How do you keep yourself from drifting in your relationship with God?

[@MightyWomanOfGod9050]

The fear of the Lord. I fear being away from Him. You have made that statement before. We are in the last of the last days.

[@user-Arlandie]

Study the Word with the Author on a daily basis.

[@JuanBorque]

I remember all the times God manifested Himself in my life. Remembering the sweet presence of Jesus in my life is a constant reminder of how real He is, and I also am fearful of being apart from Him. When I sense myself drifting I come back to the basics because I missed something along the way.

[@Calico_bjt]

I’ve e been struggling so fiercely with anger and self harm and I am drifting away from God. I don’t want to be caught up in the world anymore and I want delivered so I can know who I am and whose I am and overcome my demons. Will your podcast be able to help me? I am a mess and broke and need fixed yet I have no one I feel safe enough to trus. Let alone to help me get free and whole. I am going to ask Jesus to make me better and do my best to trust him. I’m terrified to trust. I will do my best though

If the foundation of the faith is wobbly and not strong, we will become delusional and leave the faith. The bible says that when we are only hearers of the Word and not doers of the Word, we not only deceives ourselves but also are actually building a house on the sand. When the storms of life appear and hit the house, the house would collapse with a great crash. Secondly, we need to have our minds renewed daily through the reading of God's Word in order that our thought process and our opinions are in line with God's Word. We need to align our mind with the mind of Christ. Thirdly, leaders have been preaching a gospel that is not the gospel of Christ. They preach a gospel that appeals and appease to the flesh but does nothing to build the Spirit. The bible calls these gospel unsound doctrines or "doctrines of demons". Those with itching ears would love to hear such gospel. They are feel good messages that makes listeners feel good about themselves but do not edify the Spirit. It does not build the Spirit man. These believers are building their faith on the wrong gospel. Their are building on a wrong foundation. One day it will shipwreck their faith. We are already living in the last days. The bible says there will be a great falling away of Christians around the world. Christian believers are attacked by the enemy like never before! The Lord is returning!

Just because someone stops attending church doesn’t mean they also ended their relationship with God.

[@ronkebarber6238]

What exactly makes Christianity a religion and not a way of living a life of the Spirit with Christ Jesus, in God, is simply because a religion is observed with many different sets of rules and rituals. Whereas, being just a Believer makes fellowship easy and accessible with God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ the Son, by the enabling power of the Holy Spirit. Not in or of works of any kind by you, but by simply standing on His finished work of salvation on the cross of Calvary. Ephesians 2:8-9.

[@rijam4972]

Doesn't matter you go to church or not but you should not disconnect from Jesus whether you feel or don't feel you should read the Bible regularly in a disciplined way even if you don't understand anything it will help you not to break the connection with God.

[@user-ii7pt3hd1v]

bless you for this response. many may leave their "church" because they found it no longer teaches and practices what god has written. the "church" has become apostate and god does command believers to leave. let us keep in mind though that we are commanded to be with his true assembly, the assembly who love the truth and live by them in faith. god promised he always has a remnant. let us prayerfully pursue to find his assembly and patiently have faith we will. i am a seeker myself.

I have left the church, not because my faith has changed, but because I've had enough of it being run in a way that is opposite to Jesus. I'm sick of seeing pride over humility, entitlement over compassion for others, standing first in line instead of servant leadership. I'd like to see the fruit of the spirit and godly character instead of the pursuit of power. My faith in God is still growing, but it mourns how far the church has lost its way.

[@lgnlynays7977]

yeah, i am one of those who walked away from the church, however, not from my faith...the church has gone wild with politics thinking they are pleasing God. I love God and after 4 years of not going to "a church" and just streaming online church from preachers i considered not-MAGA and still biblically tuned with the Kingdom of Heaven, I felt God telling me it's time to go back. It's time to stop the tantrum. Time to forgive and trust and obey me. It's been hard. I've been struggling with relating with other believers I fellowshiped with. It's not the same, but I know it's God's will that we all return, and people who left the church, are returning. We need grace.

[@e.m.8094]

The Western Church is very different from many churches around the world, and definitely different from the early church. Many services have become little more than a mini concert followed by a TED talk with three scriptures interjected. There's very little biblical exegesis in a lot of Western churches unfortunately. Many sermons focus primarily on improving the quality of our lives, when Jesus clearly instructed us to take up our cross (die to self) and follow Him. There's definitely some contradictions going on between those two mindsets.

[@judystaab7126]

The devil wants to lsolate people , so he can have his way with them, in deception+ lt is not the same, being lsolated from worship of others that brings his spirit.! I know lt is hard , during the week , that is where we really need god's help , but even lsreal 's jews meet on the weekends. We are not meant to be alone, we need balance, besides the n.t. bible says fail not to assemble yourselves together , as the manner of some is. You can " loose- out with god, being lsolated.

[@gohsenglin4486]

One thing is clear! The bible says in the last days, there will be a great falling away of christian believers! We are living in such times! One of the reason is that the gospel preached is not the gospel that Jesus preached. Leaders are preaching a watered down gospel just to attract the people into the kingdom. Leaders are preaching a different gospel that Jesus preached. These are unsound doctrines that the bible calls "The doctrines of demons". With itching ears, these believers embraces these teachings. Also, many are drawn to feel good messages that they leave the church feeling good about themselves. The message appeals and appeases to their flesh but it doesn't feed the Spirit. So, there is no true transformation of Christ like character. When a false gospel is preached, it will be a false conversation into Christianity; it will be a false repentance; it will be a false transformation; they will become false followers of Christ. They are the goats. They are the tares. Their christian foundation is flawed. Their foundation is built upon the sand not upon the rock. Also, there are many who starts off well but do not end well. These are believers who are genuinely believing in Jesus and have turned away from Him. They are like a dog going back to its vomit. They are like a sow going to the mud and wallow in it again. They have tasted the goodness of God but turn away from Him. How frightful it will be on the day of judgement!!!

[@alanrogers5106]

Whatever faith I had before 2010; perhaps a "form of godliness, that denies the power of God", was insufficient to keep me from Agnosticism. I found myself in a very dark place. I've got good news. In 2010, JESUS got a hold of me. Today I am on fire.

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to move on, I really loved her so much i can't stop thinking about her and the memories we shared. I've tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail. I'm frustrated, and i don't see my life with anyone else. I've done my best to get rid of the thoughts, but i can't. I don't know why I'm saying this here, but i really miss her and i wish i could get her back.

[@VictorB.Henrickson]

have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about three years ago, but i could not let her go. So i had to do all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back. We are back together, and i must say i am enjoying every moment.

[@RichardK.Turner]

Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach her?

[@RichardK.Turner]

Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive

[@ronkebarber6238]

Be still and wait on the Lord. If you use your strength or other means to get her back, you might miss why God permitted it- if you're a believer in Christ Jesus, if not, still go to Him and tell it all to Him, asking the Holy Spirit to help. Believe, and you will eventually have the grace to praise Him. Romans 8. It's painful now, and it may continue to be, but if you place your love for God above your love for her, she will stop being an idol in your heart and you will stop hurting. So, dare lift up your hands and praise God as you are now, and not wait until you see the end of your faith, just believe because He loves you and He is Faithful and True. Hebrews 11:1. You cannot love anyone above God! He is a Jealous God. He may bring her back if you show that God is above her.

[@housechurchuk]

Thank you so much for this podcast. I was slow to come to faith, and when I did buy a Bible I bought a cheap one so as to not waste money if I didn't find it relevant. But in the first 3 or 4 months I read it cover to cover finding it SO RELEVANT, and I do still today 35 years on. It is truly living, it is the voice of God and our access to it should hold us in awesome wonder, it should not gather dust. And no, it's not a rule book, it's perfect advice from our Heavenly Father, and how much we follow it reflects, as you say, how much we trust Him.

[@clevelandcf]

John said “Those who don’t consciously pursue God will start walking and being pulled away by the world” I think much of this has to do with the fact that 95% of Christian parents send their children to public schools and colleges. We are commanded by God to raise our children in an environment that speaks of the truth of God and proclaims His gospel. We are commanded to disciple our children and talk about the Lord when we get up in the morning, and when we work, when we sit down to eat, when we lie down to rest. (Duet 6) when we send our kids of to spend 8-12 hours of each day being taught everything except the truth of God how do we expect to overcome the lies in the very short time we spend with our children each day. We send our children to be taught by Cesar and are surprised when they come back acting like Romans. The Barna study showed that 80% or more walk away from their faith by the time they finish their freshman year in college. We need to protect our children and diligently teach them about the Lord because the Word tells us in Luke 6 that students become like their teachers. Each day I’m more and more convinced that Christian parents should remove their children from the public school system and walk in the mandate that God has called us to in raising our children to know Him. The best option is home schooling and the second option would be a Bible believing Christian school. Anyway, that’s just been my heart in the last few years. Ultimately parents are responsible but I believe we are abdicating our responsibility to organizations that are against the truths of God and His Word. When we do that we shouldn’t be surprised by the outcome

Great podcast! It’s so sad to see how many once believers have lost their faith and left the church. There’s a nonbeliever in my family who grew up in the church. He doesn’t seem to question God or His existence. He questions the obedience and authenticity of God’s children. It made me think of a quote by Brennan Manning. “The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” I was reminded that I need to not just read and meditate on God’s Word, but be a doer of the Word. Be obedient and ask God to open the eyes of my heart.

God literally manifested through this podcast! so, am a teen from India..yesterday during the dawn i was praying and when i opened the word of God i stumbled upon a chapter from the book of bible i started to feel that this is just history and boring like what would that have to do with me and my situation then i started questioning if God was real cause i expected God to like talk verbally or send an angel to instruct me what to do in my situation and say that my prayers are answered and moreover am preparing of tough competitive exams so i considered it to be a time waste but this podcast opened my understanding that the word of God is God himself talking and its not just reading any other book but interacting and having fellowship with the creator...I understood its not a ritual but a relationship...thank God

[@e.m.8094]

Such a needed message, especially in today's western church culture. Thank you brother John.

[@ChrisPaceOfficial]

POWERFUL!!!!

[@FredrickJones338]

Hallelujah!!! I’m the favorite, $60,000 every week! Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and the church.

[@EthanParker766]

Oh really? Tell me more! Always interested in hearing stories of successes.

This is what Ana Graciela Blackwelder does, she has changed my life.

[@FredrickJones338]

After raising up to 60k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.

I left the church decades ago. I'll never go back. I read the bible, pray, and worship privately. God is my salvation and I didn't need a priest or preacher to find Him and learn how to live my life. It's wrong to say that 30 million people who left the church are lost. The arrogance of this is astonishing.

[@geoattoronto]

Agreed!

[@johnmoorman6482]

I agree must read the Bible in the spirit

Yes Sprit and the Truth

[@AlexisLuke]

Amen 🙏God has been so faithful to me i exalt his name now and everyday of my life. ☦️🙏❤ Awesome God ❤My family are happy once again and can now afford anything for my family even with my Retirement. $87k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.

[@RoseOliviasantafe]

Awesome transformation, Tell me about it!!!!🙏

[@AlexisLuke]

It's Renee Marie Harrison doing she's changed my life. A BROKER- like her is what you need.

[@RogerStaplergeorgieva]

Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Renee Marie Harrison.

[@JesusLovesyou-zg7pp]

I know that woman (Renee Marie Harrison) If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, she's my family's Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!!!

[@JesusLovesyou-zg7pp]

$500K monthly is something you should feel differently about.....

[@TammySwinford-qg7lm]

I believe churches are not teaching the truth that we must walk out our salvation with fear and , trembling, and stop using Grace to have a license to sin and understand who God is and stop living in fairytale land by saying you do this you do that you give this you give that and you’ll get what you want from God .

[@MightyWomanOfGod9050]

Amen!! I believe the number one thing is the lack of the fear of the Lord in churches! Prosperity gospel is cancerous and a doctrine of demons!

[@lisabrickner6004]

Godbless you brother.. This is the timeline I am watching for as well.. Thankyou for giving me hope again today!!!! The warfare has been unbearable and my body is broken..

[@farrkg9]

Because they never believed in the first place. Their unbelief outweighed their faith. Full surrender-that’s what’s commanded.

[@mikekayanderson408]

It has to be an inner work of God! A regeneration. A true conversion in the soul and heart which can only be brought about By God. His saving grace. One has to be born again. Only God can do this. K

[@leonhargreaves4424]

That's a cop out. There are many reasons that cause people to disconnect from religion. Some of us got tired of the scammers wearing angelic facades and preaching out of context. I'm more peaceful and joyful than when I sat in church. My connection to God and others is incredible now that I'm out of the toxic Pentecostal/Charismatic world.

[@Melissa-ms4xn]

Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $18,500 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️

[@OttoMateo-nx3wl]

Amen. I believe when God blessess it exceeds beyond my expectation. I know my Father in heaven is a generous father who provides the needs of his children🥰

[@OttoMateo-nx3wl]

I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??

[@RomeoNzeh]

Every one of my prayer requests is about to manifest in the Name of Jesus I receive and connect with this message in Jesus' mighty Name Amen🔥🙏

[@Melissa-ms4xn]

After enduring many struggles, I am now filled with gratitude for owning a new home. My family is happy, and everything is finally falling into place.

[@OttoMateo-nx3wl]

I have been searching for ways to achieve success. Can you please guide me on how to do so?

[@pauvaldz7279]

Came on time! I was reading my Bible this morning and I couldn't believe what the Psalmist said, "Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long." (Ps119:97) I was like, "Is this man for real? Who would love commands? Who would love to be commanded? When our parents command us to clean the house, etc, it's never fun." And this verse really made me think that maybe my love is cold or I am missing something. But in this podcast, I realized, yes I love God's commands (maybe not always emotionally, but I keep it close to my heart and do my best to renew my mind daily on the word).. because it is best for me. Sometimes, it is painful, but loving doesn't just mean feeling good, it is obeying, it is not drifting away from it. ❤

[@InsideOutWithCourtnaye]

Let’s go! Glad you’re doing this podcast! It’s time! Bold truth!

[@faithhomeministries]

I can’t wait!!!!!

[@athomewiththebeveres]

We are SO excited for this Podcast, JB!

[@Homegrown44]

Bless you sir. Such an encouragement to keep reading His Word.

[@felyatsherifova9485]

This message is a confirmation for me ! Thank you! God bless! 🔥🔥🔥✝️

[@roisinwelsh9605]

This is so awesome! Excited for John's new podcast and for the wisdom he has to share!

[@taonajoy]

Thank you so so much for this podcast! It has reignited a flame of passion for the word 🔥❤

[@TheUnexpectedPodcast]

Thank you, John Bevere! You and Lisa have blessed our family with your teaching for many years.

[@cjo3050]

The Lord bless you & keep you. The Lord make His face Shine upon you & be Gracious to you. The Lord Lift up His Countenance upon you & Give you Peace. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💛💛💛

[@christianedesbois1317]

Such a blessing ti hear you, thank you!

[@RyanColeEmpowerment]

I’m incredibly excited about this podcast! I believe John Bevere is uniquely qualified to address some of these hard-hitting questions that people have about their faith. I hope that he dives into some of the more controversial topics and even confront head on some of the teachings that have appeared in places like TikTok and have formed this movement of deconstruction. Which is different than just questioning your faith and reaffirming or clarifying some of the beliefs that you’ve had about the Bible or God that may have been wrong. This deconstruction movement is diabolical and has to be confronted head on with truth. God bless you on this podcast.

[@emorale7]

John and Arden thanks for the for the word. You are both a Blessing....If you do not start or give the first of your day to God Satan will keep you BZ and keep you from the Word / study and Prayer times. If we are the temple of God then we need the bread of Life, we need the alter of prayer and we need the illumination and revelation of Gods Light Menorah described in the temple to reveal His word.

[@anointedtowin2480]

Thank you for this teaching. Blessings to everyone🌈🌈🌈

[@jennyflannery3649]

Thankyou John for doing the podcasts.

[@Nolongeriwholive929]

Sincere thank you for this guys! I definitely experienced His presence and a renewed desire to know Him through the Bible. Blessings!

[@triciacarpenter3048]

Awesome!! Everything you talked about is such a confirmation of what the Lord has put in my heart ❤️ also! Thank you for being obedient to God in doing this! I am richly encouraged and blessed by this conversation. And Arden, I am grateful for your presence and input as my sons and daughters are your age also... your perspective keeps my heart hopeful and encouraged that the Lord is continuing his work in them as they grow in the Lord. Blessings to you both

[@rosemarie5090]

Thank you John. So blessed by this podcast. A timely message. Our only anchor is the Word of God that will keep us from drifting. God bless you.

I so appreciate this podcast! Thank you 🙏🏻 Blessings from TX.

[@applefeliciaonly]

The numbers are staggering and I pray God will reveal to me ways that I can contribute to the body to lift up other believers or people who are at risk of walking away. I love and subscribe to all the Beveres and apart of Messenger X and so appreciate the discipleship provided. God bless you guys! ❤

[@kelimartin9118]

I love John Bevere. I have only been following you for months but the spiritual food you bring to my everyday life is such an incredible blessing. I am doing a connect group on your book the Awe of God because when you talk about the Holy fear of God I am blown away and want so many other to know so they can share with the world. You are truly a blessing from God. May God continues to grace you with these amazing teachings.

[@SofiaNesmith]

Yipppy....happy..thank you.

[@PauchiaLebitsa]

Amen 🔥 God is Amazing 🙌

[@alansteinert4249]

Just began to watch on replay. I'm sure you will define 'walking away from the faith' vs just being unchurched and quit about their faith.

[@lilianeruzindana1436]

May the Lord bless you abundantly for doing this podcast. I'm always blessed by your teachings and your lovely wife Lisa. You're truly a blessing to the body of Christ

[@kurianantony6391]

Thanks John. This is extremely relevant.

[@cindyhaugen6168]

Praise God! Thank you so much for your faithful teaching of God's Word! I'm also being changed by your book " The Awe of God" it has meant so much to me I passed it on to a homeless minister who's studying it with other Christians in the shelter. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ALL God's WORD will go and how many people will be brought to and back into the kingdom. God's richest blessings on this beautiful ministry of you and all your family!

[@elenalevine70]

Amen!

[@reginafalzone8537]

Thank you for your podcast!🙏🏻

[@camdkid]

I've found your ability to teach and dissect the word encouraging in my walk with Christ. Thank you for this. I do feel like I've felt to walk but I've found hope in prayer. Thank you for this

[@stevesawyer6377]

I am looking forward to your continued teaching. Our men's group was inspired by this podcast and plan on discussing it further at our next meeting.

[@T-41]

Secularism in the western world has been growing for many years. The traditional beliefs and practices of organized religion don’t work well for younger people. Fear, guilt, tribalism, and exercise of power by dominating government - won’t turn this around. Focusing on the teachings of Jesus to love and help each other, especially those in need has lots of appeal .

[@lorenalindemer2167]

Thank you so much 🙏 God bless you 🙏 I'm from Germany and I appreciate your work for the kingdom🙏 Thank you to the whole Bevere family 🙏🥰🙏

[@vickiescott8014]

I love your podcast. Thank you for explaining everything

[@junebuge.9192]

That was a really good first podcast. But all the Bevere family always gives us nothing but perfect ways to God. Thank you.
