What are You Pursing? Promise or Presence? | Lesson 3 of Drawing Near | Study with John Bevere 

Pastor John. I just want to thank you for the work that you are doing and say that it has had a tremendous impact on my life. I am a 21 year old man raised a Christian and walked with the Lord my whole life but I never had or prioritized having a true intimate with Jesus. I always testified about him and the Lord has done GREAT MIRACLES in my life but somehow it always just stopped there and never really went much deeper than that. Furthermore, I always had a battle fighting pornography and lust and it greatly negatively affected my life. It wasn't until I watched your entire course on defeating lust that I realised that it was not all about me but about how my sin was hurting my Saviour and Father in heaven which totally broke my heart and still does when I think about it. This led me to see how selfish I actually was and that my focus was not truly set onto loving and getting to know Jesus intimately. Thanks to your course on lust, I am truly no longer the same person inside and my focus is now no longer on doing my own will but to get to know Jesus deeply. As a result, I am truly disgusted by sin and I feel repelled by anything that would break my fellowship and intimacy with Jesus. Simply changing the approach from worrying about myself to actually worrying about getting to know Jesus has changed my life forever and I look forward to growing with getting to know Jesus in his word and in my prayer time with him. I can truly testify and say that the Holy Spirit is 100% working through all your videos because it is leading me to Christ. May God Bless you.

Thank you Jesus for your salvation. We wait .

I nearly became a victim of my own demise the other day, but God stopped it! Then I heard this msg from Bishop and it sent chills down my spine as I realized the Lord was speaking directly to me through Bishop. Its scary actually when you know exactly what you have to do and all you need to do is have the courage and wisdom to do it! Father give me strength, break these chains! Amen!

We've been in an era for roughly the past 40 years of being an information driven church rather than an encounter based church. We don't present salvation properly, then our church services are do this thing to hurry to get on to the next thing so we can get out on time. No corporate pursuit of the presence.

I m known about the different of 2 groups so ready for the Ander 's workshop and all Amen 🙏

I love the simplicity of this teaching,i can't imagine what effect it would've had, had it beeb taught by a legalistic and religious person. It makes me want to spend more time with my heavenly Father whom I know loves me and wants me in His presence more than I want to be. 🙌

Oh thank you jesus

Wow, I want the Lord's presence before the promises 🙏

God, I'm scared of you! You are even now delivering your people. I see you o holy one of Israel.

Thank you Pastor John for keeping each of the lesson less than 30 mins, personally it helps me to focus and revisit the lesson. Being blessed!

John you have your place in the body of Christ. I bless God for the gift that you are to the body. Thank you for saying yes to the call and for teaching the whole counsel of God.

Thank you Pst John, for teaching us God's people what it really means to serve God in Spirit and in Truth ❤

so good Pastor John!! thank you 🤍

This word came in time

Thank You for this. Seeking more of His Presence & letting YWH have his Way in me. His Way Not my way

Lord keep my heart passionate for you ever for we were made to love and enjoy you forever!

THANK YOU PASTOR John!! You are so blessed and highly favour by God Almighty 🙏 🙌 ✨️

ooo can't wait for the next video! Coincidentally Pastor, i was studying Exodus and now this puts a fresh perspective over the scriptures, so good! Thank you Holy Spirit and thank you, Pastor for your obedience ❤ God bless you abundantly! love from India-

I love this teaching soooooo much 😩🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I have never experienced His presence before. Yet, I still believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ. He died for me because of my sins, He was buried in the tomb of Joseph, and three days later He resurrected from the dead for our justification all fulfilling hundreds of scriptures. That’s true and the greatest event in history if I experience His manifest presence or if I don’t. My experiences don’t change the sure word of prophecy.

It was such a blessing to hear this man of God speak, an inspiration to so many and a true man of God that stands for truth in the midst of any storm, God bless you Pastor Bevere and thank you so much for your faithfulness to the one true God!

Does that matter than go without the Holy Spirit now. This is that relationship. We must be ready for helping others. Praise him all people!

Thank you Pastor John.

Than kyou so much Servant of God Most High

Ohhh Jesus what a beautiful message from you Pastor just before to came to the part about Enoch walking in the garden with God I started to cry and I heard Him said .. hold my hand and walk with me ..

Thank you brother 😁🙏 for making this message possible I think this is interesting to talk about this

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

❤❤

Great teaching my Brother

Thank you pastor

....to be honest, all I've been doing is getting myself more and more confused listening to 1,000 sermons this past two years. I think I will just pray for God's presence and let God decide what he wants me to learn. Sorry

❤

Amen!

Thanks you

I learned so much

Receiving the promises He has made without the presence of God is exactly like a child getting his dream bicycle, but his parents are going to drop him in the orphanage centre.

Great msg

Thank you for the pure Word of God.

Amennnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The promise is his presence.

Amen thanks but their still fighting about this tuff

John: my biggest question is that I had an intimate relationship that was constant and beautiful. Yet in college I sinned and that relationship dwindled. I am very old now and for 10 years have done nothing but saught that relationship. Is it impossible to get it back?

❤❤❤

Before I was listening to this I was tryna meditating on the story of Moises hehehehe

So don't worry 😊 Daniel of my guruji 💕😭 means Ander pyareee David's show's 😂

God bless you pastor John! Did you mean "What are you PURSUING..." in the title of the video?

I am vietnamese

So offering up suffering to Christ as a sacrifice of your ego is a nono? Entering into His suffering with yours is not being biblical?

Are you really a true follower if you seek for the blessing?

😭

People are still tickle

I don't want nothing and I sure as hell don't need a anymore tounge lashings from people I don't know ..

I'm not pursing anything
