More Faith More Life

Revival often starts with one person. Is that you? In this episode, Steve looks at the example of the prophet Elijah, who knew how to get ready for revival and wait on God. Today, there is a spiritual drought, and we need God to send the rain! Will we do what it takes to get the presence and power of God in our lives and churches?

There is an ego on the outside, and a good that OVERCOMES evil… Unfortunately, those two things do not work together. Evil has invaded our world and surrounds us. Every Christian has the opportunity to overcome it! The question is, will believers do what it takes to stand against the evil? Steve discusses the choice we have, the power of God at our disposal, and the roadblocks that prevent us from...

In this episode, Steve looks at how revival really functions and how a carrier of revival pursues their Godly mission. Before the Kingdom of God can expand on earth, the people of God must make room. It’s time to uproot the religion and everything we've tried to substitute in the place of God's presence. 

We want revival now, but there aren’t any shortcuts. No shortcuts exist for getting us the presence and power of God. In this episode, Steve talks about how we easily fall into corruption and the traps of instant gratification. Steve goes to the Book of Acts, where the first century believers knew how to live Spirit-filled lives and pursue God together.     SHOW NOTES:    We live in a shortcut soc...

Every believer is gifted with the grace of God, or His unmerited favor. But a GREATER grace comes to us during the move of God—during revival. So what is the greater grace? In this episode, Steve talks about the "increase" and the life-changing, problem-solving power of God that we can experience!

Get rid of the competition!  In this episode, Steve goes to the story of the Rich Ruler. Not all of us are rich but we all must follow Jesus and can get rid of our lack. A major reason we don’t have revival today is because of a heart problem. What’s taking up your heart? What is your identity?

Are you going the Narrow Way? In Luke 13, Jesus tells us about “the narrow door” into His Kingdom. We want to enter His presence, experience His power, and know more of who God is. We want to be saved and rescued by God. But so many people try to go the narrow way and are unable. Why? In this episode, Steve explains the reasons why people don’t make it through the Kingdom’s door and how we can! 

The Kingdom of God is now ready! Christians have the power of God within their grasp, but we get lost in the chaos of the transitioning world. In this episode, Steve talks about the excuses we make and the invitations to the Kingdom of God that we are turning down. Now is the time to make a different choice.

Are we “more than conquerors?” The Bible says that’s who we are meant to be! In this episode, Steve talks about why believers still struggle to conquer even their own lives. There’s a problem in the church today that’s keeping people from experiencing the presence and power of God! If we overcome it, then we can walk confidently in the purpose and calling of God.

Will you compromise or catch FIRE? That’s the spiritual battle roaring within you! In this episode, Steve shows how John the Baptist and Jesus were true lovers of God who would not compromise. They faced down the Pharisees and exposed the selfish, compromised religion of the day. What about the religion of our day? Are we like Jesus and John…or like the Pharisees?

Are we passing the point of survival? Revival is within our grasp now, but we must do something about it. In this episode, Steve talks about the ministries of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ and what they teach us the Kingdom of God.  

Seek Him First. Steve tackles the simple but widespread problem that holds us back from revival and stops the presence of God from sweeping through our churches. What happens when we aren’t in line with God? Are we making God our top priority? Has rebellion set in? What do you seek?      

Open the heavens, God, and come down! That’s our heart’s cry when we are tired and hurting, when life is disappointing. But what are we doing about it? Are we putting God and His House first? In this episode, Steve goes to the Bible where God gives Haggai a root cause and a hopeful promise.

How are you choosing to live? Have you set yourself apart from the worldliness--for God's use only? Building upon the previous episode "To Be Holy," Steve talks about the importance of holiness in our relationship with God and in the pursuit of revival. 

God commands us to “make every effort to be holy.” What does this mean? What is holiness? How do I do it? Many Christians don’t try to live holy lives—and they miss out. God calls for us to be holy for his awesome purposes. If we set ourselves apart, then we will see the Lord and experience His presence and power.

‘Do you want to get well?’  Jesus asked this question to the man at the pool (in John 5). Jesus is asking us that question today. So many Christians are sick. Physically sick, emotionally sick, AND spiritually sick! The problem is…they don’t want to get better?! In this episode, Steve explains the powerful choice we have to make.  

Consecrate yourself to God. Do it today! God has called us to set ourselves apart from the ways of the world and give ourselves wholly to Him. In this episode, Steve talks about why consecration is so vital to our lives as Christians and why we can so easily miss out on everything God has to offer. 

We must confront  fruitless religion.  Something is wrong when our churches are sick and the power of God is absent. What’s the problem? Steve goes to the Bible: in Luke 13, Jesus spoke a message to the Jewish religion that we must hear today. We as believers can and must make changes. Only then will revival come.    

We have been created in God’s image! Why? In this episode, Steve explains why it is important that we were made in God’s image and what this means for our lives. We have a purpose on this earth. The people of God have hope and the promise of resurrection life and eternity through Jesus Christ. It’s time to pursue God and start restoring His glory!  

Pandemics, nuclear weapons, hunger, wars?! These are the dangers of the times we live in. But God’s glory is also for this present age! Revival will come. Some people resist revival and say that it is not in line with the Biblical “end times.” Steve clears up their misconceptions in this episode and gives us reasons why we should hope for and expect an outpouring of the Spirit of God! 

The church has lost its voice! Who will be a voice for God? Our world is filled with chaos, turmoil, divisiveness, and politics. People get outraged about all kinds of things and get loud. So how can we remain silent? In this episode, Steve looks at the John the Baptist and the patterns of holiness and consecration that God’s people have lost. If we would just repent, and turn to the Lord!  

Be filled with the Holy Spirit! The power of God is alive and moving in the present day just as it was on Pentecost and in the Bible. In this episode, Steve tackles erroneous beliefs about the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. Will we seek God our own way or the Bible’s way? Do we give God free rein to work and move in our lives?   

Are we on the verge of revival yet?! We will be when we break out of Babylon: all the world’s ungodly ways. In this episode, Steve shares one major sign of revival. When revival is near, people act a certain way. If we know what it is, we can start making changes in our hearts, our lives, and our churches. We don’t have to wait for revival if we just do all that it takes to draw near to God! 

Who caused this storm? Our ever-changing world is full of chaos and turmoil, and the global pandemic is just the latest sign that something is wrong. In this episode, Steve discusses the ways that God speaks to and corrects His people. Maybe this pandemic is God trying to speak to us, His Church! God’s people must listen!  

A true disciple will give up everything to follow Jesus—that is also what’s required of leaders of revival. In this episode, Steve explains what Jesus meant about discipleship and delves into the cost of revival. Revival does not come because people are often unwilling to do what it takes to get it.
