“What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and yet lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36)
Hi! My name is Bert Farias. I’m a son of first generation Portuguese immigrants. I was raised as a devout Roman Catholic, very learned in all the Catholic sacraments, traditions, and prayers. I was thoroughly converted at 22 years of age when JESUS became real to me. I left everything to follow Him. I packed 5 suitcases full of my belongings, got on a bus, and moved half way across the country, where I knew not a soul, to study the Bible. Then God baptized me in fire and sent me forth as a missionary and zealous street preacher.
I’ve preached on the streets, in the open air, taught in Bible schools, and preached around the world. I speak in churches and in other nations, with a passion to know JESUS more and to make Him known.
I’m also an author of several books and a blogger with a focus on doing my part to help restore the real spirit of Christianity in the Church today.
I try to live soberly knowing that all of humanity lives one heartbeat away from eternity. The guilty sinners who’ve not yet come into a saving knowledge and obedience to Jesus Christ live in a state of constant danger. It is painful to watch the multitudes give themselves over to sin, humanistic philosophies, empty and dead religions, and demonic agendas. Knowing that I was headed in the same aimless direction, I offer people truth and mercy.
The purpose of this blog is to inspire passion and devotion to Jesus Christ, and to encourage you to set your affections on things above. What I write is for serious believers only and for those who want to truly follow Jesus Christ.

May God multiply His grace in your life to love Him more and more.
“The depth of devotion to God – without this depth our crying out of other depths will never be heard.” Sir Richard Baker (1568-1645)
Dear Bert,
I recently found your website and appreciate your preaching on holiness. You may be interested in our website http://www.ChristCrucified.info. It contains podcasts and teachings on how to walk in holiness. Many Christians want to live in sanctification but don’t know how. You may also be interested in some of the prophetic visions that we have posted. We read the 90 year old Norwegian woman’s prophetic vision, and it reminded us of what the Lord has shown us. May the Lord continue to guide you and reveal Himself to you.
In His service,
Peter
Thank you for your comments! And thank you for the link. I’ll check it out.
Be blessed!

I tried to sign up for your news letter link didn’t work!
Sorry for your troubles. We will fix it.
I have often prayed for and longed for a restoration of the revival fire we had during the charismatic 70s…. so I’m excited to find your ministry. I think you will appreciate the anointing on this song by Terry MacAlmon:
Dave Engle
Thanks for the follow, and the song. God bless you brother.
We are on vacation; on assignment. I found you on FB via Charisma. I have read some of your writings to my husband. Our condo is super charged with Holy Ghost fire! Can’t wait to get out and meet our God appointments for the day. Thank you Jesus for connecting us!
Love to hear that! I have a godly sort of jealousy for Holy Ghost and fire people. Thanks for connecting!
Enjoy your vacation, and keep burning with holy fire!
You have taken the words right from my mouth! This is one of my biggest pet peaves. This needs to be address and I thank you for being so candid. We Christians needs to be united, whether we agree with other denominations or not. There’s enough darkness in this world. We don’t need to feed into it.
Amen. Thanks for your comments!
Finally somebody that teaches the real gospel. There is so much nonsense and laziness out there. Nobody wants to fast and pray and sacrifice. Grace Grace and more grace; Jesus did it all. No wonder churches are not that full. I know many people now that are not in church cause they are all the same. Psychology catering to the flesh. We need to wake up and apply the bible to times today. I know now three people that teach the truth and you are one of them.
Keep up the good work. And by the way, I think that the Daniel Fast is nonsense because in the bible the word “fast” is mentioned in the context with no FOOD of any kind. Afflicting oneself. We do not want any pain of any kind but we want all of God’s perks without sacrificing ourselves.
We are weak and to be pitied.
Thanks for your encouraging comments. May God stir His Church, deliver the deceived, and bring home the prodigals.
Our church does the Daniel Fast every year. To me, it’s just a change of diet. I usually drink only water, no food, when I fast. I recently saw where the Jewish people fast for 25 hours, with no food and no water. They do hydrate with water before the fast.
I want to try that.
Thank God for the ministry to which the Lord has entrusted unto you! I remember when you came to Bethel World Outreach Church – Silver Spring (under Pastor Darlingston Johnson – now Presiding Prelate Darlingston G. Johnson, D. Min, D. Div. and First Lady Pastor Chrysanthe Johnson, M.A., in 1997 for an Open Air Revival in Downtown Silver Spring by City Place Mall. Thank God for the flame God used you to start in me and my Mommy…God bless you, your wife and your son (and other children)! Thank God for the Cross, Thank God for the Blood of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
In the Holy Presence and Mighty Power of God the Father-Daddy-Abba, God the Son – The Lord Jesus Christ our personal Lord and Saviour, and God the Holy Spirit – our Paraclete, Comforter, Encourager, and the Convictor of sin, righteousness, and judgment,
Evangelist Esther Sunday Eyere.
Amen, Sir.
God bless you. Thanks for the encouragement.
You are welcome, Sir…God bless you, prosper you and protect you. Read/Study Psalm 51 and Psalm 37.
EEE
Amen.

Our policy is we cannot consider any invitations unless the hosts are willing to cover our travel expenses and receive a love offering for the ministry. We do not travel at our own expense. I trust you understand.
Blessings!
Your blogsite first drew my attention because a respected Brother in the Lord likes your blogs. Then, when I read your introduction of yourself, I felt led to subscribe. How often and when do you post your blog? I will look forward to reading what you share…
Thanks for your interest in our blog. I try to post a couple of times a week – no set times.
Thank you for your wonderful Prophetic ministry. It is Cutting-Edge according to me. I am blessed when ever I see you E-mail posts. Very profound in hitting with the basic truths and exhorting it to be practiced for power. YOU ARE A BLESSING! Much Love and Blessings….

Thank you for sharing. We appreciate the encouragement and are so happy you are being helped and blessed by these blogs.
I found your site with the latest Charisma Magazine article.
My pastor once a year does a series of popular movies for sermons for a month, complete with actors and costumes.
After sitting through 5 of these of 5 Sundays in a row, I realized how weak the messages were, like, “Love those who love you.”
I said to a friend, “I can stay home and read a good Christian book and get a lot more inspiration from it, than these movies.”
Then Father God spoke to me and told me to write out a message from Father God and give it to this pastor, so I did.
The message was: “Father God says to you that when you feed people Jesus and the Bible, you are feeding them steaks. When you feed people movies, you are feeding them, but you are feeding them crumbs.” A year later, this same pastor had his regular 5 weeks of movies again. I have left that church for a better church. People need to find a church where their soul can grow in God. This pastor watches a lot of the popular movies, and then he tries to come up with some kind of sermon from them. He wants the church to grow, and he thinks that entertaining them with movies will help. Sad. Sad. Very Sad.
You did the right thing in leaving. Good for you! How sad and utterly pathetic your example is.
Thank you for your reply. Velma
YOU’RE WELCOME!
Hi Bert, I’ve appreciated your books and your blog. Would you mind sharing sometime your baptism of fire?
On the night of my official ordination I was in the Spirit and heard a blazing forest fire crackling in my belly (spirit). Then I had a vision/dream of myself kneeling in a large dry grassy field with young men lighting fires behind me. I felt the heat of those fires creeping up closer to me until I could not stand the heat any more and ran into a house. I knew shortly after this encounter that I was giving birth to a ministry of fire.
The word of the Lord came unto me during that same time. That word of prophecy is posted on the home page of our website.
Glad you are enjoying our books and blog. Blessings to you!
I love the Passion and fire of God burning in you as you serve in the kingdom, I am dying to be baptized in the spirit the power of God.I want to serve in kingdom but I can’t without holy spirit directing,guiding and working in me.I believe will learn much from you.God bless you & your family
Thank you for sharing your comments Michelle! Have you not received your prayer language yet? If not, just receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and begin speaking in other tongues (Acts 2:4). Here is an instructional video by a good friend of mine that should help you receive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmGXdyGGpGk
I wish to share with you about preparing for our Lord’ return?
Sure!
Hello,
I just want to buy your CD “House of Fire” package, but do not know how.
I live in Norway and would like to have the package urgently. I want to receive your answer by email “tabovege@yahoo.com”. Thank you very much.
Boneza T. Rumvegeri
Hello Boneza,
I’ve asked Sid Roth’s ministry to contact you. They are the ones who are selling this package.
Thanks,
Bert
Hello, I watched you from Sid Roth and loved to hear you preach or write a blog about the difference of forgiveness and reconciliation , my question is ,it is possible to forgive without restoring former relationship (e.g about friendship)
Thanks so much,,,
Thanks for watching the show! I believe you can indeed forgive without being restored in friendship. Not everyone can be a friend.
Hi Mr. Farias
I saw you on it’s supernatural. And i just wanted to share a vision that God has given me and other men of God. “I had a vision about 10 years ago that God’s presence would be so heavy in Aruba that before the poeple steped out of the air port that they would be convicted of sin and repent before God.” I never heard about the testemony of New England. But its great to know that He has done it in the past and that He will do it in Aruba.
Amen, I believe it! Thanks for sharing.
Dear Bert
Thank for sharing in your blog. I found you via Sid Roth.
I sense some of your messages are prophetic. Do consider
sharing those messages to Elijah List and/or Global Prophetic
Voice. I.e.
http://www.elijahlist.com/words/
http://globalpropheticvoice.com/index.php/prophetic-words-and-articles/prophetic-words/prophetic-words-new
In Jesus, RSC
And how would I do that? Feel free to re-blog those you consider prophetic.
I never submitted a word, but Elijah List email is
info@elijahlist.net
and submitting a word at Global Prophetic voice is at
http://globalpropheticvoice.com/index.php/prophetic-words-and-articles/submit-a-prophetic-word
Do you see someone(s) that you know personally on either
list (two links in my first post)? Ask him/her(them) to help
you “connect” with that prophetic word list.
In Jesus, RSC
We will love to take your teachings to Cfaith Radio – http://www.cfaithradio.com Kindly advice us on how to go about getting your messages. Thank you.
We don’t have too many audio messages. Mostly books and articles. Will be doing short video teachings this year.
This is not a comment but a Prayer Request my prayer request is for God to put the missing body parts from heaven in my body.
Mark 10:27 – Creative miracles are in the plan of redemption and in the mind of God. Only believe.
This is not a comment but a prayer request I really need prayer for God to remove any powerful demonic control out of the thoughts in my heart and for God to remove any satanic possession out of my soul and body
I will agree with you in this prayer request. But Jesus has given the least of all saints authority over all the works of the devil (Mk. 16:17)(Lk. 10:19)(Jam. 4:7)(1 Pet. 5:9). Use your God-invested authority and break his power over your life. You are God’s child and the devil has no right to trespass. Command him to leave! May God’s grace abound and empower you to victory in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Be free and blessed!
I saw you on Sid Roth, ordered the book and CDs and I’m not quite the same since I’ve read. I consider myself Spirit-filled and constantly talk to HolySpirit and He even rests on me at night when I’m sleep. And when I am still I am still(and awake) I can sense His presence. I like to think we’re pretty close….but when I read The Real Spirit of Revival. I fell into so much repentance and I welcomed all of it. I had so many supernatural experiences during the week of reading that book. My belly was filled with light like I’ve not experienced before. As I slept I heard heaven worshipping between my ears apart from my own thought and understanding. i kept anticipating Jesus, himself, to walk into my bedroom and have a conversation with me literally. Ordering the book for anyone who will listen to my story and find it interesting. But with all of His presence I still don’t feel the intimacy that I need for the daily answer to get through new problems and resolve others. I’ve ordered your book on pray, but might you have any suggestions that has gotten you over some humps in your supernatural, Spirit – filled walk?
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful testimony! Wow! The book on prayer will definitely shed light in some areas of your walk with God and help you see things perhaps from a different perspective.
As for suggestions, the key for me is to place all my expectation on the Lord and not on myself. Beware of the wiles of the devil who is constantly bombarding us with thoughts of insufficiency trying to do better, be better etc., so that we can continue on the treadmill of striving, and place the sufficiency on ourselves instead of on Christ. If he can keep you in a place of trusting in yourself he will severed you from that abiding relationship that He has called us to.
Unless you abide in Me (Jn. 15)… Hope this helps you to enter more deeply into His Divine rest and the sufficiency that is found is His own finished work.
Abundant grace to you, brother and thanks again for your readership and sharing the testimony of how the book blessed you.
I meditated on your reply about trusting more in God than myself and how the enemy will have me to keep striving and so on…. And you were so right! Once I mulled it over I realized I can finally rest and not only that but, I have to rest. I give all glory to God and many thanks to you for being used of the Lord. As a body there are many of us who are starved for more of God and more understanding and we have limited mentors and coaches to mature us and thrust is into the next level. I just say thank you for your reply and may the Lord richly bless you and your family.
I’m so glad you were helped and encouraged! Thanks for letting us know. Continued grace and peace to you as you set you set your heart on Him.
Hello, my name is Ilva. I am European married to a Malaysian Chinese and living in Malaysia… I became a Christian 5 years ago and since then…. well… I have made many mistakes and I don’t know what to do. To be honest, I live in fear. I really do. My biggest fear is that i somehow have committed the unpardonable sin which is the blasphemy against The Holy Spirit…
Do you have an email address where I could contact you? Or I leave mine and please reply? I wrote to your 2 facebook pages as well, but no reply… I am deperate and I need help. Please, help me. Ilva
Ilva! I responded to you via our ministry Facebook page. Be assured that you have not committed the unpardonable sin because you still care. People who commit this sin do not care and are not concerned or asking if they have. Do not fear. Be at peace.
Trust the Lord for your protection. Plead the Blood of Jesus over your children and situation. Find a godly pastor or other saints who know the Lord and His Word that you can confide in and be strengthened by their counsel.
Follow the Lord.
Abundant grace and peace from our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be multiplied to you.
Dear Bert.
I appreciate your comments on Ted Cruz. Sadly, the article in Charisma had no real way to contact you. Facebook, Twitter, etc. are all government created and compromised and used to get every bit of data about everyone. Surely you know how compromised Facebook is by several government agencies CIA, NSA, etc., as well as foreign nations – China, for one, which pays facebook owner, etc. for data and information on ALL people using facebook.
As a supporter and hopeful constituent of Sen. Cruz, I have followed him for some time. I would very much appreciate hearing from you and sharing/discussing Cruz, the state of the elections, our nation, etc.
Blessings and shalom,
Hi Marcia,
I use FB and Twitter as a pulpit to proclaim the word of the Lord, so no worries there. Both God’s friends and enemies are hearing the gospel.
As for Cruz, the elections, and our nation, my hope is no longer in any of it, but our only hope must be in the kingdom of God. Of course, it is to the advantage of all peoples of all nations if America prospers, for it has been a launching place for the gospel for many, many years. I’m holding out hope that God turns things around and will make America an instrument of His will one more time.
Many are saying and prophesying that Donald Trump will be our next president and will transform America once more and will expose her wickedness and rid her of her wicked systems. I’d like to believe that and hope it is so. The Church and America has clearly shown it is not ready for Ted Cruz though he was my clear choice and the more principled man.
Let us judge ourselves, walk in our integrity, and remain watchful and prayerful.
God bless you.
This is not a comment but a prayer request please pray that God will pour eternal hope and everlasting hope into my spirit and soul
Please pray that Jesus Christ will cast Satans legion of demons out of my heart soul and spirit
gosto muito deste ministerio, espero ver a mão de Deus neste ministerio
Que Deus te abensõe.
Obrigado para su encorajemente.
I was saved out of the catholic religion too at 23. I’m 55 now. I want desperate to know JESUS more. i am Looking forward to meeting you this Friday at Southeast Chritian center. In Portland Oregon
Philip
Knowing Him is eternal life (Jn. 17:3). See you soon brother! Thanks for sharing.
Please pray that The Holy Spirit will forgive me of every sin I may of committed against him in thought word or deed and spare my life
Oh, dear one, He will always forgive those who repent and call on His name. Make sure you do that and read the Holy Bible.
Please pray that God will cast satan out of my heart and soul and for the Holy Spirit to spare my life
God expects all born again believers to do something about the devil. We have authority over the devil 1 Pt. 5:8, Jam. 4:7, Lk. 10:19, Mk. 16:17. If you’re in sin you don’t have authority. Repent and get back into right standing with God. You’ll be glad you did and your life will change.
Please pray that God will remove this bone shrinkage disease out of my body once and for all.
Put your hands on your own body and say this with faith: “I release the power of God into my body to effect a healing and a cure in my bones in Jesus Name.” Now continue to say: “The healing power of God is now in my body and t’s working to effect a healing and a cure.” Keep saying that and you will see the shrinkage stop and the curse reversed.
Only believe. God bless you.
I need prayer that God will forgive me and will longer use me as a vessel of his awful wrath and punishment as described in Romans but instead use me as a vessel of his loving kindness forgiveness and mercy to all those who know me!!!
If you’ve repented the Lord will forgive you. He is good and His mercy endures forever.
Please pray that God will cast all guilt and and satans evil spirit of confusion out of my heart body and soul
If you are born again and in Christ, you are the custodian of your heart, body, and soul. God has given you authority over all the works of the devil (Lk. 10:19) (Jam. 4:7) 1 Pt. 5:8-9) (Mk. 16:15-18). Submit to God and resist the devil in Jesus’ Name. If it’s a flesh problem, then crucify your flesh according to the word of God (Rom. 8).
Bert
I too am a son of first generation Portuguese from the Azores!
Found Jesus in 1980 after a devout Roman Catholic life. I am very appreciative of your post and would be honored to connect. I am part of s church in Corona California called the Gathering and would ask you to pray to see if the Lord will allow you to come and share with us!
Dear brother, I’m so delighted to connect with a fellow Azoriano! We have similar testimonies in that I was also found Jesus in 1980 out of a devout Roman Catholic family. I’d be honored to consider your invitation to come and share at The Gathering. Please send me the details and the best way to communicate with you. Thanks for getting in touch!
Dear Brother Bert, Thank You for agreeing with me in the following prayer: Father, I believe You are working according to Is. 49:24-25 “…Even the LAWFUL CAPTIVES of the mighty man (through IMKJM, LPLN and families Lobo Meza. Marin Olivas, Juan Manuel Gutierrez’ and Castañeda Aguilera, as main heads of evil operations) will be taken away, and the tyrant’s SPOILS OF WAR WILL BE RESCUED; For I (says The Lord) WILL CONTEND WITH YOUR OPPONENT,and I WILL SAVE YOUR CHILDREN… WILL GRANT YOU JUSTICE SPEEDILY… KM, AE, FJ, ChS, LHW, KEW, JMH, OD, MES, MEG… XG,NG,VS,D,I
* Thank You Lord for Your breakthrough in all concerning my family. Lk.18:7-8
Father, now I plead, in Jesus name, give me the needed answers, show me the right direction, unfold the parts of Your plan before me and the next steps… tell me exactly what Jesus would say to me right now if He were here in the earth to fulfill His destiny for me and reach my next destination directly, timely.
* Father, I plead Jesus Blood over our Salvation, Your purpose, Your Blessings for us, over Your Answers to our prayers and over our prayers made according to Your Word, heart and purpose for us. 2Co10:3-6, Jn14:20-21 In Jesus Name Amen! Ps.138:8 91, 23, 112, 140, 27
I believe You DO accomplish all that which concerns my family and I… 😀 In Jesus Name!!
I agree with this request whole-heartedly. Amen. So be it, in Jesus Christ’s Name!
Great testimony…amazing how God transforms lives…looking forward to reading more. God bless.
Thank you for your readership. Remain blessed.
Pray that The Holy Spirit will forgive me and spare my life and give me another chance
If any man confess his sin He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
He is faithful and just and merciful. Trust Him.
Hi Bert. I just want to say how much I appreciate what you write- mostly I have read your posts on ‘Charisma’. I live in New South Wales, Australia- it’s good to be encouraged in the Truth wherever we are! God bless and keep you
Jeremy! It’s always encouraging to hear from readers on the other side of our globe. Thanks for sharing. Pass these truths on to your mates in the down-under nation. (-:
God bless you richly.

Dear Bert,
I’ve just read your latest article about prayer in Charisma. Such a challenging article! I’m 52 now a. D was saved at 18 in a Pentecostal church in Birmingham UK. I many of Bro Hagin’s books that blessed and challenged me but along with them, O e of THE things that taught me to pray were 3 elderly sisters in the church. One of them (the pastor’s wife & an ex missionary) told me to get my sermon preparation out the way quick and then spend the rest of the time praying not perfecting the sermon, to pray for the anointing. One of the other sisters would usually end up either laughing or weeping at the end of her prayer. She walked with God and took me under her wing.
I love and appreciate small groups in the church but hearing someonget hold of God, to pray His word and promises seems a rare thing nowadays. How right you are! We need those experienced in prayer to teach this generation to pray. Not just by reading about prayer but by seeing people pray.
Thanks for throwing down a gauntlet as it were!
Dear brother,
Happy to hear your testimony and the accord we share. There is no substitute for the anointing to minister that comes from the anointing in prayer. And to your point, it is caught more than taught.
Thanks for sharing.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FIRE and PASSION for the things of God. Just discovered your blog. I live in Mexico and I am so excited to live in these end times, knowing that like the meat sacrificed before the ark, and the Showbread, I will be preserved unto the Lord for such a time as this. False idols can be made of stone, or a favorite sports team, or a favorite news channel. Good said: “I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you. “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent. For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.” Acts 17:22-31
Thank you for the follow and for your heart for the Lord. May God use you in this hour to glorify Him and touch many lives. Grace and peace to you and many blessings!
