The Challenge Of Promotion - Bill Johnson - February 28, 2010

The further you go with God, the less you can take with you. The Acts 5 church walked in great power and favor and none came to them lightly. We need to host the Presence with conscious awareness. The enemy wants you anxious because you create the environment around you that is inside of you. Try to live in such a way that nothing gets bigger than the presence of God in your live. You are only good for a problem if you go with knowledge that the spirit of the Lord is upon you.
In 1 Peter 2, faith is contrasted with disobedience, not unbelief. Where there is no faith, there is disobedience. Faith does not grow by striving, it grows by surrendering.
The church thrives in opposition, the greatest difficulty is how we perform in blessings. A person is tested by the praise that is given to them. He will bless the world before will bless the carnal believer.
He looks for those who can handle the honor and praise. If you cant handle honor you will have nothing to place at his feet.

Bill Johnson

BILL JOHNSON, Senior Leader of Bethel Church, is a fifth generation pastor with a rich heritage in the things of the Spirit. He serves a growing number of churches that have partnered for revival. This apostolic network has crossed denominational lines in building relationships that enable church leaders to walk in both purity and power. The present move of God has brought Bill into a deeper understanding of the phrase, "On earth as it is in heaven." Heaven is the model for our life and ministry. Learning to recognize the Holy Spirit's presence, and how to follow His lead will enable us to do the works of Christ, destroying the works of the devil. Bill and the Bethel Church family have taken on this theme for life and ministry. He teaches that we owe the world an encounter with God, and that a Gospel without power is not the Gospel that Jesus preached. Bill is the author of several books, including When Heaven Invades Earth and Face to Face With God. Books by Bill Johnson: When Heaven Invades Earth , The Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind , Face to Face with God , Dreaming With God , Strengthen Yourself in the Lord , Release the Power of Jesus Teaching Series by Bill Johnson: Healing: Our Neglected Birthright, Transformed People Transform Cities, How to Respond to Disaster, Anticipating the Glory Happy Intercessor - Beni Johnson www.bjm.org
