Spirit-Filled Evangelist: ‘What I See Is a National Awakening’

“In the past, we’ve had several awakenings where the entire nation suddenly started shifting,” Pastor David Herzog says. “I’m not talking about a revival here or there like Pensacola or Toronto. That’s not what I see coming. What I see is a national awakening.”

Fresh from “an amazing experience” at The Send in Orlando in February, Herzog, in full-time ministry since 1991, told “Charisma Connection” on the Charisma Podcast Network that America is on the cusp of a massive wave of evangelism that will soon shake the country to its core.

Herzog says the awakening he foresees differs from pockets of revival scattered throughout the country. He envisions a Great Awakening for Christ like George Whitefield led in the 1700s, sparked by the prayer and fasting of throngs of believers hungry for a great move of God.

“When I study history of the great awakenings and the movements of God in the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s, these were preceded by massive prayer movements and many, many people fasting. I’m seeing more and more of both, more than I’ve ever seen in my life. Something is about to happen. Suddenly, evangelism is going bonkers.”

Herzog says he also sees evangelism “coming back full circle,” and the emergence of more apostolic pastors than ever before.

Former Presidential Candidate Carly Fiorina: ‘God Wants You to Have a Path, Not a Plan’

The one time former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina devised a plan for her life, it failed miserably. And she isn’t talking about her 2016 presidential run.

“The only plan I ever had was to be a lawyer,” she says. “And that didn’t work well. I dropped out of law school.”

Instead, Fiorina followed a path she says God laid out for her, a path that took her to the top of the business world. That path—and her faith in Jesus Christ—helped her endure breast cancer and a double mastectomy in 2009 as well as the death of her stepdaughter, who battled chemical dependency issues.

Most people think they need a plan for their life,” Fiorina told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network. Instead of focusing on a specific destination, however, she offers a better way.

“What I’ve learned is if you can stay on a path, a path of personal behavior, a path of seeing the possibilities in the people and circumstances around you, a path of looking to solve problems and a path to change the order of things for the better, opportunity will knock for you and God will direct that path. Opportunity always knocks.

“If you are on a path instead of a plan, then when opportunity does knock you can have the courage to walk through the door instead of saying no.”

Man Who Sees Angels and Demons: ‘You Are Good Enough for God’

Have you ever wondered if you are good enough for God? Blake Healy, the director of Bethel Atlanta’s School of Supernatural Ministry, used to.

Growing up as a pastor’s and missionary’s kid, Healy says, “I would hear these testimonies from people who had been addicted to drugs, or in jail, these extreme testimonies where Jesus just met them there and their whole life was transformed,” he tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network. “It may seem silly, but I had this feeling of inadequacy because my testimony is kind of boring.”

But the Holy Spirit spoke to Healy in a clear voice and said, “The measure of your testimony is not how far [away] you were on your journey back to Me. The measure of your testimony is the magnitude of the love I have for you.”

Known for his gift of seeing in the Spirit, Healy has been teaching at Bethel Atlanta for 10 years.

“The most painful, the most challenging thing that I see is just how much of God’s goodness is released on God’s people and how much of that goodness remains on the table, unclaimed or not picked up, because we don’t know or don’t believe that it’s intended for us,” Healy says.

Listen to the podcast to hear more about how a genuine understanding of God’s love can help you move fully in the gifts and anointing God intends for your life.




God Invades Notorious Bike Week in Daytona

“We’re out here just praying for people and handing out Scripture, and God is doing some amazing things.”

A biker himself, Jim Pitman recognizes a ripe mission field when he sees one. And during Bike Week in Daytona Beach, Florida—with a notorious reputation for raucous behavior and debauchery—Pitman and his team are doing some serious damage to Satan’s playground.

The director of CLC Multi-language Media in Pennsylvania, Pitman partnered with Biker Church Europe—a network of Christian motorcycle clubs and associations that distributes the Biker Bible and wants to reach all of Europe with God’s Word—to distribute Bibles and spread the gospel to thousands of bikers in town for the annual event.

Biker Church Europe has sent individuals from countries like Sweden, Norway, Finland and Poland to help Pitman witness to the lost.

And they are making an impact. As of Thursday, the group had distributed more than 15,000 Bibles in what is usually one of the biggest party atmospheres in the country.

“It’s been amazing. We’ve seen a multitude of people get saved,” said Pitman, whose company distributes Bibles in almost 100 languages. “God has been giving us great opportunities. Biker Church Europe has been praying for years to be able to send people to Daytona for Bike Week.

“Motorcyclists have kind of their own culture. They are a group of people who are loyal to their country and are all about freedom, but very few of them actually have true freedom in Christ. They come together here to rally, and some just to get drunk. But we’ve had a lot of people pass by and actually stop and ask us to pray for them.”

Why the Hannah Anointing Is Exactly What You Need Right Now

When God makes you wait on the deliverance of a specific promise, a spirit of resiliency is born. Few knew that better than the biblical heroine, Hannah.

Despite many challenges and setbacks in her life, including a lengthy bout with infertility, Hannah never gave up hope that God would hear her prayers, and she never complained. Eventually, God blessed her with a son, Samuel, and she had five more children after.

Hannah’s perseverance, author Michelle McClain Walters says, is a character trait we should all aspire to develop, and one that will eventually become a huge blessing in the lives of people who do. It’s one of the reasons she wrote the book, The Hannah Anointing.

“Writing this book really opened my heart and my mind about waiting on the Lord and being a chosen vessel,” McClain Walters told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network. “Sometimes we don’t understand what we’re going through. We may see people around us prospering, and the spirits of jealousy and envy attack us. But Hannah gave us a great picture even in the face of not having the fruitfulness she desired. She never gave up and she saw the fulfillment of the promise.

“I’m excited about how Hannah gave us a great example; that if we would just hold on to the truth that God is with us and that God has a plan and purpose for us, we will see a fruit that will outlive us.”

How to Understand Exactly What Holy Spirit Is Saying

It took a poignant question from her pastor on Sunday morning to bring Billie Jauss to a disheartening revelation.

As a writer, speaker, wife of a Major League baseball coach and mother of three sons, Jauss got so caught up in her busy life that she forgot to make a deeper connection with Jesus every day. She read her Bible regularly, attended Bible studies and wrote articles for the benefit of believers, but it all left a void.

“I thought I was getting it all done and still staying close to the Lord until I sat in church and heard my pastor ask us, ‘What is God doing in and through you?'” Jauss told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network. “I felt like God smacked me upside the head. I mean, my spirit started squirming. I was doing all the good God things, but not doing God’s best things.”

In her book Making Room: Doing Less so God Can do More, Jauss chronicles her journey, which she calls “a spiritual rinsing with a power washer.” Here, God stripped distractions out of her life to make room for the Holy Spirit to move in her and do the work He intended for her.

“I always volunteered for a lot of things, things I shouldn’t have, because that’s how I got lost in doing just good things for God rather than waiting patiently and listening to Him, understanding His will and doing His best things,” Jauss says.

Robert Jeffress: How You Can Live an Extraordinary Life

Many believers crave an extraordinary life, but they don’t live it. They long to discover a greater purpose, yet they don’t know how.

Pastor Robert Jeffress says God not only wants us to live a fulfilling life, but He has provided us a road map for doing so. Drawing from the biblical account of the prophet Elijah, the senior pastor of First Baptist Dallas finds seven secrets that will help people live lives of significance, satisfaction and success.

Jeffress says we are no different from Elijah. The prophet had the same passions and the same problems, the same moments of disobedience and discouragement. Yet God used him in an extraordinary way, and He can do the same for you.

“There is a unique reason God created you,” Jeffress told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent edition of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network. “He saved you and set you apart for His service. …. Success is finding God’s will for yourself and doing it. I believe that’s really what an extraordinary life is all about.”

Listen to the podcast below for more about how you can live an extraordinary life.




The ‘Spiritual Tsunami’ That Can Help Reach 1 Billion People With the Gospel

“As believers, we have the greatest message on earth. … And Jesus says that we have to go.” So says Werner Nachtigal, international president of Global Outreach Day.

Nachtigal, who has trained over a million people to share their faith, says, “”I believe if every believer is a witness, we can reach the world,” says Nachtigal.

His organization’s main goal is to mobilize 100 million Christians to pray and share the gospel in an initiative called Go 2020, scheduled for May of that year. Nachtigal calls the potential result a “spiritual tsunami.”

With the motto of “Every Believer Is a Witness,” Nachtigal says Go2020 also hopes to see 1 million new churches and faith communities planted, and for 20 million new believers to be discipled and integrated into existing and new churches.

“We have over a billion Christians on this planet. What would happen if everybody shares his faith?” Nachtigal says. “We are asking every believer during that month to reach at least one person. If Christians knew how easy it is to talk to people about Jesus … it’s the greatest message ever.”

Nachtigal encourages those interested in Go 2020 to participate in the annual Global Outreach Day. Spearheaded by Nachtigal and initiated in 2012, this year’s evangelism effort is set for May 25. Click here to find out how to participate.

EXCLUSIVE: The Truth About Why John Allen Chau Set Out for North Sentinel Island

When five young missionaries were brutally murdered on an Ecuadorian beach in January 1956, headlines blared. Millions mourned. And believers worldwide recognized the newest generation of martyrs.

When 26-year-old missionary John Allen Chau met a similar fate on a remote beach on North Sentinel Island in November 2018, the internet exploded. Controversy swirled. And believers worldwide wondered: Was Chau a martyr—or a careless young man caught up in misguided heroics?

In this exclusive episode of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network, Dr. Steve Greene presents an insider’s view of this tragic yet triumphant story.

Learn about John Chau from missionary colleagues, college professors and others who knew him well. Hear insights from missiologists along with the personal history behind his determination to reach, as Oral Roberts University President Dr. Billy Wilson says, “what he thought was the most isolated people group in the world related to the gospel of Jesus.”

“John was just taking the Great Commission very seriously,” says David Shibley, founder of Global Advance. “Young people are impassioned by a sense of injustice. And I think the greatest injustice is that a person can live on this planet and not hear the gospel.

“The most basic of all human rights is the right to hear the gospel, the right to know that God loves these people and that Christ died for them. I honor the life of John Chau,” Shibley says. “We need to remember our Lord’s promise. In Revelation 2:10, Jesus said, ‘Be faithful unto death and I will give to you a crown of life.’ I’m very confident that John Chau receives that crown.”

Listen to Chau’s compelling story at the link below and prepare to find yourself challenged and inspired by his life, death and passion for the lost. (For the entire transcript of the John Allen Chau podcast, click here.)




Randy Clark’s Most Critical Kingdom Task

A few years ago, the board of directors of Global Awakening asked Randy Clark a simple question: What do you think is the most important thing of everything you’re doing?

Considering his vast work for the kingdom, the choice might have proven difficult, but it wasn’t.

The overseer of the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening, best known for his work at the Toronto Blessing, Clark says it all comes down to one thing: impartation of the gifts of the Spirit within the body of Christ. He’s been doing it for years, and he has seen the great fruits of his labor with his students from his Global School of Supernatural Ministry spread throughout the globe.

“It’s such an honor to sow into these young guys and young women, helping them just to become all that God has for them,” Clark told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent edition of “Greenelines” on the Charisma Podcast Network. “I think the most important thing I have to do the rest of my life is to raise up more young men and women who move in this anointing and to mentor them.”

“Everything we try to do, we ask, ‘Is this going to equip the saints for the work of ministry?” Clark says. He wants to ensure “that what God has done with me continues through the sons and daughters who have the values I have, who have the same value for the whole church, love the church and will themselves equip the saints to raise up servant leaders who impart the gifts of the Holy Spirit to others.”

Clark has trained people such as Will Hart, CEO of Heidi Baker’s Iris Ministries. He has trained prophetic ministers like Jamie Galloway and Justin Allen, who themselves have built large global ministries. He even trained missionary Pastor Andrew Brunson, recently released from years of persecution in Turkey. Clark has also written a new book called Eyewitness to Miracle, in which he chronicles the supernatural events he has personally witnessed in his ministry.
