More quotes by John Bevere
God is waiting to satisfy us, yet His goodness will not satisfy us if we are already full of other things.
John Bevere
True honor is an outflow from a heart that fears God.
John Bevere
Simply put, the promises of God are not automatic they must be acquired by faith.
John Bevere
What we say in private we must be willing to say with a heart burning with love and honor before the face of our leaders. If not, we will poison our spirits and it will manifest in the presence of our leaders.
John Bevere
This truth remains: Only those you care about can hurt you. You expect more from them-after all, you've given more of yourself to them. The higher the expectations, the greater the fall.
John Bevere
We must always keep in mind all legitimate authority is from God, and is given for protection, provision, and peace.
John Bevere
An offended heart is the breeding ground of deception.
John Bevere
Grace gives us the power to live, and mercy keeps us free from guilt, condemnation, and shame.
John Bevere
God doesn't author hardship but uses it to strengthen us for greater conquests. He never leads us into a storm that He doesn't give us the power to overcome.
John Bevere
Offended people still may experience miracles, words of utterance, strong preaching, and healing in their lives. But these are gifts of the Spirit, not fruits. We will be judged according to fruit, not gifting. A gift is given. Fruit is cultivated.
John Bevere
Do not be afraid to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal any unforgiveness or bitterness. The longer you hide it, the stronger it will become and the harder your heart will grow. Stay tenderhearted.
John Bevere
The man or woman who doesn't forgive has forgotten the price that Christ paid for them on the Cross.
John Bevere
God is seeking those who hear His call to a life of worship. Those who heed are those who will walk in His presence. They will know Him intimately as He will manifest Himself to them.
John Bevere
True humility is absolute obedience and dependence on God. It puts Him first, others second, and ourselves third in all things.
John Bevere
Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
John Bevere
Just as Jesus learned obedience by the things He suffered, we learn obedience by the difficult circumstances we face. When we obey the Word of God that is spoken by the Holy Spirit, we will grow and mature in the times of conflict and suffering. Our knowledge of Scripture is not the key. Obedience is.
John Bevere
We don't want to merely obey God: we need to catch His heart. It is then we will glimpse the wisdom behind His directives, and not just see them as laws.
John Bevere
There is no other way to know good from evil, right from wrong, unless we have His Word dwelling richly in our heart. It's good for us to spend time in His Word.
John Bevere
Love forgets wrongs so that there is hope for the future.
John Bevere
I say that trials and tests locate a person. In other words they determine where you are spiritually. They reveal the true condition of your heart. How you react under pressure is how the real you reacts.
John Bevere
