Hearing & Obeying

What is the secret to success?  How do I become a person so ready, so positioned for God to use me to do extraordinary things?  While God uses 'normal' people every day, that doesn't mean that God uses unprepared people.  No, in actuality God never acts independently upon this earth; otherwise there would be no use for us!  God needs someone on this earth who dares to dream and live for the purpose of Heaven, but the requirement for this privilege is that we learn to hear and obey. When God speaks a word to you, reason is never required.  The Bible says obedience is better than sacrifice.

What are the consequences of not obeying?

One, you miss out on the blessing of God.
Two, you become 'stuck' in life because one instruction leads to another.  Some people live here, 'stuck' on a level that they were only supposed to pass through, thereby denying the full potential inside of them to accomplish the Kingdom Mandate.
This is actually an exciting thing to hear a word from our Creator and then act upon it!  What a privilege!  There is no limit to what God can do through you.  I believe that this is left up to us.  So after hearing and obeying one word from God, that obedient response will lead you to the next instruction.  There is no speed limit to how fast God can move through your life.  He can move instantaneously or generationally.  I believe that God's speediness to act upon our situation has a lot to do with our response to His word. We have only ONE life to fulfill all we can for the Kingdom of God, so develop your ability to hear and obey.
This is the secret to your success!  Live it to fullest!
 

The Ignition

I was on a 40 day fast sometime back and I was seeking God to start a revival in our youth culture.  When you go on an extended fast God begins to change your entire mindset about yourself, your surroundings, and fills you with an insatiable desire to leave an impact in the world.  You begin to cry about things you used to laugh about and laugh about things you used to cry about.  This is because you are trading your carnal mindset for a heavenly one which is filled with the capacity to believe and stand to make a lasting impact in the world for the cause of Christ.  It was during this fast that the Lord spoke to me to become the ignition to this revival that I was crying out for.  So I researched the term ignition and found some pretty profound definitions.
1. The act of setting something on fire or starting to burn.
2. A switch that activates a system.
 
 
We must be people that live sensitively to God's voice.  We must live so close to Jesus that we are positined to be the ignition that starts a revival of prayer, fasting, and living for God full-stop.  I believe that we are going to raise up a generation that is earnestly drawing near to God's heart in passion and purpose.  One great quote that really inspires me is:
"Lord, make me a crisis man.  Let me not be a milepost on a single road, but make me a fork that men must turn one way or another in facing Christ in me."
- Jim Elliot  American missionary martyred in Equador
We must let this be the fuel to seek God to awaken a generation.  OUR GENERATION!  Become the ignition in your home or in your youth group.  Don't live your life for nothing, but ask God to use you to change this generation.  Become the ignition!
   

Jon's Story of Healing

 
     We are still giving God the glory for a miraculous healing that happened to a very special little boy named Jonathan Bollweg.  He is the son of Don and Lori Leasure and they attend INFERNO weekly, as well as Freedom Church.  Jonathan had been having headaches everyday for 3 months and doctors kept searching for the problem.  During this time, his family kept having him prayed over and were believing for God to heal him.  Jonathan was finally diagnosed with a blockage in his aquaduct which resulted in hydrocephalus.  (Basically, he had a blockage in his brain that caused swelling in the ventricles which enlarged them enormously.  This often results in brain damage and even death.)  Jonathan's parents had been driving him all the way to Cincinnati to Children's Hospital in an effort to get him the best care possible.  He had been for more testing on this particular day and had already left the hospital and was heading back to Pomeroy, OH, when his mother received a call to turn around immediately and to remain calm, but to bring Jonathan back as soon as possible.  Lori knew something was badly wrong as she turned her S.U.V. around and drove back to Children's Hospital, yet she had a peace that God was with them. 
    
     She took Jonathan to meet the doctor as requested and before that could happen, she received another call to get him to the E.R. IMMEDIATELY!  Now she was really concerned, yet she still had a knowing that God was with them.  Once in the E.R., doctors were astonished!!!  The testing from that very day had revealed lots of fluid on Jonathan's brain and such swelling that they expected to see a child that was comatose and near death.  This did not describe Jonathan at all!  He was still very active, even hyperactive, and very joyful.  His only symptom had been a headache.  He was admitted immediately that Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 pm.  Pastor Jordan Bradford and Pastor Isaac Bradford and Mrs. Kimberly Bradford went to visit him on Thursday night and COULD believe their eyes as they saw a very normal little boy playing with the tv remote and asking his mom to order more chicken nuggets as he continually jumped in and out of his hospital bed to get items to show them.  Jonathan told them all about the surgery he would have the next morning and explained that doctors would drill a hole all the way through his skull and into his brain to relieve the pressure. He also expressed that he was NOT scared.  He said that doctors told him he would be in the hospital at least 3 more days but he said he believed he would go home in only 2 days!  Friday morning finally came and by 7 am, Jonathan was in surgery while angels filled the operating room and the hands of the surgeons were guided by the Spirit of God. 
    
     The surgery was a great success and Jonathan was awake in just a few hours and progressed much more quickly than doctors predicted and he did in fact go home in only 2 days!  Wow - the faith of a child!  Jonathan is a regular part of the INFERNO Family and he is eager to show everyone the tiny scar on his head and tell them the miracle that he knows his Jesus did for him!  If you need a miracle, let the Jonathan's faith inspire you.
   

Inferno Youth Meets Darlene Zschech & Hillsong

         Sunday, October 11, 2009, was a landmark in the lives of INFERNO Youth.  Pastors Jordan Bradford, Isaac
Bradford & Raynarde Brown were privieged to meet the incredibly anointed Darlene Zschech and Hillsong. 
Also present were Sr. Pastor of Freedom Center Ministries, Michael Bradford and First Lady Kimberly Bradford.

This all came about by a chain of many answered prayers!  We will be posting all of these testimonies; you will
want to catch them ALL!   INFERNO Youth recently met recording artist William McDowell.  He is also the
worship pastor for The Gathering Place (TGP), Pastor Sam Hinn, in Orlando, FL.  Once a friendship spawned
with William,he felt impressed to connect INFERNO Youth with Darlene Zschech.  WOW – does God answer
prayers!!!   Mrs. Darlene was so kind as to pray over our leaders while they were there!  THINK ABOUT THAT: 
World renowned leaders praying or God’s blessing to be upon INFERNO Youth Ministries.  This is the woman
whom God gave the song “Shout To The Lord” to!


YOU WILL WANT TO CHECK-OUT THE VIDEO ON THIS WEB-SITE OF HILLSONG AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT INFERNO YOUTH MINISTRIES!

Pastor Jordan Bradford gave his testimony regarding the INFERNO while at Pastor Sam Hinn’s church.  The Gathering Place is a marvelous church with people that really
have the heart of Jesus!  Thank you, Pastor Sam!

Why is all of this happening for INFERNO Youth Ministries?  Because God has heard their prayers and has

seen their sacrifice.  INFERNO Youth Ministries cries out for the youth that have no voice, for the youth
that are fatherless, for the youth that are homeless and even hopeless!  All of Heaven is paying attention
to the light that is coming to this part of Appalachia as the darkness is being pushed back by a generation
that WILL!  They WILL stand for what is pure and righteous; they WILL go the distance it takes to reach
youth; they WILL obey the voice of the living God!  WILL YOU?
Will you help us change our world?  Not sure what you can do?  You can pray for INFERNO Youth
Ministries, you can pass the word along that there is a place for today’s youth to find deliverance and
acceptance, and you can click on the and give something to help youth find freedom from all
that plagues them today.  We have the answer – it is Jesus Christ – we just need your help!

Would you please pray with me now:  Lord Jesus, thank you for the good life that I am blessed with.  I am touched by the need of our youth culture today and I want to help.

Please enable me with the finances to be a blessing to INFERNO Youth Ministries.  I can’t go to Appalachia, but I can help those who are there fighting for this generation.  Your word declares You will give seed to the sower, I want to be a sower, please give me seed and I promise to sow it into the rich soil of INFERNO Youth Ministries.  Amen.
You cannot out-give God!  He multiplies whatever you give and then He gives it back to you.  If you have pledged to be a giver today – give and then EXPECT your own miracle!

We thank God for YOU!

Flame-On April Blog

flame-onblog

    April 29 - May 2, 2010, proved to be an awesome weekend at INFERNO Youth Ministries as we hosted our April Flame-On: Pastors Summit. Pastors, leaders and youth from all over the U.S. came to Middleport, OH and experienced a fresh word and an encounter with the Spirit of God as we have never seen poured out before!  Truly an AWAKENING has begun at IYM!

    We started on Thursday night with a bang as Pastor Michael Bradford, Sr. Pastor of Freedom Center Ministries delivered a timely and enlightening word to Pastors and Church leaders.  The message was "A WORD TO ANYONE CALLED TO LEAD ANYTHING!”  Then Friday morning, we were privileged once again to hear from Pastor Michael Bradford about "LEADERSHIP IS NOT FOR COWARDS!!!”  Pastor Michael has been raised up for such a time as this to train leaders!  He has a powerful story of deliverance from the chains of drugs and alcohol and inspires leaders to pursue their passion in Christ and pass it on!  It's time to STAND UP and STAND OUT and LEAD!!!  The world around us is searching frantically for anyone who will LEAD and the church has THE message they desire!

    Friday afternoon, Terry Tripp, from Nashville, TN, delivered a word from Heaven and told us to "LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP!”  It was incredible as the auditorium was filled with the glory of God and revelation broke out as Pastors and Leaders received a Rhema word!  Churches all over America were changed that day as an old passage of scripture manifested itself in a brand new way!

    Friday night began our Flame-On Conference and it was unbelievable!  Terry Tripp was the keynote speaker and he brought a magnificent word from his new book, called, "SHUT THE HELL UP!” meaning the hell in your life!  It is a provocative title but one that really relays the message that we have the authority to shut up all of the voices of Hell - if we know what to do! To order “Shut The Hell Up” click here.  

    Saturday morning’s session began with Mrs. Kimberly Bradford speaking about "THE THINGS THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT LEADERSHIP." It was a powerful word involving 7 things that were revealed by the Holy Spirit for this hour we are living in.

    INFERNO Youth Ministry's Pastor, Jordan Bradford, delivered a prophetic word for this generation on Saturday night that truly awakened everyone!  The Spirit of God was powerful and very present as countless numbers of lives were changed - some for the very first time!  True deliverance occurred from many addictions like homosexuality, drugs and depression just to name a few! God really spoke to the men in a profound way as groups of men came forward and received deliverance and then the women and youth followed!  It was incredible!  So many lives changed FOREVER!

    This Conference still wasn't over!  Sunday morning and Sunday night were the most amazing times in the presence of the Lord as Pastor Randy Cumpton and his wife, Patty, ministered!  The old time power of Pentecost exploded and once again - DELIVERANCE came flooding in!  Pastor & Mrs. Cumpton make their home in Springfield, MO.

    Judah Nation Band performed during the entire conference!  This powerfully anointed band is led by Pastor Isaac Bradford!  You will want to order the DVD’s of the conference just for the music alone.  Dynamic and awesome!

    Drama and dance energized the entire weekend as “Sanctify Drama Team" ministered along with our very own "Revolution Dance Team" here at IYM. 

    This April Flame-On 2010 will go down in history as God demonstrated His great power in the lives of countless individuals seeking change that only He could bring. Our cities, states and nation have been awakened! This is just the beginning! This fall is going to be another power-packed weekend as Tommy Tenney (author of God Chasers) will be joining us along with musical guests Ricky Simmons and many more to come! You don't want to miss it! Click Here for info.
