The goal is to get to Heaven...the rest are welcome bonuses...after verses like without Holiness its impossible to see God, if the days were not shortened even the elect would be deceived etc the lowest of the lowest in Heaven is better than the best this world has to offer..so a gatekeeper in Heaven is a blessing.
Earth but a million times more.. mountains, trees, flowers, grass, River of Life; so many different people from every tribe & tongue to socialize with, learn from, be taught by, serve; billions of colors that we can't see here; Praise & love toward God that moves like waves across all of heaven and back again; the city, His temple, the weight of His Presence, the Love & Joy emanating from Him that cannot be put into words, His face, His smile, the connection of relationship with God that never ends, Jesus preaching & teaching, His authority; being in complete awe of Him, reverence, Love
I expect to see Jesus face to face and be in His glorious unveiled presence forever. To run to His arms and worship at His feet. Anything else is icing on the cake.
I have no expectations for heaven, except I'll be in the presence of Jesus. It could literally be a boiling pit of lava and be heaven simply because of his presence.
There will be millions and millions of children. All those millions of aborted children are in heaven, I KNOW IT!! I believe the Lord revealed that to me when my Little brother passed away pre maturely in 2008, dec 25th(SORRY T.M.I). I would be blessed to be just a keeper at the door or to do something physical to maintain his creation! Hahaha I work with my hands so that's what I imagine I'll be doing If I am worthy of any crowns or rewards, I will forfeit them to Christ and the Holy Spirit because they keep me from turning back like Lots wife. I'm the weakest link even if I don't look like it. NEVER AGAIN! Narrow is the way, few will find it! I pray for my generation that they LIVE holy! And I pray more people in their 20's lead by example, offering themselves as a LIVING sacrifice. Titus 2 😊
My husband and I met as teens. He was raised catholic and I was Born Again..I got saved at 8 years old. then my parents fell away from the church due to a jealous pastor. My husband was never sure if Jesus is the son of God or just a great man. I made it my adult life’s mission to bring him to Jesus. We are now in our mud 40’s and he’s still not sure. I have been on fire for Jesus for the past 4 years, and my husband has been pushing away from me, falling out of love. He recently said he is considering divorce. I have heard more and more of this happening to unevenly yoked couples. I feel like there is a supernatural battle going on for the un saved spouses. I pray for every couple going through this incredibly hurtful and horrible situation. I pray our spouses are woken up by the Holy Spirit. Jesus didn’t choose perfect people to be his disciples and I didn’t choose a perfect man for my husband, I was young and didn’t realize it would come to this someday. I pray in faith that God will reach in and take the blinders off. in Jesus Holy Name AMEN!! 🙏🏼
I was engaged to a girl who knows God and loves Him, but doesn’t see the need to really change anything about our lives or do anything for Him. She eventually broke it off because my obedience to Him was too extreme. Being unequally yoked is so bitter.
Tell your husband that time is passing, Christ is returning with a sword. Your husband will have Christ's blessing or wrath. That is it. Those are his choices. There shall be zero excuses and zero bargaining. Also, tell him that I, as a redeemed child of God who has done more bad and gone further off the path than he could hope, says that he is a quantifiably stupid coward. He is the warm water that God shall spit out. Time is passing. Christ shall return with a sword. His blessing and wrath shall be instant, extreme, and eternal. Your husband gets one or the other. Choose now. Time is passing, and Christ shall return with a sword.
hi would love to talk to your husband and prove that Jesus is God, God who came in His Flesh. I was rejecting Jesus, the Trinity, and the Bible 4.5 years ago until God saved me from hell, unbelief, and demonic attacks. Once I found Jesus in all of the Bible, my faith and my love for the Word of God came back. I had tough times with my wife for 2 years and she wanted to divorce me but God helped me, gave me strength and she didn't and now we read the Bible together. I pray for all my kids that they will be saved to.
@harmonyj_nova - interesting how you've described this. This seems to be happening to us but it's confusing because there are a number of things that have become prioritized over us as a couple. I think my wife is saved, but I pray for her and our children, not knowing for sure if they are. I just want us all born again and loving the Lord Jesus. I do believe the separation of wheat and tares is the Lord's doing, however, marriage is different. It's a 3-way covenant and God hates divorce. We're not exactly happy in our marriage but I know God hates divorce so that's not really an option. If I am to suffer for the Lord then so be it. I'll remember you tonight in my prayers and will pray for you and your husband to make it through this fiery trial.
We as Christians shouldn't focus on the rewards of heaven, but fixing our eyes on Jesus and having a relationship with him is the best reward anyone can have😊
The "rewards" are the other souls that are led to Christ through our personal ministries. The love of those we served in life is the only "extra reward" given. In this capacity, we should greatly care about "the reward."
Paul said he was running his race in a way to win and he is encouraging us to do the same. Rewards actually reflects our walk with Christ. Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
@CrusaderZealot Yea, but let say if you didn't get a reward, would you stop following Christ? Are you running that race for Christ or for the reward? Honestly, I don't think we should even expect a reward from God. He gave up His own life for us on the cross so we could be happy with Him forever. He deserves us loving Him with all of our hearts. Love for God is above all rewards. I learned that when I experienced God's love for me, and He gave me a feeling what it feels like to love Him after that feeling of love, I felt terrible that I lack so much love. When you read the Bible, pay attention to love. Jesus taught a lot about love. Love your neighbor.. love your enemies... love God with all of your heart and mind... God is love...if you don't have love, you have nothing... If you have that deep love for God, you will do anything for Him, and you won that race in life, and you won't expect anything in return bc you will feel complete in Christ.
I've had a very hard life. From the time I was young. I'm alive because of the Lord. My biggest goal is to seek God, finish my race & the Lord say I'm proud of you daughter. I'm far from perfect at it. But I'll never give up. He's teaching me rn to love my self & I'm already 51. Jesus knows our hearts. He knows where we stand. My kingdom purpose is my number one goal!
What if meeting with Him and talking with Him is the reward? I believe being part of ruling His government will be reserved for the obedient faithful servants.
I hate to pop anyone's "My Reward and Crown Will Be Bigger Than Yours" fest but everything will be laid at the feet of Jesus. He is the only one worthy of it.
You believe in a lie your religion of love committed such a crimes ask the native Americans and the middle age tons of people were mutilated or burned, killed as witches or pagans/ foreign gods or mages because they knew how to use natural herbal knowledge and the church thought that was dark magic. Stupidity at it's finest and a flock of sheep's. Remember you killed Galileo ? because he said earth is round and not flat? yeah high authorities in church did this and sometimes the flock was used against people like them.
I think it’s worth noting that this isn’t necessarily about good works, this is about living in faith! And through that faith good works will naturally come. But it’s all about faith in Jesus.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are His Workmanship Created in Christ Jesus For Good Works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Yes, all part of The Faith, in Jesus!!! 🙌 🕊️ ❤️🤴❤️ 🕊️ 🙌
@@kris78787his faith was credited to him as righteousness bcos he came out from a family that deals with idols. faith and works will definitely give us the grace of GOD 😊
Faith requires repentance and repentance requires a 180 degree turn. Which in turn produces the works you're looking for. But you can have faith but if repentance without a process of change. It's blasphemous in the eyes of the Lord
Urgent Prayer Request:Please pray for my wife as she prepares for her interview on Monday. May God's divine guidance and presence be with her, granting her:- Confidence and peace- Clarity of thought.
When we are judged at the judgment seat of Christ, our works will be tried. Jesus will see if it was of value like jewels or if it would burn up having no value. So I can see what @gailcarey3597 is saying.
I am new to the channel, and I really enjoy it so far. I was an atheist until I had a supernatural encounter with God. It's a whole new world for me and I really like your teaching style,
Mydaughter Cienna and her friend Ceana (yes, they have the same name lol) recently accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Please pray for them that they grow in Christ. Thank you!! Mama
How sweet that two friends accepted Jesus together! God is good. I pray that they grow in faith together and lean on one another when the going gets tough. Praise Jesus!
When you talk about the rewards .. I would like to remind you about the thief on the cross, he did absolutely nothing but have faith and believe and Jesus took him to Paradise.... No works for salvation no words about rewards ONLY THE GRACE OF JESUS saved that man, God Bless!
Indeed. Only the Bible does talk about rewards even IN heaven. Rewards that are given for the way we live and behave here on earth as Christians. Even those, who botch up that, still get entrance to heaven, like that thief on the cross besides Jesus, just because a person turned to Jesus. But somehow Jesus will reward those, who paid a higher price. Can't argue with that. It is in your Bible too.
He did more than most People. He was full of pain and just experienced highest cruelty and was able to feel his Heart towards the God next to him. Who loves God in deepest pain? physically, spiritually. I am struggeling
True but this is the thing about the thief on the cross..Jesus seen his heart and knew he couldn’t get off. Most people think they’ll also have a their on the cross moment but that moment was for him. Those of us alive now, need to have our moment by doing the will of our Father while it is day.
So I've been a Christian for just over 8 years. I've never heard teaching like that about worldly authority. I need to change my ways. Thank you so much.
No you really don't, listen close to what he said, and his son. Pretty much saying it's okay for political people because God put them in these spots to ro whatever, and that they won't speak against it, or out against them doing it, unless it's directly prohibiting keeping their religious beliefs, this isn't biblical, that's like say Moses shouldn't have shown anger to the Phero for the mistreatment of israel, and telling him he was wrong for keeping them. Or even more, by this guys logic he would guilt Jesus for correcting leaders enforcing their laws on the land, since the laws i.e. washing hands, doesn't hurt anyone, or hinder them from their religion, this guys logic is how dare Jesus correct a God appointed leader for leading. Its illogical, weak, not meek, and righteously sound.
Yes but saying you only will receive level one rewards or some people will make it and not have any rewards is not biblical and contradicts god promise to those who fully accepts Jesus and that will change your heart to be worthy of god promise. God is just and fair works doesn’t determine rewards your love Jesus Christ n faith will in turn will make you christ and will change your heart so u will be worthy either its all loving god with all your heart and mind and he will do the rest 💯 people gonna be confused watching this
This is very convicting and I thank Jesus for Sending me here. I married out of disobedience and I have a hard time submitting under authority.. hearing this has my heart sadden I no longer want to be a disobedience child to my Lord and King. Please pray for me and my marriage..
One thing I have noticed in this life and my walk with the Lord is how important our obedience is! Yes love is the most powerful, but obedience is right up there as well. God bless you all
But see that the thing your obedience is one with your love for god if You truly love god u will be obedient if you donr u wont it’s either you with him or against him there is no love without respect and obedience and compassion this is what people need to understand and read the context of how god is wording things people will separate obedience and love when there truly one and the same if you love God you keep his commandments. Love and Obedience are one not separated
You wont make into heaven just off works u cant just be saved and expect to go to heaven it dont work like its about FAITH!!!!!!!!!! U can be save and still not believe
Please pray that my 17yrs old son will become a born again, wise, and Spirit-filled believer like Bevere's son. I hope we could have fellowship in the Word one day like they are doing.

He will find his way back keep praying.. I’m sure my mom was in that exact spot when I was 17… I’m 25 now, time flies feels like yesterday. At that age I didn’t have a true understanding of how everything worked, he will find his way back just keep praying and don’t stop sharing Jesus with him because he will think about it when he’s alone. You’re such a sweet mama for wanting that for him, just don’t give up on him and don’t allow his bad actions as looking back on it now I respect my mom for never letting me party or do crazy stuff - I still found a way to do that crazy stuff but I love her for trying to make sure I was on the right path towards Christ now lookimg back even though at 17 I hated it cuz I wanted to have fun. He’ll learn. See u in heaven someday
@@SheepAmongG.O.A.TI can sing with the grass. I just want to roll around in it though. I hope there is beautiful lush meadows of thick soft blanket singing grass who I can sing with. Amen
This pastor has a lot of wisdom. He is right on target. I have served the Lord 50 years. All he has said I have learned also by reading God,s Word and He revealing it to me. I am an Acts 2:38 , babtized in the Holy Ghost believer for 50 years.
This verse got me out of PentecostalISM John16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into ALL truth: for *HE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF* (The Holy Ghost is not magnified but the Son) but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. *HE SHALL GLORIFY ME* (The lord Jesus) The Godhead 3 in 1 Body - The Lord Jesus Christ (Col 2:9) Soul- The Father (no one has seen his shape) Spirit- The Holy Ghost (Christs Spirit) (not person,person,person as there is only 1 image of God, The Lord Jesus Christ) Its all about the Lord Jesus There is still progressive revelation after Acts2:38 please continue reading it doesn't stop there. We are baptized into the body by the spirit, without water and without man, this is the 1 baptism Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 12 Even Eph 1:13 shows the steps of faith 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise 1-hear 2-believe 3-trust 4-sealed (Spirit baptism-no water or human) Be blessed
However I enter into eternity, all I need is to get there. As long as I’m not in hell, I will be grateful to Jesus and I will praise Him forever and ever into eternity. I don’t need anything besides myself to do that. ❤️✝️🙏
We are awarded crowns for various works that we lovingly do for God, and for loving His return. Then, like the elders, we have crowns we can cast at Jesus feet. Don't you want something you can cast, instead of coming up empty handed and your time on earth not invested in eternal pursuits for the glory of God? Remember the UNPROFITABLE servant was cast away. God is looking for a return on His investment in you.
Those rewards are given based on our service for the Lord. So actually they give glory to Him,not to us. It is not about us,it is about Him and if we dont have rewards simply means we didnt serve our Lord as we should which is a shame for us,not for Him
I love this lesson because i didn't really think about the rewards and yes being with Jesus is "enough" for me but i want to do as much as i can FOR JESUS here not for my rewards but for HIS! If I get rewards because I'm living for Him so be it but that's not why I will be doing everything for Him, I want to spread the word because I want people to see my Lord and Savior. The joy and peace throughout the good and bad are what saved me. Hell wasn't meant for us God only wants satan and his minions down there, that's why I share. ❤ May God Bless you all! 🙏
Wow, this was definitely what God has been trying to tell me for the last few weeks. I can say this was truly a message from God. Thank You Lord, for this word and bless this family (The Bevere’s). 🙏🏻🔥🇨🇦❤❤❤
I keep hearing God telling me that words is not my power - that means i'm not a teacher or a preacher, that means i have to preach to people with the way that i love them. 2 and a half years ago i moved from my home town, Odense, Denmark, to Randers, also Denmark where i live now, and He confirmed all the way through it that this is what he wanted me to do. And i asked Him at some point in the process, what He wants me here for and He answered me fairly quickly that he has put me here to cultivate my love for people.
Thank you for sharing that. It Resonated with me because I’m similar not the best with words, but I feel like God has my purpose to love people and I was trying to figure that out more too.
God dag! My grandmother was from Hadsun just north of Randers. My wife and I live in Norway now. her dad is Norwegian. Long story short: we met in Arizona and took trips here and then decided to move
@@zacharyevans8152 hey Zachary. Just wanted to let you know out of love and warning that we should say God dang or most importantly damn as it’s saying His name in vain. Bless❤️
This has to be the best sermon I’ve ever heard. Obedience to the exact principles of the word of God, irrespective of our feelings. Round of applause 👏🏾
It's so important to follow Jesus every day. I've been searching for so long, and recently was saved. I'm 75 now and only wish I had found God sooner. It bothers me that it is so late in my life....your sermon today has me feeling less. I will pray about it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and discernment. God continue to bless you. ❤
Remember even Jesus told the thief on the cross that he would be with him in paradise! Keep your head up, because truly there’s no greater reward than that, friend ❤️
Great video. Our reward is spending an eternity getting to know God and the Kingdom of Heaven. Which is what we should start doing while we are here on earth. The Kindgom of Heaven is greater than any earthly reward.
I do what i feel ...after giving the day to the Lord...i just trust i will be where God wants me to be and do as God wants me to do....im not loooking for whats in it for me. ..i don't know what impact the day i have lived will have in the hearts of anyone else...
This is the first Video I've watched from John Bevere, and my my my. You guys have earned a subscriber, From Kenya. I now umderstand why I was seeing this video on my recommendation for the past 1 week. All thanks to God and to our Lord Jesus Christ.
The "rewards" are the other souls that are led to Christ through our personal ministries. The love of those we served in life is the only "extra reward" given. In this capacity, we should greatly care about "the reward."
He is a King...He is the King of Kings...if you don't take the time to serve Him and get to know Him down here what makes you think you will be allowed to go to the Kings house? We all deserve hell so just Him saving us is more than any of us deserve but for the faithful...we desire to be close with Him throughout all eternity.
@@WikedLovely1 are you suggesting that some will be "closer" to him in the kingdom? When Christ gave himself on the cross, there was no greater love that he could give, and yet while you and I were in Sin, he died for us. What you have suggested here and elsewhere is deeply unbiblical. It is God's will that ALL receive the fullness of Christ. See Ephesians 4: " So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."
SO POWERFUL!!! HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌♥️❤ So grateful for this teaching! Arden being there is so helpful and his perspective along with John's teaching is just so amazing! So helpful and knowledgeable!! 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you very much sirs! I am genuinely grateful for the Holy spirit’s leading to your podcasts and messages. I repent from my rebellion against God’s instructions and genuinely as for his mercy in Jesus name! Amen! 🙏🏽
Salvation is an equal reward for all, not through works (so that no one can boast) rather through faith. (Ephesians 2:8) When you refer to those who's MINISTRY burns, the fruits of the ministry WERE the Reward. In other words, a Prophets "reward" are the souls that turned to Christ. A Teacher's reward are the souls who turned to Christ through godly teaching. In other words, our Reward in heaven is the love of one another. It is NOT possible for a Christian to EARN a "greater heaven" because we are not justified through works. (Galations 2:16) That being said, God loves each of us in a unique way and yes, each of us will receive healing, comfort, and love that is unique to us. Teaching Christians that they can earn a "higher heaven" than others is not only unbiblical, but betrays the truth that we cannot earn anything through works, rather, it is the work of CHRIST who perfects us when we submit to him in faith and obedience.
There will be an actual government and Kingdom in Heaven. Parable of the workers in the field is salvation for all who put their faith in Jesus...parable of the talents are the rewards for the workers. Think about the detail of the workings of the temple in the old testament...all the Isrealites were God's chosen people but not everyone got to minister at the temple. There will be different levels in Heaven meaning different responsibilities. Those at lower levels won't have put in the effort to really get to know Jesus on Earth...and won't have any idea they are missing out on authority and responsibilities given to others.
@WikedLovely1 the parable of the trustworthy servant does not mean differing heavens for believers, it means precisely what it says: God will trust you with duties: that does not mean you are better than others or deserve a "higher heaven." Isaiah teaches that our "righteous deeds are like dirty rags before the Lord." Jesus teaches that "no one is good" but God alone. Luke 17:10 teaches, "when you have done everything you were told to do, you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.'" and again, "the work of God is this: believe in the one he has sent." Be humble and serve Christ with trembling.
@@FoursideAssetManagement The Bible speaks rather often of different rewards for different people: Matthew 16:27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person *_according to what he has done._* Revelation 22:12 Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one *_for what he has done._* 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that *_each one may receive what is due_* for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Jeremiah 17:10 I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, *_according to the fruit of his deeds._* I agree that there is no 'higher heaven' but Scripture does support the concept of higher rewards.
@@FoursideAssetManagement1 Corinthians 3:10-15 "The Bible says that believers will receive rewards in heaven based on the quality of their work, which will be tested by fire." It doesn't mean any saint will be more or less, but there will be varying rewards. It's a challenge to compare it to how we understand rewards on Earth. You are both correct! Great exchange!
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, “for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” 1 Timothy 2:2 ESV
John Bevere’s teaching have changed my life. Loved the Awe of God. Good teaching. I think daily about eternity and try to live for that. It took awhile to get my eyes focused on that. God is amazing.
Wow. The words of wisdom of praying for our president / leaders regardless of how we see them was so eye opening. I repent for speaking negativity in the past about our leaders. This podcast changed my entire outlook on many things. Many blessing upon you.
My first time hearing John’s message of living with eternity in mind was decades ago at IHOP in Kansas. It is reassuring that his message is the same over time, when you walk with Jesus and talk bible your message is the same. Thank you Lord for John and his son and this podcast on YT. Amen
God is so good! I prayed for refining this morning. For Him to reveal any dross needing skimming. He was quick to answer. My sin is authority or lack thereof in respecting or submitting to it. I was not differentiaing between the seat the authority was placed in with the person(s) themselves. Thank you, John, for being a faithful steward of God's Word and messenger.
If you are able bodied, you can help bring in the Harvest of soul’s by leaving Gospel Tracts in bathroom stalls! It’s private in there and they make a choice to take it or leave it and no arguments. They then have time to read it and hopefully ask Jesus into their lives and heart!!! 🙌 🕊️ ❤️✝️❤️ 🕊️ 🙌
I better put some ice on that burn! Great word John especially about people in Authority... Been rebuked and won't stiffen my neck. Thankyou for bringing the uncompromising word of God.
Thank you for being a vessel and sharing this Word. I learned so many things, especially on authority. I was convicted by the Holy Spirit and I repented and received God’s correction. Thank you for this treasure!
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
So insightful and revelatory. The part that convicted me the most was the part about submitting to authority… this was an area that God revealed was keeping me stagnant. God cannot promote us when we have a posture that does not submit. After I repented I felt a release of bondage in my heart. I literally felt set free. Praise God for this podcast. God speed 🙏❤️
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
This is my first time coming across this channel, and I loved the dialogue! You guys convicted me about things I had never considered, especially about criticizing the presidential authority, which I’ve been guilty of.
Wow ... great lesson ... I will continue to listen to your teachings. Thank again John ... I hope you approve that I share this teaching with others in the group, I am leaving for Lithuania in March 2025 and will be ministering to those who desire to be disciple. Thank you again
I've been reading " Driven By Eternity " and l had to take the truth you wrote a little bit at a time. It was a little hard to assimilate but so necessary for the body of Christ! I'm praying even more fervently for my family and friends. Thank you!
First video I’ve watched of y’all, I subscribed to your content right after the Lot conversation. Thank y’all for allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal more depth to my knowledge of Genesis. I will look into your content because I judge your fruit and my discernment leads me to believe this is truth. God bless
Great teaching. I repented. Will pray every time i feel the to voice my grumbling. I may become the poster child for the verse that tells us to pray without ceeasing.
God bless you and your family John. Keep doing what you are doing. I was given one of your books many years ago (Under Cover). I can’t believe I have only just subscribed to your channel. Look forward to hearing more of your wisdom 🙏🏼
Your message to me was straight from God and how to operate here on earth and to know what you’re up against and to earn what is ours in heaven, your words are going to make me what God wants me to be instead of what I wanna be in your message today was so direct I thank God first and then I thank you! ❤
I was texting with an old friend and praying as insane as it might sound, listening to this video… and I was repeating things as you said them and the Holy Spirit moved and wow. Thank you for your “yes”
Lord Jesus my KING please give me strength. I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus hear my prayers.❤️💕
May God remember you and give you a double portion for your faithfulness. I would recommend getting plugged into a local church because God always uses people to strengthen us in our moments of deepest needs, just as we have been for those in need. Never EVER GIVE UP. You were called to suffer for doing good, so keep going, persistence doesn’t even begin until you feel like giving up. It’s the one who’s endured to the end who will be saved.
This person "dry begs" on Christian channels all day, every day, for years. If you don't believe me start looking for childofgod posts. Their story changes all the time - the kids are autistic, or physically disabled, they lost their job because they refused the vaxx, or they had to leave their husband because of physical abuse, or he died leaving them in debt, blah blah blah. I am one of the most compassionate people you will ever meet and it took years of this to turn me against them. I've prayed for them many times and nothing changes. For YEARS.
I loved this video! I've been feeling called to serve God full time. I'm a single parent and I own an engineering business which is very successful but daily I crave being at church full time. I keep praying for discernment with what to do.
Wonderful direction! Follow God's leadership in your praying! I will be praying with you! A great book with your Bible reading for you would be John Piper's book titled "Don't Waste Your Life," See if there's a Christian businessmen group doing it study on it. Onward and upward!
Praying for you as well! I am a mom and work Sunday thru Thursday so I do not get a chance to attend a church setting but watch my mothers home church online. From mommy to mommy take sometime to study God’s word pray for guidance and mediate on his word. 🤍🙏🏽
I think God chose our level and position in Heaven even before we were born. It us up to us to be faithful and do the Father's will here on earth. If we are faithful to our calling, He will reward us with what He already preplanned for us.
Love this thought...I agree because God exists outside of time He knew which ones would answer His call. I'm learning to just trust His plan for my life...because it's like training for who I'll be in His eternal Kingdom.
Paul wanted to present every believer perfect before God. We will be judged and rewarded according to what we do. 2 Tim 2:19-21 Paul tells us what happens to a believer who doesn't purge themselves of their iniquity, but they are still in God's House. God has not predetermined our position and our rewards. We still have a judgment coming that will determine that. The more we are "about our Father's business" the better our reward. Our reward will be Glory.
@bugsocsollie1694 Jesus told his disciples that if they were faithful they would sit on 12 thrones and judge the 12 tribes of Israel. I totally believe that the Father predestined what their roles/callings were in the Millennial Kingdom, but we have to be faithful to receive that.
@kris78787 We don't receive that. The Disciples will receive that. We do not rule on earth with Christ. We rule over the earth and over the Angels (1 Cor 6:2-3). On earth they will be equal to the Angels (Luke 20:36). Israel's doctrine is not for the Body of Christ Church. They will be on earth forever. We will be in Heaven forever. 2 Cor 5:1
@bugsocsollie1694 I know we don't receive that, that's their specific calling God already chose for them. If the Father knows the plans for the 12 disciples then why wouldn't He know the plans for us too? You don't think the Father is in control and already knows everything? He is God, He chooses and we are faithful to walk it out. Just like He chose the disciples plans. He already knows everything. He knew us before we were even born, and every one of our days was already written down before we ever even lived them.
You do not need to be qualified to access the throne room now..but on the day of judgement we will first have to be qualified to access anything heavenly. Everyday we live working out our salvation in fear and trembling!
Wow, unimaginable, much more than we expect. Being able to be in the tangible presence and love of God for eternity, magnifying our Glorious Father and Lord for all that He is and done.
John, l had to pass this onto you, a speck in a crown is made from good deeds. A simple act of kindness for/in Christ holding the door open for someone is a pin dot of the silver used in the making of a crown, as greater deeds can even be larger designs or then even gems for certain acts, the largest red gem in the center on a crown signifies Jesus, the day of accepting Jesus as Lord. I have a feeling your crown is in gold with many gems and like signets in military with different ranks we will all recognize positions. And the best part is like your trophies..we all will throw them away, but to where they belong at the feet of Jesus. What a great day of emotion that will be. Love you brethren and still in faith for the day to have a seat at the table
What do you expect Heaven to be like?
The goal is to get to Heaven...the rest are welcome bonuses...after verses like without Holiness its impossible to see God, if the days were not shortened even the elect would be deceived etc the lowest of the lowest in Heaven is better than the best this world has to offer..so a gatekeeper in Heaven is a blessing.
Earth but a million times more.. mountains, trees, flowers, grass, River of Life; so many different people from every tribe & tongue to socialize with, learn from, be taught by, serve; billions of colors that we can't see here; Praise & love toward God that moves like waves across all of heaven and back again; the city, His temple, the weight of His Presence, the Love & Joy emanating from Him that cannot be put into words, His face, His smile, the connection of relationship with God that never ends, Jesus preaching & teaching, His authority; being in complete awe of Him, reverence, Love
I expect to see Jesus face to face and be in His glorious unveiled presence forever. To run to His arms and worship at His feet. Anything else is icing on the cake.
I have no expectations for heaven, except I'll be in the presence of Jesus.
It could literally be a boiling pit of lava and be heaven simply because of his presence.
There will be millions and millions of children. All those millions of aborted children are in heaven, I KNOW IT!!
I believe the Lord revealed that to me when my Little brother passed away pre maturely in 2008, dec 25th(SORRY T.M.I).
I would be blessed to be just a keeper at the door or to do something physical to maintain his creation! Hahaha I work with my hands so that's what I imagine I'll be doing
If I am worthy of any crowns or rewards, I will forfeit them to Christ and the Holy Spirit because they keep me from turning back like Lots wife. I'm the weakest link even if I don't look like it. NEVER AGAIN!
Narrow is the way, few will find it! I pray for my generation that they LIVE holy! And I pray more people in their 20's lead by example, offering themselves as a LIVING sacrifice.
Titus 2 😊
My husband and I met as teens. He was raised catholic and I was Born Again..I got saved at 8 years old. then my parents fell away from the church due to a jealous pastor. My husband was never sure if Jesus is the son of God or just a great man. I made it my adult life’s mission to bring him to Jesus. We are now in our mud 40’s and he’s still not sure. I have been on fire for Jesus for the past 4 years, and my husband has been pushing away from me, falling out of love. He recently said he is considering divorce. I have heard more and more of this happening to unevenly yoked couples. I feel like there is a supernatural battle going on for the un saved spouses. I pray for every couple going through this incredibly hurtful and horrible situation. I pray our spouses are woken up by the Holy Spirit. Jesus didn’t choose perfect people to be his disciples and I didn’t choose a perfect man for my husband, I was young and didn’t realize it would come to this someday. I pray in faith that God will reach in and take the blinders off. in Jesus Holy Name AMEN!! 🙏🏼
I was engaged to a girl who knows God and loves Him, but doesn’t see the need to really change anything about our lives or do anything for Him. She eventually broke it off because my obedience to Him was too extreme. Being unequally yoked is so bitter.
Tell your husband that time is passing, Christ is returning with a sword. Your husband will have Christ's blessing or wrath. That is it. Those are his choices. There shall be zero excuses and zero bargaining. Also, tell him that I, as a redeemed child of God who has done more bad and gone further off the path than he could hope, says that he is a quantifiably stupid coward. He is the warm water that God shall spit out. Time is passing. Christ shall return with a sword. His blessing and wrath shall be instant, extreme, and eternal. Your husband gets one or the other. Choose now. Time is passing, and Christ shall return with a sword.
hi would love to talk to your husband and prove that Jesus is God, God who came in His Flesh. I was rejecting Jesus, the Trinity, and the Bible 4.5 years ago until God saved me from hell, unbelief, and demonic attacks. Once I found Jesus in all of the Bible, my faith and my love for the Word of God came back. I had tough times with my wife for 2 years and she wanted to divorce me but God helped me, gave me strength and she didn't and now we read the Bible together. I pray for all my kids that they will be saved to.
May the almighty GOD bless and keep you amen 🙏
@harmonyj_nova - interesting how you've described this. This seems to be happening to us but it's confusing because there are a number of things that have become prioritized over us as a couple. I think my wife is saved, but I pray for her and our children, not knowing for sure if they are. I just want us all born again and loving the Lord Jesus.
I do believe the separation of wheat and tares is the Lord's doing, however, marriage is different. It's a 3-way covenant and God hates divorce. We're not exactly happy in our marriage but I know God hates divorce so that's not really an option. If I am to suffer for the Lord then so be it.
I'll remember you tonight in my prayers and will pray for you and your husband to make it through this fiery trial.
We as Christians shouldn't focus on the rewards of heaven, but fixing our eyes on Jesus and having a relationship with him is the best reward anyone can have😊
The "rewards" are the other souls that are led to Christ through our personal ministries. The love of those we served in life is the only "extra reward" given. In this capacity, we should greatly care about "the reward."
Paul said he was running his race in a way to win and he is encouraging us to do the same. Rewards actually reflects our walk with Christ.
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
@FoursideAssetManagement Yes, for sure.
@CrusaderZealot Yea, but let say if you didn't get a reward, would you stop following Christ? Are you running that race for Christ or for the reward? Honestly, I don't think we should even expect a reward from God. He gave up His own life for us on the cross so we could be happy with Him forever. He deserves us loving Him with all of our hearts. Love for God is above all rewards. I learned that when I experienced God's love for me, and He gave me a feeling what it feels like to love Him after that feeling of love, I felt terrible that I lack so much love. When you read the Bible, pay attention to love. Jesus taught a lot about love. Love your neighbor.. love your enemies... love God with all of your heart and mind... God is love...if you don't have love, you have nothing... If you have that deep love for God, you will do anything for Him, and you won that race in life, and you won't expect anything in return bc you will feel complete in Christ.
I've had a very hard life. From the time I was young. I'm alive because of the Lord. My biggest goal is to seek God, finish my race & the Lord say I'm proud of you daughter. I'm far from perfect at it. But I'll never give up. He's teaching me rn to love my self & I'm already 51. Jesus knows our hearts. He knows where we stand. My kingdom purpose is my number one goal!
Honestly just meeting Jesus' and talking to the creator of everything and anything is the reward for me.
fr because i don’t want a mansion or whatever, all i want is to meet Jesus and hang out with him everyday.
Fr
What if meeting with Him and talking with Him is the reward? I believe being part of ruling His government will be reserved for the obedient faithful servants.
I will gladly sweep the streets in his kingdom!
God wants to reward you. We should do the good works He's prepared for us to do.
I hate to pop anyone's "My Reward and Crown Will Be Bigger Than Yours" fest but everything will be laid at the feet of Jesus. He is the only one worthy of it.
It made me extremely uneasy hearing him comparing entering heaven without “rewards” to losing your house and everything you own when you retire…
No kidding. Blessings are absolutely different because we are all different but nobody is better than anyone else.
Agreed
@@masonmcgahey7 your heavenly rewards are based upon your earthly works. It's true, weather you like it or not.
It does mean you will have less to lay at His feet though.
being with JESUS is our greatest reward ♥️
Working closely with Jesus as he rules over the new creation would be an even greater reward
You believe in a lie your religion of love committed such a crimes ask the native Americans and the middle age tons of people were mutilated or burned, killed as witches or pagans/ foreign gods or mages because they knew how to use natural herbal knowledge and the church thought that was dark magic. Stupidity at it's finest and a flock of sheep's. Remember you killed Galileo ? because he said earth is round and not flat? yeah high authorities in church did this and sometimes the flock was used against people like them.
Amen and Amen! ❤️ 🙏
The Kingdom is now and the "rewards" are not earned.
Hallelujah ❤❤❤
I think it’s worth noting that this isn’t necessarily about good works, this is about living in faith! And through that faith good works will naturally come. But it’s all about faith in Jesus.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are His Workmanship Created in Christ Jesus For Good Works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Yes, all part of The Faith, in Jesus!!!
🙌 🕊️ ❤️🤴❤️ 🕊️ 🙌
God wants us to be faithful. Abraham was made righteous because of his faith.
@@kris78787we can't do any good works unless the Lord raises us up to do good works and that's by his spirit and nothing of ourselves.
@@kris78787his faith was credited to him as righteousness bcos he came out from a family that deals with idols. faith and works will definitely give us the grace of GOD 😊
Faith requires repentance and repentance requires a 180 degree turn. Which in turn produces the works you're looking for. But you can have faith but if repentance without a process of change. It's blasphemous in the eyes of the Lord
Urgent Prayer Request:Please pray for my wife as she prepares for her interview on Monday. May God's divine guidance and presence be with her, granting her:- Confidence and peace- Clarity of thought.
Believe it,it will come to pass
May God’s will be done…..
The same God who helped me last week at my interview and getting the job within hours, he will help your wife too.
🙏
I prayed. How'd it go?
The reward to me is seeing my Savior, Jesus Christ
My pastor said, “You don’t want to enter into the kingdom smelling like smoke.”
lol :D
Would not be able to enter like that any way! Too much of what many pastors say and not enough of what God says.
God cleanses us so we could never enter into the kingdom that way.
When we are judged at the judgment seat of Christ, our works will be tried. Jesus will see if it was of value like jewels or if it would burn up having no value. So I can see what @gailcarey3597 is saying.
lol right, today is the day of salvation, I wouldn't want to be a last second believer either., at least they made it in but still
I am new to the channel, and I really enjoy it so far. I was an atheist until I had a supernatural encounter with God. It's a whole new world for me and I really like your teaching style,
Thankyou for sharing pray for my dad who is an atheist.
everyone seems to be kinda atheist until God shows up and touches our heats :)
God bless, brother. See you soon in His Kingdom!!
@@Jesus_is_Lord_316 Thanks!
Welcome brother
6.30 sex with angels ??? No the angels turned to humans so they can sex with the woman not the other way around
Mydaughter Cienna and her friend Ceana (yes, they have the same name lol) recently accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Please pray for them that they grow in Christ. Thank you!! Mama
How sweet that two friends accepted Jesus together! God is good. I pray that they grow in faith together and lean on one another when the going gets tough. Praise Jesus!
When you talk about the rewards
.. I would like to remind you about the thief on the cross, he did absolutely nothing but have faith and believe and Jesus took him to Paradise.... No works for salvation no words about rewards ONLY THE GRACE OF JESUS saved that man, God Bless!
Yesss! Amen
Indeed. Only the Bible does talk about rewards even IN heaven. Rewards that are given for the way we live and behave here on earth as Christians.
Even those, who botch up that, still get entrance to heaven, like that thief on the cross besides Jesus, just because a person turned to Jesus. But somehow Jesus will reward those, who paid a higher price. Can't argue with that. It is in your Bible too.
He did more than most People. He was full of pain and just experienced highest cruelty and was able to feel his Heart towards the God next to him.
Who loves God in deepest pain? physically, spiritually.
I am struggeling
@@spirit.of.discernment what are you doing to win souls for christ the saviour 😊
True but this is the thing about the thief on the cross..Jesus seen his heart and knew he couldn’t get off.
Most people think they’ll also have a their on the cross moment but that moment was for him.
Those of us alive now, need to have our moment by doing the will of our Father while it is day.
So I've been a Christian for just over 8 years. I've never heard teaching like that about worldly authority. I need to change my ways. Thank you so much.
GOD bless and keep you Amen 🙏
No you really don't, listen close to what he said, and his son. Pretty much saying it's okay for political people because God put them in these spots to ro whatever, and that they won't speak against it, or out against them doing it, unless it's directly prohibiting keeping their religious beliefs, this isn't biblical, that's like say Moses shouldn't have shown anger to the Phero for the mistreatment of israel, and telling him he was wrong for keeping them. Or even more, by this guys logic he would guilt Jesus for correcting leaders enforcing their laws on the land, since the laws i.e. washing hands, doesn't hurt anyone, or hinder them from their religion, this guys logic is how dare Jesus correct a God appointed leader for leading. Its illogical, weak, not meek, and righteously sound.
Yes but saying you only will receive level one rewards or some people will make it and not have any rewards is not biblical and contradicts god promise to those who fully accepts Jesus and that will change your heart to be worthy of god promise. God is just and fair works doesn’t determine rewards your love Jesus Christ n faith will in turn will make you christ and will change your heart so u will be worthy either its all loving god with all your heart and mind and he will do the rest 💯 people gonna be confused watching this
This is very convicting and I thank Jesus for Sending me here. I married out of disobedience and I have a hard time submitting under authority.. hearing this has my heart sadden I no longer want to be a disobedience child to my Lord and King. Please pray for me and my marriage..
Any level in Heaven is better than Hell please stay with Jesus finish the race with Jesus let’s pray for one another at all times❤️
Very true, which is why there won't be any jealousy or sadness. You don't miss what you don't know.
One thing I have noticed in this life and my walk with the Lord is how important our obedience is! Yes love is the most powerful, but obedience is right up there as well.
God bless you all
But see that the thing your obedience is one with your love for god if You truly love god u will be obedient if you donr u wont it’s either you with him or against him there is no love without respect and obedience and compassion this is what people need to understand and read the context of how god is wording things people will separate obedience and love when there truly one and the same if you love God you keep his commandments. Love and Obedience are one not separated
You wont make into heaven just off works u cant just be saved and expect to go to heaven it dont work like its about FAITH!!!!!!!!!! U can be save and still not believe
Please pray that my 17yrs old son will become a born again, wise, and Spirit-filled believer like Bevere's son. I hope we could have fellowship in the Word one day like they are doing.

Prayers sent…..
He will find his way back keep praying.. I’m sure my mom was in that exact spot when I was 17… I’m 25 now, time flies feels like yesterday. At that age I didn’t have a true understanding of how everything worked, he will find his way back just keep praying and don’t stop sharing Jesus with him because he will think about it when he’s alone. You’re such a sweet mama for wanting that for him, just don’t give up on him and don’t allow his bad actions as looking back on it now I respect my mom for never letting me party or do crazy stuff - I still found a way to do that crazy stuff but I love her for trying to make sure I was on the right path towards Christ now lookimg back even though at 17 I hated it cuz I wanted to have fun. He’ll learn. See u in heaven someday
This is what I think Heaven will be like...😇
Absolute unconditional love and joy unspeakable and full of glory... blissful beyond human words!🙌🏼 ❤️
Well be worshiping our Father constantly, even the grass will sing.
@@SheepAmongG.O.A.TI can sing with the grass. I just want to roll around in it though. I hope there is beautiful lush meadows of thick soft blanket singing grass who I can sing with. Amen
This pastor has a lot of wisdom. He is right on target. I have served the Lord 50 years. All he has said I have learned also by reading God,s Word and He revealing it to me. I am an Acts 2:38 , babtized in the Holy Ghost believer for 50 years.
This verse got me out of PentecostalISM
John16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into ALL truth: for *HE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF* (The Holy Ghost is not magnified but the Son) but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
*HE SHALL GLORIFY ME* (The lord Jesus)
The Godhead 3 in 1
Body - The Lord Jesus Christ (Col 2:9)
Soul- The Father (no one has seen his shape)
Spirit- The Holy Ghost (Christs Spirit)
(not person,person,person as there is only 1 image of God, The Lord Jesus Christ)
Its all about the Lord Jesus
There is still progressive revelation after Acts2:38 please continue reading it doesn't stop there.
We are baptized into the body by the spirit, without water and without man, this is the 1 baptism Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 12
Even Eph 1:13 shows the steps of faith
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise
1-hear
2-believe
3-trust
4-sealed (Spirit baptism-no water or human)
Be blessed
I mean, this has to be one of the greatest podcast episodes I’ve ever heard my entire life from start to finish.
I cannot agree more!!! 💯💯💯
Man. Just imagine. Just making it alone in the BOOK OF LIFE 📖 . THANK YOU JESUS! ❤️🙌🏼🙏🏼✝️
Amen
However I enter into eternity, all I need is to get there. As long as I’m not in hell, I will be grateful to Jesus and I will praise Him forever and ever into eternity. I don’t need anything besides myself to do that. ❤️✝️🙏
We are awarded crowns for various works that we lovingly do for God, and for loving His return. Then, like the elders, we have crowns we can cast at Jesus feet. Don't you want something you can cast, instead of coming up empty handed and your time on earth not invested in eternal pursuits for the glory of God? Remember the UNPROFITABLE servant was cast away. God is looking for a return on His investment in you.
Jesus is THE best and incomparable reward. His presence is everything.
Jesus is my reward, I just want to be with him❤❤❤❤
💯
AMEN
Those rewards are given based on our service for the Lord. So actually they give glory to Him,not to us. It is not about us,it is about Him and if we dont have rewards simply means we didnt serve our Lord as we should which is a shame for us,not for Him
I love this lesson because i didn't really think about the rewards and yes being with Jesus is "enough" for me but i want to do as much as i can FOR JESUS here not for my rewards but for HIS! If I get rewards because I'm living for Him so be it but that's not why I will be doing everything for Him, I want to spread the word because I want people to see my Lord and Savior. The joy and peace throughout the good and bad are what saved me. Hell wasn't meant for us God only wants satan and his minions down there, that's why I share. ❤ May God Bless you all! 🙏
Wow, this was definitely what God has been trying to tell me for the last few weeks. I can say this was truly a message from God. Thank You Lord, for this word and bless this family (The Bevere’s). 🙏🏻🔥🇨🇦❤❤❤
God led me years ago to honor my previous difficult bosses. He was bringing me up to a higher level.
May the almighty GOD bless and keep you Amen 🙏
He is doing this in me currently
I keep hearing God telling me that words is not my power - that means i'm not a teacher or a preacher, that means i have to preach to people with the way that i love them. 2 and a half years ago i moved from my home town, Odense, Denmark, to Randers, also Denmark where i live now, and He confirmed all the way through it that this is what he wanted me to do. And i asked Him at some point in the process, what He wants me here for and He answered me fairly quickly that he has put me here to cultivate my love for people.
Hello! I think Denmark is a beautiful place. Have you heard of a controversial name Torben Søndergaard? What do you think of him? God bless you!
Thank you for sharing that. It Resonated with me because I’m similar not the best with words, but I feel like God has my purpose to love people and I was trying to figure that out more too.
Praise God!
God dag! My grandmother was from Hadsun just north of Randers. My wife and I live in Norway now. her dad is Norwegian. Long story short: we met in Arizona and took trips here and then decided to move
@@zacharyevans8152 hey Zachary. Just wanted to let you know out of love and warning that we should say God dang or most importantly damn as it’s saying His name in vain. Bless❤️
This has to be the best sermon I’ve ever heard. Obedience to the exact principles of the word of God, irrespective of our feelings. Round of applause 👏🏾
It's so important to follow Jesus every day. I've been searching for so long, and recently was saved. I'm 75 now and only wish I had found God sooner. It bothers me that it is so late in my life....your sermon today has me feeling less. I will pray about it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and discernment. God continue to bless you. ❤
Remember even Jesus told the thief on the cross that he would be with him in paradise! Keep your head up, because truly there’s no greater reward than that, friend ❤️
Great video. Our reward is spending an eternity getting to know God and the Kingdom of Heaven. Which is what we should start doing while we are here on earth. The Kindgom of Heaven is greater than any earthly reward.

I now umderstand why I was seeing this video on my recommendation for the past 1 week. All thanks to God and to our Lord Jesus Christ.
I honestly dont care about the rewards. Just making it to Heaven and meeting the being I've read about and prayed to is enough
The "rewards" are the other souls that are led to Christ through our personal ministries. The love of those we served in life is the only "extra reward" given. In this capacity, we should greatly care about "the reward."
You really should care because they reflect how you lived or not lived for Him.
You should care troy
He is a King...He is the King of Kings...if you don't take the time to serve Him and get to know Him down here what makes you think you will be allowed to go to the Kings house? We all deserve hell so just Him saving us is more than any of us deserve but for the faithful...we desire to be close with Him throughout all eternity.
@@WikedLovely1 are you suggesting that some will be "closer" to him in the kingdom? When Christ gave himself on the cross, there was no greater love that he could give, and yet while you and I were in Sin, he died for us. What you have suggested here and elsewhere is deeply unbiblical. It is God's will that ALL receive the fullness of Christ. See Ephesians 4: " So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."
SO POWERFUL!!! HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌♥️❤ So grateful for this teaching! Arden being there is so helpful and his perspective along with John's teaching is just so amazing! So helpful and knowledgeable!! 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you very much sirs!
I am genuinely grateful for the Holy spirit’s leading to your podcasts and messages.
I repent from my rebellion against God’s instructions and genuinely as for his mercy in Jesus name! Amen! 🙏🏽
Your son is a very compassionate and caring person...real gracious pastor heart❤
PRAYER'S NEEDED 💯 Everyday 🙏.
Salvation is an equal reward for all, not through works (so that no one can boast) rather through faith. (Ephesians 2:8) When you refer to those who's MINISTRY burns, the fruits of the ministry WERE the Reward. In other words, a Prophets "reward" are the souls that turned to Christ. A Teacher's reward are the souls who turned to Christ through godly teaching. In other words, our Reward in heaven is the love of one another. It is NOT possible for a Christian to EARN a "greater heaven" because we are not justified through works. (Galations 2:16) That being said, God loves each of us in a unique way and yes, each of us will receive healing, comfort, and love that is unique to us. Teaching Christians that they can earn a "higher heaven" than others is not only unbiblical, but betrays the truth that we cannot earn anything through works, rather, it is the work of CHRIST who perfects us when we submit to him in faith and obedience.
There will be an actual government and Kingdom in Heaven. Parable of the workers in the field is salvation for all who put their faith in Jesus...parable of the talents are the rewards for the workers. Think about the detail of the workings of the temple in the old testament...all the Isrealites were God's chosen people but not everyone got to minister at the temple. There will be different levels in Heaven meaning different responsibilities. Those at lower levels won't have put in the effort to really get to know Jesus on Earth...and won't have any idea they are missing out on authority and responsibilities given to others.
@WikedLovely1 the parable of the trustworthy servant does not mean differing heavens for believers, it means precisely what it says: God will trust you with duties: that does not mean you are better than others or deserve a "higher heaven." Isaiah teaches that our "righteous deeds are like dirty rags before the Lord." Jesus teaches that "no one is good" but God alone. Luke 17:10 teaches, "when you have done everything you were told to do, you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.'" and again, "the work of God is this: believe in the one he has sent." Be humble and serve Christ with trembling.
@@FoursideAssetManagement The Bible speaks rather often of different rewards for different people:
Matthew 16:27
For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person *_according to what he has done._*
Revelation 22:12
Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one *_for what he has done._*
2 Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that *_each one may receive what is due_* for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
Jeremiah 17:10
I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, *_according to the fruit of his deeds._*
I agree that there is no 'higher heaven'
but Scripture does support the concept of higher rewards.
@@WikedLovely1That's correct! Amen 🙏
@@FoursideAssetManagement1 Corinthians 3:10-15
"The Bible says that believers will receive rewards in heaven based on the quality of their work, which will be tested by fire."
It doesn't mean any saint will be more or less, but there will be varying rewards. It's a challenge to compare it to how we understand rewards on Earth. You are both correct! Great exchange!
Thank you for preaching so firmly on the truth of God's word. My heart breaks for America. Crying out for a move of God in my generation
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, “for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.”
1 Timothy 2:2 ESV
I feel convicted after watching this regarding our presidency. Thanks for shining the truth. I'll pray for him and ask forgiveness. Thank you
May the almighty GOD bless you and your family’s Amen 🙏
I appreciate your discussion with your son and this preaching so much and praise Jesus and thank you both
John Bevere’s teaching have changed my life. Loved the Awe of God. Good teaching. I think daily about eternity and try to live for that. It took awhile to get my eyes focused on that. God is amazing.
Wow. The words of wisdom of praying for our president / leaders regardless of how we see them was so eye opening. I repent for speaking negativity in the past about our leaders. This podcast changed my entire outlook on many things. Many blessing upon you.
My first time hearing John’s message of living with eternity in mind was decades ago at IHOP in Kansas. It is reassuring that his message is the same over time, when you walk with Jesus and talk bible your message is the same. Thank you Lord for John and his son and this podcast on YT. Amen
God is so good! I prayed for refining this morning. For Him to reveal any dross needing skimming. He was quick to answer. My sin is authority or lack thereof in respecting or submitting to it. I was not differentiaing between the seat the authority was placed in with the person(s) themselves. Thank you, John, for being a faithful steward of God's Word and messenger.
Amen totally agree, we are living for heaven now, overcoming the lust of the flesh, eyes and the pride of life 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Amen! Lord make me useful today!
If you are able bodied, you can help bring in the Harvest of soul’s by leaving Gospel Tracts in bathroom stalls! It’s private in there and they make a choice to take it or leave it and no arguments. They then have time to read it and hopefully ask Jesus into their lives and heart!!!
🙌 🕊️ ❤️✝️❤️ 🕊️ 🙌
Thank you John for sharing your blessings and understanding , GOD bless you
I love the quicksand analogy, Aiden!! In order for that person to get out is surrender, stop fighting and lay down! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I better put some ice on that burn! Great word John especially about people in Authority... Been rebuked and won't stiffen my neck. Thankyou for bringing the uncompromising word of God.
Thank you for being a vessel and sharing this Word. I learned so many things, especially on authority. I was convicted by the Holy Spirit and I repented and received God’s correction. Thank you for this treasure!
May the almighty GOD bless you and your family’s amen 🙏
Being in God's presence is the reward 🙏😊
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
So insightful and revelatory. The part that convicted me the most was the part about submitting to authority… this was an area that God revealed was keeping me stagnant. God cannot promote us when we have a posture that does not submit. After I repented I felt a release of bondage in my heart. I literally felt set free. Praise God for this podcast. God speed 🙏❤️
Glory to JESUS!!!!
AMEN❤
Blessings to the Bevere Family 🙏🙏🙏
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
This is my first time coming across this channel, and I loved the dialogue! You guys convicted me about things I had never considered, especially about criticizing the presidential authority, which I’ve been guilty of.
John, I am the Representative of ISOM in Nigeria. I am 82 year old, and are told I look 65/70.
I lean on Yeshua’s strength.
We ARE republic Not a democracy. 😊 Love this podcast. ♡♡
Powerful teaching. So happy I came across this channel
Wonderful teaching! Thank you.
being with JESUS is our greatest reward
Absolutely Powerful FEAST; study of the scriptures! I really enjoyed this! Carry on, John and Arden!
Wow ... great lesson ... I will continue to listen to your teachings. Thank again John ... I hope you approve that I share this teaching with others in the group, I am leaving for Lithuania in March 2025 and will be ministering to those who desire to be disciple. Thank you again
Love you and your family. You say the truth even went I don’t want to hear it or am ashamed how I feel. Thank you John
This might be one of the best podcast I have seen. I’m deeply involved in politics and this really shed light on a corrupt America
my Lord Jesus is enough for me, and eternal life. what more can i ask for?
"The day we start living for eternity as believers is the day we start living, not the day we die" - John Bevere
WOW this was such an amazing and thought provoking message, stumbled up this and will not stop listening to TRUTH
I've been reading " Driven By Eternity " and l had to take the truth you wrote a little bit at a time. It was a little hard to assimilate but so necessary for the body of Christ! I'm praying even more fervently for my family and friends. Thank you!
“The last will be first and the first will be last”
I hope this is factored into whatever competition for grace is presented here.
Or it's how leaders must also be servants, there's ranks that's that
The Last are coming, the First are already occupying their places. ❤
Even if I’m allocated at the bottom of the totem pole in the kingdom of heaven with Jesus, I couldn’t be more blessed
First video I’ve watched of y’all, I subscribed to your content right after the Lot conversation. Thank y’all for allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal more depth to my knowledge of Genesis. I will look into your content because I judge your fruit and my discernment leads me to believe this is truth. God bless
I believe there will be millions of children in Heaven. Thank you for this, the to topic about rewards in Heaven has been on my mind for a long time.
Of course there will be, even King David knew his dead baby would be in heaven.
Great teaching. I repented. Will pray every time i feel the to voice my grumbling. I may become the poster child for the verse that tells us to pray without ceeasing.
God bless you and your family
John. Keep doing what you are doing. I was given one of your books many years ago (Under Cover). I can’t believe I have only just subscribed to your channel.
Look forward to hearing more of your wisdom 🙏🏼
Your message to me was straight from God and how to operate here on earth and to know what you’re up against and to earn what is ours in heaven, your words are going to make me what God wants me to be instead of what I wanna be in your message today was so direct I thank God first and then I thank you! ❤
I was texting with an old friend and praying as insane as it might sound, listening to this video… and I was repeating things as you said them and the Holy Spirit moved and wow. Thank you for your “yes”
Lord Jesus my KING please give me strength. I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus hear my prayers.❤️💕
Amen 🙏 I feel you! You're doing a great job God Bless ❤
🙏🏽🙏🏽
GOD blessings be upon you
May God remember you and give you a double portion for your faithfulness.
I would recommend getting plugged into a local church because God always uses people to strengthen us in our moments of deepest needs, just as we have been for those in need.
Never EVER GIVE UP. You were called to suffer for doing good, so keep going, persistence doesn’t even begin until you feel like giving up. It’s the one who’s endured to the end who will be saved.
This person "dry begs" on Christian channels all day, every day, for years. If you don't believe me start looking for childofgod posts. Their story changes all the time - the kids are autistic, or physically disabled, they lost their job because they refused the vaxx, or they had to leave their husband because of physical abuse, or he died leaving them in debt, blah blah blah. I am one of the most compassionate people you will ever meet and it took years of this to turn me against them. I've prayed for them many times and nothing changes. For YEARS.
I loved this video! I've been feeling called to serve God full time. I'm a single parent and I own an engineering business which is very successful but daily I crave being at church full time. I keep praying for discernment with what to do.
Wonderful direction! Follow God's leadership in your praying! I will be praying with you!
A great book with your Bible reading for you would be John Piper's book titled "Don't Waste Your Life,"
See if there's a Christian businessmen group doing it study on it.
Onward and upward!
God will direct your steps, and His Word will be a lamp to guide you every step of the way. Godspeed, brother.
Praying for you as well! I am a mom and work Sunday thru Thursday so I do not get a chance to attend a church setting but watch my mothers home church online. From mommy to mommy take sometime to study God’s word pray for guidance and mediate on his word. 🤍🙏🏽
The day you start living with the view of eternity in mind is the day your truly born again wow that's deep❤
Thank you guys for being true Christ-Disciples! This truly Blessed me!
Thank you for this episode. Found it really convicting, God bless you all ✝️❤️
I think God chose our level and position in Heaven even before we were born. It us up to us to be faithful and do the Father's will here on earth. If we are faithful to our calling, He will reward us with what He already preplanned for us.
Love this thought...I agree because God exists outside of time He knew which ones would answer His call. I'm learning to just trust His plan for my life...because it's like training for who I'll be in His eternal Kingdom.
Paul wanted to present every believer perfect before God. We will be judged and rewarded according to what we do. 2 Tim 2:19-21 Paul tells us what happens to a believer who doesn't purge themselves of their iniquity, but they are still in God's House. God has not predetermined our position and our rewards. We still have a judgment coming that will determine that. The more we are "about our Father's business" the better our reward. Our reward will be Glory.
@bugsocsollie1694 Jesus told his disciples that if they were faithful they would sit on 12 thrones and judge the 12 tribes of Israel. I totally believe that the Father predestined what their roles/callings were in the Millennial Kingdom, but we have to be faithful to receive that.
@kris78787 We don't receive that. The Disciples will receive that. We do not rule on earth with Christ. We rule over the earth and over the Angels (1 Cor 6:2-3). On earth they will be equal to the Angels (Luke 20:36). Israel's doctrine is not for the Body of Christ Church. They will be on earth forever. We will be in Heaven forever. 2 Cor 5:1
@bugsocsollie1694 I know we don't receive that, that's their specific calling God already chose for them. If the Father knows the plans for the 12 disciples then why wouldn't He know the plans for us too? You don't think the Father is in control and already knows everything? He is God, He chooses and we are faithful to walk it out. Just like He chose the disciples plans. He already knows everything. He knew us before we were even born, and every one of our days was already written down before we ever even lived them.
Wow. Such a meaty teaching!
All I care about is being in His throne room - and I know I will be there because I have access even now.
You do not need to be qualified to access the throne room now..but on the day of judgement we will first have to be qualified to access anything heavenly. Everyday we live working out our salvation in fear and trembling!
If you don't please GOD with your life now. GOD will cast you off and you will be brought low on the day of judgement
GOD forbid this
@@Ugohanobleman1176 she says she is in His throne room always... if its so... believe me.. it can not go bad:)
Wow, unimaginable, much more than we expect. Being able to be in the tangible presence and love of God for eternity, magnifying our Glorious Father and Lord for all that He is and done.
JESUS IS OUR REWARD 🙌🏻
John, l had to pass this onto you, a speck in a crown is made from good deeds. A simple act of kindness for/in Christ holding the door open for someone is a pin dot of the silver used in the making of a crown, as greater deeds can even be larger designs or then even gems for certain acts, the largest red gem in the center on a crown signifies Jesus, the day of accepting Jesus as Lord. I have a feeling your crown is in gold with many gems and like signets in military with different ranks we will all recognize positions. And the best part is like your trophies..we all will throw them away, but to where they belong at the feet of Jesus. What a great day of emotion that will be. Love you brethren and still in faith for the day to have a seat at the table
God is our farther
When the "authority" has you do UNGODLY things
You BETTER reject them
Respect the position, but refuse to sin. Respectfully. Like whatshisname, Mishak, and Abednigo.
My hope is to be Light with billions of others that Worship through eternity, Our Eternal God.
