Quotes from John Bevere

Grace is not merely a God-given cover-up of our sin. It empowers us to live like Jesus, to rule in this life by manifesting heaven's authority and power to change our world of influence. Let

True love doesn't flatter; it's truthful.

When we pester the Lord after He has already clearly shown His will, He may step back and allow us to have our way even though it does not correspond with His original plan. When our hearts are set on a course of action, God will grant us permission, though He knows we will later answer for the course we choose.

As ofensas revelarão a fraqueza e os pontos frágeis de nossas vidas. Em geral, o ponto em que pensamos que somos fortes é a área da nossa fraqueza oculta. Ela permanecerá escondida até que uma poderosa tempestade arranque aquilo que a cobre.

There is the prophetic ministry of promise born of the will of the Father and there is the prophetic ministry born of flesh and the will of man. Though both are conceived through a genuine desire to fulfil God's plan and promise, the one birthed by flesh must be maintained by flesh while the one birthed by the Spirit will be sustained by the Spirit. Flesh reproduces flesh and therefore speaks directly to the desires of man. Spirit reproduces spirit and therefore speaks forth the desire of God.

Use your liberty in Christ to set others free, not to assert your own rights.

Se o pecado não for confrontado, pode fazer com o crente o que a kriptonita pode fazer com o Super-Homem, chegando inclusive a ponto de causar morte. Ainda sobre isso, Paulo, como pai espiritual amável que era, alerta a igreja de Corinto, e a nós, a respeito dos efeitos da kriptonita.

Never forget: it is not just outward obedience that God desires, but a broken and contrite heart, one that thirsts and hungers for the will of God.

La comunión íntima de Jehová es con los que le temen y a ellos hará conocer su pacto" (Salmo 25:14).

God has brought His Church into the wilderness. Spiritually, America is a dry and thirsty land. Our time of testing is at hand. God once again watches to see whether His people will seek His face or His hand. His face represents His character and nature; it denotes a relationship. His hand represents His provision and power. If you seek only His hand, you may not recognize His face. But if you know the face, you will know His hand.

I believe we are trying to understand kingdom principles with a democratic mindset. It is programmed into our core thinking and reasoning. God is a dictator. Thankfully he is a benevolent one. but he has the final say in all aspects of life…..If we are going to try and follow God, we simply cannot use democratic reasoning in the way we respond to his leadership

It's possible to want intellectual stimulation, emotional gratification and social usefulness but not to want God. Because if you really want God in your life, you have to give up your own will, and that shows us the difference between someone who is actually trying to use God and someone who is trying to serve God. to use God is to seek him for what we can get out of Him. To serve God, is to be entirely motivated by our love for him.

Jesus never used the benefits of the kingdom to entice people to follow him. When he called Peter, James, John, and the others, it wasn't follow me for what I can do for you, it was follow me for who I am.

The more extensive our comprehension of God's greatness (though in itself it is incomprehensible), the greater our capacity for fear or reverence of Him.

to fear God we must both know and obey His ways above all else.

When the plan of God for my life causes me to face my hurts and wrongful attitudes, I will not run from these things but will find healing and restoration from dealing with my hurts through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Love forgets wrongs and gives hope for the future. I commit my life to loving others and to finding opportunities for restoration, healing, and peace.

Quando você está fora da vontade de Deus, você não será uma bênção, nem será auxílio em nenhuma igreja. Quando você está fora da vontade de Deus, até os bons relacionamentos ficarão estremecidos. Nós estávamos fora da vontade de Deus.

The king was to read the Word of God every day. Why? God's wisdom and honor were to be established in his heart so that he would esteem God's ways above man's ideas.

music plays a significant, key role in cultivating an atmosphere for the presence of the Lord. It has the ability to open and prepare a person's heart.

A ousadia necessária para quebrar o poder da intimidação precisa ser alimentada com o nosso amor por Deus. "Porque Deus não nos deu o espírito de temor [de intimidação], mas de poder, de amor e de moderação" (2 Tm 1:7). Como já disse, vi homens ungidos desistirem sob o peso da intimidação durante momentos de pressão.

THE DREAM BECOMES A NIGHTMARE

The promise is nothing without Your presence!

It is an infallible truth that if we do not fear God, we will be afraid of Him at the revelation of His glory, for every knee shall bow to Him, if not out of godly fear then out of terror
