Discover Your Spiritual Identity with Mike Shreve

Every believer has a calling! This status is not just reserved for some “elite group” in the body of Christ. The moment you were saved, you became one of God’s called ones. He planted the seed of a purpose in your heart. It is up to you to water that seed (that calling) and make it grow into full fruitfulness. And one other thing—don’t be a carbon copy! Be an original! Find and follow God’s divine...

What does the mysterious word “Zion” mean and why are God’s people referred to as “Zion’s Converts” in Isaiah 1:27? Also, have you ever noticed the powerful pattern—how human beings who go through a true conversion then become God’s agents of influence to convert others? In other words, we become “contagious converts”! Let’s go for it!!! This will really help you! www.shreveministries.org

The name “converts” only appears one time in the Bible for God’s people (Isaiah 1:27). However, the revelation attached to that name is deep, awe inspiring and powerful. True believers are in the process of being “converted” from fallen human beings into fully liberated, resurrected, glorified sons of God. This is truly a miraculous metamorphosis. www.shreveministries.org

Fourteen awe-inspiring rewards are promised to overcomers in the book of the Revelation. On this episode we will examine the last seven: mysteries like “white garments” and “the book of life” to the incredible promise of “inheriting all things,” including the right to share the throne of God. You will awed by this utterly spectacular revelation. www.shreveministries.org

Fourteen awe-inspiring rewards are promised to overcomers in the book of the Revelation—taking us from the tree of life to the very throne of God. The revelation of seven of those rewards are showcased in this episode. Your heart will be filled with gladness and gratitude as you gaze on the utterly spectacular inheritance that awaits God’s chosen ones. www.shreveministries.org

True followers of Jesus are described as “overcomers” in the book of Revelation (ABPE). Though we face so many areas of conflict and challenge in this world, God has given us more than enough grace and wisdom to rise above them all. Most amazingly, He accomplished this before the world even existed. www.shreveministries.org

In Acts 3:25 God’s people are called “children of the prophets and of the covenant.” Those two primary influences brought to birth the nation of Israel in the Old Covenant period and the Church in the New Covenant era. Jesus is called a Prophet and He lives within all born-again believers. So, a prophetic nature and calling is part of our spiritual DNA. No wonder Paul said, “You may all prophesy.”...

Are you a saint? The majority of professing Christians would stall before answering that question—because most would assume only those who achieve a high degree of spirituality could ever be described that way. But God refers to all His people as saints. To qualify, believers must be sanctified—and a pine cone bears a real message about that.  

In the Old Testament, priests were initiated into their calling through specific requirements and rituals. This speaks to New Covenant believers on a higher, symbolic, and prophetic level. What the Father did naturally in the former era, He does supernaturally now—powerfully transforming broken people into priests of the Most High God. As the mystery unfolds, you will be carried to a pinnacle of r...

Mercy is one of God’s most wonderful attributes. Without it, we would be irretrievably lost in darkness and deception. Once we receive God’s mercy, our hearts should burst with gratitude that can best be expressed by paying it forward and showing mercy to others. This only make more mercy available to us.  www.shreveministries.org

Believers are called to be “instruments of justice,” according to an ancient translation of Romans 6:13. Injustice is rampant in our modern-day culture. The church must be a more respected voice or we, as a society, will soon perish. Isaiah described our day well when he said, “Justice is turned back . . . truth is fallen in the street.” Who will rise up to fulfill this calling?

The word “Zion” means fortress (a stronghold of defense). Those in covenant with the God of Abraham (the King of Zion) qualify as “Children of Zion” because they have become a fortress of faith in a world full of unbelief, a fortress of love in a world full of hatred, a fortress of peace in a world full of stress. But that’s just a small part of this grand revelation.  www.shreveministries.org

Did God name Himself “Jehovah-Jireh” or was that popular name for God humanly created? Originally, did it apply to something besides God? Does that name reveal the Most High will provide His people with an abundance of material things or is the real meaning far more profound? We who are “a people for His name” need to understand the true revelation of God’s name so we can be a praise to Him in the...

Jesus   will judge between “the living and the dead at His appearing,” when He ushers His kingdom fully into this world. That’s not talking about distinguishing those who are alive physically from those who are dead naturally, but rather, those who are alive spiritually as opposed to those who are dead in their sins. Only “the living” will enter the coming kingdom. This episode will stir you! www....

Believers in Jesus are called “a people for His name.” Once His glorious name is revealed to us, it becomes our source of authority and victory. Learn the mystery of the tetragrammaton, the four-letter name for God in Hebrew, and the revelation of God’s name through the Old Testament.  www.shreveministries.org

In the first apostolic council, new converts coming to the Lord were called “a people for His name.” This title for God’s people has five powerful applications. In  this episode, we will discover the wonder of the first: that all God does in us and through us is “for His name’s sake.” www.shreveministries.org

Children of the day are blessed individuals whose lives have been illuminated by an encounter with Jesus, the Sun of Righteousness who arises over them with healing in His wings. Once enlightened, they too shine in the lives of others. This calling stretches from time to eternity. www.shreveministries.org

We are living in dark times. But God's people are called "CHILDREN OF LIGHT and the CHILDREN OF THE DAY. We are not of the night nor of darkness.” The symbol of light, applied to God and His people, contains many intriguing, mysterious, and powerful insights. You will be "enlightened" by this episode. www.shreveministries.org

Learn the 10 amazing ways “children of the resurrection” will be changed into the glorious image of the Lord Jesus when He returns. When the “dead in Christ” arise and living believers are translated, “We shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” (1 John 3:2) Get ready to be filled with awe! www.shreveministries.org 

Most believers view the resurrection through a historical lens: celebrating the great victory Jesus won almost 2,000 years ago. However, there is an overflow of power from the empty tomb that is still lingering in this world, available for those who believe. Learn the seven present-tense benefits given to “children of the resurrection”—right here, right now!  

The body of Christ is described as being “one bread”; we inherit this status from the Son of God who was “living bread which came down from heaven.” He existed to feed those who are hungry for truth. We are called to do the same, for we are “partakers of that one bread.” A special message for the Feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread.

Believers are named “a chosen generation” in 1 Peter 2:9. The Scripture declares God Himself chose us before the foundation of this world; so surely, He will keep us and preserve us until the new creation arrives. What a powerful revelation! www.thetruelight.net

Believers are called “the rich of the earth” in several translations of Psalms 22:29. This is a reference to what Jesus called “true riches.” It is important to see yourself, not as a struggling defeated person, but someone rich beyond description in the good things of God! www.shreveministries.org .

Is the “Prosperity Gospel” right or wrong—or is there a balanced biblical view of this concept that is healthy, beneficial, and wholesome? In the last podcast, we examined our calling to be “The Prosperous of the Earth” (Psalms 22:29 NKJV). In this episode, we’ll explore this revelation even deeper. www.shreveministries.org .

God’s people are named “the prosperous of the earth” in Psalm 22:29. Why would God do that unless prosperity is something He intends to pour out. But does that always involve material or financial gain? Is there a balanced and God-pleasing way of looking at this concept? (Part one of a two-part series).  www.shreveministries.org
