Discover Your Spiritual Identity with Mike Shreve

The impartation of righteousness is one of the most amazing promises found in the Bible. God’s Word indicts the whole human race with the statement, “There is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10). So how is it even possible to become “heirs of righteousness” and have a righteous status in the sight of heaven? (Heb. 11:7) Paul was the main Bible writer who revealed this mystery. On this podca...

God speaks in poetical, metaphorical ways. Often, natural things He commands become prophetic symbols of supernatural realities. For instance, when God gave the rite of circumcision to Abraham, He was foreshadowing the New Covenant when a spiritual “cutting away” of carnality would be available. Born-again believers are now called “The Circumcision”—because a truly devoted heart is a “circumcised”...

An epistle is a letter to an individual or a group. Twenty-one of the twenty-seven books in the New Testament are epistles, small portions of the total written Word. But believers are small portions of the total LIVING WORD. They are LIVING EPISTLES (epistles of Christ, love letters from the Messiah to a hurting and broken world). What a high calling! What a beautiful truth! Ministry website: www....

Supernatural wisdom is an impartation from the heavenly Father. He promises to pour out “the Spirit of wisdom and revelation” on those who love Him, that we might know the hope of our calling and the greatness of His power. The Author of our faith promises to grant this gift liberally to those who ask in faith. It is more precious than rubies and a tree of life to those who receive it. Once it is...

This episode will help you be a greater influencer! But first, what does the mysterious word “Zion” mean and why are God’s people referred to as “Zion’s Converts” in Isaiah 1:27? The mystery unveiled is powerful! Also, have you ever noticed this pattern—that human beings who go through a true conversion become God’s agents of influence to convert others, often in the same arenas of life? In fact,...

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, defiled human beings into fully liberated, resurrected, glorified, eternal sons of God reflecting His spectacular image. This is truly a miraculous metamorphosis....

Did you know that true Christians have inherited eight major biblical mountains? Of course, this is not a literal physical inheritance, but a spiritual one—an impartation you share with every other born-again child of God under the New Covenant. These mountains are “high points” in the history of humanity, times of divine intervention when God came down to earth and drew His people up to various “...

Are ancient religious traditions true? Is the priesthood exclusive? Do only a few qualify? Or has God provided a way for all true believers to be priests? If the latter is correct, how does God qualify His people for such a high calling. The answers to this question may give you a whole new perspective on the transformation process going on in your life.  Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org...

Are you a saint? The majority of professing Christians would probably stall before attempting to answer that question—because most of them assume that only those who achieve a high degree of spirituality and religious devotion could ever be described that way. But what does the Bible say? You may be surprised to see how God refers to all His people. This revelation will carry you from eternity pas...

The solution for the fallen condition of the human race is not rehabilitation; it’s recreation! Only in Christianity is this offered. “If anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION” (2 Cor. 5:17). In the New Covenant, God gives His offspring “a new spirit” and a “new heart.” From that point forward the “inward man” is “renewed” (made new all over again) every moment of every day. Wow! You will neve...

God has established nine covenants to redeem and restore His people in this world. The eighth is called “The New Covenant”—because this covenant is especially about God making all things new. It begins invisibly and internally with each child of the covenant becoming “a new creation” (2 Cor. 5:17). It will end with a spectacular external and visible transformation of the entire universe—a new crea...

The incredibly edifying revelation of the covenant we have with God is symbolized by certain human covenants recorded in the Bible. Four heartwarming stories reveal unforgettable prophetic details that will open up your understanding of this amazing concept. A sacred covenant always involves both promises and conditions, from us to God and from God to us. Get ready! Your faith is about to soar!!!...

God has established nine major covenants from the Garden of Eden onward. The most stable people in this unstable world are those who accept the terms of His covenants and receive the associated promises. Those who understand that God is a covenant-making, covenant-keeping, covenant-revealing, covenant-establishing God become truly unshakeable. These unique individuals are even called “children of...

Jesus encourages His followers to be “the violent” in Matthew 11:12. Was He advocating an aggressive overthrow of the Roman government? Aren’t we supposed to be meek and gentle, toward God and toward people? Why did Jesus say we must take the kingdom of God by force? Isn’t the kingdom a free gift to those who believe? Learn the keys to deciphering the true meaning of this mysterious passage of Scr...

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 a grand revelation that reaches all the way to the p...

God often hides prophetic foreshadowings in actions He performs. That’s the way the Divine mind works. When He brought forth Eve out of Adam, He was simultaneously foreshadowing how He would bring forth an eternal bride out of Himself. Pondering this mystery will help you comprehend the wonder of God’s love toward you and His ultimate purpose in you. Get ready to say, “WOW!” Ministry website: www....

Believers are called “the Lamb’s wife” in Revelation 21:9. What an amazing privilege, that we, an earthborn bride, could be in a sacred, covenantal, eternal union with the heavenly Bridegroom. Biblically, the Lamb’s wife is represented as a stunning, eternal city, the heavenly Jerusalem. Beautiful, symbolic details about that city reveal hidden mysteries about who we are and how we are being shape...

True followers of Jesus are referred to as His bride. We are presently engaged to the heavenly Bridegroom, the King of kings, as a “chaste virgin” and destined to be married to Him forever. Ultimately, all consecrated, born-again believers will make up the royal “queen” of heaven, reigning with Him eternally over a glorious New Creation. Absolutely awe-inspiring! Ministry website: www.shreveminist...

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 revelation is deeper than y...

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 rushing through this world like a mighty river, carrying those who believe in the current of God's purpose to a place of total victory. Learn the seven present-tense benefits given to “children of th...

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 very throne of God. Your heart will surge with awe-filled gratitude and faith-filled expectation as you ponder this utter...

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.  Ministry website : www.shreveministries.org...

True followers of Jesus are described as “overcomers” in the book of Revelation. Though this world is increasingly becoming more corrupt, God has already decreed that we emerge from these dark final days triumphant. He has given us more than enough grace, power, and wisdom to rise above all the temptation, tribulation, and opposition. Most amazingly, He purposed this outcome before the world even...

In the Old Testament, in the original Hebrew, the primary revealed name of God is only four letters long—equivalent in English to YHWH. There is a great mystery attached to this sacred, ineffable name. It appears 6828 times in most of our English Bibles simply translated LORD. That is truly insufficient and there is a simple reason. This is the third episode in a series on our calling to be “a peo...

One of the most profound dreams I have ever received gave me a deeper understanding why believers in Jesus are called “a people for His name” (Acts 15:14). This episode is Part 2 of the teaching on that title for God’s people. Once His glorious name is revealed to us, it becomes our source of authority and victory. We exist to proclaim that glorious name! Ministry website : www.shreveministries.or...
