"You have already filled yourself with other things" Oh how I am a living testament to that! I've undergone RADICAL change this year. I was filling my time with video games and watching garbage to pass the time. But the more I surrender things to God, the more He fills my time, the more hungry I get for him. Where I am now, I am STARVING. I've NEVER been this hungry in my entire life for Him, which DIRECTLY relates to how I've NEVER been this self-sacrificing FOR HIM in my life!
I can relate except my husband is baptized and he doesn’t have a hunger what so ever for the Word or praying with me at meals or any other time. I’m truly alone in my relationship with the Lord. It saddens me. Though I pray continually for him to have a hunger and desire for the Lord. It’s as if God has his ears shut and eyes closed. He’s occupied with other things such as sports and entertainment, and consuming food that are bad for his health. I’m reminded of a scripture in John 3:5 which says- Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. The scripture reads that a person needs to be born not only of water, But also the spirit; that is God’s Holy Spirit. If a born again believer is baptized in water but doesn’t ask for the Holy Spirit to come and live in him, and then walk in the spirit daily through prayer, bible reading, self-reflection, and meditating on the Word, then is he truly a follower of Christ? And is he truly born again? I would say, No. 😢
I can relate to you both coz my husband is not save either but he comes with me to church which is good and he pray with me whenever I ask him. We sometimes pray together before we sleep or in the morning when we get up or during our meal time. But there were times that i am very disappointed and frustrated with him coz he is not doing the things like reading a bible or he doesn’t have any desire to know more about Jesus. But I’m not giving up on praying for him and I continue to love him unconditionally because I know and I believe that God is working in his life. I may not say it right now but i know 1 day God will do a miracle in my husband’s life because our God is a miracle worker. I continue to put my trust in JESUS Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith. 🙏
I've been reading in Ezekiel how the Lord made Ezekiel eat the scroll. (His Words) Ezekiel was to digest those words, (meditate) on them and then speak them as directed. I'm also AGAIN taking the Hearing God's Voice course on Messenger X. In lesson 12, the instructor, I believe it was Chris, then referenced in Ezekiel the same thing I had just read! NOW, I'm hearing this from John and Lisa. Oh! How He loves me! I LOVE God's Word and eat and eat and eat, also providing time to digest it. ♡
Thank you for this message . I am an avid listener from Guam 🇬🇺. Your ministry has been a huge blessing for my family and I. May Jesus continue to bless y’all . ✝️🛐💟
These always arrive on my feed when I need it the most. Thank you for sharing your experiences and real/practical wisdom from lives lived walking with the Lord.
Thank you for this message. I believe after this prayer as I read the Word it will be so much more transforming. I love you two! I have been walking with the Lord for a couple years. And I want that Hunger and passion more than ever. I never want to be dry again. Thank you Jesus. ❤🙏🕊️🌹
This was amazing John and Lisa!!!! I needed this ❤ I remember craving the Word, and sometimes I tell GOD how much I miss that desire. Hearing Lisa confirm that I’m filled with other things has opened my eyes 👀! May GOD continue to bless you both, your family and your ministry
Thank u so much...I was just pleading with the Lord only 5min earlier that I need to hunger for the word... Very awesome how God hears us and answers do quickly..😊
Thank you SO MUCH for this detailed discussion on this issue. This really has been my problem: how to get back the hunger and the connection I've had with God. I've stopped attending the church services for almost 6 months now and even refrained myself from serving in worship, because I thought they would draw me closer to the Lord and wake me up. But all it did was that I was starting to feel like a hypocrite. Yet, in private, I hadn't been practicing my faith nor keeping the flame up for ages. I just feel dead inside. I hate that I've now myself ended up in this state that I despised in the church as a new believer. The state of spiritual desert of my own making, a lukewarm place where I haven't only stopped the spiritual exercises but also started to develop some really bad habits too. I have really gotten so numb and dull in my spirit and heart that I was even worried wether God is going to have to send sufferings to wake me up. I am happy, that UA-cam suggested your podcasts instead. And I'm glad that it's a conversational mode, too. My brain can just so automatically go off in the preachings. I am really starting to get my hopes up again and feel His helping me on my journey back to the fountain of life, which is Himself and His Words. Thank you and GBY both and all your offspring and endeavors 😇🩵🙏
God help me. I’m struggling to take care of my children. Both of my sons are special needs and require so much from me. I struggle providing the necessities for them, especially now that school has started. Lord Jesus I’m overwhelmed as a single mother. Please hear my prayers. I’m constantly struggling Lord give me strength I can’t do it without you.💕❤
You post this on every video. Matthew 6:7 "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."
When you say God told you certain things, are you hearing this audibly, through Scripture, etc.? Discerning God’s voice is something that I am still navigating. I have never heard Him audibly. Thank you for your message!!
Same here. A year ago i gave my life to Christ and yet i'm still navigating things. Early on when i first gave my life to Jesus, it feels like the Holy Spirit convicting me of so many things (still not audibly, just a revelation kind of feeling that i usually get while reading the bible), but it was CLEAR what i had to do. But i could pinpoint the time when i stop feeling things so clearly, it was when i disobey the conviction, i didn't do what He asked me to do. Since then i feel like i lost the presence of God and my hunger, and I have struggled to drag myself back, to force feed myself with the Word of God and pray wheter i feel His presence or not, i will pray anyway. Nowadays i'm getting confused whenever i asked something that is not in the scripture (such as should we take this person as our employee), i find it hard still to know wheter is it God's voice or my thought.
Even going through the motions is an accomplishment these days bc that discipline in tech age is a true battle. I saw a skit recently with kids, they helped choreograph it and one of their enemies was distraction...
It's the same thing if we are struggling to stay symply in the presence of God. I experience what you explained with the word. But what is when it's difficult to stay simply in the secret place? When it's difficult to doing nothing, to be silent in the presence of God? When people talk about the secret place I feel stress because it's so hard for me simply doing nothing, be silent and waiting. Can you talk about that? I think it's the same thing and we find the same answers.
Wouldnt that compromise his power? Why does he leave us when we show the desire for more ? If Iam willing why is he not multiplying our connection ? I feel like my desert season is killing me from inside out and has no purpose. The fights with devil are being too much and i feel like he has not been taking action
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Maria Elena Herrera) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
Lisa.. PLEASE PLEASE STOP CONSISTENTLY correcting your husband!! SO WHAT IF IT WASN'T SALAD in college!!! The sole action of you on ALL your videos where you call out your husband is ANNOYING AND QUIT FRANKLY DISRESPECTFUL.. It doesn't make you smarter, it doesn't make you look funny, nor cute.. PLEASE STOP!!
Why didn’t I know I could ask the Holy Spirit to join me in my learning? To bring the scriptures alive????? Thank you for this revelation!
"You have already filled yourself with other things" Oh how I am a living testament to that! I've undergone RADICAL change this year.

So true I can’t get enough!!❤
Amen 🙏
Mrs Bevere is a powerhouse. The revelation of hunger lacking because you’re filled with other things…mind blown 🤯
I struggle bc my husband isnt saved and life is so hard. But, I never will leave my LORD!

Somewhat same situation 🥺
@vickyanditech sorry! Keep eyes on Jesus
Excellent word and timely word 👍🏾👍🏾
Open my mind and make the word alive in my life!

Thank you! I was just having this conversation with my teenage son. He sees the Bible as just a text book. Trying to get him to see it like this.
The best cure for Christianity is to read the bible
This is sooo good and true!!!

Hunger is the love ❤️

Great convo, I agree 💯
Thank you for the message. I needed it
Aunty Lisa is so funny 😂
This is so good🔥🔥🔥
My recent struggle has been this! UA-cam. I just did a purge or subscription. Whatever you feed will grow spirit or flesh.
Thankyou so much
Amen thanks needed this 🙏🙏
Amazing
this is powerful
😄This is great.
Oh my goodness I feel like you’re talking to me
If you don't mind I'm going to try and make a short of the bit about filling yourself with things of this world

Could you do a conversation about Kathy Lee Gifford?
Might have been me 😂😂😂😂😅
When I stop reading the new testament and started reading the torah I started to see the truth of hashem
Wouldnt that compromise his power? Why does he leave us when we show the desire for more ? If Iam willing why is he not multiplying our connection ? I feel like my desert season is killing me from inside out and has no purpose. The fights with devil are being too much and i feel like he has not been taking action
Not having a real doughnut bro that's blasphemy I'm sure if Jesus was here physically he would tear some doughnuts up lol jk good podcast brother❤
I heard him say Paleo doughnut! 😂 I'm going to check into that! 😋🥰

Excuse me for real?,how is that
possible I have struggling
financially, how was that possible?
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Maria Elena Herrera) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
@@Deborah-139Thanks to Maria Elena Herrera
I have heard a lot of wonderful things about Maria Elena Herrera on the news but didn't believe it until now. I'm definitely trying her out
This sounds so good and I would like to be a party to this, is there any way I can speak with her?
Sin is an imaginary disease, designed to sell us an imaginary cure
Why does an all-powerful deity need flawed sinners to do his PR work? And who appointed all of these people as his spokespeople?
Lisa.. PLEASE PLEASE STOP CONSISTENTLY correcting your husband!! SO WHAT IF IT WASN'T SALAD in college!!! The sole action of you on ALL your videos where you call out your husband is ANNOYING AND QUIT FRANKLY DISRESPECTFUL.. It doesn't make you smarter, it doesn't make you look funny, nor cute..

Maybe you both need to repent, Jesus is King, not the Beveres
