Bill Johnson Teaching (Official)What is your motive for following Christ? In this full sermon, Bill Johnson brings us back to the simplicity of devotion to Christ and following Him. When the rich young ruler came to Jesus, Jesus didn’t entice Him with the rewards and blessings that would come, but He spoke straight to the young rulers heart. There is blessing and reward that comes as we follow Christ, but that must not be what motivates us. The foundation of our faith must be built upon a simple devotion and desire to be in relationship with Him.
Bill’s message follows a time of words of knowledge and prayer for healing.

#BillJohnson #BethelChurch #Rewards #MotivesWhy the Enemy Fears Your Peace and How to Maintain It - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel ChurchBill Johnson Teaching (Official)2024-10-21 | Bill Johnson teaches on the power of peace, why the enemy fears it, and how to maintain your peace in the midst of reasons for fear and anxiety. The enemy fears you walking in peace, and works to pull you out of peace through anxiety, fear, and ‘what-ifs’. Partnering with fear and anxiety keeps you from freely walking in your unique calling and authentic expression as a son or daughter of God. Bill Johnson teaches keys to walking in and remaining in the peace of Christ from Philippians 4: 8 and the life of Jesus. Walking in the peace of Christ keeps you firmly grounded in Him, and is stronger than the circumstances that surround you.

#BillJohnson #BethelChurch #PeaceHow to Discern the Movement of the Holy Spirit - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel ChurchBill Johnson Teaching (Official)2024-10-18 | Bill Johnson teaches how to discern the movement of the Holy Spirit. Understanding scripture is key in discerning how and when God is moving. Peter taught during the outpouring of the Spirit in Acts 2 from Joel’s prophecy. Though Joel’s prophecy did not specifically describe the manifestations of the Spirit that happened in Acts 2, the Holy Spirit revealed and confirmed it was in fact the moment that Joel’s prophecy was being fulfilled. It’s important that the fear of deception doesn’t hinder our pursuit of more of God. Bill Johnson teaches 3 principles for spiritual discernment and keeping yourself grounded in the truth of God’s Word so that you are not deceived.

#BillJohnson #BethelChurch #Prayer #CourageThe Privilege We Have to Sow Into the Next Generation - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel ChurchBill Johnson Teaching (Official)2024-10-11 | Bill Johnson teaches on the privilege we have to sow into the next generation. Teaching from the life of King David, Bill Johnson emphasizes the importance of a lifestyle of generosity and leaving an inheritance for future generations. Though David did not build the Temple himself, he generously supplied much of what was needed, setting Solomon up for great success. God’s Presence does not reside in a building, but He does honor what we dedicate to Him. Bill challenges listeners to live generously and conscious of the inheritance we are leaving for a future generation, but also challenges us to never give under manipulation or compulsion. True generosity can only come from a willing and pure heart, and is powerful when it is protected as a sacred gift to God.

It’s much too easy to grow out of passion, and to let our relationship with God and sacrifices to Him become routine. But God is calling us to refocus our hearts on Him and to be reawakened to the love and passion we first burned with for Him. The Apostle Paul talks about the “simplicity of devotion to Christ”. Everything that is important in our lives all comes down to this one thing - our first love for God and devotion to Him.

To be poor in spirit is to live in total dependence on God, aware of our desperate need for Him. Psalm 107 is filled with examples of people crying out to God in their time of need and how the Lord answered their prayer. This Psalm concludes with an urge to study and understand the wisdom in this chapter. No matter how rich or important a person may get, we never outgrow our need to trust in God. True wisdom and faith is to realize that everything comes from God, and that to live completely dependent on Him is to be empowered by His grace.

Cultivating an awareness of the presence of God must be our highest priority, because it’s in God’s presence we find peace, purpose, comfort, strength, and solutions for everything we face.

What happens when you don’t get the miracle you were praying for? Does God answer prayers? Does God still do miracles? Why didn’t my loved one get healed? How do you overcome disappointment?
Bill Johnson and Shaun Tabatt talk about their shared experience of their wives passing away from cancer and how to navigate disappointment and loss. Grief and mourning can either lead to the Comforter, or into unbelief, depending on your heart posture. Trusting God and staying close to Him positions you as a son or daughter to receive grace for every moment and find comfort for your heart in the midst of the many questions that can come when experiencing disappointment and loss.

#BillJohnson #BethelChurch #Hope #JoyHearing God’s Voice and Courage Are Connected to the Awe of God - Bill Johnson Sermon, Bethel ChurchBill Johnson Teaching (Official)2024-09-06 | Bill Johnson teaches how hearing God’s voice and courage are connected to staying in awe of God. Bill Johnson warns against losing the wonder and awe of God, because when we stop being impressed by who God is, we become susceptible to fear and anxiety and move out of courageous faith. Staying aware of God’s goodness and in awe of Him keeps us in a place of dependency and faith as we see His greatness and live expectant of what He will do in, through, and around us. Scripture instructs us to remember the testimonies and works of God, that we might know Him. Jesus also taught that remembering the works of God activates an ability to see and hear what God is doing and saying. Hearing God’s voice and walking in courage and faith are connected to staying in awe of God.

#BillJohnson #BethelChurch #Faith #Wonder #TestimonyCostly Prayers Shape History - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel ChurchBill Johnson Teaching (Official)2024-09-02 | Bill Johnson teaches on prayer, emphasizing the fact that costly prayers are the prayers that shape history. Token prayers get token answers, but it’s the prayers that go beyond convenience that move Heaven. Intercession is to stand in the gap between the living and the dead, and as sons and daughters of God, we have been invited and called into a co-laboring relationship, where through prayer, we partner with God to see His will done in the earth.

As we come to know God it can be easy to start to operate out of a formula rather than relationship, assuming we know what God’s will is in a certain situation. But following Christ is about listening for and following His voice. When we don’t get the answer to prayer we were hoping for, or a breakthrough is taking longer than we anticipated, don’t assume you know God’s will. Lean in to hear His voice. Hearing God’s voice leads us into faith.

Anyone can worship God when something good happens, but how can you praise God when things aren’t going your way? Praising God in the midst of difficulty establishes your trust in Him.

Bill also teaches on the connection between mental and emotional health and the scripture ‘Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks’.
Bill ends the message with a time of prayer, ministry, and praise to God in the midst of the difficult circumstances you may be facing.

We like the outcomes and the breakthroughs, but God values the journey. In seasons of waiting and delay, God is actually shaping our hearts and character in such a way as to form us into people who will steward well the breakthroughs when they come. Delays bring to the surface areas of our lives in which we don’t yet fully trust God. God allows these things to come up never to shame us, but to invite us into greater healing and freedom. It is in the journey that we become strengthened in the Lord and confident of His goodness.

Scripture talks about prosperity of soul and reigning in life and is full of wise teaching on how to do this. When we step into the abundance God has for us and walk in true prosperity of soul, our internal health and life affects our external world, including those around us. God designed us to thrive and planned that our lives would be a light for those walking in darkness. Bill shares four areas of life that, managed well, set us up to reign in life. Spiritual authority and reigning in life is never about ruling over people, but is always for the purpose of serving and empowering.

#BillJohnson #BethelChurch #HolySpirit #PowerOvercome Fear and Step Into Courage and Freedom - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel ChurchBill Johnson Teaching (Official)2024-08-02 | Bill Johnson talks about how to move from fear into courage and freedom. The fear of man is deeply rooted in every area of culture, but we cannot truly live with courage and freedom while we are primarily concerned with what people think about us. Only one opinion matters, and that is God’s. Overcoming the fear of man is not about becoming calloused or hardened towards people, but it is prioritizing and protecting our “yes” to God above all else. When we are truly submitted to God and what He has called us to, we will actually be better positioned to love and serve the people around us. Step into courage today.

#BillJohnson #BethelChurch #KingdomOfGodCommunity: Why Connection and Your Relationships Matter to God - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel ChurchBill Johnson Teaching (Official)2024-07-26 | Bill Johnson talks about community and why connection and your relationships matter to God. As the Body of Christ it is vital that we are connected with the other members. Building community is not always easy, and often the times we least want to be around people is when we need it the most. Fellowship is what we typically do when it’s most convenient, but the writer of Hebrews invites us a step further, calling us to sacrifice for the sake of connection. It’s not a sacrifice until it costs us. The reason that community is so important is that Christ is revealed through us coming together as one, and it is one of the main ways in which He keeps us healthy and growing. Western culture has celebrated and promoted individualism, and while it’s important that each of us has a personal relationship with God, we have not always stewarded well His heart for us to become one as His body. Learn God’s heart for community and lean into connection today.

Like Jesus, we are invited to say what the Father is saying as we yield to the Holy Spirit.

As he yielded his hard seasons to God, God shaped and matured his dreams far beyond personal fulfillment to become an integral part of the destiny of a nation. As you yield your dreams to God, He will upgrade your dreams and the favor on your life will bring blessing to the people around you.

#BillJohnson #BethelChurch #Faith #HolySpiritActivate Your Ability to Hear Gods Voice - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel ChurchBill Johnson Teaching (Official)2024-07-01 | Bill Johnson teaches on how to activate your ability to hear God’s voice. After feeding the 4000, Jesus asked His disciples - “Can’t you see? Can’t you hear? Can’t you remember?”. Often when facing difficulty, we find it hard to hear God’s voice, but remembering what God has done is key to activating our ability to see and hear what He is doing in a particular situation. Remembering His works reminds us of who He is and His faithfulness. Miracles are supposed to point us to God and reveal His nature. We must steward the memories and testimonies of what God has done for us personally, and for His people throughout history. Signs, wonders, and miracles reveal His nature as a good and perfect Father who loves His children. Miracles bring glory to God as people turn and praise Him for what He has done, but more than a moment of praise, these signs must become the lens through which we see life and the situations we face. Our ability to hear God’s voice is redefined by what we understand about who God is.

Faith is not the result of striving, it is the product of surrender. True worship happens when we surrender our hearts fully to the Lord, and it is in this place that faith can grow. The goodness of God must become a cornerstone of our faith. We cannot let the challenges that we face in life redefine the nature of who God is in our understanding. When we are confident of the fact that God is good, every moment becomes a valuable opportunity to celebrate His goodness, whether it be loss and grief or gain and promotion. Living from the renewed mind is what positions us to see from God’s perspective and reveal His brilliance, as true sons and daughters of God.

#BillJohnson #BethelChurch #Mind #Breakthrough #RevivalHow to Turn Your Adversity Into Advantage - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel ChurchBill Johnson Teaching (Official)2024-05-27 | Bill Johnson talks about how to turn your adversity into advantage. The enemy wants to weigh you down by the circumstances of life and take away your hope, but by choosing to focus on God, you can actually use adversity to your advantage. Psalm 23 reveals the beautiful promise that the Lord prepares a table for you in the midst of your enemies; in the middle of whatever situation you are facing, the Lord has prepared a feast for you. Don’t be so consumed by your problem that you miss the intimacy, hope, and wonder that the Lord has for you. Just as an eagle can use adverse winds to glide and rise higher, the Lord plans to use what the enemy meant for evil and bring you into a place of peace and strength in Him.

#BillJohnson #BethelChurch #Praise #Worship #SpiritualWarfareCultivate a Culture of Honor - Bill Johnson | The Pursuit of Wisdom Devotional, Proverbs 20Bill Johnson Teaching (Official)2024-05-22 | Bill Johnson teaches on cultivating a culture of honor. Proverbs 20 reveals the importance of developing strong and healthy relationships where we honor others without flattery, speak the truth in love, and intentionally choose to avoid quarrels and picking up offense. A culture of honor celebrates who a person is without stumbling over who they are not, and calls out the gold in them. Flattery is the counterfeit of honor. Honor sees the heart of a person and calls out the plans and purposes that God has put inside of them.

#BillJohnson #BethelChurch #Culture #Devotional #WisdomThe Power in Prayer Comes From Abiding in Christ - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel ChurchBill Johnson Teaching (Official)2024-05-20 | Bill Johnson teaches how the power in prayer comes from abiding in Christ. We don’t war against flesh and blood, and our greatest weapon is prayer; fighting on our knees. The most powerful prayers we pray come from a place of abiding in who God is. We are called to pray for our cities and nations, they are our responsibility. 2 Chronicles 7: 14 is a well known verse and a call from God to pray, that He might heal our land: “ If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” God longs to heal and restore what is broken and in need, and is calling us to pray from a place of abiding in Him.
