Sparks from God's Heart
Hearts of Fire International was birthed from two Divine questions: “Who heals My healers?” and “Who strengthens My generals? We have aspired to respond gracefully, not just with words, but by following Jesus’ example in scripture: what we see Him do, we join Him in doing (Jn. 5:19); what we hear Him say, we amplify by speaking (Mat. 10:27). More than a podcast, “Sparks from God’s Heart” is a living chronicle to ignite the hearts of all ministers with fresh fire by sharing the things we have seen and heard (Acts 4:20). Our words and teachings flow from an Apostolic/Prophetic Five-Fold Ministry anointing with one purpose: to equip you, His saints, to grow and operate fully in your ministry and callings (Eph. 4:11-12). We hope you will join us regularly for more “SPARKS” to keep your heart ignited with FRESH FIRE!

I’m so glad Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice (Jn. 10:27).” When He speaks to me, I’m reminded of the Twenty-Third Psalm and how comforted and protected I feel, knowing He is MY Shepherd and He is so close to me, I can hear His every word.
This message began as I was praying about some health issues and felt very impressed to call out a spirit of cancer and curse that demonic spirit at the roots. As I did that, I heard the Lor...
We live in a divided world. Everyone has an opinion, yet there seems to be little or no agreement on anything. And now that we have social media, the variety and sheer number of opposing thoughts we and our children encounter daily has increased exponentially. The Apostle Paul also lived in a divided world, yet he carried a message from God that was so powerful, he was able to shift the narrative of his day from “what we believe...

Jesus said in John 16, that the Holy Spirit would tell us things to come. It has become our yearly tradition to gather after the New Year and share what we have heard the Holy Spirit tell us about the coming year. When we came together this year, we heard some interesting things about 2023 and felt impressed by the Lord to share them with you. Be blessed as you listen! Steve & Varvah
Session 1: Identifying and breaking ancestral bondages and curses.
God’s plan from the beginning was to make man like Him. When we surrender our hearts and lives to Christ, the Holy Spirit comes in and we become “born-again” believers. Our spirit is fully saved, but our soul (our mind, will and emotions) begin the process of salvation and must be renewed daily so we can think, speak, and act like our Lord. But we still carry hurt...

Session 5: What is required to experience and sustain true inner healing and deliverance vs. what is required to experience and sustain true revival and a major outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Steve & Varvah present a unique look at some striking contrasts and similarities between true inner healing and deliverance vs. true revival and a major outpouring of the Holy Spirit. May you be blessed and enriched as this teaching series...

Not only was this particular Gathering the eighth and final session in our series, but it was also Palm Sunday. We were amazed how the Holy Spirit weaved deep insight on Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem together with practical teaching and actual practice of doing inner healing. Varvah concluded this series with a heartfelt invitation to those who might like to join her in helping heal the souls of so many others needing t...
I heard the Lord say, “My people need to focus their hearts and minds much more on Who I am, rather than what I do.” If you’re like me, you probably spend too much of your prayer time telling the Lord what you need Him to do and not enough focusing on Who He is. I experienced a breakthrough in my spiritual life when I realized everything he DOES comes forth from the reality of Who He IS. I also discovered that when I learn Who G...
I heard the Lord say, “My people need to focus their hearts and minds much more on Who I am, rather than what I do.” In this second revelation of seeing God as The Great “I AM,” we focus on how we PLEASE GOD when we come to Him, as Enoch and Jesus did, and “believe that HE IS.” Then, "I AM" becomes MY Rewarder for diligently seeking Him! Be blessed as you listen! Steve & Varvah
I heard the Lord say, “My people need to focus their hearts and minds much more on Who I am, rather than what I do.” In this third revelation of seeing God as The Great “I AM,” we focus on the “I AM” words Jesus used in John 14, to encourage and commission His disciples. When Judas and the soldiers approached to arrest Jesus in John 18, He asked the world’s greatest question: “Whom are you seeking?” When they responded, “Jesus o...
This insightful study compares the process of crowning and anointing kings over a natural kingdom (like King Charles of England) in contrast with the process of Christ making us kings and priests over God’s Spiritual Kingdom. Earthly kings and priests follow a natural linage of flesh and law, but we follow Christ in a supernatural linage of Spirit and grace, after the order Melchizedek, who come not in the temporal power of fleshl...
A personal account of falling deeply in love with Jesus. Plus, an invitation to join with us in prayer for our State of California. Abba, California belongs to You!
What did James mean when he said, "The effective, fervent prayers of a righteous man avails much?" Are some prayers more powerful than others? Do you know how to pray with the same Kingdom authority that Jesus did? At the conclusion, we invite you to join with us in praying for an outpouring in our/your state. Steve & Varvah
Jesus told us in this world, WE WILL HAVE TROUBLE and TRIBULATION! But Jesus has already overcome the world and He has given us the key to OVERCOMING anything the world and the enemy would try to throw at us. But do you know what that key is and how to use it? You will want to pay very close attention to this podcast! We know it will bless, empower, and renew your PEACE! Steve & Varvah
I heard the Lord say, “It's time to talk about the relationship between your health and your thinking.” This message builds on a previous message: “Being an OVERCOMER!” We offer valuable personal experience on how we have learned to control runaway thoughts and fears. God has destined you to be an OVERCOMER! Blessings, Steve & Varvah

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
