Evangelist Christina Perera has a passion for feeding people. But although her various outreach efforts serve the homeless, her true ministry extends far beyond supplying them with food.

“Ultimately, my greatest passion is to feed people—spiritually and physically,” Perera tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network. And, she adds, her passion for loving and serving these people has given her a surprising way to build unity in the body of Christ.

“I love just being able to break off a piece of Jesus and just give Him to a hurting world,” Perera says. “There are so many out there who are lost and who are hurting and dying. And we have the bread of life. We have the eternal one. We have the one who sustains us. I love what Peter says. He says, ‘Where could I go? You’re the one who has the words of life.'”

As Perera shares both physical and spiritual bread with the lost and hurting, she says, she loves to partner with other ministries. “We’re all about changing people’s mindsets, as well, especially the way that people see their brothers and sisters in the community. In the kingdom of God, when we do an event, we don’t run everything ourselves. We will partner with different ministries, different churches, different businesses, and we will bring together what everybody is already doing really well.”

This brings the kind of unity the world is seeking, Perera says. “I think it really comes down to seeing Christ in each of us and honoring exactly what each one is already doing really well,” she says. “I love that in ministry, we don’t reinvent the wheel. We just put people in place where they’re already working really well. … And I think just seeing Christ in each other and our work of Christ and one another is the beginning of unity.

“I think it’s really unfair for people to expect unbelievers to lead the world in unity. They don’t understand what unity is,” she says.

“When I got into a new job, there was someone who was very condescending to me,” says Ryan Howard.

And he knows he’s not alone in this experience, Howard, a global manufacturing expert, tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. His ministry and podcast, both titled Your Faith at Work, exist to address issues just like this.

“And I think this is what’s so important is because many people, they hear that ‘Your Faith at Work,’ and they think, OK, great. My work is meaningful. It matters to God; He cares about it. OK, great. … And they kind of go on to the next thing,” Howard says.

However, he adds, applying real faith to real work involves much more than that: “That difficult boss that you have, or that difficult relationship, or that thing you messed up or that thing you forgot to do, or … these sort of other crises of faith that may come up.”

And Howard has applied this attitude multiple times, he says. In the situation with the condescending co-worker, he says, “Normally, I wouldn’t let that go. But I was new to the department. And some time went by, and I finally woke up to that.”

After the condescension happened in view of others, Howard says, he spent time researching online about how to deal with it and found no answers—until he decided to consult God.

“Something just kind of floated to the top, and I got what I felt God was saying: ‘You need to say this,'” he says. “And so I said, ‘OK, give me the open door. And I’ll say it.'”

The next morning, Howard says, he went into the office at 6 a.m., only to encounter the person with whom he had the issue. The two talked, and “We just completely unraveled this whole thing that 10 hours of counseling discussion couldn’t have done,” he says.

Howard says it’s critical that we go to God about specific work issues and recognize that “He wants to use it. He may be shaping you for something; He may be honing you.”

Growing up in an Irish Catholic family with eight kids? Fun. Growing up with four deaf brothers and sisters? Challenging. Growing up with an alcoholic father? Even more challenging.

“It was hard for me to be a kid,” Tom “Papa Tom” Clark, who grew up in this exact situation, tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast.

Two stories about Clark’s youth define how he handled things, he says. “When I I graduated from high school at 18 years old, he didn’t have a job. So I wanted to celebrate my high school graduation, obviously. So I ended up paying for everything. I took the family out to Peter Luger’s, which is a famous steak place out on Long Island … And we acted like all the other kids in my class, whose parents were paying for everything. But I was the one who was paying for it because my father didn’t have a job.

“And exactly the same thing happened four years later, when I graduated from Georgetown University, he says. “My parents were at that time living in St. Louis. And I paid for both of their round-trip tickets, put them in an area hotels, here in Washington, D.C., and paid for their entire weekend, which at that time was probably about $1000-$1500. I paid out of my pocket.

Clark’s painful past gives him great empathy for the thousands of young people who are growing up today in a fatherless situation—either because their father is genuinely absent or because he is effectively absent from his parental responsibilities.

“I remember a statistic somewhere that said 85% of what children believe about themselves comes from their father,” he says. “Well, if you don’t have that, where do you find out information about life or about yourself? It’s absolutely missing. So you tend to replace it with other sources of information, fill in the gap, and there’s often the wrong source.”

Through his personal ministry that now extends to a podcast, The Father’s Heart, on the Charisma Podcast Network, Clark seeks to tap into the heavenly Father’s heart, sharing wisdom and insights with those who may need it today. He has also written a series of 12 books for children, Papa Tom’s Tales, that contain wisdom from “Papa Tom.”

Fear. Uncertainty. Confusion.

When the subway he was riding in São Paulo, Brazil, suddenly stalled between stations, late at night, pastor and bestselling author Max Lucado says he experienced all those emotions and more.

“It just came to a dead stop and all the lights went off,” he tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network. “It’s a scary thing to be in the dark. It’s an even scarier thing to be underground. And then it’s even more frightening to have no solution—just stuck, just stuck.

“And I’ve reflected back on the emotion that we all felt there, stuck in that subway train,” he says, referring to the season of pandemic and multiple other crises that assault us right now. “And I realized that’s why many people lead their lives. They feel like their world is dark, and they don’t know where they’re going. And they don’t have any solution.”

Lucado says his time stuck underground in São Paulo only lasted about 10 minutes. However, he adds, “Many people spend their lifetime with that emotion. And I think the reason that the Lord Jesus talks so much about heaven, so much about eternal life, is that He wanted us to lead a life that looks forward. We are made to be forward-looking people and to have faith in tomorrow.

“Now the truth is, it’s hard to have faith in a government, because government’s made up of human beings,” Lucado says. “It’s hard to have faith in money, because money will come and go. But heaven is the greatest way for us to bring hope to our souls. We lift up our eyes, and we set our minds on things that are to come. In any moment, we lift up our eyes and think about heaven. It’ll immediately bring a shaft of sunlight into the darkest heart.

“We are made to set our minds on things above, not things here on the earth,” he says. And, he says, there’s a way to accomplish this despite the fear and discouraging news that surrounds us. To hear more of Lucado’s wisdom, listen to the entire episode of the Greenelines podcast here. You’ll also want to check out his new book, Begin Again (Thomas Nelson) which he wrote to bring hope in this pandemic season.

“I prayed hundreds of times to God to heal my lungs. And it finally happened on July 2, 2016.”

So says prominent Washington, D.C., pastor Mark Batterson of National Community Church on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. And this bestselling author chose to celebrate in an unusual way: by running the Chicago Marathon.

But he didn’t accomplish such a challenging goal in a day or a week. As an asthmatic for more than 40 years, he wasn’t a runner. To accomplish his goal, he had to change his habits. And Batterson says that’s not easy in a world where, as February begins, most of us have already broken our New Year’s resolutions.

“I think the problem is that we’ve got to take those goals, and we’ve got to reverse engineer them into daily habits,” he tells Dr. Steve Greene. In his new book, Win the Day (Multnomah), he encourages readers with seven new daily habits that will move them into God’s divine destiny for their lives. The first, he says, is to “flip the script.”

“When I started training, I could barely run three miles, and I didn’t run very fast,” Batterson says. “And so what I had to do was download a training plan. And I did 72 training runs; it covered 475 miles over six months. Then and only then was I ready to run that 26.2 mile race.

“And so whatever that goal is, you’ve got to reverse engineer it and turn it into a daily habit,” he adds. “And, I might add, that is measurable, meaningful and maintainable. And those three things are pretty key when it comes to establishing new habits.”

Jonathan Cahn is known the world over for his latest bestselling narrative, The Harbinger II: The Return, as well as for his earlier books of powerful biblical prophecy—all of which have appeared on the New York Times bestseller lists and appeared simultaneously on the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association Bestsellers list, in addition to many other prominent bestseller lists. Millions of fans have embraced the messages of his books.

As the nation grapples not just with a crushing pandemic but with economic distress and vast political upheaval, Cahn—concerned for our union—delivered a message just last week in a video with over 1.4 million views to newly inaugurated President Joe Biden.

“We stand in a most critical moment,” says Cahn. “Mr. President, you have called for unity and peace. But how can a nation have unity and peace when it has turned against the God who brought it into existence?”

Cahn continues: “A nation that once led its schoolchildren in prayer, and taught them of God’s Word, now declares such prayers and teachings to be forbidden. It now instructs its children against the ways of God. How can we have unity and peace in America if we have no unity and peace with God?”

Cahn adds a direct plea to Biden, a practicing Catholic who—after taking the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2021—has begun signing a series of highly controversial executive orders:

“Mr. President, how can you place your left hand on the Bible, the Word of God—and then with your right hand, sign laws into existence that war against His Word? How can you invoke the name of God and your oath and lay your hand upon His Word—and then implement laws that will suppress the going forth of His Word, laws that will censor His Word and all those who advance it?

“Do you plan to enact laws, Mr. President, that will disregard the distinction between male and female, men and women? Did not the warning of our first president, George Washington, involve that very thing if we disregard the eternal rules of order that heaven itself has ordained?

“You plan to enact laws that will specifically neutralize the protection of religious freedom. You plan to strike down the Hyde Amendment so that more children will be murdered—and so that Americans who recognize abortion as murder will be forced to support the act of murder through their taxes.

“And you plan to empower the act of killing unborn children not only within the borders of America, but throughout the world, so that yet more rivers of blood will flow. Mr. President, how does one do such things and name oneself as a believer in God and a follower of Jesus? How does one make the sign of the cross—and then sign decrees that rage against what God has so clearly set forth, in His Word, concerning life and death, holiness, sin, righteousness and immorality, good and evil?”

To save our country, Cahn urges the 46th president to immediately lead a “return to God”:

“To you, Mr. President, and all who have joined you in this agenda, all who sit in the halls of power: This day will pass. The applause of men and women will fade. This administration will be over one day. This world will pass away—but you will stand before God and give account, for it is written in His Word that we will each stand before God and give account. And on that day, all the power you once wielded will be gone—and all the fame and glory you received will amount to nothing.

“It will be you and Him. You will be required to give account. Did you follow the will and Word of God, or not? If you pursue these things, then you did not. And the blood of children will be on your hands. And then will come eternal life—or eternal judgment. The voice of God calls out to you and to all to turn and follow Him with all your heart, He who gave His heart and life, that you might be saved.

“America has turned away from God. Its only hope is to return to God. Mr. President, choose greatness and lead in that return—or continue in this departure from God to destruction and judgment.”

With the release of The Harbinger II: The Return in September 2020, millions of new fans have embraced Jonathan Cahn’s powerful prophecies. His latest book, available for purchase online and everywhere, debuted at No. 4 on the New York Times bestsellers list, made the Amazon Bestsellers Top 10 lists of all books in the world and took three of the top 10 spots on Amazon’s Christian Books for print, Kindle and audio—each charting as a Top 10 Bestseller, including No. 1 Christian Prophecy and No. 1 Christian Prophecies. The Harbinger II also catapulted Cahn’s earlier books back onto bestseller lists, including The Oracle, The Paradigm and The Harbinger.

The author has made multiple media appearances, including in the New York Times, on CBN’s 700 Club, TBN’s Praise and Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson, among many others.

Jonathan Cahn’s first book, The Harbinger, became an instant New York Times bestseller when it was published in 2012. His next five books were also New York Times bestsellers: The Mystery of the Shemitah, The Book of Mysteries, The Paradigm and The Oracle, as well as The Harbinger II: The Return. Along with Billy Graham and Keith Greene, Cahn was named one of the top 40 spiritual leaders of the past 40 years who has radically impacted the world.

Cahn has spoken on Capitol Hill and at the United Nations. He leads Hope of the World ministry, an international outreach of teaching, evangelism and compassion projects. He also leads the Jerusalem Center/Beth Israel, a worship center made up of Jews and Gentiles, and people of all backgrounds, in Wayne, New Jersey. His ministry can be contacted at and on Jonathan Cahn Facebook.

Tenth Avenue North lead singer Mike Donehey knows a little about mistakes. He says that even as a preschooler, he was “a monsoon with feet.” On a trip to Disney World when he was 3, he says, his mother put him on a leash to help keep him safe.

“She looks over, and a kid who looks just like me goes walking past her. She looks down at the end of the leash, and I had taken the leash off and put it on another kid,” Donehey tells Dr. Steve Greene on a popular episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network. “That’s the sort of mischief you’re dealing with—a mastermind at 3 years old.”

And Donehey kept on what seemed to be a course of destruction until seventh grade, he says, when his middle school principal played a big part in changing his life. This man had plenty of opportunity, because the future Dove Award winner was sent to his office a record 42 times.

Despite this, Donehey says, that principal treated him not as he was, but as he knew he could be. When the principal caught him stealing candy by snaking his arm up through the vending machine, Donehey expected the worst.

“Michael, you’re telling me your integrity is worth 50 cents. I always thought it was worth more than that,” Donehey says the principal told him. “And then he just walked out.”

To this day, Donehey can’t steal even a drop of soda from a fountain machine, he says. “His voice rings in my head: ‘Is your integrity worth $1?'”

“And it wouldn’t be for years later that I would write a song that says, ‘You are more than the choices that you’ve made/ You are more than the sum of your past mistakes/ You’ve been remade,’ Donehey says, referring to his popular hit “You Are More.”

Editor’s Note: This is a two-part article. Watch for part 2, coming soon to .

I believe we are entering a new season when God’s Spirit will shake the world with the thunderous worship of surrendered hearts. As His glory intensifies on earth, new songs from heaven will pour out from believers, young and old. As His Spirit abounds, He will guide us into a truer revelation of His intent for worship.

Contrary to mainstream belief, emotionally charged worship is essential if we want to reach new heights. The term “emotional” is often used in a negative context when talking about worship, but feelings like love and gratitude bring sincerity to our melodies. If we desire more of Him, we can no longer settle for singing half-heartedly. Emotion must play a central part in worship, or else it’s not worship.

In the past, some well-meaning leaders have warned us to beware of emotionally hyped music because it could manipulate us into trusting a fake encounter with God. While a measure of this statement is true, I fear many believers have criminalized the very key that will bring worship to the next level.

“As you serve him, be glad and worship him. Sing your way into his presence with joy!” (Ps. 100:2, TPT).

This verse, plus many more, speaks of worshipping with love, joy, gladness, shouts, dancing and loud instruments. To assume boisterous worship is a form of emotional manipulation is not biblical. So where did this concept come from?

The concern is that we don’t want a light show and a catchy beat to entice us toward enjoyable music instead of God. We know an emotional high does not necessarily mean God is moving. But before we throw out our wild band members, let’s first learn to keep our hearts focused.

Whether we’re a part of the worship team or the congregation, temptation to lose focus will bombard us. Distractions like crying babies, tambourine ladies and even mystery smells will come at us every Sunday, but we don’t ban them from our churches. Unfortunately, we sometimes let music distract us too, but the problem is with our sidetracked thoughts, not the band. If we avoid passionate music because someone might be distracted or have the wrong motives, we will miss out on the glory that emotionally charged worship unlocks.

Emotional Experience Instead of True Worship?

My first experience with this issue occurred when my youth group attended summer camp. For days, the Holy Spirit moved mightily as many teens rushed to the altars to make fresh commitments to serve God. On the third night, everyone was ready to celebrate all that God had done, so the camp leaders lined up the youth bands from each church to play. As the keyboardist in our band, I couldn’t wait to join my team and give God my all.

The British youth group before us eagerly filled the stage with singers and a full band, including a horn section. On the first note, the room became electrified. Singing, “Lord of the dance/ You’re the dancing Lord,” they jumped and cried out to God. The sanctuary shook with jumping teens, hands raised and hearts abandoned. The song ended to thunderous applause.

My band moved toward the stage, ready to play something just as loud and celebratory. But we halted when the youth pastor of another church grabbed the mic and demanded the crowd’s attention.

“You’ve just lost everything you got this week!” he yelled.

My heart dropped as he continued his reprimand, telling us we were having an emotional experience instead of true worship.

Eventually it was our turn on the stage, but we choose to slow down the tempo of our song exponentially. The crowd worshipped some, but I was still in shock. And the revival atmosphere never returned.

Since then, I’ve served on worship teams for over 25 years. I’ve learned that it is possible to just have an emotional experience without genuine worship, but it’s not possible to have genuine worship without emotion.

So how do we navigate our excitement and our feelings in a way that pleases God? I want to share five benefits and five harms of emotional worship to help us elevate the maturity and depth of our worship.

Benefit 1: Our Hearts Carry the Emotion of Desire

“Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be” (Matt. 6:21, NLT).

God designed our spiritual hearts to contain our intellect, will and emotions. Like our physical heart, the spiritual one never stops, even when we are asleep. It is constantly pumping in and out thoughts, information and emotions, both good and bad.

When the Bible tells us to love God with all our heart, this includes the emotional parts of us too. Worship is a beautiful mix of intellect, will and emotions, all going up in honor to God. Yes, music heightens our emotions, but these open feeling are not fake. They were there all along, waiting to be let out. A well-played melody moves our heart to draw from a deeper well of love that already exists within us. We must let our full hunger yearn for Him, and music helps us position our hearts to do so.

Harm 1: Misdirected Desire

The problem we could face when unleashing the emotion of desire in worship is that it may be misdirected. We can’t seek after the blessings instead of the blesser. This could easily happen to anyone who isn’t staying in the Word, whether or not the music moves us. The Bible keeps Jesus at the center of everything, and so must we.

Like the crowds who followed Jesus just so He would multiply bread, we can fall into the same mindset if we’re not careful. When we worship God in a holy atmosphere, we will see the fruits of the Spirit in our lives, but we must remember it’s not the fruit we seek. Feelings like peace, excitement and joy can’t be our goal. Instead, these emotions are the byproduct of encountering the Holy Spirit. With or without blessings, let’s saturate our worship with desire for the one upon the throne.

Benefit 2: The Emotion of Love Is Our Gift of Worship

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal” (1 Cor. 13:1, NKJV).

What does our heavenly Father want to hear when we worship Him? Love. Without it, the music is just like my niece’s sixth grade orchestra, which, according to her younger brother, sounds like someone is playing a cow.

Love is most definitely an emotion. It stirs our desires and brings us to new levels of excitement. When we’re enraptured by love, we do some crazy things like cry, laugh, sing, shout or dance. Love makes us childlike in our worship. The Father wants all of our heart, and the more we give, the more He responds with His love.

Harm 2: Gifts Can Become Distractions

We’re in error if we shift our worship to someone or something other than God. When a person’s gift becomes a distraction, the human reaction is to focus our love on the amazing words or music we are hearing. The problem is not the singer who reminds us of Mandisa or the guitar solo that gives us goosebumps. The real problem arises when we worship the creation instead of the Creator.

Every heart will glorify something or someone whether or not the music is pumping. Does this mean exceptionally gifted people should avoid serving on the praise team because we may become distracted? Certainly not. Instead, we just adjust our focus back to glorifying God. It’s that simple. {eoa}

Arden Bevere, youngest son of John and Lisa Bevere, knows he had godly parents. He says they did a wonderful job of raising him and his three brothers, who now partner in the Sons & Daughters movement geared to empower today’s generation to connect with God.

“[My parents] framed out the gifting, and they framed out the inheritance and the identity in us boys from a young age,” Arden tells host Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenlines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network. Nonetheless, he says, he walked away from God while he was in high school—and it took a revelation from God to bring him back.

“I came through this stage where I thought, Yeah, I know there’s a God. I’ve seen the miracles that have happened at my parents’ meetings. And I’ve seen all this stuff, evidence. I know Jesus was real. I know He died on the cross.

“But at that point in my life, I was like, ‘I really don’t care,'” Arden says. “The party scene, all that stuff was more attractive to me. And it was funny, because as I walked away, all of the things that my parents had spoken over me since I was a little kid, and even through that season, were what led me back in that moment … it wasn’t this big, ‘Hey, I heard an amazing message.’ Actually, my dad was preaching a message that I had heard multiple times.

“And I say it [this way]: The fear of God hit me in that moment,” he says. “Some people say they get saved by the love of God; I got saved by fear of God, which I think is a beautiful thing that I want my generation to grab hold of more, the idea of the fear of God.”

And Arden quotes his dad, John, as he seeks to explain this concept. “He said, ‘The fear of God is not being afraid of God; it’s being afraid of being away from Him.’ And that’s going away from His Word—going away from His truth. It’s standing in awe of Him.”

Pastor and prophetic minister Ben Lim serves internationally but has a home base, Open Heavens World, overseeing three church plants in Southern California. In view of the current headlines, he says, he has a message for his fellow believers: “It’s not all doom and gloom.”

Instead, Lim tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network, “The Lord told me, Dr. Greene, that the most essential anointings are being released in this generation. And I feel like of course with the lockdowns and the fear of COVID, all of these things going on right now, the most essential anointings are thriving.”

Lim says he believes that California, instead of sliding off into the ocean or worse, is seeing a true move of God. “We’re seeing a spirit of awakening, and the churches are growing, churches are thriving—just a real hunger for God,” he says.

Lim ties this to a sermon series called The Great Exodus that God has him sharing with his church. “We’re talking about how God is raising up a Moses generation, after 40 years of failure, after running away and hiding for 40 years, now returning to the place of shame and guilt, and how God is going to raise up a generation to deliver people out of Egypt.

“And so I believe that’s where we are today in America and the nations, where God wants to raise up ministers of deliverance to deliver people, set the captives free from bondage, from principalities,” Lim says. “And I believe we’re going to see a great exodus where people are exiting old lifestyles, patterns, habits. And we’re going to see people … get the plunder of Egypt as well, because God put the Israelites in Egypt for a purpose, which is to plunder seven times full.”

Lim says the Exodus story offers hope that God “will raise up failure. And He will raise up people who made mistakes … God will still raise them up to deliver a generation from addictions and from worldliness and carnality, and that it’s not too late for you. So we must have hope in these times, because He’ll do it.”
