There is so much to internalize in Pastor Bill's every sermon that I kept stopping and replaying every 10-15 minutes to make sure I get what he's saying because it directly impacts me in some way or another. There is so much to learn from this man of God. Thank you Lord for Pastor Bill!

[@nonoshis]

I surrender, I lay down the pain of sacrifice and seeing no reward- self- righteousness. I take the posture of obedience, discipleship , not because I have nothing of my own, but because obedience is better than sacrifice. It’s His job to reward me; it’s my job to obey

[@johnswan8014]

Bill, this is probably the most important message I have ever heard you preach. Huge point about if I am feeling pain then that place isn’t crucified yet. How I would love to have heard that 20 years ago. How much opportunity did I walk away from because I wasn’t in the mindset to embrace the Cross. Your point about us wanting everyone to humble themselves but then get offended when they are exalted in due time is so poignant. I believe it has caused us to want to live in the humiliated state and we’re to the point where, at least I do this, we apologize or make the worst excuses for walking in a blessing. We are ashamed of our blessings for fear of offending someone. When we should be shouting from the rooftops how great God is and how He wants to work in blessing for all of His creation. Jealousy and shame keep most western believers from walking in the glory that we were created for. God is better than that and deserves so much better. Thank you for your continued “YES”. You are discipling a whole multitude of believers in what it truly is to be a disciple and friend of Christ

“When the cross comes, you realize you can’t be trusted.” One of the most powerful and true statements I’ve ever heard.

[@home8630]

This is important by 09.44 of the video Jealousy, to be made disabled at the expense of others partially because of Jealousy has a lasting effect, impact that is devastating. All my life I have gone through dying, and dying in Christ, and gone through it so much, well experienced with this, but I asked God that this be the last time, and its a doosey. I had an experience recently with another Christian and I was also delivering a message that was not lovely, but was needed, not what was wanted, because it was necessary. One Christian started to interact with me online and asked questions. And in that moment they were listening and that listening brought forth a healing, interaction that was quite like no other. While they were asking questions, I was learning how they were discerning and perceiving and because they were not genuine, were insincere and dishonest it turned and that healing stopped and they spoke a false witness and it became abusive and reinjured. I dealt with that person the way they needed to be and I dealt with me the way I needed to be dealt with. That person and that moment is gone, along with any reinjuring, and any pain suffering that was caused. But what was left and what stayed and remained was what was that listening that was healing. What healing was that, because I never experienced anything like that before. When God allows these things to happen, it can't be forgotten at all. When people abuse the disabled under pretense its not ok, when its non Christians ok, you expect that, but when its Christians, believers, the anointed, healers that do this, or the medical its betrayal beyond measure. However that person's memory to me is faded, but the experience and the questions remains, What is that Listening, What is that healing that comes through listening and What is this hearing? Or simply, What is that?

[@jeevan875]

Amen. Needed to hear to this message. I chose cross and said yes to God, The Lord Jesus Christ.

Pastor Bill is the only Pastor I've ever seen respond to anyone who posts on a churches KZbin page. Sir, I was just divorced this past Friday and my youngest son's, James who's 16 and Jonah who's 8 haven't had their mother in the lives but once a month for the past year and a half. She doesn't believe in our God anymore and now it's all about crystals and spirits and psychics. I told Jonah, take a shower and he asked why, I said, just in case your mom picks you up and he said, Dad, we both know she's not. It crushed me. I've been lost but now hearing you gave me a new love for the Lord, along Pastor Dan Mohler. I listen to you so day while I'm on the road at work. I've been prophesied over since I was a child and the Lord keeps making it known that I've been called, so I make wherever I go to talk about the Lord with this in need. I asked the Lord, can I or should I date again or will you restore my marriage and I had a dream that night and it showed Jonah being baptized, then my wife, April saying to me, you don't have to worry anymore, everything will be ok, I'll be back. The Lord has always given me dreams, they may not come to pass right away, maybe years later but I know God has always answered with what He's shown me. God bless brother's and sister's and thank you Pastor Bill.

[@BillJohnsonMinistries]

God has great purpose for your life. It's true. Tragedy and loss doesn't change that. On matters like this it's best to get counsel from your local church pastor who can spend time with you and look into your situation. Blessings!!!

So, so blessed by your ministry. Question... Is it truth - that speaking in tongues, spoken in the assembly, should be interpreted to edify the body? If it is - I ask what was spoken in tongues at the end so it may be built up. ❤️❤️❤️ Teach me

[@BillJohnsonMinistries]

tongues are for prayer and worship and as a message to be interpreted. Prayer and worship needs no interpretation. But if I stand to give a message to the people in an unknown tongue, it should be interpreted to have benefit.
