Excellent!!! You were spot on!! The transformational process literally kills the “fleshly” me! The result: LOVE, FREEDOM & ABUNDANT LIFE!!! Christ in me, the HOPE of Glory!! Hallelujah!!!!
This was definitely for me!! God told me he is restoring many things in my life, joy, finances, kids, home life. Etc. and then in August came severe Anxiety, panic attacks, irrational thoughts, fear (never experienced this before)… SERIOUS attacks of the enemy. It’s been HARD. But man of man has God realigned my agenda and turned me to focus on his KINGDOM! I’m beyond thankful. I’m at the end of it… I know that because God woke me up this morning and I immediately had the thought of “after you suffer a little while” and while being half asleep… I couldn’t remember if it was a Bible verse or not… then I immediately looked it up and found 1 Peter!! “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” 1 Peter 5:10 NIV He HIMSELF is restoring my peace, joy, LIFE! I’m coming out on the other side full of FAITH, protection, and his provision for my life… whatever that looks like!
Am happy for you. This testifies that i will also overcome. Though, I am still going through it with so what verses did you rely on most during this season?
@@sil5841 SO many verses. I had to fight pretty much all day kind with the word of God. Psalm 91 has been my go to recently. I get to REST in shelter of the most high. Also ”For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.“ 2 Timothy 1:7 Nothing formed against me shall prosper I sought the Lord and he answered me, he delivered me from all my fear. I have authority to trample of snakes and scorpions and to overcome ALL the power of the enemy. The Lord is my strength and my shield. I’m royal priesthood, a holy nation, gods special possession! I have the mind of Christ. Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law. Gal 3:13. I could go on but praying these over you as well! He’s our strong tower! Speak them out loud.
Yessssssss! "...character doesn't go around attacking other people's character. Character said, I'm gonna judge myself. I'm gonna see where I stand right now what my relationship with God is and how I'm relating to other people..."
Praying that dangerous prayer will always get you in the thick of it. I remember praying that when I just felt like I didn’t know what my purpose was & afterwards it was just trial after trial & I was like “God I know what I prayed for, but I’m not that strong hey, can you go easy on me please.”🤣 And then got through it, when I really thought there was no way through it. And so whenever I feel like I’m starting to lose focus I pray “God cleanse me & purify me, my life is Yours, use me.” It’s a hill of a battle after praying that, but the character development is worth it. Even though it doesn’t feel like it when you’re going through it. God is never a waster so He’ll use that trial for your good & His Glory. I will say the complaining part is tough, sometimes you find yourself complaining, but a lil gratitude goes a long way.
“The gifts of the Spirit are given, fruit is cultivated; character is attached to the fruit. It has to be cultivated(pruning, watering, planting, weeding)”
I love that Lisa acknowledges, “Character, doesn’t go around attacking other people’s character”. That has been on my heart this week, and I am blessed to hear her declare this. Thank you for sharing!🎉
“Character is what we all need to pursue, not celebrity! Character!” WOW. Just found this channel today. Are you two married?! If so, I aspire to have a marriage that helps God’s people like this. This is beautiful and Kingdom work.
My 55 year old daughter had a severe stroke in February and is paralyzed on right side and s difficulty speaking. It has been a very difficult time but God has never left me and my daughter. He has done so amazing things and I believe she will be healed in God's time. We will come out of this stronger and closer to God praise His Holy Name

I'm married to a wolf in sheep's clothing. He does say so many good things from the pulpit and talks more on a Sunday morning then he does to me in a couple months. Every time I would ask him if he could practice what he preached Justin behavior for me to show me that he loved me I would get yelled at or ignored. But he has a following that pastor idol worships him and I've been told I am nothing many times and it is okay that he texts all other women much more than me because it's for the church. One woman totally replaced me and everything I did at the church and he was fine with that so when I left him when she tried to ruin my Thanksgiving the church is giving him a pity party. He has no humility. He was actually happy and smirking that I left. I'm listening to this and crying because it is an answer to prayer that people are saying exactly what I've been thinking about the Holy Spirit. AND to see a couple interacting talking this way is very healing and good for soul and spirit. God is good. I married a covert narcissist who gave me a mirage and a lie the wedding and the mask slowly was coming off even during the honeymoon. I stayed with him almost 13 years now and I have done my slave term like Joseph. these are the end days and Jesus did say this would happen in Matthew 23 and Matthew 24. We were unequally yoked and just like the Bible says how one will be taken and one will be left.
Stay in prayer keep focusing on Jesus and what he is urging you to do. Use this time of disconnection to connect with the Father delight in him as your creator husband best friend healer. The Lord directs is to pray for our enemies you know the secret flaws of your husband no one knows about bind them in the name of JESUS trust totally in the word not your flesh. Take full responsibility for your mistakes and give them to Jesus cry out to him then listen and follow and watch his hand. Get sound Christian counseling it has been a God sent for me worth every penny. I write this to myself as I'm going through too I hope it helps you. I stopped focusing on him and put my relationship with God first....WOW I'm learning how to heal with God again.
I would ask, what about you! Are you a wolf in sheep clothe .What do you do to him? Both of you are not perfect.Reflect on yourself, anchor yourself on Jesus, Not on your husband.Your husband should anchor himself on Jesus not you. Then ask yourself, is Jesus a wolf in a sheep clothe!??

WOW!!! If you pass the test, you get authority in that area. WOW!!!! That is what happened. The experience seemed unfair but it moved, almost forced me into a position of authority.
I mourned the lost potential in my life after falling ill. For a decade I watched as my dreams fall like sand through my fingers. Four years of complete solitude. A real test. Really became something different in this time. A part of me holding onto what I used to be. Health is the only true wealth.
"I wanna deal with your character in private because I want to trust you on a larger level" amen, I faced temptations to sin privately and very nearly sinned but then a soft but clear voice came into my soul saying.." why do you want to steal this fish, just to feed your stomach for a day?" "and miss out on the blessing I'm storing up for you, it's just around the corner." I realised it was the Lord and immediately said thank you Lord, i will give you praise in my desert season because you are God and you never change. NOW JUST TWO MONTHS LATER, I GOT A FINE JOB FETCHING A 4FIG SALARY. I can see a promotion coming up already but it must be remembered that you have to be ready to pay the price first. Self denial.
This hit me sooo much. I always pray that God will remove anything that will not build my character in him and he is doing it so well even if its sometimes so painful. I want to love Jesus more than my family, children, ministry or anything. Thank you John and Lisa ❤❤
Man! I've been praying about stewarding God's glory and character!!!! I've also heard God says ( when I asked Him why it hurts so much) ... " You're dying" He said... Then He explained, He's letting parts that don't reflect and shine Him properly die. So true! A famine of character!
I used to scroll right past any videos by John because I knew it was the truth lol. Now, he's my favorite. God will be with you throughout this refining process but it's not easy. If God is for us, who...WHO can be against us? Father God, continue to break me and mold me into who YOU want me to be. It's not about me, it's all about you. Father thank you for the gift of grace and mercy that i don't deserve. My life is not my own. It's yours. In Jesus mighty name, Amen❤
I’m a first time listener and this was absolutely astounding!!! When I was college, God had me in a youth group that saw right through me in every way, and I wrestled with it then but I knew it was bc God was using them to show me my own heart. Fast forward to the end, in my fear of feeling the pain of looking back at my past I pushed everyone so far away it was no longer spiritually healthy or wise for them to coni the to support/pursue me. I ended up losing 2 of the greatest friends I ever had and pushing away countless relationships that could have led to the wholeness of my healing and fulfillment. Now many years later, I’m still having to fight “1v1” against the things wanted to use that community to help me infinity v the enemy. This video was such a highlight to the reality of what I’d done. I’m grateful I’m still young and God is still willing to work in me. I’m gonna go through the fire one last time and get it right so I can finally move on to everything God has for me 💯🙌🏾💯
All I’ve got to say is THIS IS POWERFUL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 “I don’t want to have an anointing on my life that my character can’t sustain.” ~ Lisa Bevere “If your character is not as developed as your responsibility, your responsibility will eventually cost you.” ~ John Bevere “Holiness is not a work of your flesh, it’s a product of God’s grace.” ~ John Bevere John: “God why am I in so much pain?” God: “Because you’re dying. There’s always pain in death”. God: “Son, do you want to know how you will know that you’re dead? John: “How?” God: “You won’t have any pain anymore.” ~ John Bevere 🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥
I just finished watching Katherine Kuhlman right before this & she was saying she remembers exactly the day she died & the spot exactly where she was on the floor & I have died in bits & pieces, but this season I have been in, I know is the refining for me. It hurt & there were things that were not so pretty, but Lord will it be worth it to stand in white as His bride and be the purified gold before Him
How correct Sister Lisa...!! What we are in private is what the Lord wants!! Man looks at the outward but God is Interested in what is going on in the inside.
Very important conversation! I'm living the character developing season. Sometimes it is hard, especially when you fail, but I'm gonna persevere. Thank you, John and Lisa!
I always find it amazing how the Holy Spirit will give common themes throughout his teachers. I attend social Dallas and Dr. Anita Phillips was talking about the wilderness and temptation just this weekend. I turn on my podcast this morning to hear John and Lisa and they are perfectly aligned with that teaching.
The analogy of the gold ring hit me -- I cried, went in a posture of prayer .. the anger issue in my character surfaced after a fiery trial in my marriage. I hated the anger - this is not the person i want to be. I want God’s will be done in my life.
That’s such a good thing to point out: They were not self inflicted trials. That’s key to understand. That describes the last few trials I went through. They were not self inflicted and it feels very unfair.
This totally spoke to me ! It took me about 2 hrs to complete this video in writing notes & searching up verses you guys are piggy backing off one another. It just flows so well and I can totally see his light through both your teaching it makes so much sense ! I have been praying for God to purify my heart and helping me to walk in his path and do his will and see his plans in me clearly! Thank you ! I just want to cry in thankfulness to God for using you and others to speak to me , show me , sharpen me . love y’all !
Everything about this session was great, but the thing I loved the most is when you both said--in different ways--I didn't realize what I had just prayed. This is evidence of God leading even our prayer life. I have seen this in action in my own life and it is so lovely how He leads us where we where we are going when we don't even have a clue. It's amazing! When the bible says "All Glory and Honor belong to Him" it's not being hyperbolic. It's being spoken plainly!
This surely a HUGE key to our growth and being transformed more and more into Christ Jesus. Thank you John and Lisa. The TRUTH sets us free🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼🔥
God is so good. He is doing this very thing in me right now. God told me He is going to do a work in me and I know He will finish this work in me because He is Holy and faithful. 💖
Now get ready, you're gonna go through some stuff, It's okay, God will walk you through it. and He will get you to the other side to where you are now a pure vessel and now you're able and ready for the Master's use
This episode spoke to me so so deeply. It’s extremely timely and exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve been going through a very hard 4 years now of nothingness, and last year was the most excruciatingly painful year, I’ve ever been in. One of my sisters passed away at the beginning of the year, then my best friend in April; and his death absolutely brought out the kind of extremely painful emotions I felt when my parents passed away. The grief was so intolerable! And then my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in July. At that point, I fully realized that I needed God even more than ever! And I’ve absolutely leaned on Him and fully surrendered to this very hard path I’m walking. Amazingly my faith has been my saving grace. I realized at the end of 2023 that I’m truly processing through all of my emotions positively not negatively. And even though I’m not there yet, I can see that bright light at the end of my dark tunnel. This episode has shown me that I can do this, and I can let God continue to refine me. Thank you so much for all of your transparency, that’s helping us understand that our journeys may be different but the process and requirements of us are the same. So the more we share what we’re learning, the more we help each other. God bless you so much and may He continue to bless your ministry 🙏🏽🙌🏽. I most certainly plan to listen to this episode again and take notes. I NEEDED IT💯!
God bless you beautiful Sister in Christ. I too have been going through the trials of grief. You are more than a conqueror in Christ, much love to you from down under here in New Zealand 🙏
oh is this EVER speaking to me!! In the last 2 days it has REALLY ramped up! Several months ago He was so kind to start telling me what He was about to do; to lead me on paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Thank You God for Your empowering presence!
Thank you so much! Much love all the way from Trinidad and Tobago! God has granted me leadership positions and huge opportunities this year. As a result, I NEED my character to be like Christ even more. This motivated me and gave me the courage to pray for and go through the testings. God bless you both!
Wow!! The lord led me to this video. I’ve been asking him why I’ve been going through so much warfare in my life right now. Work is horrible. I can’t seem to get a handle on anything and I feel been feeling so overwhelmed. 2 days ago I cried out to him and today I have been hearing him saying almost the same thing. I’m going through a metamorphosis.
This is so good; a breath of fresh air! I did not want it to end, ahh... "Who you are in private when no one is seeing is really a test of your life". Come on!!! God bless you both for bringing us this truth - very insightful. I am so blessed and grateful. Love from United Kingdom
I hope so, I hope his character is really solid. He just spoke endorsing KBA with Tamara Lowe. She personally coached me to pressure people for money and lie to my pastor for profit. By endorsing her, she was able to fool more people and get more momey. I'm hoping he just doesnt know anything about who she really is. I've always respected him
John & Lisa, thank you for your obedience and faithfulness! I just finished “Bait of Satan” and I must say, this is causing me to look inward deeply and ask God to reveal where I may be holding an offense. Please pray for me that His giftings never go ahead of my character.
Thank you and Thank Lord. I needed to hear this these days. Going through some hard times, have to wait a lot, keep reading the Bible and God keeps saying: "Wait".
Wow, I just went for something similar to that. I’m 23 and last summer was very hard for me, I was mad at my friends, my family for no reason and now I ask God, was I mad at you Lord or was I going thru the process? Sometimes we make our own storm but sometimes the Lord makes us go thru the storm, but how do I know? Now I’m feeling much better and my relationship w God is getting better. ❤ this episode has open my eyes. Thank you guys. God bless you 🙏🏽
This has really helped me to better understand what I am going through and what I need to do to come out the other side victorious and more like Jesus ❤ thank you Lisa and John!
Wow, that thing about impurities in gold....you spoke to me. IV been fasting and during this time IV yelled and yelled at my kids like no man's business. One thing I appreciate is that IV realized that God has been revealing some deep seated issues, IV not quite my fast but IV prayed about my flows and have continued to seek the lord
This is chewable. I have to listen over and over again for new meanings as the Holy Spirit opens my ears and eyes. Thank you for this awesome and timely message!
Thank you John and Lisa for the beautiful insights about character building by God. As you guys are talking God is speaking to me about the hardships I am facing and the illustration about Gold makes perfect sense that We have to go through the hardship to have the character God wants to advance the ministry. Thanks guys God bless you ❤
I was in Church. I was attacked by the enemy so bad. I kept asking God please please. Get this pride out of me. It's affecting me hear the word. What is wrong with me. Why can't I shake this feeling. And it just kept getting worse. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I asked the pastor for help and guidance and he never got back to me. I don't want this pride. Can yall please pray for me. Because it feels like I am not enough.
Hello. I am recovering from pride. It’s good you know your opponent. What is the opposite of it? Humility. Repent of the pride. Sit with Abba and really talk with Him about it. Don’t rush it. Just share with Him. The enemy will condemn you. Know that God created you with His very own hands , you are the craftsmanship of His Handy work he loves you. Confess the pride to Him. What is the root? when did you become self preserved ? and why. Why are you bitter? Acknowledge it. Assess yourself honestly and bring it to Him Repent , and renounce it Ask Holy Spirit to help you. He IS your helper we can do nothing without Him. Repent. Renounce Replace. Replace the fact that you experience pride , replace it with truth . The truth of Gods word. HUMILITY God will walk you through it. Continue to meditate Gods word is healing and delivering The Bible says “through knowledge just are delivered “ And also says “my people perish for a lack of knowledge”
Woohoo!!! I needed to hear this, so many gems in here, pure gold. God bless you John and Lisa. Thank you my loving Father, thank you Jesus for the victory, thank you for comfort Holy Spirit 🙏🔥💯
“Why do I hurt so bad? Because you’re dying” this hit me

I’m grateful I’m still young and God is still willing to work in me. I’m gonna go through the fire one last time and get it right so I can finally move on to everything God has for me 💯🙌🏾💯
This couple has so much wisdom & understanding, I love it !!
“Gifts are given fruits are cultivated” wow 👏
All I’ve got to say is THIS IS POWERFUL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“I don’t want to have an anointing on my life that my character can’t sustain.” ~ Lisa Bevere
“If your character is not as developed as your responsibility, your responsibility will eventually cost you.” ~ John Bevere
“Holiness is not a work of your flesh, it’s a product of God’s grace.” ~ John Bevere
John: “God why am I in so much pain?”
God: “Because you’re dying. There’s always pain in death”.
God: “Son, do you want to know how you will know that you’re dead?
John: “How?”
God: “You won’t have any pain anymore.”
~ John Bevere

I just finished watching Katherine Kuhlman right before this & she was saying she remembers exactly the day she died & the spot exactly where she was on the floor & I have died in bits & pieces, but this season I have been in, I know is the refining for me. It hurt & there were things that were not so pretty, but Lord will it be worth it to stand in white as His bride and be the purified gold before Him
“I’m going to be a servant when other people to make me a slave” 😮😮😮A WORD!
How correct Sister Lisa...!! What we are in private is what the Lord wants!! Man looks at the outward but God is Interested in what is going on in the inside.
Very important conversation! I'm living the character developing season. Sometimes it is hard, especially when you fail, but I'm gonna persevere. Thank you, John and Lisa!
Holiness is a product of God’s grace. Wow! So true.
Thanks for what you are to the body of Christ!
If I could like this multiple times, I would.
This is so good.
I always find it amazing how the Holy Spirit will give common themes throughout his teachers. I attend social Dallas and Dr. Anita Phillips was talking about the wilderness and temptation just this weekend. I turn on my podcast this morning to hear John and Lisa and they are perfectly aligned with that teaching.
The body of Christ will always be on one accord ❤ that’s beautiful
The analogy of the gold ring hit me -- I cried, went in a posture of prayer .. the anger issue in my character surfaced after a fiery trial in my marriage. I hated the anger - this is not the person i want to be. I want God’s will be done in my life.
I hope your prayer will be answered and that your heart may change back to the loving person you were before
Think I need to listen to this another 10 times for it to sink in!
That’s such a good thing to point out: They were not self inflicted trials. That’s key to understand.
That describes the last few trials I went through. They were not self inflicted and it feels very unfair.
This totally spoke to me ! It took me about 2 hrs to complete this video in writing notes & searching up verses you guys are piggy backing off one another. It just flows so well and I can totally see his light through both your teaching it makes so much sense ! I have been praying for God to purify my heart and helping me to walk in his path and do his will and see his plans in me clearly! Thank you ! I just want to cry in thankfulness to God for using you and others to speak to me , show me , sharpen me . love y’all !
This is so helpful. I'm going through a long wilderness of trying to get another job for years but God is developing my patience😊
Everything about this session was great, but the thing I loved the most is when you both said--in different ways--I didn't realize what I had just prayed. This is evidence of God leading even our prayer life. I have seen this in action in my own life and it is so lovely how He leads us where we where we are going when we don't even have a clue. It's amazing! When the bible says "All Glory and Honor belong to Him" it's not being hyperbolic. It's being spoken plainly!
Thank you from Ukraine. Learnt a lot about character and the process of its building. Love you guys and what you do,
What I thought was attacks was really God testing my character, awesome. Thank you for this!
Holiness is not a work of your fresh its a product of My grace 🙌
This is so awesome, I love that message of - gifts are given, but Fruit is cultivated.
Perfect Water!!!! I love that you support the Amway business ❤ thats how I got saved! April 2018 on a Sunday morning during a business conference 🙏🏼
This surely a HUGE key to our growth and being transformed more and more into Christ Jesus.
Thank you John and Lisa.
The TRUTH sets us free🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼🔥
God is so good. He is doing this very thing in me right now. God told me He is going to do a work in me and I know He will finish this work in me because He is Holy and faithful. 💖
Now get ready, you're gonna go through some stuff, It's okay, God will walk you through it. and He will get you to the other side to where you are now a pure vessel and now you're able and ready for the Master's use
This episode spoke to me so so deeply. It’s extremely timely and exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve been going through a very hard 4 years now of nothingness, and last year was the most excruciatingly painful year, I’ve ever been in. One of my sisters passed away at the beginning of the year, then my best friend in April; and his death absolutely brought out the kind of extremely painful emotions I felt when my parents passed away. The grief was so intolerable! And then my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in July. At that point, I fully realized that I needed God even more than ever! And I’ve absolutely leaned on Him and fully surrendered to this very hard path I’m walking. Amazingly my faith has been my saving grace. I realized at the end of 2023 that I’m truly processing through all of my emotions positively not negatively. And even though I’m not there yet, I can see that bright light at the end of my dark tunnel. This episode has shown me that I can do this, and I can let God continue to refine me. Thank you so much for all of your transparency, that’s helping us understand that our journeys may be different but the process and requirements of us are the same. So the more we share what we’re learning, the more we help each other. God bless you so much and may He continue to bless your ministry 🙏🏽🙌🏽. I most certainly plan to listen to this episode again and take notes. I NEEDED IT💯!
God bless you beautiful Sister in Christ. I too have been going through the trials of grief. You are more than a conqueror in Christ, much love to you from down under here in New Zealand 🙏
This was so good, this is literally the season I’m in.
oh is this EVER speaking to me!! In the last 2 days it has REALLY ramped up! Several months ago He was so kind to start telling me what He was about to do; to lead me on paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Thank You God for Your empowering presence!
I LOVE IT!! God never wastes a private victory!!
Wow! Thank you Lord for your lives. Spirit-filled, this is the kind of wisdom that strengthens faith and endurance.
This episode is on replay! Its so good, it speaks to me every time!
Thank you so much! Much love all the way from Trinidad and Tobago! God has granted me leadership positions and huge opportunities this year. As a result, I NEED my character to be like Christ even more. This motivated me and gave me the courage to pray for and go through the testings. God bless you both!
Wow!! The lord led me to this video. I’ve been asking him why I’ve been going through so much warfare in my life right now. Work is horrible. I can’t seem to get a handle on anything and I feel been feeling so overwhelmed. 2 days ago I cried out to him and today I have been hearing him saying almost the same thing. I’m going through a metamorphosis.
OKAY, I will definitely have to re-watch & make notes. Wow, this is good right here!
Amen confirmation...when you are "dead" the pain is gone. 8.8.24
Heat pressure brings the impurities to the surface. Amen.
This is so good; a breath of fresh air! I did not want it to end, ahh... "Who you are in private when no one is seeing is really a test of your life". Come on!!! God bless you both for bringing us this truth - very insightful. I am so blessed and grateful. Love from United Kingdom
Thank you John and Lisa for enduring your character building so we can now be blessed and challenged to do the same ❤
I hope so, I hope his character is really solid. He just spoke endorsing KBA with Tamara Lowe. She personally coached me to pressure people for money and lie to my pastor for profit. By endorsing her, she was able to fool more people and get more momey. I'm hoping he just doesnt know anything about who she really is. I've always respected him
Once you own a mistake, it doesn't own you.
I love that they are so grounded in the Word of God!!
Beautiful & Powerful conversation. Thank you
Encouraged and blessed - thank you John n Lisa xxx
John & Lisa, thank you for your obedience and faithfulness! I just finished “Bait of Satan” and I must say, this is causing me to look inward deeply and ask God to reveal where I may be holding an offense. Please pray for me that His giftings never go ahead of my character.
Thank you ! Jesus is the way, the truth and the life !
Thank you and Thank Lord. I needed to hear this these days. Going through some hard times, have to wait a lot, keep reading the Bible and God keeps saying: "Wait".
What a fantastic message this is. Thank you for sharing. My heart is so delighted. I needed to hear this message.
I really needed to see this, thank you.
I asked God to show me why I was suffering so much, and He brought me here.
Wonderful couple of God who bears so many fruits for the Glory of God.
But don't forget all trials they had to pass.😊
Wow, I just went for something similar to that. I’m 23 and last summer was very hard for me, I was mad at my friends, my family for no reason and now I ask God, was I mad at you Lord or was I going thru the process? Sometimes we make our own storm but sometimes the Lord makes us go thru the storm, but how do I know? Now I’m feeling much better and my relationship w God is getting better. ❤ this episode has open my eyes. Thank you guys. God bless you 🙏🏽
This is what I am going through, a pruning. But God is with me.
Good point about the people of Israel. They thwarted their destiny.😬…..
Good word guys, all the way around. Thank you!
This has really helped me to better understand what I am going through and what I need to do to come out the other side victorious and more like Jesus ❤ thank you Lisa and John!
0:30 May the peace of the Lord be with you. I live and serve in Turkey. I would appreciate it if you would please pray for me.
🙏❤️
RHEMA! AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!
Spot on! Character matters most in all aspects of life: ministry, parentin, career, business, marriage, family...🛐🛐🛐
Wow, that thing about impurities in gold....you spoke to me. IV been fasting and during this time IV yelled and yelled at my kids like no man's business. One thing I appreciate is that IV realized that God has been revealing some deep seated issues, IV not quite my fast but IV prayed about my flows and have continued to seek the lord

This is chewable. I have to listen over and over again for new meanings as the Holy Spirit opens my ears and eyes. Thank you for this awesome and timely message!
YES AND AMEN IN 2024
Who... God is definitely after my character 👑🙏🏽💜
I love this family...inviting others to join me learn a lot here
Thank you John and Lisa for the beautiful insights about character building by God. As you guys are talking God is speaking to me about the hardships I am facing and the illustration about Gold makes perfect sense that We have to go through the hardship to have the character God wants to advance the ministry. Thanks guys God bless you ❤
Powerful teaching!
I was in Church. I was attacked by the enemy so bad. I kept asking God please please. Get this pride out of me. It's affecting me hear the word. What is wrong with me. Why can't I shake this feeling. And it just kept getting worse. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I asked the pastor for help and guidance and he never got back to me. I don't want this pride. Can yall please pray for me. Because it feels like I am not enough.
We are keeping you in prayees.dear
Hello. I am recovering from pride.
It’s good you know your opponent.
What is the opposite of it? Humility.
Repent of the pride. Sit with Abba and really talk with Him about it. Don’t rush it. Just share with Him. The enemy will condemn you. Know that God created you with His very own hands , you are the craftsmanship of His Handy work he loves you.
Confess the pride to Him. What is the root?
when did you become self preserved ? and why.
Why are you bitter?
Acknowledge it. Assess yourself honestly and bring it to Him
Repent , and renounce it
Ask Holy Spirit to help you. He IS your helper we can do nothing without Him.
Repent.
Renounce
Replace.
Replace the fact that you experience pride , replace it with truth .
The truth of Gods word.
HUMILITY
God will walk you through it.
Continue to meditate Gods word is healing and delivering
The Bible says “through knowledge just are delivered “
And also says “my people perish for a lack of knowledge”
Praying
This episode is mind-blowing with words of wisdom
Amen beautiful message shalom may the lord continue blessing you both in Jesus name 🙏
Praise God for sending me to this video. Its the season of character building. Bless your ministry
