What does it mean to be thankful in all things? Does it mean that we should be thankful for everything we face? Bill Johnson shares from Scripture how choosing thankfulness in every situation positions us for growth and breakthrough. Being more focussed on what we are thankful for than of our needs maintains our awareness of God’s goodness and His ability to come through in our areas of need. This is an excerpt from Bill's message “The Discipline of Thankfulness”.

We need to be people who recognize when God is speaking to us. God will not lead us into deception, and has given us keys to recognizing His voice.

The power of the Gospel is often displayed through bold acts of faith, but a secret place of power is found in our weakest moments, our losses and disappointments.

In this full sermon, Bill Johnson teaches keys from David’s early years and his pathway to promotion. God is looking for people with the “heart of a king”; people who will allow Him to purify their hearts and continually refine and establish their identity in Him alone. Self-promotion is all too common in our culture, and can only be sustained through continued self-promotion; it is not God’s best for us. Bill's message follows a time of ministry and praying for the sick, specifically those with head injuries or learning disorders. If you need healing in this area, we are believing for God to touch you today. 3:14 Words of knowledge for healing of head trauma, brain diseases, infections, and learning disorders 3:44 Testimonies of head issues healed 7:25 Ministry and prayer 20:31 Sermon Subscribe for weekly videos: https://bit.ly/bjmYoutube Connect with Bill Johnson Ministries: Website: http://bjm.org/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/bjmFacebook Instagram: https://bit.ly/bjmInstagram Additional Resources: https://shop.bethel.com/collections/bill-johnson Scripture References: Acts 23 Exodus 22: 28 Romans 13 1 Samuel 24: 1-22 1 Samuel 15: 23 Originally shared at Bethel Church, Redding California, on November 12, 2017. #BillJohnson #BethelChurch #Promotion

We have the privilege of trusting the One who is perfectly trustworthy. In this full sermon, Bill Johnson teaches from Proverbs 3: 5-6 and challenges us to allow our faith and trust in God to be refined and deepened.

Scripture prescribes joy as good medicine. In this full sermon from 2017, Bill Johnson teaches on the vital importance of stewarding a lifestyle of joy, and how joy positions us for the breakthroughs we are contending for. The joy of the Lord is our strength. We get to choose and experience joy even before our breakthrough comes, in fact, it is a command from the Lord. “Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child; Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed; For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord.

Bill Johnson speaks about the beauty and wonder of hope. More than wishful thinking, hope is what anchors us to God’s goodness and faithfulness, and keeps our heart in a place of surrender to Him.

Is it possible to live in such a way that our love and passion for the Lord only increases? In this full sermon, Bill Johnson talks about the importance of maintaining our first love and staying childlike in our approach to the Kingdom. The difficult situations we face in life will either harden our hearts or draw us nearer to the Lord. A hardened heart can still go through the motions of the Christian life, but without a heart of surrender, routine becomes religion. Respond today to this call to return to your first love. May you continually grow in love, joy, and hope as you steward a tender heart of deepening affection for the Lord.

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.
