This was a great message and I felt like it was a spiritual whipping to me. I realize that in order to receive Gods presence or if you want his presence bad enough, you won’t be friends with the world. Either you are 100% team God or 100% team world there is no in between! Thank you John for sharing this message with us!

Brothers and sisters. Please pray for me. For about 15 years I have been struggling with debilitating sickness that's made my life unberable. I am in my mid 30s and would love to still have strength to serve my Savior and Lord. Jesus is my Healer. Thank you all 🙏🏻 Please also pray that God grants me strength to go through this valley with humility and thankfulness.

I am so sorry sweetheart. My heart aches for you. I am praying the name of Jesus over you…for healing, for joy, and that if the Lord allows you to continue this way He would provide you with His presence and glory every day to sustain you. I don’t know why you have gone through this long valley, but I do know He loves you powerfully and this world is temporary. I look forward to seeing you whole and filled with joy when we are in eternity, experiencing the glory of God that is unimaginable. ❤❤❤ Hang on and never ever give up. He is with you every moment.

@@jdnrust1590 Jesus isn't coming back for the harlot church, he is coming back for the bride of Christ. You're right he does help us, and if we truly receive the help we will eventually stop doing what he is helping us with. He isn't coming back for a lukewarm bride. The truth is that just because you are in church that doesn't mean you are in the bride. The ones who are saved are the bride, and the ones who are saved are born again and changed forever. Jesus loves us just the way we are but the loves us too much to keep us that way. If we follow him then we will be changed by doing so. Matthew 16:24 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

I am trying to hear GOD'S VOICE as I pray. I have not heard the HOLY SPIRIT yet. It scares me, but I was told not to force it. So hopefully he will one day. Please pray for me if you have the time. GOD BLESS YOU AND LISA and your children.🕊️🕊️👑🙏

There’s freedom in Jesus Christ. Even as we are faced with our toughest battles. I’m a single mom raising my two children with special needs. I’m overwhelmed at times because they are all I have. I recently started homeschooling my sons because they were having so many issues in school including bullying. So my hours to work are limited. Every month I’m struggling, struggling to pay rent, struggling buying groceries, struggling to do it all. Yet God gives me strength. He will provide I have faith.

I agree with you on why so many have walked away from the faith, but a huge factor is that kids middle school and up are not being taught apologetics so they don’t know how to defend their faith or the Bible when they do get the college. Another thing that would really really help it preachers would get courageous and preach the whole Bible, especially Bible prophecy, considering the times were living in and the fear that people have right now, I cannot believe the pastors across America and the world are not preaching Bible prophecy at all

So true!!! I first experienced the true Presence of God, long before professing faith in Christ. Later, my sisters ushered me into the manifest Presence of the Almighty, when I was still young in Christ. Those experiences keep me in “the faith”, when others would have left, a longtime ago, after suffering all of the demonic attacks that I have, since my initial profession of faith in JESUS Christ.

Two times in my life, well, three, I have been in the physical presence of the Lord. All of them were unscripted and I was at my worst each time, but each time I was desperately seeking Him. There have been other times, like right now, that I am desperately seeking Him and it's silence.and I repeat back to the Lord He is real, He has met me before. That's why I hang on and it's getting tougher to hang on. I agree with seeking a purity in this life, not chasing after the things of the flesh because that's death and I want life.

I’ve hated injustice all my life. To me, to make the sinful choice is to choose to be unjust, to practice injustice. So when confronted with temptation or the opportunity to make a sinful choice, to my way of thinking it has been a choice to practice either justice or injustice. Choosing justice has been the end, the goal for me. John Bevere’s message really helped clarify, and bring into focus for me, the greater goal, which is the cry of my heart, to see God. So choosing justice is not the end in itself, for as an end, it is so easy to get offended when others do not practice justice, particularly those who SHOULD choose justice. While choosing justice is always the right decision, it is not the end unto itself, rather, it is part of the process of the great goal of my life, seeing God. This message has helped me in this way. Viewing justice (holiness) in this manner helps me to put down the “pointing of the finger” (Isa. 58) and focus on seeing God as my goal.
