What do you expect Heaven to be like?
23:43 – actually there's a 3rd way such a marriage might exist. If 2 people got married believing they were both saved but it becomes clear over the years that only 1 of the 2 has actually been born again. Then without knowing it for sure, you find yourself in an unequally yoked marriage.
Just listening to a point, the one that many use often, "oh but Jesus went into worldly places and he was with sinners, etc."
Yes, Jesus went to take them OUT of darkness.
And there's no New Testament scripture anywhere that says the church needs to hang around in bars and nightclubs and wild reveling party environments. NOWHERE in the Bible are New Testament believers told to hang out in worldly, ungodly places.
So how do you behave when your gov. order you to get punctured with a substance you know is all but healthy and this order comes with malicious intentions? And also, this order is not law but is enforced through hitting everyday living? Or how do you behave with a gov. that you know it lies to you about war and murdering child of other nations for it's own interest? How do you see your ancestors that rebelled against the royalty of england without them doing anything clearly against the Bible? Or how do you see the motives under the french revolution or the italian risorgimento?
Btw thanks for your message, is something to medidate on so much.
John I appreciate your podcast very much. As a young man who enjoys listening to ministers and messages, I have had many ministers that have fallen away and it’s been difficult to find someone who I believe has a heart for God. Thank you and your son for your teaching and I pray God will cont to allow you to strictly follow his word.
I love the quicksand analogy, Aiden!! In order for that person to get out is surrender, stop fighting and lay down! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Amen!!! Thank you for speaking and teaching truth!
…it is done our Heavenly Holy All Mighty Father knows His Children and those that will be tested at that Great and Terrible Day of The Lord …we as called out ones will have a more challenging time as our Good Father Chastises His Own and the rest He lets continue with their sinning and He knows who will turn to Him at the end …..as all has sinned and none righteous not one even after they were appointed to do a work for The Father for His Good Purpose while they were still in the sin flesh ….David's adultery, Noah's alcoholism, Samson's pride, at the end this are still unholy man made useful by our Father but He Knows their hearts …there is only Enoch and Elija that were so holy they had to be snatched away while still alive …yes we can compare ourselves but we have no power of our own to be holy as they were because all gifts comes from The Holy Father before we were carefully put together in the womb …we are to watch and pray with The Holy Spirit Help to be useful for whatever our Father requires but as i said He already knows the end ….did Judas knew he was going to betray The Lord ? if he didn't who else and how would that event proceed without him playing his part? …so we should wait on The Lord will He use us for service on the dinner table or hold rubbish in the kitchen for His Work ? … will you deny Him and win ? HIS WILL BE DONE no one can argue not one can resist like Jonah and Noah.. for He prepared us all to our predestined end for His Glory ….we wait as servants to be promoted or sold …what He Wills will be HALLELUYAH AMEIN AND AMEIN
A lot of good takeaways here. But don’t be lazy with the A.I. Study app thing.
… there's so much lack of understanding. GOD is our reward. Materialism is alive and well.

I am sorry this video just feed my anxiety and ocd scrupulosity.
I missed the information about the things that are considered gold and jewels. What are those things specificaly?
@JohnBevereTV The honoring part of the video is a hard teaching. I was part of a church where I was almost ordained as a pastor. I left this church because the lead pastor removed the youth pastor in the staff and basically kicked him out of the church because of "the Holy Sprit told him to". Okay.. I am for the move of the Holy Spirit but I thought a decision like that seemed to unconvincing. Nevertheless, no process was put in place for his removal. I was part of the pastoral group or presbytery and no discussion was brought up but that the decision was final. Most of us thought, the youth pastor failed into sin (adultery). No one gave any clarity but the fact that the Holy Spirit of to him and that the youth pastor couldn't be influenced by the lead pastor anymore.. what?
I must add that the lead pastor, the youth pastor and I walked together for about a decade. The youth pastor is one of my best friend and the lead pastor was like a spiritual father to me. I was torn on whom I should believe. Anyhow I ended up leaving the church in a not very honoring way. I believed the reason given were not good enough (forgive me Holy Sprit if You were in fact behind all this). Months later a meeting was set up by new presbytery of the church due to gossip that was going around. In this meeting, it was found that the one of the reasons were that the lead pastor was fed up with the youth pastor lack of holiness, prayer and discipline. I sat there, all I could think of is the many times the lead pastor had lie, gossip and manipulated things to go his way. Man, I was furious! I wanted to stone the man (but who am I? I am faulty as well). There were other reasons like their wives weren't getting along anymore. etc etc.
My wife and I were caught up in the middle of this situation. I ended up standing with the youth pastor (I was tough by the lead pastor that a man needs to always make a stand) which I believe him as being truthful in this situation. I must confess here that I said some dishonorable things (which was calling him out on his bull crap) to the lead pastor, an authority placed by God.
…sigh… so now what? I never want to be against God.. I don't know if I will be able to honor and trust another man who calls himself a pastor. Especially a pastor who has full authority over a local church. They do what they want without any consequences. How can I begin to trust and honor again but stand for what's right…?
Gods for trump Choose wise.
How do we pray for them if they are a known abuser of the most innocent children and babies on a huge scale? I don't get it. Isn't that close to blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?
Thank you both, I learn so much from listening to you!
Whoever made the thumbnail needs to read the Bible
At the end of the day, to be presence of the lord in heaven is reward enough, we should not be trying to achieve levels, this isn't a video game.
Strange that despite the sins and errors Lot in 2 Peter 2:7-8 is called a righteous man by The Holy Spirit and is an example to us of how difficult it can be to live in a corrupt nation surrounded by immoral people – you can tell how bad it is by looking at the church. How humanism, greed, the 🏳️🌈 agenda, anti-semitism and sexual sin is rife in both the traditional and “born again” churches. People are not taught biblical doctrine but just given non offensive sound bites. Good teaching guys 🙌🏼🙌🏼✔️
Heaven will be how is now, eccept God will have gov, there will be no seperation between heaven and earth so angels and humans get acess but… Humans live on earth and angels live in heaven
To me it doesn't matter. As long as I'm with Jesus
I hope and pray for my family to be like yours what a great blessing 💖
