Quotes from John Bevere

The Lord then brought to my remembrance that His Word did not say, Children, obey your parents only if they are born again. He explained, You are my Child; therefore, I place My wisdom and instruction in the hearts of your parents for your guidance and protection.

Here is the reality: to be changed, we need His presence!

When we filter everything through past hurts, rejections, and experiences, we find it impossible to believe God. We cannot believe He means what He says. We doubt His goodness and faithfulness since we judge Him by the standards set by man in our lives. But God is not a man! He cannot lie (Num. 23:19). His ways are not like ours, and His thoughts are not ours (Isa. 55:8—9).

Offended people produce much fruit, such as hurt, anger, outrage, jealousy, resentment, strife, bitterness, hatred, and envy. Some of the consequences of picking up an offense are insults, attacks, wounding, division, separation, broken relationships, betrayal, and backsliding.

If you desire the praise of man, you will fear man. If you fear man, you will serve him-for you will serve what you fear.

In times past when the nation strayed, the leaders would guide the people back to God, but these leaders pushed the people away with their persistent abuse of position and perversion of power.

Jesus' sacrifice eliminated the sin nature separating man from God's presence since the fall of Adam.

Our love for God is limited by a lack of holy fear. Our hearts are to bear the light and warmth of both flames.
