You will definitely be ‘enlightened’ by this episode and discover more clearly who you really are and what to expect in these last days.

The word “Zion” means fortress. Biblically, it refers to seven distinct things, including God’s people and the eternal city in which they will dwell. Those who are born again are in covenant with the King of Zion (Yeshuah) and called to personify this title, becoming a fortress of truth in a world full of deception, a fortress of faith in a world full of unbelief, and a fortress of love in a world full of hatred. And that's just the beginning of this grand revelation. Ministry website: www.shre...

God’s redeemed and chosen ones receive “the seal of the living God.” What is this mysterious “seal” and how does it affect sons and daughters of God? Why is this “seal” a guarantee that God will do a complete work in His own and carry us through all the battles of life to our ultimate transformation at the end of this age? Once you hear this revelation, you will be convinced, more than ever, of God’s long term commitment to carry you all the way to your ultimate destiny. Ministry website: www.s...

Every true child of God is a minister! Peter said, “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10). Then Paul revealed the three greatest ministry opportunities that have been given to God's people—and all three can be done every single day. This will greatly magnify your view of how important you are in other people’s lives. Get ready for a revelation that will impact your world! Ministry website: www.shreveministries....

Is the division between “ministry” and “laity” true, or is it a false, non-biblical, manmade concept that discourages many gifted people from functioning in their ordained roles? Does the Bible impart to all believers the title of “ministers”? If so, in what areas are you qualified to minister? Prepare to be awakened to your calling!

When God touches a person’s life, He grants a new identity, a new nature, and a new purpose. From the very beginning, He has named those He chooses—like Adam, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, John the Baptist, Peter, James and John, and the Son of God Himself. He has named you also—over 1,000 times in His Word! And He will give you a new name in heaven! Discover your God-given names and be filled with awe!

Wise men from the East were led by a star to Bethlehem, to the home where Joseph, Mary, and the Messiah-child were living. Those who truly know God are called to fill a similar role, guiding others to the Savior of the world. Daniel claimed believers who lead many to righteousness will shine like “the stars forever and ever.” So, radiate the truth, child of God! Fulfill your destiny! Shine brightly everywhere you go! Overcome the darkness with light! This is who you are, both now and forevermore...

The Father is the great Gift-giver. When Jesus, the Son, ascended to heaven, He led captivity captive and received gifts for men. He promised to grant the gift of the Holy Spirit to those who repent. When the Helper, the Holy Spirit, comes into our lives, He brings many gifts, so that we can emerge as “the Gifted”: favored persons God uses to bring healing to a hurting world.

Under the Old Covenant, Aaron and his sons were given the priesthood as a “gift for service” and the rest of the Levites were referred to as a “gift for the LORD” as they performed the service of the tabernacle (Numbers 18:6-7). Born again believers of the New Covenant, both Jews and Gentiles, are referred to as a “holy priesthood” (1 Peter 2:5). We have also received this role as “a gift for service.” Furthermore, we are the spiritual continuation of the tribe of Levi, so we are also “a gift fo...

Christians often assign the image of a ferocious lion to Satan while envisioning themselves as defenseless, vulnerable lambs. However, the image of a lion is used far more often to describe the Messiah and His covenant people than the prince of darkness. Once we truly hear the roar of the Lion of Judah, we will be awakened to our own lion calling, manifesting this symbol of bravery, fearlessness, dominion, and victory.

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!

Believers are the temple of God in this New Testament era. In the previous Age of the Law, the Ark of the Covenant was enshrined in the innermost chamber of the temple of Solomon. In this present era, what the ark symbolized is enshrined within the hearts of the sons and daughters of God. This revelation will awaken in you a new appreciation of the mystery of God’s plan emerging in His people.

God’s New Covenant people are a living temple for His indwelling. Isaiah 45:15 declares that God is a God who hides Himself—and one way He does that is in symbolism. Many facets of the Old Testament temple of Solomon, including the seven different pieces of furniture, provide a beautiful, intriguing, mysterious, metaphorical symbol of how our hearts should be furnished if we are God’s habitation.

The Temple of Solomon was spectacular. Incomparable in beauty and grandeur, that glorious structure awakened in awe in the hearts of all who saw it. Mysteriously, it also provided many prophetic symbols concerning the eternal temple that was yet to come - a temple that God would construct out of living stones (born again believers) in this New Testament era. Yes, we are truly a showcase for His glory.

Zechariah 9:12 says, “Return to the stronghold, you PRISONERS OF HOPE. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.” Sincerely coming to Jesus involves surrendering to the authority of God. Those who do this lose control of their lives. They become prisoners of love. The love of God that delivers them from sin also constrains them to fulfill the perfect will of God, which can be very demanding. Those who choose that road receive the DOUBLE-PORTION: life with God now and life eternal i...

There are seven definite debts that we owe as children of God. Prior to salvation, we owed a debt we could not pay. So, Jesus came down from heaven and paid a debt He did not owe, dying in our place. What amazing compassion and generosity! However, by accepting this wonderful gift, we simultaneously inherited a sevenfold spiritual debt that we now must pay off as we walk with God. After you hear this revelation, you may never look at life the same again. Ministry website: www.shreveministries.o...

Just before ascending, Jesus revealed a primary name, a powerful title, that would rest upon His New Covenant followers. He declared, “You shall be My witnesses.” How needful this is! Witnesses are those who verify a story because they have personal knowledge about the matter. In a world full of religious deception, those who have personal knowledge of the truth must be outspoken and bold, always ready to penetrate the darkness with light. Those who fulfill this calling join the ranks of world c...

From the moment Adam and Eve fell, a dark entity kidnapped them and all who would ever be born of them. From that point, the human race groaned under the torturous treatment of one who is full of hate, lust, selfishness, and anger. Thank God for the day when Jesus ransomed His people from one who was stronger than us. And thank God for the spectacular moment, soon to happen, when He will finalize His work and fully ransom us from the grave! This teaching will lift you up! Ministry website: www....

The Bible declares that “mercy triumphs over judgment” (James 2:13). Our heavenly Father creates new expressions of mercy every morning. Receiving His mercy is the key to triumphant living. Giving it away to others is one of the most blessed and godlike things we can do. Believers are not only named “vessels of mercy” (recipients of the Savior's tender compassion); we are also called to be “the merciful” (extending His mercy to others). What a high calling this is! Ministry website: www.shrevem...

All believers are “vessels of mercy” who, according to Romans 9:23, have been “prepared beforehand for glory.” Did you get that? “Prepared beforehand”—that means before the foundation of the world, God chose you to be a recipient of His mercy. How intense is that! Learn two of the most powerful mercy scriptures in the Bible and two of the most powerful manifestations of mercy to ever take place.

Two types of people occupy this world: vessels of mercy and vessels of wrath. A vessel is an object purposefully created to be filled with some kind of substance. God has mercifully created us to be “filled”—with His presence, His character, and His purpose for our lives. On this episode, your host Mike Shreve shares one of the most miraculous breakthrough services he ever held in India and how the mercy of God was demonstrated that night in numerous ways.

In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve are exiled from Eden. In Genesis 4, their sons, Cain and Abel, approach God at an altar. So, from the beginning, an altar was essential in reconnecting with the Creator. Noah worships at an altar, and the curse is lifted from the entire globe. Joel 1:13 refers to priests in the Old Testament as ministers of the altar. All who qualify as priests in the New Testament also bear this title. This insight travels all the way through the Bible to the book of Revelation. Mini...

Ancient altars, designed by God, contained hidden, prophetic symbolism concerning profound New Testament realities. In the Old Testament, priests were called “ministers of the altar” (Joel 1:13). This is true in the New Testament era also. All born-again believers are priests of the Most High God. So, on a much higher level, we are also “ministers of the altar,” but that altar is no longer a brass altar in a wilderness tabernacle. It’s on a hill called Golgotha. The mystery is about to unfold. ...

God declared through the prophet Zechariah that He would make the sons of Zion like the “sword of a mighty man” (Zec. 9:13). On the highest level, this is the ultimate fulfillment of the original sign and wonder. When Adam and Eve were thrust out of the Garden, God set cherubim at the east of Eden and a flaming sword to guard the way to the tree of life. Only those who have “the spirit of wisdom and revelation” within their hearts can truly understand these hidden mysteries. Ministry website: w...
