About Brian Simmons
Brian and Candice Simmons have been described as true pioneers in ministry. Their teaching and spiritual gifts have opened doors into several nations to bring the message of authentic awakening and revival to many. For the last forty years, they have labored together to present Christ in his fullness wherever God sends them.
Dr. Simmons is also the lead translator of The Passion Translation. The Passion Translation (TPT) is a heart-level translation that uses Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic manuscripts to express God's fiery heart of love to this generation, merging the emotion and life-changing truth of God's Word. The hope for TPT is to trigger inside every reader an overwhelming response to the truth of the Bible and to reveal the deep mysteries of the Scriptures in the love language of God, the language of the heart. Brian is currently translating the Old Testament. Most recent releases include Genesis: Firstfruits and Isaiah: The Vision.
After a dramatic conversion to Christ in 1971, Brian and Candice answered the call of God to leave everything behind and become missionaries to unreached peoples. Taking their three children to the jungle of Central America, they planted churches for many years with the Paya-Kuna people group. Dr. Simmons established leadership for the churches that Jesus birthed and assisted with the translation of the Paya-Kuna New Testament.
After their ministry overseas, Brian and Candice returned to North America, where Brian began to passionately work toward helping people encounter the risen Christ. Brian and Candice planted numerous ministries, including a dynamic church in Connecticut. They also established Passion & Fire Ministries, under which they travel full time as Bible teachers in service of local churches throughout the world.
Brian is the author of numerous books, Bible studies, and devotionals that help readers encounter God's heart and experience a deeper revelation of God as our Bridgegroom King, including I Hear His Whisper: Encounter God's Heart for You, 365 Daily Devotions, Prayers on Fire: 365 Days Praying the Psalms, The Image Maker, The Wilderness: Where Miracles Are Born, and The Sacred Journey.
Brian and Candice have been married for more than forty-eight years and have three children, six grandchildren, and three precious great-grandchildren. Their passion is to live as loving examples of a spiritual father and mother to our generation.

Blog postIf you met Jesus in my last blog, you know by now how important He is to you along your journey to your destiny and eternal life with Him. As Jesus walked on this earth for thirty-three years, He experienced and witnessed all areas of human life. He certainly gained a personal understanding of man’s frailties and weaknesses.

Blog postIn Job 22:28 it says:
“Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.”
Job 22:28 KJV So what exactly is a “decree”? Webster’s dictionary defines it like this: “An official order issued by a legal authority.”
When it comes to the Bible we need to look at what Jesus said about our authority as believers. He told his disciples before he left earth that he was delegating his authority to them – and thus, all b4 weeks ago Read more -

Blog postThe Book of Proverbs has hidden within it the treasure of wisdom with the power to radically transform our lives.
“Within these sayings will be found the revelation of wisdom and the impartation of spiritual understanding. Use them as keys to unlock the treasures of true knowledge.”
Proverbs 1:2 TPT Yet, though it’s within arm’s reach, many miss wisdom’s treasure.
“You will hear wisdom’s warning as she preaches courageously to those who stop to listen…”

It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father wh2 months ago Read more

Blog postIt was our very first visit to the jungle. We were finally moving in among the Kuna people as tribal missionaries, after years of prayer and preparation. The hour-and-a-half flight took us into some of the deepest parts of the Darién Gap, a dense tropical rainforest that covers large portions of Panama and Colombia. Our hearts were pounding as we stepped down out of the Cessna 185 bush plane. We were now in our new home, the Paya-Kuna tribal village of Pucuro!

Blog postFrom the moment we are born, the words spoken over us begin to mold our identity, for better or for worse. Relatives, teachers, and peers comment on our appearance, our character, and our personality. As we grow, these words build an image of who we are, or more accurately, who we think we are or should be.
The reality that words have the power to identify and shape us first struck me while I was researching more effective ways to reach people in my generation. As I brainstormed, I re3 months ago Read more -
Blog postA question people often ask me goes something like this, “Why does God need our prayers anyway?“ Have you ever wondered why God seems so intent on having us pray for every single thing? Is he not sovereign and merciful and willing to take care of everything, regardless of whether his people ask him each time?

Blog post“When Jacob awoke from his dream, he was overcome with awe and said, ‘Yahweh is here!

This place is a portal, the very gate of heaven!'”
