While we need to fully affirm the wild and bizarre activity of the Holy Spirit in the church, we need to learn how to stop acting out in foolish, outlandish and unnecessary ways in the name of God. 

If you are resistant to revival, the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, to groans of the Spirit and tongues of fire and to an atmosphere of desperation, depth, freedom and extreme hunger, and your church is attempting to pursue and affirm these things…just leave. Disappear.

Stop being an irritant and a pain to the pastor you are supposed to be honoring and supporting. Quit with your manipulation, control and witchcraft. Stop presuming your opinions and insights are so important and that your voice must be heeded. You are hindering the Holy Spirit and those who are passionate about Jesus. 

The enemy is using you and you need to either move on or repent in tears. I can't imagine being the one that stood in the way of a move of God. Grieving the Holy Spirit is a serious violation and I pray the fear of the Lord grips you.

What happened to the supernatural church? When we go deep in prayer and the prophetic and as we advance in our assignments, we absolutely will invade the darkness and see the spiritual realm manifest.

Listen as John shares a dramatic supernatural story that gives clarity as to why this is so important for Christians today.

I was moved to tears during this podcast as I read an email about the legacy and impact we had in one of our assignments in Manitou Springs, Colorado. This message will encourage you and set you free from the lie that you must be ever growing and developing in order to be successful. Much of what you do will never be noticed by others and the impact may not be felt for years or generations. It's valuable though and it's your obedience that counts.

"So, you've never sinned?"

That's the snarky question people ask when Christians, who are promoting holiness in the fear of the Lord, scrutinize immorality in other Believers. 

How should we handle it when others sin? What about when a Christ-professing leader sins publicly without repentance? Should we remain silent? What about Christians who support abortion and homosexual rights? We can say nothing because we too have sinned in the past?

John tears apart this ridiculous defense and calls people to be more interested in God and holiness than they are in supporting others.

Many are working hard to attract the wrong crowd on Sunday—and the result is an Ichabod church.

I've met countless pastors and others who say they are focused on revival, but who are misguided on exactly what it is. Their focus is on attracting people to the church, on people getting “saved” and on other church growth strategies.

The problem? The foundational pursuit of revival has nothing to do with church growth or the lost. It has everything to do with the church awakening, contending in intercession and attracting the fire of the Holy Spirit.

The lost didn't show up in the Upper Room. Marginal followers of Jesus were repelled by the Upper Room.

This is a must listen! Where is the fear of the Lord in the church today? People have been duped and deceived into believing that sin has no eternal consequence in the lives of Believers. They reject the ideas of sin consciousness and behavior modification. They presume intimacy with Jesus and the grace of God are sufficient to keep them free. It's not true.

People are crying out for a church on fire, and it's time to transition the tired old wine skin out as God prepares us for a saturating, explosive outpouring. John shares clear steps on how the Sunday service can become a furnace of revival.

It's disturbing when professing Christians are turning a blind eye to serious failures by our President, who claims to be a Christian.

We can pray for him, love him, support him and believe that he's God's man of the hour without also affirming immorality and inappropriate speech.

Pastors today are giving in to the demands of the people out of fear of losing their position, finances, their members and their churches...instead of trusting Jesus and offending the crowd.
