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 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 re1 week 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?

Blog postThroughout my years of travelling, I’ve often asked my audiences what their definition of “faithfulness” is. Common responses I’ve received have been “loyal,” “committed,” “consistent,” “reliable,” and “steadfast.” All these are accurate definitions; but there’s a word Jesus associates with faithfulness that I rarely hear: “multiplication.”

Psalm 38:9 TPT One of the most precious gifts I have been given is to know the Holy Spirit as my Comforter (John 14:26; Acts 9:31).

There is so much shaking and tension taking place all across the globe right now. And yet, the Spirit of God is moving among his people in new ways.

I believe it is time for us to rise up, take a stand on God’s Word, and partner with heaven’s agenda to bring reformation to society and revival to our land!

Blog post“I’m afraid I will miss God.”
I find this statement to be one of the most common concerns among the most selfless and tenderhearted Christians. On the surface, this fear of “missing God” sounds noble, but time has taught me that the enemy pounces on it, then uses it to entrap people. It is his ploy to make everything about our performance rather than our trust in God’s grace. It changes the focus to our ability to follow rather than his ability to lead.

Blog postSoundless prayers are often our most powerful ones. Voiceless utterances where we connect spirit to spirit with the Lord become some of our deepest encounters. Maybe it’s because all of us is poured out before the greatness of all of him. We’re completely open. Raw. There’s no pretense or desire to impress him with our eloquent words or lists of memorized Scripture. We simply exist. Fully yielded to the One who already knows.

Psalms: Poetry on Fire (The Passion Translation)
Sep 30, 2014
$8.99
Psalm 5:3 says, ³At each and every sunrise you will hear my voice as I prepare my sacrifice of prayer to you. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar and wait for your fire to fall upon my heart. Every emotion of our hearts is reflected in the Psalms with words that express our deepest and strongest feelings. Sighing is turned to singing and trouble into triumph. The Psalms provide comfort and joy, leading us to the place where worship flows. When discouraged or downcast, we can take new strength from reading them. They charge our batteries and fill our sails. Their thunder stirs us, and sweet melodies move us into the sacred emotions of a heart on fire. Dark rain clouds of grief turn to bright rainbows of hope as we meditate on Davids soul subduing songs. The Psalms are clearly poetic. They are praises placed inside poetry that spill out of a fiery passionate heart. The Psalms free us to become emotional, passionate, sincere worshippers. These 150 poetic masterpieces give us an expression of faith and worship. They become a mirror to the heart of Gods people in our quest to experience His presence.

Four hundred years of silence. Where was the promised Messiah? The Jewish people were waiting for word of the prophets to come true, for they prophesied that he would come. Then the angel Gabriel announced his birth. Wise men sought him. Herod wanted to kill him. John the Baptist presented him to Israel. God anointed him. Satan cruelly tempted him. Then the King came into the Jewish meeting house and announced: I am here! I have come to set you free and to wash away sins, And liberate those who love and follow me. It is believed that Matthew was the first apostle to write a gospel, possibly as early as 50 AD. He was a wealthy tax collector who profited greatly from his duty of representing Rome. And then one day, the Man from Galilee stood in front of him and said, Come follow me.
