You know everything about yourself: your personality, your intellect, your physical body, your history. Everything about you is perfectly designed for obedience, and disobedience violates that design. Both favor and trial drive us somewhere; it’s [...]

Wow, good morning! By the way, that album is an instrumental album. The Tibetan music was another great video. The album is amazing; I just bought it this week. I bought Kanye’s «Closed on Sunday.» That’s me right there! It’s something you have to [...]

There we go. Well, good morning! Nice to see you. It is still morning. You know when you are dead, you do not know you’re dead; all the pain is felt by others. The same thing happens when you’re stupid. That was good! The Flat Earth Society has [...]

Welcome to God of Revival. This is the album that Bethel Music released not too long ago. We had planned to unveil this series, and then this pandemic hit, so we delayed a little bit because we felt we obviously needed to speak into that issue. I am [...]

There's the challenge we face in our line: I can't allow a question I have, stemming from an unfulfilled dream, confusion, pain, or loss, to dislodge what I do understand. What do I understand? I understand that God is good. I can't [...]

So we enter gates with Thanksgiving; we enter the courts. Courts come into the actual presence. If you go through that Psalm, you will see in the following descriptions of what to do in the actual presence of that king, and there's that [...]

Can you see the challenge that the enemy tries to bring into our lives? What does he try to do? He tries to either overwhelm me with the size of a problem, causing me to lose my awareness of God's promise and God's presence. I become [...]

Hebrews says that God is the same; Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Here’s something that became really important to me a number of years ago: to catch these two phrases in Scripture, “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and [...]

So our inheritance is the full record of God's interventions and activities among people. That's your inheritance. What is it good for? It helps to bring about victory. Why? Because it engages me not only with God's history with men [...]

I'm sure this has happened to you, where you're in a situation and you can't see any farther than the hand in front of you. You don't remember anything that God has ever done in your life, and that's when the spirit of [...]

When we're in a season of difficulty, it challenges our faith and staying encouraged. In those seasons, we have to choose to live with self-imposed restrictions. Let me try to illustrate: you may have a very active life—most of us do. We have [...]

There is a potential downfall to living in a miracle culture. Come back tomorrow, and I'll tell you what it is. I'm sure there’s a possible downfall, and that downfall is this: people will sometimes avoid the process God has created [...]

We thank you for the cars. One of the things that I've noticed in those who work hard to develop a faith culture is that they unintentionally begin to live in denial. They pretend that certain problems or challenges, or things that are out of [...]

Happy Easter Resurrection Sunday! My goodness, Paul kind of summarized the whole thing about resurrection. He said if there’s no resurrection, then we’re still in our sins. If there’s no resurrection, he went on to say, we are the people who are [...]

How is it possible to host the presence of a person so profoundly that they can take articles of clothing away from you, lay them on a diseased or tormented person, and see them well? It’s not hocus-pocus; it's not some conjuring up of a belief [...]

Romans chapter 12 is the cornerstone passage on the renewed mind. Jesus, of course, illustrates the renewed mind. I don't know if you have ever made a list of how different His way of thinking is from ours, but we are not close. What I've [...]

Romans 8:28, as a verse, is one that most of us can quote: "All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose." It doesn't mean all things fall under His design; it just means He's [...]

I don’t think it’s possible for us to come into God’s intended destiny for us without learning how to navigate disappointment, loss, and destruction—those kinds of horrible things. David is a great example. Before he became king, he was sought after [...]

This is a unique way to bring the Word to you. It’s a great privilege to do so, and I’m thankful for technology, which makes up for all the things we couldn’t do in the past. We get to touch many homes this way, and I’m really glad. Several years [...]

Man, what an amazing selection of songs! I was about to get lost in that «Blessing» song. That song was just written, by the way; if you don’t know it, it’s by Steve Verdick and Carrie Joven, and the husband and the funk, Cody and a bunch of [...]

Yeah, it’s nice to see you! I’m glad you guys showed up. It’s been a real full week. My wife has written a new book that will be out later this year, probably in November; I lose track of time. It’s about health, and I have strong convictions about [...]

All right, I’ll give thanks. Okay, thank you, thank you. Sorry, still have gum in my mouth. Careless, sorry. Well, good morning! It’s still morning; there are 27 minutes left of morning. The drought is over; thank you, Jesus! I mean, it’s really [...]

By the way, Eric and Candace send their love. They were back in Austin, Texas. Yes, yes, yes—the nation of Texas, we honor you! They were there having a meeting with the leaders of the several Bethel churches that we have around the country and [...]

It’s so extraordinary to see how miracles affect people. What I wanted to talk to you, tonight, about was the biblical mandate for miracles. There’s a distortion in the reading of scripture, and I’ll just give you one example here, if you’ll just [...]

You know, in Psalms 37, he talks about waiting on and that word, actually, for «Waiting», actually means to lie in wait. It gives the picture of setting up an ambush. It’s not this sitting-in-a-recliner waiting. It’s not inactivity. Waiting isn’t [...]

The Lord has positioned everybody in this room to reign in life. But reigning in life doesn’t mean you rule over people: it means you reign in life. It means that money doesn’t it means relationships don’t manipulate and control you, but you [...]

People will often say, «I just don’t hear his voice, but I feel his peace». In John 1:14, it says of Jesus: he is the Word of God made flesh. Anytime you sense presence, the word is there. It may not have touched your intellect, but it is touching [...]

So, we see, in verse 33: «And with great power, the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all». Let me make a comment here. Miracles are necessary for two basic reasons. One, it is impossible to [...]

Beautiful. Thank you. I feel like I, by the grace of the Holy Spirit, I found the needle in the haystack. I found something that I never knew if it existed. I had hoped that it did. I had believed that it could. But I couldn’t ever remember finding [...]

I want you to go to and, what I wanna do is today I’m gonna use the Christmas theme to indicate what I believe is a season, I don’t know if I can call it a season change, if it’s something that God is accelerating, I don’t know. But, there’s [...]

I want you to go to one of the most significant truths to really be embraced and taught on in the last 20 plus years has been the whole concept of impartation. But, what’s kind of humorous to, just forgive me for my sense of humor, again, but what’s [...]

For years, we’ve been praying for people, all of us together, praying for the Father’s blessing. In fact, I was just with John Arnott this week. And, of course, he was here a month ago. And the Toronto Blessing, the Toronto outpouring, it was titled [...]

In Luke, chapter 8. And I’ve talked on this a I was just with the crones, here, which I loved going down there this last weekend. I talked about this, there, so forgive me for repeat, but, this is what’s been on my heart of late. So, Luke 8. And [...]

In Mark 14 is a story of Jesus walking on water. And I look at this story, oftentimes, and think it’s amusing and funny, because Jesus is walking on the water and the disciples are terrified. And then, Jesus says, «Don’t be afraid,» which seems to [...]

To not value holiness is to not value presence. Healing is an expression of his holiness. Sickness is to my body what sin is to my soul. We pray for the sick because we want Jesus to get what he paid for. So, I’m gonna take just a few minutes to [...]

Romans 8 could probably be a book of the Bible by itself. Maybe you could say that for every chapter, but, some chapters are very dependent on what precedes it, what follows. Romans 8 is just this, I don’t know, it’s just a complete package. Chapter [...]

Grab your Bibles, if you would, and open to Psalms 16, the 16th Psalm. And I’m gonna do something a little bit different today in that I wanna take a Psalm and actually read through verse by verse and talk. I do have a specific theme that we’ll [...]

The challenge of our faith is our willingness to hear other voices. And instead of emphasizing our inability or our weakness in hearing God’s voice, it would be wiser for us to emphasize his ability to be heard. The challenge with our faith is not [...]

All right, grab your Bibles and open to Mark 9. Mark 9. Most popular teachings in the church are teachings that are in reaction to an error or to a truth taken to an extreme. And whenever we react to an error, we’re prone to create another error. [...]

We’re going to read a prayer and it’s a verse that goodness, I don’t know. I bring it up often. I think a lot of our team brings this particular passage up often. It’s about prosperity of soul. It’s a fairly common passage. And rightfully so. It’s a [...]

Numbers 11. Let’s get into the word, here. We’re gonna read a number of verses, here. Verse 24: «So, Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord, and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the [...]

Today, I wanna look at one part of the Christmas story that always impacts me. The only thing I don’t like about Christmas is that we tend to look at scriptures or sing songs that we only do like one time a year. And for the believer, these themes [...]

John, chapter 20. This chapter is on the resurrection of Jesus, who the Bible calls the firstborn of the dead, which is really interesting because he raised other people from the dead but their resurrection was temporary because they would face [...]

What I did about probably two or three years ago now was to try to identify: what are the Cornerstones of thought for us that shape our life? What are the things that are the most significant pillars of truth? To be pillars would be like the legs of [...]

So, seeing momentum is to give us a sense of identity in history. None of us lives unto himself. Whenever I compromise, if I say no to his purposes in my life, not only does it affect me, it affects the generations after me because I am robbing them [...]

God extended himself to all of humanity and there was rejection after rejection after rejection. We see the flood as a result of the rejection, God isolating one family with Noah, raising up a new kind of people, perhaps, people that might come from [...]
