lord" partially with your book and also with scripture. Since I have heard your message about fear of the Lord, I have been praying for understanding and the wisdom and to have fear of the Lord. Also, for the last several weeks I have been praying that God would deep-seat me in humility, bath me, cloth me, and saturate me in the humility of Jesus - to make my humility match Jesus'. Well, yesterday's verse of the day on the Holy Bible app was Proverbs 22:4 "Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life." Which also circles back around to Proverbs 14:27

Thank you so much John and Lisa for the wonderful video. I’m 23 speaking from South Korea, where the new wave of pop culture is happening, which is great that many more get to about our country, but I see so much more individuals suffering due to depression, anxiety from comparison in all different ages of lives. I want to spread the word of God boldly to people around me, to hold onto God’s words more, but I still have no certainty on how that’s gonna play out. Pray for me on that with me. God bless! 😊

I wish there wasn't so much interruption. It makes it hard to stay focused.

I find it sweet when lisa interrupted john & reminded him about an experience with the boat, and also i appreciate her humor😂. I always listen to their podcast while working/encoding, or doing chores, their conversation refreshes me! I benefited a lot from their books also! Love this power couple! They support and complement one another. Ive been following them since 2015 till now. So blessed with their life! More of God's anointing in your lives! Your union is a blessing to the church! All glory to.God!

This is so good and so true. I really want to get back in the word of God and STAY there! God have mercy on us all. Give us the grace and strength to stand strong and endure to the end. And wake up the church and raise up the intercessors to stand in the gap for this country. 🙏🙏🙏.
