The Difference with Matt & Kendal Hagee – “A Life of Multiplication”
Bestselling author and co-founder of Messenger International John Bevere shares the work of Messenger International and the impact it has on leaders around the world. His book “X: Multiply Your God-Given Potential” dives into how we are all called to live a life of multiplication.
today on the difference we welcome
International speaker and best-selling
author John bav known for his bold and
uncompromising approach to God’s word
John shares from his book X why you are
called to multiply I’m firmly convinced
we don’t have results like this because
we’re not praying accurately we’re not
believing accurately you have not
because you ask not and you wrot this
book because I want to not only do I
help people identify their gifts develop
their gifts but I want people have the
faith to develop their
[Music]
gifts hello and welcome to the
difference have you ever asked yourself
what is your god-given purpose and does
he have a plan for you today we’re not
only going to discuss that very topic
but we’re going to show you in the word
of God how you can take the
multiplication factor in your life and
see God’s promises come to fruition John
B is here to share with us from his
latest book you don’t want to miss it
we’ll be right back after
this all of us have a call of God on our
life and every single one of us are
given unique gifts by God to accomplish
that calling however many are not
accomplishing this calling because
they’re paralyzed they’re concerned
possibly they may miss God or they may
do something wrong I don’t know what
sphere of influence you’re in you could
be a businessman businesswoman stayhome
mom in healthc care in in education in
the Arts in government I don’t know but
one thing I do know you are called to
multiply for years I saw being faithful
as only being Dependable reliable
consistent trustworthy however the day
came and I remember when it happened
when God opened my eyes to show me one
of the most important definitions of
faithful is to
multiply what I want to do in this book
I want to help you discover your gifts I
want to help you develop your gifts and
I want to help you multiply your gifts
so you can build the kingdom of God
effectively on this Earth as Jesus has
commissioned you to
do welcome back to the difference
Kendall and I have so enjoyed having our
dear friend John bav here with us today
and John we’ve talked about the way that
you and your family are ministering to
the nations of the world through
Messenger International X multiplying
your god-given potential this is what
book for you as far as number number 22
number 22 and here is something that I
admire greatly and have experienced
personally um the consistency of quality
and
Excellence it’s it’s a testament to your
diligence because 22 books is in and of
itself a feat but 22 good
books that’s that’s the gift that’s a
I’m talking about you said that’s a key
ingredient that you don’t write a book
there in lies what I’m saying about
experienced it personally you know um
when I had the opportunity to become
more familiar with messenger it really
changed my perspective on how the body
of Christ works together because my
context for reaching the Nations was
training up somebody within your
congregation and then sending one
individual into an area that they felt
called go and and and there’s certainly
historical context for God doing great
works through missionaries like that I’m
not discrediting that but that was my
only perspective this is how I saw the
operation and function of reaching
Nations and then I was able to find out
how messenger International resources to
your statements earlier about the local
church right you not only resourced the
local church here in San Antonio Texas
at Cornerstone by providing this kind of
content to pastors like me but you
through the direction of the Holy Spirit
and what you believed God leading you to
do have resourced hundreds of thousands
of churches in some of the most distant
remote parts of the world and the way
you’re doing it is by giving these
resources to pastors right so that as
voices of influence in their own
Community they can reach their church
now see I understand that because I’m
the voice of influence at Cornerstone
the members of Cornerstone trust me I’m
their Shepherd so when you tell me about
uh a pastor in Uganda or you talk about
a pastor in Albania or you talk about a
pastor in a place where the church is
underground like Iraq or Iran or
Afghanistan these are places where
messenger International is taking these
kinds of resources and they’re giving
them to that Pastor so that that Pastor
can reach his Community Reach his church
and touch their life in a very
significant
way where do you see people utilizing
their god-given gifts to multiply that
well first of all you’ve just said so
much um I take notes but I only did it a
minute and a half I want I minute and a
half all right I got to do this quick no
no no I did it in a minute and a half
you talk all you want so much good
things that you brought out here first
of all um a plane can go nowhere with
just the fuselage you need the ins
system you need the engines you need the
the wings right messenger International
is just a piece of this puzzle we’ve
been able and when I say we cornerstones
included you and and and Kendall and and
John and Diana and we made it a focus of
our missions Outreach because I came
home I told Dad I said look I have seen
a way that we can take the resources of
our church and leverage it all over the
world and he said how I said through
Messenger International so we’ve been
able to give away over 41 million now
resources to pastors and leaders in 111
languages and 226 Nations so we’re 15
Nations short right of the whole world
we’ve done this together we realize that
we’re just a team member you’re a team
member yeah so the whole the whole
football team that won the Super Bowl
six times was not just Tom Brady
although he’s playing so good with Tampa
Bay right now he had a big part but
that’s another story but what what you
said that’s so crucial to understanding
this is a couple things if I send a
missionary from America over to a
country it takes seven years for him to
really learn the language the culture
and everything about the people where is
and most don’t last that long right
whereas if I put the word of God into a
national he’s raised up with that
culture secondly if I build a building
over there for them they’re still
dependent on us but if I give them the
faith through the word of God because
Jesus said my church would be built on
Revelation knowledge absolutely so we
gave Bibles to China and the Chinese
came back and said we gave them the beta
Satan and the Bible they came back and
they said please spend the money on the
ba of Satan not the Bible we have Bibles
this is the underground Church yeah and
we’re like oh my goodness so you know I
realized God is this going to appear
weird that I’m raising this money to
give books but then the the Revelation
came to me that Jesus said I’ll build my
church on Revelation knowledge so the
other the other natural natural aspect
of it is if you look at Dale or Andrew
Carnegie from 1883 to 198 he built over
3,000 libraries he was a philanthropist
right and all but 171 of those libraries
were in all of three states of the
United States when did United States
become a very powerful Nation between
1880 and 1920 why the the public was
given knowledge and so now what’s so
exciting is this is what we’ve done
together is we’ve built a unbelievable
app by one of the finest app developing
companies in the United States now we’ve
put a million and a half resources in
Iran right that Pastor in Iran can hit
one button and send the beta Satan
course the beta Satan book the beta
Satan Audi book to every single person
in his underground secret Church wow and
with just his iPhone with just his
Android with just his tablet so I really
believe it’s technology that a dictator
cannot control and I believe that’s our
Roman Road if you look at the Roman Road
started 300 BC why those shipping lanes
and the roads to the whole known part of
the world would be developed right when
Jesus came when he was born so that the
apostles could reach the whole Known
World this is the last days Jesus about
to return this is why I love this
ministry so much you actually believe in
the second coming of Jesus so looking
forward to it actually me too and and
and now our Roman roads is actually the
Wi-Fi yeah it it’s the ability to
communicate globally and what what’s
happening right now in space they are
literally trying to make Wi-Fi available
for the planet hey it might be wrong
intentions behind some of that but who
cares we’re going to Roman roads were
there weren’t great Rome used road to
dominate the world so that they could
control it they lost control but the
body of Christ is still here and moving
forward and you know one of the things
that I’ve tried to communicate and I
know Pastor heggy has tried to
communicate and I’ve heard you share it
the same way when we get to Eternity
there will be people from all of these
nations there are going to be people
from some of the most outer parts of the
earth and there’s going to be people
from some major metropolitan areas and
there’s going to be some people that
we’ve never seen in this life but
they’ll have the ability to recognize
that it’s the seed we sewed it’s the
things we did it’s how we connected the
dots that we were able to get them into
the opportunity to hear the the the
message receive it by faith and then
grow in their own Grace and their own
[Music]
power when we come back if you
understand that you are uniquely
supernaturally gifted to do that and you
begin to believe for that gift to begin
to activate then I don’t care if you’re
65 if you’re 25 you are going to begin
to flourish well I have been blessed by
the hegy ministry in many ways but one
that sticks out to me is how they focus
on every single generation and they
honestly live out their mission
statement thank you thank you for
providing a place for me to build
community and to grow not only
personally but in my walk with the Lord
and being able to bring others to
Christ has God placed a precious dream
in your heart one that you’ve gently
tucked away perhaps it feels
overwhelming too big or too costly and
you wonder
What If I Stumble where do I begin take
heart when God plants a Dream Within you
he also gives you everything you need to
make it a reality our part is to stay
close to his word if God brings you to
it he will surely bring you through it
for your gift of any amount this month
we’d love to send you the daily truth
perpetual calendar a daily reminder of
God’s promises and for a gift of $150 or
more you’ll also
proclamations the heaven in this place
CD the dream journal the Dare To Dream
mug and a beautiful peace ornament this
holiday season make your dream a reality
call the number on your screen or visit
jhm.org
dream so what would happen in the world
of construction in the world of our
classrooms in the world of our hospitals
our stay-at-home mom who are actually
one of the most important and I even
write about that in the book okay what
would happen is everybody got this if
everybody got the same mentality that
stepen had and everybody realized that
the value of what I’m good at is
actually a god-given gift to help me to
stand out in the arena of the world that
I’m called to yeah you know in the book
I do describe um a a guy that asked to
have a meeting with me who was a
multi-billionaire and uh it’s pretty
funny I I will say I want to sit this up
because it’s a hilarious story I’m I’m
getting ready to speak for one of the
bethl group conferences last year in
Dallas at the big arena and the guy over
it calls me and goes man there’s a
there’s a multi-billionaire he’s doing a
quote God Tour I said what’s his God
Tour he says he’s flying his private jet
around and meeting with certain
ministers that he wants them to speak
into his life and help him to sharpen
him and you’re one of them and I went
okay you know this is so interesting yes
I’m doing it so at the teler arena I
think it’s the teler arena or whatever
it is in Dallas they set up a room we
had a three hour lunch and this guy
actually really ended up ministering to
me because he the first thing he said to
me and this is when I was all ears he
said I was floundering in in in the
marketplace I knew I knew God had called
me to be a businessman and I was doing
horrible cuz he said John I was doing
everything in my own strength I was
doing everything according to the books
in the business world I was reading he
said I was your classic
businessman doing everything right but
failing and he said I’m sitting in
church one one day and I’m watching my
pastor preach and the thought comes to
me he’s called to do what he’s doing and
he totally relies on the Holy Spirit to
do that I’m called to do what I’m
calling why don’t I rely on the holy
spirit so he said I started powerful oh
my gosh that’s so so he said I sat down
every morning and I just get a piece
notepad in front of me and he said I
just write down the things the Holy
Spirit would tell me to do and he said
John some were so crazy unconventional
he said but I thought I’ve already
failed I’m going to just do this and he
said sure enough it started working he
said one thing I did I did it 20 times
the Holy Spirit told me I thought what
in the world does this have to do with
business he said I did it and now I own
20 hospitals in Vietnam and he told me
how he bought the second largest bank in
the world he to told me how now he’s
developing jet engines that run on
batteries that will work and he said
we’re just about four years away from
launching this thing and I’m like yeah
and so here here now he’s flourishing
he’s got people’s attention in the
business world you know because he’s so
successful but he gives the glory to God
so now think about it if he’s reading
all the books on on on how to do
business and all that people go man
you’re so successful well you know I
have this education and I’ve read this
book and that book how much greater that
he goes you know I was a failure in
business let me tell you how I became so
successful and and if you look at Isaiah
God speaks through that prophet and says
I am the Lord God that teaches you how
to profit God’s will Mo Moses prayed
actually twice well he didn’t pray this
twice he prayed it with emphasis he said
make our efforts successful in the Book
of Psalms in I think it was 9091 or 92
and he said it again make our efforts
successful JZ make me successful right
why because I want to be a witness For
Your Glory I actually I hope I’m not
dominating this conversation this why we
brought you here um kall gets to listen
to me talk all the
time so I’m sitting in across the dinner
table in a restaurant in Detroit and the
guy sitting there said John I don’t know
if I’ve ever really shared with you my
testimony he said I was on the senior
design team for General Motors and he
said as a member of the senior design
team they because we are such a a unique
team they would do a analysis on us for
our productivity because we’re so
important to General Motors success he
said so they would do a cost production
analysis on us once a year and he said
basically the cost production analysis
is what our inventions made the company
and what our inventions saved the
company they’d add it together to give
each employees cost analysis for the
senior design team he says so I’m
reading in the Book of Daniel that
Daniel was 10 times wiser more
Innovative and creative than the best
leaders in D and and he said that wasn’t
his assessment that was the king of
babylon’s assess and he said I started
thinking Babylon was the most successful
nation in the world these guys come from
a little country right they the the
leaders in Babylon been taught by the
best scientists the best leaders
teachers in the world world he’s coming
up with all these ideas and Daniel gets
promoted he’s coming up with ideas they
never thought of he gets promoted above
all of them yeah quickly he yeah so he
said John I threw my Bible down on the
desk when I read this in Daniel that he
distinguished himself among the the
government officials of Babylon because
Daniel 63 says that he say threw my
Bible down I says I should be 10 times
better than anybody on the senior design
team so he said I started praying what’s
he doing he’s activating his faith to
get that Grace he said that year when I
started praying the number two man in
the entire senior design team was $30
million his cost production analysis he
said I was the number one man and I was
$300 million wow 10 times to so he was
10 times and that’s exactly what he was
praying see I’m firmly convinced we
don’t have results like this because
we’re not praying accurately we’re not
believing accurately you have not
because you ask not and you ask this
book because I want to not only do I
help people identify their gifts develop
their gifts but I want people have the
faith to develop their gifts yeah so cuz
it’s no good I’m not trying to develop
your natural abilities I want the super
natural ability because the Bible shows
that it’s actually God’s ability that he
entrusts to us yeah I want people to
develop that and you illustrate it so
beautifully so many different ways in
the book not only with with real life
stories of conversations you’ve had but
the scriptural uh foundation for
individuals to be able to go search it
out in their own Bible and and be able
to see it for themselves uh but over and
over it just Echoes as a theme because I
mean as you’re sitting here discussing
this individual who
prayed for a ten-fold increase in in his
distinguishment above his team you know
and and you’re talking about having the
faith to activate it the Bible says all
things are possible to those that
believe and and and often times because
we like this sacred secular thing we say
I can believe God for a miracle I can
believe God I can believe God I can
believe God and God saying what if you
just believed me for a great idea when
you went to work tomorrow what if you
just believed me to answer that question
what if you just believed me to help you
have the best Monday that you’ve had in
a long long time because I think so many
times we want to give you know we want
to save our faith for the big things
because because we like to think it’s it
can be wasted you know I’ve only got so
many tokens and and and once I’m done
with my faith tokens I’m just out but
you build Faith because you continue to
believe that if God can help me do this
then he can help me do this and he can
help he can help me do this yeah yeah I
mean our prayers should make a
difference in this world and a lot of us
pray like it’s only going to matter in
the next World and Jesus taught us when
you pray pray this way Daily Bread give
us this day our daily bread give me
Monday’s bread today because I can’t get
Tuesdays today right you know and so I
think that there’s a lot of people who
are watching and and I think their ears
are hearing what we’re saying and
there’s a part of them that in their
heart they want to believe it but if you
were across the table from you know the
the 20-some year old mom who’s wanting
to know am I making a mistake by giving
up my career to raise my kids or the 40
something year old professional who says
I’ve done this 20 years and I don’t know
if I got another 10 in me or the 65y old
grandfather who says I really hope I’m
making a difference how would you
encourage them to believe today that
they can multiply their god-given
potential first of all I would say you
have unique gifts in you that all of us
need I
mean what what God has placed in your
life is needed by others it’s not that
gift isn’t for you and so the question
is are you going to release are you
going to get into the river and are you
going to just float with the river or
are you still going to stay say ankle
deep Knee Deep or waist deep in order so
that you can maintain control once you
really get into that River and you allow
the Holy Spirit to Lead You In what you
are doing whether it’s stay-at-home mom
whether you’re walking into a classroom
of a public school whether you’re
walking into the hospital as as a nurse
whatever you do if you understand that
you are uniquely supernaturally gifted
to do that and you begin to believe for
that gift to begin to activate then I
don’t care if you’re 65 if you’re 25 you
are going to begin to flourish Smith
Wigglesworth woke up to what was on his
life when he was in his 50s it’s not too
late amen we need your gifts whether
you’re 80 whether you’re 60 whether
you’re 40 whether you’re 20 whether
you’re 10 we need your gifts in the body
because those gifts aren’t in me and I
need what you have because the body
builds itself up by what every part
contributes and what the part
contributes is supernatural abilities so
I want to believe for you right now that
God will put his grace upon you in such
a profound way and the Bible doesn’t say
come sheepishly to the throne of grace
it says come boldly to the throne of
grace to obtain mercy and find Grace to
help in a time of need there is need in
your world right now and so there needs
to be Grace Charisma manifesting for
that world that is in need and God will
lead you to the people that you’re
unique gifting will benefit and so
father I pray for every single person
watching this in the name of Jesus Lord
God you have placed at least one but
probably many gifts upon this man or
woman who’s listening right now and I’m
asking in the name of Jesus that their
faith would grow and that they may
receive the grace of God to be able to
change their world and build your
kingdom Lord in such a way that will
bring joy and pleasure to your heart I
commit this man or woman to you and I
pray that as they continue to read your
word the Holy Spirit you’ll open up more
Revelation to them because Jesus said
the church would be built on Revelation
knowledge open up that Revelation that
will make them effective in their world
of influence in Jesus name we pray Matt
Kendall and I agree in jesus’ name that
this is done amen am amen amen when we
come back we’re going to have one more
final segment so that you can see how
God is using Everyday People like
yourself to change lives all over the
world you don’t want to miss it we’ll be
right back on the
difference I’m so grateful that I chose
differently I’m so happy that I chose
you I get to see you become the person
God intended you to be I’m grateful for
sanctuary of Hope For Preparing Me for
guiding
me most importantly sanctuary of Hope is
my safe place it’s where I can lay my
baby’s head down and know that God has
his shield of protection over us thank

you need to make it a reality our part
is to stay close to his word if God

or visit jhm.org
sdream would you just close our program
by praying for people who are watching
that not only would they be encouraged
but that they wouldn’t give up and that
they would recognize that God’s plan and
purpose for them is greater than they
could ask think or imagine absolutely
you know reminded father in jesus’ name
of what the Apostle Paul wrote he said
that he would keep you strong to the end
that you might be found blameless on the
day of our Lord Jesus Christ for it is
God who works in you my brother and
sister not only just to will to do his
will but to do it so father I am asking
that your empowerment the spirit of the
Living God would be upon every man and
woman that is watching right now I speak
strength into your heart I speak
strength into your mind I speak in
jesus’ name endurance into your life
Jesus prayed not that Peter would avoid
the trial but that he would not lose his
faith so father I pray that Faith would
actually grow when the enemy tries to
discourage when the enemy tries to throw
down when the enemy tries to stop which
he will not do with any brother or
sister watching this program right now I
pray that their faith would not fail but
actually that their faith would grow and
mature and develop through these
situations and so Lord God in jesus’
name we pray today that every single
person watching this program would now
not only discover their gifts and
operate in their unique giftings that
you place on their life but that they
would multiply them for your glory honor
and praise in Jesus mighty name amen
amen amen kend I want to thank you for
joining us today today we want to thank
you for all that you do to make an
impact for God’s glory on this Earth the

potential God bless you and thank you

from John bav and Matt I so enjoy just
sitting there taking in all the
information from them about god-given
potential each of us has god-given
potential that we have with inside of us

stay-at-home moms those doctors those
nurses those lawyers you have a gift
