The Spiritual War for Your Attention | Episode 230 | Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere

[@cynthiadedner1980]

Lord, help me to not be a DRIFTER but to stay FOCUSED on Jesus and my PURPOSE.

[@pianoatthirty]

Jesus is our purpose

[@SinclairJireh]

Thank you so much Lisa and John Bevere. You guys are doing an amazing job. This messages are timely. Today’s message has really added more wisdom in my life. I understood that the only way to destroy the lie of the enemy is to know the truth and adhere to it by making it your standard. Love you so much the Bevere’s

[@mikeben46]

I wish there wasn't so much interruption. It makes it hard to stay focused.

[@sarahbautista-ck2uy]

I find it sweet when lisa interrupted john & reminded him about an experience with the boat, and also i appreciate her humor😂. I always listen to their podcast while working/encoding, or doing chores, their conversation refreshes me! I benefited a lot from their books also! Love this power couple! They support and complement one another. Ive been following them since 2015 till now. So blessed with their life! More of God's anointing in your lives! Your union is a blessing to the church! All glory to.God!

[@savannahbrunell]

God bless you both! I have been going through a spiritual trial but praise Jesus He got me through it! Please pray for my ex-husband. He out of the blue said he didn’t believe in Jesus and then told me he wanted to get a divorce. Within 2 months I was divorced. Mind you, we’ve been together since I was 14…he went to church every single week with me. He professed Jesus as Lord and savior. I’ve found out some other terrible news about his situation since our divorce…my heart is going out to him. Please pray for him. Pray that the blindness of the evil one gets removed from his mind and that he LOVES the Truth. His name is Ryan. Thank you all. 🙏

[@angelicacline]

I COMPLETELY relate to this! I married my high school sweetheart at the very early age of 18. We have an almost 2 year old together and when we were teenagers we used to go to church together. As adults we were both in discipleship groups, him in a men's and I was in a women's group. I knew he wasn't reaching for the Lord and tapping into EVERYTHING the Lord has/had for him so I started praying DESPARETELY for his soul and his life. I remember standing in my kitchen and ignorantly (however I do not regret it, but IT WAS IGNORANT) declared war on his oppressors. I actually prayed aloud, "if you don't let him go, then prepare for war." AND BOY DID THEY! I remember shouting at him in frustration and desperation "WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Later he told me he was so "sick and tired of hearing me talk about God ALL THE TIME!" I actually chuckled and not in a "haha, I'm getting on your nerves" type of chuckle, but because I just KNEW in that moment I was wearing down the enemy. Later, God brought that up to me to help me process it and dive deeper into what I actually heard. The enemy was losing his grip. He was "white knuckling it" having to hold onto him because I was fighting with God on my side! The enemy was getting TIRED, sick and tired of me fighting against him! That was such a big deal for me personally because I have ALWAYS struggled with fear and always have been a door mat for everyone. So to know and to believe that God had empowered me to make my enemy STRIVE to hold on, it was big for me. I started praising and shouting, "THE ENEMY IS AFRAID OF ME! THE ENEMY IS LOSING HIS GRIP!" He ended up ending the relationship and is still pursing his wicked lifestyle. My battle is not over. It's almost over, praise God. Pray if you will as I will for your ex that God would be GLORIFIED first and foremost in their lives and that no matter how dark it gets for them, that the Lord redeems them and that they do submit and surrender themselves over completely to the Lord.

[@mandyharris4]

God bless you both, @savannahbean3191 and @angelicacline ❤ Thank you so much for sharing! I'm so encouraged by your testimonies of persistence, love, courage, forgiveness, and faith. I'm partnering with you in believing for God's saving Love to consume the hearts of both of your ex-husbands 💕

[@savannahbrunell]

@@mandyharris4 thank you so much! 🙏❤️✝️

[@italiaduncanson6808]

I can also relate. My husband and I have been best friends 21 years prior to getting married. We've been married 15 years. Last year, he asked for a divorce again. He had asked the year before but later came back and said he didn't want it. This time, he was very cold and selfish. All I could hear God telling me was to love him in spite of. Long story short....it was months of loving the unlovable. The Holy Spirit empowered me to do so. We started our divorce process, separated from our marriage home, and 5 months after, my husband encountered Jesus and begged me to give him another chance. I did. His encounter with Jesus is so evident and I have a new marriage. A new husband. Be encouraged. Continue to love the unlovable and know that anything is possible if you believe.

[@jennekleinlein]

Sometimes people feel like the only way out is to say the one thing that will hurt you the most. In Ryan’s case, he said he doesn’t love/believe in Jesus. Maybe he truly thinks he feels this way…But maybe he just didn’t have the real words to speak to you. Or the courage to tell you the real reason. Just something to think about. 🥰

[@valeriegarcia9105]

“How can we think about Scripture if we don’t read Scripture?” Wow! Amen!🙌🏽

[@greenlizardministrieswithj8053]

Great word!

[@angelicacline]

When you said Satan appoints leaders, immediately what entered my mind was "there are two kingdoms." I remember asking God why does Satan care and strive SO MUCH to get people on his side. He already knows he's lost, he's not fighting from victory. So, why does he keep trying to drag people to Hell with him? What does he get out of it? After some time the Lord answered me with Proverbs 14:28 "A growing population is a king’s glory; a prince without subjects has nothing." So, when we turn from God and submit to wicked ways, we glorify Satan. Interestingly, the previous verse pairs perfectly with verse 28. "Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain; it offers escape from the snares of death." Fear of the Lord is how we stay FAR from wicked ways, and stay on the righteous path, the narrow road. The Lord has been repeating this phrase of "fear of the Lord" partially with your book and also with scripture. Since I have heard your message about fear of the Lord, I have been praying for understanding and the wisdom and to have fear of the Lord. Also, for the last several weeks I have been praying that God would deep-seat me in humility, bath me, cloth me, and saturate me in the humility of Jesus - to make my humility match Jesus'. Well, yesterday's verse of the day on the Holy Bible app was Proverbs 22:4 "Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life." Which also circles back around to Proverbs 14:27

[@benboruvka]

Great podcast

[@Essexkiwi]

I personally don’t mind Lisa interrupting, it to me shows that she is thoroughly engaged and always contributes something of substance 😊.

[@Cheyoung-jin]

Thank you so much John and Lisa for the wonderful video. I’m 23 speaking from South Korea, where the new wave of pop culture is happening, which is great that many more get to about our country, but I see so much more individuals suffering due to depression, anxiety from comparison in all different ages of lives. I want to spread the word of God boldly to people around me, to hold onto God’s words more, but I still have no certainty on how that’s gonna play out. Pray for me on that with me. God bless! 😊

[@debstrunk892]

Awesome conversation!! What authenticity and quality of truth more!!! More!!!!

[@rileytafaro]

So so good !! Also, love opening with a good Italian joke🤌🏼 love you guys!

[@TheGodsgarden]

Thanks John & Lisa! Much needed! God bless you both and family. ❤

[@moses1488]

I love the LORD ❤❤❤

[@GodGivesNewBeginnings]

I have to read this book!

[@pianoatthirty]

It's literally demonic 'Law of Attraction' literature. Like 'The Secret'. Shame on John and Lisa for trying to connect it with the Bible.

[@hannahmoreira2530]

So much wisdom in these conversations. Thank you for sharing the wisdom and knowledge with all of us in bite size retainable ways.

[@louisabernadette6809]

Hello from the other side of the world, FIJI. Loving this truth!

[@amymichael6952]

I have been watching Lisa for awhile and I really enjoy her sermons. I also live in Lakewood, Colorado and I relate to her so much. I have drifted so far but I have come back to the Lord. I read the book I am Not What I Weigh . I started to watch Adamant in the morning before I go to work.

[@GraceTruth29]

I LOVE YOU GUYS ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sthandiwemnguni6449]

I have almost all of your books and y'all encouraged me on a regular basis. I spend a lot of time in bed because I have stage 4 cancer. You have helped me to Grow closer to God through all of your family. Thank you!!❤Love

[@DamonDuval]

I’m a tall red head lol! I’m 6’8”. I am praying for you! For an increase of revelation of God’s word and God’s presence in your life. That you receive a good health report that is cancer free in Jesus name. I know I never met you but I love you!

"if your soul isn't anchored in Jesus you will surely drift away"

[@need4HIM]

There is a great deal of distraction nowadays, This is a daily challenge for me. Getting priorities in order is crucial.

[@tammycason2775]

Love listening to y’all! I gain simplicity and understanding every time I listen to y’all, and I am able to apply y’all’s teach in my everyday life!! Thank you! God bless!

[@jamee8784]

[@AllAboutYve]

I love you both, individually and as a couple. And I also enjoy how you appreciate and celebrate your Italian culture. It's a beautiful depiction of embracing how God made you while also acknowledging you are first and foremost children of God. ❤🎉

[@patriciabriscoe1453]

Changes and choices give me a vision of spiritual growth.

[@carole-linebourque3709]

Bonjour à vous deux ! Merci beaucoup de vos moments de réflexion et de riches partages des vérités de la Parole de Dieu que le Saint Esprit inspire. Est-ce qu'il serait possible de pouvoir, avec tout votre zèle et votre passion pour Jésus , Sa Parole et le Royaume de Dieu, utiliser un débit de voix un peu plus lent pour faciliter et privilégier de chacun de vos rendez-vous divins? Soyez richement benis vous et votre famille. ❤❤

[@ericiaoquinn]

I love hearing you… i was listening to your 1 hour sermon on the awe of God on you tube one night and i was laying on the couch listening. Facing the couch i began to Smell a mild scent of cotton candy. I don’t eat that and there was none in the house. It went on for about 30 min of hearing this sermon. I truly believe the anointing of the Lord is upon your book( i have it in audible) i could smell the sweet presence of the Spirit of the Lord. I have smelled this before but only when im deep in prayer or focused on the Lord completely . This is why i listen to you and lisa. Love her book girls with swords and lioness arise. But the anointing or approval of the Lord is upon you. Thank you for seeking the heart of God. ❤🤜🏼🤛🏽

[@debdobrosky8139]

🙏✝️🙏

[@ritanonmacher126]

This is so good and so true. I really want to get back in the word of God and STAY there! God have mercy on us all. Give us the grace and strength to stand strong and endure to the end. And wake up the church and raise up the intercessors to stand in the gap for this country. 🙏🙏🙏. Thank you John and Lisa for speaking the truth even when it wasn’t easy. God bless you both. 🙏🙏🙏

[@corinacardich5988]

What a blessing you are bringing truth and revelation with transparency !!!

[@mutawalajean1833]

may God bless your ministry

[@happiestkati]

Without listening this podcast, I was praying 3 weeks ago and I was aware when a thought that was not godly came in my mind, I was surprised where and why this thought came while I was praying and then I heard the Holy Spirit say, sanctify your mind. And than the passage from Rom 12:2 came in my mind and it was so alive in me how important it is to sanctify our minds and thoughts. I have to be awake for every thought that comes in my mind and it's good to compare our thoughts with the passage in Philippians 4:8 (and not only) if they are loveable, true, right ect. If my thoughts are not holy or according to God's word the Holy Spirit told me to use my authority to put them down and to wear the mind of Christ! Still working on this topic that's why I had more understanding listening to this podcast how devil uses our weakness on our thoughts and minds and why is so important to have a holy mind so thank you very much for sharing this, it helps me a lot 🙏

[@angelicacline]

This by far is my favorite conversation. My brain is stirring right now and this gives me so many things to pray about that I normally would not even think about. Thank you so much for this conversation! It truly is an important one. I really hope there are more conversations about THIS conversation.

[@davidjohn85]

I am most grateful to have just discovered your podcast.Yours sincerely,David from London,England.

[@catherinebarnett8856]

I am loving these conversations! They are filled with so much truth and are setting me free and encouraging me to stay in the fight of faith and fight to renew my mind daily! I loved the example of steering a boat!! That spoke volumes to me!!! Thank you guys for having the heart of teaching the body and doing it for free!!! 😭 that is the best part!!

[@angelikamoor185]

Thank you John and Lisa ❤❤❤

My English is getting better and better, thanks to your podcast 😅😉! Even though the English language is a challenge for me and I listen to your podcast with subtitles, the time and effort behind it is absolutely worth it to me. I am so hungry for “your” wisdom and life experience. Thank you for your investment, Thank you Jesus! ❤

[@jasonkyler5572]

Good word guy's, good and meaty.

[@kimberly1868]

Great message!!

[@georgina4874]

Thanks for that scripture and this video.

[@moeshelton5872]

Lisa, work on the interruptions please. With love. I love y’all’s conversations and podcast and in no way want to come off disrespectful. But it is a distraction when you cut in while John is talking.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@sleepstudyrelaxasmr5028]

Amazing!

[@yasminogbu8929]

Love them both ❤️ but it was funny how much Lisa gets distracted in the podcast 😂😂

[@AM-dm1pl]

A lot of people don't understand how dark things can get in your mind. And how strongly the devil has a hold of many. I've been a Christian all my life and have loved the Lord. But bitterness and resentment took over almost every thought. The devil would attack me in dreams when I would take the right step towards God or others.

[@kennethbrianflugel9911]

Think for yourself. A wake up call to not let others think for you! Thanks for this, I needed to hear this. Kenneth F

Only just tapped into your teaching materials. I'm on my third viewing of the wilderness course. Highly impressed - wonderfully stirred - challenged to the core - gratitude attitude. Shalom shalom, Ian, UK

[@dermanydelgado9043]

right you must to stay in the word

I really like tour soundtrack guys!!

[@mckenzielatiolais9510]

Please pray for my daughter Emily, she will not allow me to see my grandson, because my Pastor baptized him. I miss him sooo very much.😢

[@natalienakazwe8716]

It says conversations guys, its not a sermon. They are simply letting you in on their personal conversations.

[@audreychisum8930]

❤❤❤

[@kurthartwell9511]

Great message. The church is the reason we’re heading the way we’re going from sitting on the sidelines. It needs to stop being a luke warm Americanized church.

[@LetscookwithVanessa]

Lol poor John, he is such a good sport😂

[@user-rb8wz4hx8b]

Just started listening to your podcast. Its lovely to see you both bounce off one another in agreement. What's putting me off though is that Lisa keeps talking over the top of John abd not giving him time to speak. Really sorry if this hasnt come across well. Just a thought.

[@corinacardich5988]

❤

[@PamzyNgozi]

pls do more discussions on the devil with that book.

[@melodymorris5384]

I love to listen to John! I love to listen to Lisa! I cannot listen to you two together. But that’s OK because there’s plenty of material on KZbin where I can hear one and then the other.Thank you for keeping a spirit filled message in a world where”spirit filled”isn’t excepted very many places. Your material never gets old never goes out of style. I am as convicted by the bait of Satan as I was 20 years ago. And I can’t count how many teachings of Lisa they have set me free. I am currently looking for a ladies Bible study to lead for our Tuesday morning Bible study. Do you know how much trouble I’m having finding a Ladies Bible study that is from a spirit filled teacher? I am open to suggestions if you have any.

[@expo1706]

Wasn’t Napoleon Hill a new ager? I remember when I was young, reading my mom’s book, The Seduction of Christianity, if not mistaken saying he was a new ager (if not mistaken). How a demon came and told him what to write.

[@lindastaehr]

How can we take relevant advice from someone God calls the "father of lies"? I know a lot of Christians that get så hung up on purpose, that they drift in life, in stead of trusting Christ through hardship...

[@angelarigdon8851]

I really love the conversations and topics. Thank you! Please Lisa can you stop interrupting. It’s very distracting and takes away from the conversation. I want to hear what you have to say but it’s very hard to listen to. I struggle with this too and it’s something I need to do also.

[@expo1706]

Bevere sounds more like an English name, not Italian. Italiano vero?

[@ericiaoquinn]

I talk with my hands… im german and irish… lol

[@Jahjahsupplee]

You drift away because you are not deeply grounded n rooted in Christ.

[@dermanydelgado9043]

speak it wonder away from God

[@lizabetts9737]

Lisa keeps on butting in, it's so distracting

[@novembergirl4280]

"....it encourages Lisa and me (not I)..." i only share this so we can remove distractions and reasons for unbelievers to dismiss us. I am a grammar teacher, I pray you receive this in love, as I send it in love.🙏❤️ When we use the word I or me the rule to figuring it out is removing the other person's name, such as your sentence would sound like this: " it really encourages I when listeners send us feedback" So when you say it really encourages Lisa and I it just sounds really wrong to those who know how to use it. Very distracting and so so many pastors say it wrongly. Versus, " it really encourages Lisa and me", because you would normally say me speaking about yourself. I pray you will take this to heart and that it will help you.

[@nanceandthings820]

Hello, your content is so powerful. But, really, Lisa is a distraction. He can't hardly finish a sentence or a thought. Even if her comments are helpful, the interruptions causes a distraction.
