John Bevere says it took many years for him to learn the true meaning of the word “honor.” When God opened his eyes, the concept became a life-changer for the international evangelist and teacher.

Bevere says it isn’t always easy to walk in honor, especially when your views and values don’t jibe with those in authority. But whether or not you agree with them, you must learn to respect and honor them to reap blessings in your own life.

“Honor is the language of heaven,” Bevere told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. “If you look at the word ‘honor,’ it means valuable, weighty and precious, such as gold. So, whenever you say ‘honor,’ you’re thinking about valuing something or someone. To dishonor means to treat as ordinary or common.

“Here’s a Scripture to confirm it, in John 17. Jesus prayed this prayer: ‘Father, show them that You love them as much as You love Me.’ God values every man as much as Jesus Christ. We need to transfer this reality into everyday life, into the marketplace, in our homes, in government, in media. Before, we might have treated someone as common or ordinary, but now we must realize how valuable that human being is, no matter what he or she looks like or acts like.

“That’s the core of honor. So now we have to demonstrate it. Honor can be displayed in action, in word and thought, and all honor originates from the heart. This is why God says, ‘My people honor Me with their lips but their hearts are far from Me.’

“Jesus is a prime example when He returned to Nazareth. His own people didn’t honor Him. They withheld honor, and they got a very small reward in heaven for it.”

Could the “bomb cyclone,” winter storm Ezekiel that is currently crossing the United States, be the harbinger John Paul Jackson warned us about of a more impending and catastrophic natural disaster? End times expert Michael Snyder believes it is.

Snyder says many prophetic voices over the years have documented that someday a massive earthquake is coming to California, one that will forever alter the geography of the West Coast. In 2011, Jackson, however, specifically warned of a sign that would preclude such an earthquake—a storm of incredible force. That sign is winter storm Ezekiel, Snyder says.

“The earthquake is going to be the biggest natural disaster we’ve ever seen in U.S. history, by a very wide margin,” Snyder told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network. “But this storm, winter storm Ezekiel, has gotten extremely powerful. This ‘bomb cyclone’ has many of the characteristics that we would expect from a hurricane-type storm.

“When it came ashore, the USA Today reported it had gusts of up to 100 mph, and, of course, a Category 1 hurricane has winds from 74 to 95 mph. In terms of precipitation, it was expected to dump 4 feet of snow on the mountains. So, we’re talking about a storm of massive precipitation, and it is being called unprecedented.”

The monster storm brought havoc to the Midwest over the Thanksgiving weekend and continued to roll through the Northeast Monday, dumping more than 1 foot of snow in many areas. More than 50 million people remained under winter storm advisories.

“So, the big question is, is this the storm John Paul Jackson prophesied in 2011 as a warning sign to expect before the big California earthquake?” Snyder asked. “I can confidently say that no, the big earthquake that John Paul Jackson and so many others prophesied has not come yet because we had not seen the storm that Jackson said would come first. But now, after what happened this week, I can’t say that anymore.”

Susan Perlman knows that sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ can be difficult in a culture that is growing increasingly hostile to the gospel and to the things of God.

But as one of the co-founders of Jews for Jesus, Perlman has, for 46 years, experienced the added test of trying to convince the worldwide Jewish population that Jesus is the true Savior of the world. Another group and their fearless leader were tasked with the same daunting challenge nearly two millennia ago.

“It’s important for me to share the gospel with Jewish people because Jesus and His disciples did it,” Perlman told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network. “You think of His message in John 8:24, when He explained, ‘Unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.’ Then again in John 14:6, He says, ‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, and no one comes to the Father but through Me.’

“With both of these statements, when He made these unique claims about Himself, He was speaking to other Jews. Remember when Peter, because of his evangelistic activity, found himself standing before the 771 religious leaders of the Jewish people at the time? He declared there is no other name besides Jesus, or Yeshua, by which men can be saved.

“So, if Jesus and Peter and all the other disciples thought it was important to share the gospel with Jewish people, why should I think any less? It’s an important opportunity. First of all, if you know a person that has a Jewish background, then try to engage them in a conversation about Israel and what they think about Israel. Eventually, steer it into a spiritual conversation, and then you can talk to them about the Bible and Jesus. Leave it to them to share what they want to share.”

In 2015, The Atlantic magazine reported there were 350,000 Messianic Jews worldwide. Jews for Jesus reported that as of 2017, 20,000 Messianic Jews were living in Israel.

With the upheaval and chaos in our culture, including a crucial impending election, many believers head into the future with apprehension and fear of what it is to be.

But God Encounters Network Founder James Goll says the Holy Spirit has reminded him that the church needs to move forward with hope and great anticipation of the great things God has in store for us.

“We are crossing a new threshold, into a new era,” Goll told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network. “It’s not just a new year and it’s not only a new decade. It is a new era in Christendom.

“We are crossing over into a new, fresh move of righteousness and purity. The Holy Spirit is breathing on Psalm 24, which says, ‘Who may ascend the hill of the Lord; who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart.’

“This is a move of righteousness, and people will not succeed without understanding purity and righteousness. I am really emphasizing righteousness because this is what the Lord commands from us. I really believe that we have inherited great prophetic words from the forerunners that have gone before us. I believe this is the beginning of the greatest harvest the world and the church has ever seen.”

I am not a divider, but I diligently try to be a uniter. I refuse to be a critic, but I will always choose to be an encourager.

I endeavor, especially on social media and in my writing, to be a voice of hope, of wisdom and of peace. I believe with my whole heart that the only way that one can make a lasting difference in the world is through showing kindness rather than through spouting negativity.

Many people have an opinion on Kanye West concerning whether or not his decision to follow Christ is authentic or not. Many people also have a strong opinion on his very public display of faith.

I have read the articles, watched the TV programs and prayed my way through this. I have come to a conclusion based on what I believe to be discernment.

This is my decision: I am team West all the way!

May I just remind you that the apostle Paul was a murderer who met Jesus! Then, this former assassin Paul went on to write nearly half of the New Testament. This historical fact alone serves to remind me that people, regardless of their past, can change when they meet Jesus!

During the first century, many people were cautious about the apostle Paul’s faith, just like some are concerning West’s faith today, but the fruit of Paul’s life and his passion for the gospel proved that he was the real deal. I believe that we will discover the same fruit in West’s life.

One of the aspects that I love about being a Christian for many decades is the exuberance and excitement I see as I observe a newborn Christian grow in their faith. When I see a baby Christian who just can’t keep quiet, it stirs my ardor for Christ once again! When I hear about a brand-new Christian who is passionately telling others about Jesus, it causes me to evaluate who I have told lately.

I am not naïve nor am I foolish; I understand that just like a toddler may stumble and fall, West might make a few stumbles along the way. But so did I. I stumbled and fell often in the early days and years of my faith. But because I had faithful and encouraging people around me, I was able to stand up, dust myself off and move ahead in serving and loving Jesus.

Last week, West went to Baton Rouge and partnered with Bethany Church, pastored by Jonathan Stockstill, for an outdoor event that drew nearly 6,000 people. West personally paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to make this event happen. West wasn’t even the main event at this evangelistic event! West sang for about 20 minutes at the two-hour event. A seasoned pastor preached a biblical message and afterward approximately 1,000 people responded to the call for living a life for Christ and His kingdom.

Hell got smaller that night and heaven got bigger because a man by the name of Kanye West is not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I think that we would all do well to remember the words of Paul, the murderer, who met Jesus on the road to Damascus and then decided to serve Him the remainder of his days:

“Some indeed are preaching Christ out of envy and strife, and some also from good will. The former preach Christ out of contention, not sincerely, intending to add trouble to my circumstance. But the latter preach out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice” (Phil. 1:15-18).

I hope that rather than criticize West that you will pray for him and for his wife and children. I hope that rather than throw stones at a new believer that you will throw grace his way.

I sincerely pray that rather than judging a famous man whose fame has now been sacrificed at the foot of the cross, you will find it in your heart to love him. {eoa}

Thomas Horn believes that, without question, the church has fallen asleep because most of it isn’t convinced the Second Coming of Christ is imminent.

And Horn, a longtime television and radio personality, CEO of SkyWatchTV and author of the book The Wormwood Prophecy, says that is tragic because Revelation 8 prophecy is happening before our very eyes.

“Prophecy is definitely alive,” Horn told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network. “It’s unfolding faster than most of us old preachers could have even imagined 25 years ago.

“From Matthew 24:21, everything that is described is happening on earth right now. Whether it be the spirit of antichrist that is rising up or the Deep State, the hostility toward Israel, earthquakes, natural disasters, everything described by Jesus in Matthew 24 we can see it on parade every single day on TV.

“But history has proven that when the church does not believe the Second Coming of Christ is imminent, they fall asleep. But a sense of urgency is coming. What I saw in a vision was that all over the world, people will fall on their knees, begging God. Churches will fill to overcapacity. What is going to happen will put the nations of the world on their face before God. It’s going to lead to a great awakening and people begging God to deliver them from what is coming. Lift your heads and look up, for redemption draws nigh.”

One of the things I love most about the Bible is that for every verse, or series of verses, there is always more than one thing we can learn. The more you study the more you find.

It is like looking at a beautiful piece of artwork where every angle you look at provides a completely different view of the painting.

One example that I would like to share is found in Genesis 18:1-4 (TLV): “Then Adonai appeared to him at Mamre’s large trees while he was sitting in the entrance of his tent during the heat of the day. When he lifted up his eyes to see, suddenly, three men were standing right by him. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed down to the ground. Then he said, ‘My Lord, if now I have found favor in your eyes, please do not pass by your servant. Please let a little water be brought so you can wash your feet, and make yourselves comfortable under the tree.'”

In order for us to understand these verses in chapter 18, we must first look back to chapter 17. In chapter 17, we read about Abraham entering a covenant with G-D through circumcision. Circumcision, when performed on an 8-day-old baby, is a minor and nearly pain-free procedure. However, as an adult, this is an extremely painful procedure.

In the case of Abraham’s circumcision, he is 99 years old when he is circumcised. Abraham goes through this covenant procedure partially in response to G-D’s promise that he would have a son named Isaac. So, when we begin reading chapter 18, these events take place directly after Abraham’s circumcision.

Jewish tradition says it was three days after. So, as the narrative in chapter 18 begins, Abraham is sitting in his tent recovering from a very painful surgery when he looks up and sees three men coming toward his tent. Abraham sees them, stands up, and then runs to meet them and bows down to the ground to greet them. Imagine the pain that Abraham would have been in while running at that moment.

But Abraham’s pain was not just physical. His pain was also emotional. He had been waiting on the promise of a son for nearly 25 years. He had been faithful to serve G-D for almost 25 years.

Abraham’s promise from G-D is still unfulfilled. Now at 99 years in the middle of entering this new covenant with G-D, G-D once again promises Abraham a son. Only this time, G-D not only promises a son, but He provides a name for the son, Isaac.

Abraham is now 99 and Sarah is 90. They are beyond the age of the natural ability to have children. Imagine if you were in Abraham’s place: too old to have children, yet once again being promised a child. Abraham would be understandably in physical pain from his circumcision, but also in emotional and spiritual pain from longing for this yet unfulfilled promise of a son.

However, in his pain, Abraham not only chooses to serve these three guests, but he runs to do so. Not only does he run to serve, but in his service, he goes above and beyond a minimal level of serving.

He begs the men to stay. He offers a morsel, but provides a feast. He runs to Sarah. He runs to his herd and picks out an ox himself. He runs the ox to his servants so that it could be prepared for the meal.

All of the above takes place at a time when Abraham may have been in the most pain physically, emotionally and spiritually in his life. Yet Abraham jumps up, Abraham runs to serve and Abraham makes sure he gives his very best in his service.

The result of Abraham choosing to serve even in his pain or even through his pain is what we read in Genesis 18:10: “Then He said, ‘I will most surely return to you in about a year’s time, surprisingly, Sarah your wife will have a son.'”

I don’t know about you, but there have been many times in my life when I have been in physical pain when opportunities to serve arose and I got up and met the needs of people. Most of us do not have a great deal of difficulty serving when we are only in physical pain.

The real difficulty for many of us is rising up to serve when we are in emotional or spiritual pain, when we have been hurt emotionally, especially by those we love and are called to serve. Or those times when we, like Abraham, are heartbroken as we wait for a promise from G-D to be fulfilled.

We are even more so when it appears to us that the fulfillment of the promise is now beyond reasonably being fulfilled in the physical.

But it is at these times when we have to make the choice to push past the pain of our hurts and serve anyway. When we do, our choice to serve will reveal the presence of G-D in our life, it will bring us deeper revelation and it will bring us closer to the fulfillment of our promises. {eoa}

While in prayer, the Lord spoke to me prophetically that He is breaking the spirit of delayed blessings. Many people in this season have been facing some high-level hindrance, unseen resistance and unpredictable setbacks especially in the areas of receiving financial breakthrough, provision, resources and help.

One of the challenges that many of His people are facing is the spirit of delay, setback and missed opportunities. This is the season where God says that He is breaking the irregular patterns and exposing the plans of the enemy for breakthrough advancement. In addition, there are some who are encountering shattered hope, broken promises and recurring mishaps or misfortune.

The Bible says in Proverbs 13:12, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.” The Good News Translation renders that verse this way: “When hope is crushed, the heart is crushed, but a wish come true fills you with joy.”

This simply means that it is not the Lord who crushes our hopes or dreams so that He can break our hearts. We have to know that it’s this ancient enemy called the devil. The devil accomplishes it through an invisible force of delays and denials. I love what Galatians 5:7 says, “You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?”

As believers God would not have us ignorant of the enemy’s devices, tactics, strategies and plots against us (Rom. 1:13). If you are going around in circles like a dog chasing its tail, experiencing abrupt interferences, interruptions and distractions, and time and time again feeling that you’re stuck and stagnated, that’s demonic.

Take a look at this passage of Scripture in Daniel 7:25: “He shall speak words against the Most High and shall wear out the saints of the Most High and plan to change times and law. And they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.” You can see that the devil’s whole agenda is to oppress, persecute, drain and attack the believer—speaking of you! While you may be facing some subtle setback in this season, I come to encourage you that you will weather the storm and that through patience it will work your faith and your faith will work patience in you.

Keep in mind that there are divine delays and demonic delays: A divine delay is when God says no, not yet or wait. He uses it for the purpose of divine and spiritual growth, maturity, development, and protection, and for the right season and timing. A demonic delay is when you go round and round in circles and can’t seem to break out of a particular loop. The forces of demonic delay and denial may have been forged against you.

I am reminded of the story of the prophet Daniel and the Prince of Persia in Daniel 10 where it gives a precise, clear picture of the invisible struggle between the forces of good and evil. Daniel had prayed and an angel was dispatched to bring his request from the very first day he started to pray. However, a demon referred to as the prince of Persia waylaid the angel and engaged him in intense spiritual warfare. There are demonic entities or forces that monitor particular territories and places.

In Daniel’s day these evil spirits’ mission and assignment was to delay and deny Daniel’s prayers from being answered. The enemy will do everything he can to stop your breakthrough blessings from coming to you or those you are interceding on behalf of. Think about it for a moment: How many times have you personally faced some sudden delays and even outright denials or closed doors, missed opportunities and rejections that we attribute to the making of God, when in reality, they were the making of demonic powers?

Can you imagined if Daniel stopped praying on the 15th day of his petition? He probably may not have ever received the answer to his prayer. It was his persistence in prayer that superimposed the enemy’s plans and activated the power of God for his spiritual victory over the forces projected to delay, stop or deny his breakthrough blessings.

Here’s the point: Satanic delays are solely purposed at denying you access to answers to your prayers. That’s when delays can become denials. God wants you to target the areas in your life that you are frustrated the most and partner with heaven to see your breakthrough come through in the earth (in your life). God desires to bless you, but your money and increase is not in heaven. There are no brick-and-mortar banks in heaven. All the monies you’ll ever need or want are here and now on earth.

If you’re always getting frustrated financially, then it’s time you learn how to command, decree, summon and speak to your finances and blessings to manifest, show up and call forth hidden treasures, riches stashed away in secret places that is your portion in Jesus’ name (Isa. 45:3). I decree and declare that the power of delayed blessings and demonic cycles are broken off your life today in Jesus’ name! As you do a spiritual assessment and audit, if you’re finding yourself in the same spot for long, extended periods of time, my friend, that’s not God. The forces of delay and denial are solely responsible for it. Today God wants you to muster up enough of Holy Spirit’s power to release prayer bullets against these powers of hell against your life and blessings.

One of the things I have realized in my own life is that the spirit of delayed blessings comes to hinder God’s people from ever entering his/her destiny at the appropriate or set time despite the effort and labor we put in. Moreover, believers who suffer from this pestering spirit oftentimes spend unnecessary wasted time trying to get what others normally receive rather quickly and easily. Unfortunately, for some, they work tirelessly and receive little or nothing. Or work so hard and do overtime to never get anything in return.

By the time they eventually get it, all the excitement of such achievement would have already left. As you pray today, God will shatter once and for all the yoke of this delayed spirit in your life and you shall enter a place of destiny unhindered. The apostle Paul understood who was behind the spirit of delay: “Therefore we wished to come to you—even I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us” (1 Thess. 2:18). Paul discerned what he wanted to do was God’s will. However, the devil raised several oppositions and blocked Paul several times.

There are many people who are stuck at one place currently and have lost the boldness to venture out again to start their dreams because they have faced so many disappointments, setbacks, delays and unexpected blockages from the enemy. Because of this many of you have wondered if you made the right decision in the first place.

Again, it was the demonic forces of delay and denial that were at work in the unseen against you. Fight back in prayer and go on the offensive against these powers, and then move into God’s dream for your life. Daniel met demonic resistance with supernatural persistence and received his breakthrough answer and blessing in 21 days. {eoa}

After enduring three miscarriages within a year, Julia Jeffress Sadler wasn’t the least bit surprised when her doctor told her she was pregnant with triplets. After all the pain and emotional distress she and her husband had been through, she came to the realization that God is not only the God of the impossible, but a God that makes big things happen.

However, she also discovered that it was up to her and her husband to petition God for the extraordinary. It was then they learned how to pray bold prayers and expect big things, and it was then that Blake, Barrett and Blair were born.

Jeffress Sadler is the daughter of Robert Jeffress, lead pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas. She and her husband, Ryan, struggled through infertility until the birth of their triplets in 2017.

“Until (the three miscarriages), we really didn’t have any reason to think anything was wrong,” Jeffress Sadler told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network. “My parents told us we needed a way to have kids, and they have been right about everything so far. And so we decided to follow their advice.

“After losing so many pregnancies in less than a year, we began praying super specifically for multiples, three children, and leaned on Ephesians 3:20, which says God gives you more than anything you can hope for or imagine. People expect me to say we were surprised when we found out we were having triplets. We really weren’t. I just remember thinking, ‘That’s my God. That’s what He does.’ And it was just amazing.

“When you pray for big things, I encourage you to look at what Scripture says. Handling big prayer is something only God can do. What do you want for your family, your career or your ministry? Pray accordingly. The book of James says we have not because we ask not. So, we need to take time to ask God for our heart’s desires and those things that are really important to us.”
