How to Encounter the Presence of God with Kris Vallotton & Richard Gordon

[@sethsaladoify]

I grew up an intellectual Christian and little by little put on Saul's Armour for fear of the world and ended up using drugs for the better part of twenty years. I have been practicing surrendering to The Lord for the last six months which has kept me clean in that time and feel that God is calling me to more. I received the prayer at the end of the message and am excited to see what The Holy Spirit is going to continue to do in my life. Thank you so much for your testimony Rich and Kris, thank you for all of your teaching through the years that I've listened to even in the midst of my using. Thank you Jesus for your patient loving kindness and preservation through my struggle back home!

[@KVMinistries]

That's powerful, thank you for sharing Seth. God bless you!

[@jimmycricket5366]

Yes I pray that you continue to yield to Him in all areas of your life. A wonderful testimony.

[@tishacarpenter6582]

I love watching cultural catalyst because I love watching world, changers and action. Thank you for all you do for us to watch Kris

[@yenhmikolajewski4920]

Richard’s story absolutely rocked me to pursue God in every area, thank you for this message that has marked me!

[@KVMinistries]

Yes!!

[@stevenelson1456]

This stuff is so exciting to me. Probably the third time I've listened to it.

[@bdayandfriends]

I sure love both of these brothers. Kris book on Spiritual Intelligence helped me see that Thinker is a means of hearing the Lord. I thought I had to be delivered of a spirit of intelligence for years as I have several degrees and thought I was too intellectual. To hear Richards story is such an extra blessing. I have worked in computer architecture and only see God. It is so exciting to know how many spirit filled believers are in technology.

[@dougjibbsr.2533]

So envious of the dramatic encounters.

[@dougjibbsr.2533]

[@thewrightoknow]

So appreciate the quality of people that you interview and make known to people who will never be able to come to Bethel, inspiring and encouraging! Blessings

We need an extended version of this!! I can’t get enough! I’ve rewatched this 3 or 4 times and get more and more out of it

[@crisbajcrisbaj468]

totally awesome... I have so come to LOVE Richard... the FATHER has rocked my world thru Richard a number of times...

[@notestinerobert]

Kris was my teacher, Richard a friend and son. Through both, the encounters in the Spirit and directly with the Lord, changed my life in multiples and levels of shimmering joy and grace. This is wonderful to see.

[@KVMinistries]

Powerful!

[@Bropotato24]

I can't believe how profound and hopeful this was for me. I've been so grieved about my children and how technology has overtaken their lives. This unlocked such a level of hope and anticipation that what the enemy planned for evil, God will use to his glory in their lives. Thank you so much for this testimony. 🙏

[@KVMinistries]

Thank you for listening!

[@IcaroOliveira22]

I've received a prophetic word saying that the Lord wanted me to think bigger than I think. I'm not going to lie but I thought I actually thought big and had an audacious vision but this conversation just expanded my mind. I feel like a portion that the Lord intended to give me is now being unwrapped and unleashed unto me. It's like every part of my being is screaming for new levels of encounters with the Lord and to touch new and greater portions of his glory. Thank you so much! I receive the impartation.

[@catherine6070]

Wow! God, you're amazing! Thank you so much for this - two of my favourite people together, talking about what I long for more than anything else. Beautiful. Thank you x

[@rhettfletch13]

Thank you, Brothers. I know we have never met in person, but I do love you Kris and Richard. I love what God has been to you and what He is continuing to be through you! We receive you, Holy Spirit, to be who You are and to release Your Beauty and Creativity in us and in others! You are the Creative One whom we treasure! We are seen and known! We make sense in You! Thank you for KZbin where I can connect with My Brothers and be filled with hope for Your glory to fill the earth in every way that pleases Your Heart and ours! Thank you for showing us these things and sharing them with us! You are so special to us and we are so special to You! I bless Kris! Thank you for his corky and kind and dreaming heart! Satisfied, overflowing, and never lacking. I bless Richard. Thank you for his joy and his dreads! Thank you for breathing on Him. Thank you for his smile! How you love Him!

[@damnamish88]

Great interview! I’m super inspired! I think one day I would like to come to Bethel! My hearts desire is to impact the world for Jesus! To make a difference and shine a light In dark places! Thank you Kris

[@douglaspalenschat7451]

I teared up when you said that Dan encountered God through the written works of C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. As a child, I dreamt of Aslan sometimes because I just loved him so, so much. Even now, as I’m writing, the tears keep coming back.

[@marshalist1361]

I LOVE these interviews!!! 😢 🙌 before he prayed, when he said there are those who don’t believe encounters far for them I had just said that in my heart about myself! It was as if he could read my mind and heart’s thoughts! God is using this ministry you have started Kris to break wrong mindsets and bring freedom so Jesus can have His was in and through us!!! Thank you for your obedience! 😂🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️

I feel like my son should go there... but he's been so hurt by the church , he barely believes. But God can make a way where there is no way. Get him God!

Thank you Kris. Cultural Catalysts is shining light into the world!

[@LAnderson7]

Please have him back on to share more miracles‼️🎉♥️✝️

[@johnferland5972]

I was fortunate enough to just finish Bethel School of Technology and get a job right out of school in the tech industry. I was able to sit under Richard's leadership and it was a great privilege. In our class we experienced so many amazing things and encounters with God and the classes were all on Zoom. From healings and prophetic words that were accurate beyond belief to words of knowledge and salvations of friends / bystanders to the students we had in our class. God is on the move in tech and if you are interested in changing careers and starting something new Bethel Tech is the place to be. Much love to Kris and Richard.

[@yiluan7808]

Tears went down from my eyes and overwhelmed by this excitement after listing to this sharing!! I am in the AI industry and about half year ago, God revealed to me about his creation over the world of AI. It was so fascinating and revolutionary! And after that I just became the lover of Jesus. Now in China, been called to be back to China, and I think this show just confirmed my calling for market place in China again. Thank you, thank you! So cool! So brilliant! He is sooooooooo good!!!!!

[@HausofVeaux]

Incredible! Lord, You said earnestly desire the gifts…well, I want some of his gifts! Please and thank you, in Jesus’ name.

[@KVMinistries]

Amen.

[@HausofVeaux]

@@926paaja I love your heart and concern for believers in Jesus Christ🤗🥰. And, like you, I desire Jesus first and foremost. He is my fist love.. Remember, I Corinthians 14 tells us that we should earnestly desire spiritual gifts and Ephesians 1:3 says that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing. Gifts of the Spirit are an inheritance from God, our Father. He gives good gifts to His children! I love that He isn’t stingy or mean, but He is loving and kind. He gives better gifts than our natural parents❣️ Allison, I pray God blesses you beyond your boldest prayers and wildest dreams.

Hi Richard. My name is Jim Pierson and I really enjoyed your talk with Kris Vallotton. I have an engineering background and I’m 65 years old. I was a plastic injection mold designer for forty years, retired now. For many years I have this some sort of expectancy in my heart that God would download something to me not sure what I just had that expectancy. I’m probably too old for your boot camp but I do hear from God and I just want to thank you for your message because it tickled my wonder. Also what you said about how God pursued you is how you share the Gospel. That is so good. It really touched my heart. I just wanted to give you a short note to say how much I appreciate you. Kris, my wife and I enjoy these clips. We appreciate you also. Thanks, Jim Pierson Florida

[@dansmith5590]

Thanks Richard and Kris for this incredibly inspiring interview! Like Richard, I was born in South Africa to Pentecostal parents who knew David DuPlessis, but grew up in Rhodesia, came to the U.S. at the age of 11. I'm now 73, been a Vineyard pastor for 41 years, but so hungry for revival and have faith that God will let me be part of it, here in Camarillo, CA. I've read most of Kris and Bill's books and been to Bethel a few times. Bless you guys!

[@paulgodfrey9691]

This was an incredible conversation Kris and Richard, thank you!! When you asked for suggestions, I'd love to hear from the principals of Bethel Christian School as myself, my family and many friends are in the education world.

[@garyseaton8639]

Our lives and ministry are being greatly impacted by this ministry in ways I can't yet fully articulate. We are newly in ministry as pastors to a Native American Penticostal church. We see the need for God to reveal himself in power for the salvation of many and are seeking his face to move in our midst. He has spoken through several that a mighty move of his spirit is coming at the right time. He is already moving to provide our every need in miraculous ways. This and the ministry of Bethel Church are feeding and preparing us as we wait upon the Lord. We thank God for you.

[@KVMinistries]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@party320]

This is incredible view points and I do believe God is working in past present and future. Its all on His time and revelation, pray we yield to it.

[@anniegaudette9124]

I listened to this right before going to bed. AND!! I had a dream that I knew was from God. Kris V had a team and he was directing them to prepare a room for prophetic encounters. In the center of the room was all the worship set (keyboard, mics, stools). I heard Kris giving people directions on what to do to prepare. When they were done with the preparations I heard him tell the team, "Put your things down and save your place." I looked around the room and people had set their belongings on the chairs. The chairs had bibles, notebooks, some had running shoes, and water. I could not see a seat that was not taken. My heart said, "I wish there was a place for me!" Suddenly, I realized that I already had a seat. I was on this HUGE couch that wrapped around the one side of the room. I determined in that moment that I was not going to move, I would not risk losing this precious place. I would wait until the event began. Things I noted: The room wasn't large the setting was intimate (those coming were invited into intimacy with God). The things people left to mark their chairs would allow them to have an encounter and study and run with it. I also noticed that to make room for more people all the pillows on the couch (the ones that line the back of couches were piled up to the side in a big pile). My impression as I type this is that what is being prepared and what is coming isn't going to be comfortable, but it is going to worth the wait.

[@tinlizzy39]

This was amazing! Awesome testimony! I receive the word you prayed at the end! When you talk about that twilight place, I'm just understanding that and I have it! I was just meditating on that this week. I know about words of knowledge, the prophetic, dreams and visions. I have experienced this on a small scale. I'm focusing on my intimacy with the Lord and eating the word but I know there is more. I know there's a plan for me and my husband as a team and we desire all God has for us. Thank you for these podcasts. ❤ Like to see Brian Geurin, Eric Gilmour, Todd White, Bill Johnson... I'm probably forgetting some on here. Taking a class now with Eric Gilmour. 🙏💜

I have been in the tech space in some form or other for all of my working life, with the original Apple IIe's and 10mb winchester hard drives to 30 years later the explosion in innovation and creativity - it is an exciting and interesting space to be in. This conversation just takes it to a whole new level, when you suddenly catch the gaze of God in that space, like Richard has, wow. Its a reveloution in tech by beginning with the heart. What a game changer. God you are SO good. Thanks for sharing this.

Maybe stop seeking something to fill you up and start realizing that you were once dead and now you’re alive. Once blind but now see.
