It Takes Courage to Dream - Bill Johnson Full Sermon | Bethel Church

It takes courage to dream, and there are certain aspects of God’s nature that can only be revealed as His sons and daughters pursue dreams and see prayers and desires fulfilled. In this full sermon, Bill Johnson talks about the risk of pursuing dreams that are not of God, but the greater cost of not dreaming at all because we are afraid of getting it wrong. Teaching from John 14-16, and Jesus’ repeated instruction to “Ask anything in My name and it will be done”, Bill encourages us to be courageous in pursuing our dreams and the desires God has put in our hearts.

I was watching this message online today, when Bill stopped and declared healing in right legs. I had issues with my left leg so I stood in my lounge room and said out loud I'll take the healing anyway. Then he spoke about the left side. Anyway, my leg is healed. God is so good.

Amen!!!

Watched this on May 16, 2023 and received healing in my left elbow and right ankle. Believing for complete healing in my eyes. Was also given boldness to pray blessing over a stranger on my lunch time walk. Thank you Father!

[@graceburks9406]

I believe that God has healed me totally and that God is using me in signs and wonders to help others understand that JESUS SAVES.

[@jlwcrafts]

This message was for me,. I've had a lot of disappointments over the last few years. I was deeply hurt in church and had friends turn against me. But I held fast to the Lord and he's been healing my heart and renewing the dream He put within me years ago. Thank you Pastor Bill, for reminding me, it's ok to have a dream, even if it seems like a wild one.

[@lydiasalinas5106]

Yes, release “the capacity to dream the dreams of God - extreme dreams, wild dreams”

[@karynbrinkmeyer7431]

I claim the sciatica healing and the tailbone healing. It has affected my sitting, standing, traveling & ministry. Also, May I dream again, the dreams of God.

[@danerooi5006]

I receive my healing. While unplugging a socket, I hurt my elbow. It flares up every now and then, but lately its become more frequent. It was excruciating today, but as I sit here now, I feel no pain at all. Thank you Jesus!

[@sandrapretorius5367]

I'm trusting God for wild Dreams, His Dreams... 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@alexc3536]

I had poor vision for a long time but as you mentioned about a person having disease in their vision was being healed, my vision improved a lot straight after and felt God's presence on me

[@danielbiaka7809]

Praise the Lord for healing an eye disease for me today! ❤❤❤ I am rejoicing!! Thank you for your prayers!! God bless you!!

[@dawnsutton316]

I stood for my mom, healing of arthritis, especially in her spine, lower back, to her tailbone. She JUST got shots and it's helped her pain a lot. Since there is religious tension when I talk about healing I am expecting to hear her tell me that for SOME REASON her back is way better. Also stood for the heart, artery blockage for me and for dreams!!! All with great expectation! I just wanted to say it before I see it. Been doing this a while. Did not feel anything physically but a HIGH EXPECTATION filled me when I heard the words!! Excited!! Praise you Jesus!

[@kilisitinagibbs3293]

I am here in INdonesia in my hotel balcony watching this sermon. My eyes is healed and my lower back close to tail is healed. My spine healed from the last healing and impartation lastweek while I was in Sydney. Thank you Lord. Thank you. Keep it up. I absolutely leave and breath on those youtubes.

[@hephzibahb.7370]

Left leg 🦵 YES !! Thank you Jesus

[@olennemac2502]

I’m believing for God to grow back my right leg. It was amputated in 2015 and I have had ongoing problems. Currently was diagnosed with infection that probably will require more of my leg to be amputated. I know God can regenerate for me a healthy new leg and standing on that hope! ✝️❤️ I’ve been following Bill’s teachings for 20 years and he has helped me to have the faith to believe this. Thank you Pastor Bill!

[@jonathankey1533]

I’m believing with you. This is an easy thing for our Father

[@olennemac2502]

I'm joining my faith with yours. Nothing is impossible with God ❤

[@yohaan9]

Ever since I started my new job. I've been feeling without a dream or a goal or vision. I believe God will give me a vision and has placed me to succeed. :)

[@edwarddaniels2306]

Thank thank for revealing jesus as the son of god so well in this message of lust and the fire of Elijah.

[@JL_Batman]

Absolutely - the pruning is by his word, and this is HIS method of repairing/disciplining. If it is the environment - then you are hosed, because this world is so full of damage and suffering and abuses that come from workers of iniquity, you will quickly find God either is capricious ... or it isn't Him doing it. No Father would do that as a discipline.

[@Lynnbrookflowing]

I'm a candidate for healing, eyes and lower spine! Hallelujah Glory to God Almighty. I'm dreaming with Jesus! Thank you Lord!

[@drshnshrm]

This is good one and so relevant... many golden nuggets, thanks Bill. Strength and joy to you in His love and anointing 🎉

[@fritzamtsberg5310]

Healing in my tailbone online

[@subomioduntan5650]

Oh my! I love you so much sir, and I love listening to you teach on this subject. My mind is enlarged and encouraged to dream! I dream and see myself having greatness in God’s way and terms. Impact in my sphere of influence, contributions and service. I do not limit my mind henceforth. And I do not relate with God as a servant to a master. He is my Father and friend! Thank you sir!

[@lonarhodes6803]

I wish there was some notes on this. I'm awful taking notes. There's so many good points on this.

[@JADay-mk9fx]

I take an action of faith for healing in my eyes... Thank you, God, and I receive your finished work on the Cross!

[@lightkelseys]

So good. I'm very glad I found these teachings. I was just asking the Lord about Jonah in this regard. Praying for healing from past trauma, fear, and anxiety.

Thank you Pastor Bill for a Great Message …

[@rosskellymcgarva3130]

I love watching …. It’s an honor to be able to join in from our very rural Texas location! I want to ask - If someone can respond from a place of understanding- why so many men are choosing to wear their cowboy 🤠 hats inside the Church?! Etiquette and respect say that is just not acceptable and yet every time I watch there are 4-6 in the audience. My husband (having grown up in agriculture) is so amazed 😮 every time we see it I thought I would ask.

[@charlynnmullin38]

[@Patricia-re6rs]

Not sure if anyone from Bethel monitors the comments. If so, I would like to suggest that the ads throughout the talk are eliminated. It is challenging to be pondering important information and then suddenly a loud voice breaks in.

[@TheJaxtube]

Hi I understand that the ads are KZbin and we can watch by either downloading adstop software or paying subscription to KZbin

You have this for free and you're complaining. Stop complaining.

[@maxwellrodriquez41]

Hey Karen! Apologies for dropping this here I came across your KZbin channel and I would love to know you better. I'm guessing you must be an honest person, because I always found your comments to be so nice and respectful. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friend but if it sounds odd or embarrassing in any way please don't embarrass me by replying. Have a wonderful day, and keep sharing!

[@happydonkeyofjesus6431]

18min Servant mindset wants a list of dos but Friend mindset is different. Jesus called us His Friend - mindset approaching the King - who i am taking the journey with. Proverbs 16: 9. Take a direction is part of the process, desire the roadmap for the places to go - instead of standing there for years. Believers has access to the Father house for crisis solution that are of greatness and influences - human heart plan the course but God gives (establishes) steps.

[@nancyleslie3166]

You did not give In to this world, No You overcame All kingdoms in earth They were offered You But You - You chose the cross instead. Because You - You were the perfect dreamer Dreaming the Father's dream With love and so much passion You gave and You gave and You gave And You gave and You gave So that we could Drean about another day When we will see you face to face And change into Your likeness along the way and teach others to dream. You came into this sinful world You who knew no sin To execute the Father's will To die for the sins of the world! Because You - You were the perfect dreamer, dreamin' the Father's dream Nan Leslie

[@happydonkeyofjesus6431]

God does not answer prayers that 1. violate His nature 2. undermine your purpose 3. steals our identity in Christ. Son of God comes to save them . 16min the lust of the flesh invites uninvited spiritual fights. We are invited to pray to see things happen so that His will will be done as in heaven Psalm105. 17min spiritual conflicts - if the Lord allows us to be in spiritual conflicts, God has already equipped us to win - set the stage for our victory if we simply used the tools that He put in our life to destruction of darkness and enemy loses its grip where it holds onto - killing, stealing, destroying get undone -loosed by God people

[@lisacauthen4623]

Please forgive me if this begins too constructive…..if you will. Who is the loud “outburst” woman on or near the front road who believes she needs to speak aloud continually? Interruption is indeed interruption. If she was before a Governor or person of leadership including Christ…..she’d be revenant to the speaker and to the crowd around her trying to hear. Her outbursts and neglect of any reverence to those who are around her there to hear GOD THRU BILL JOHNSON, do NOT want to hear her. I/We have brought countless folks from afar and they’ve been so put off or their children so disturbed by people who do not feel the need to show any honor to the speaker or those around them, that left….or their children crying because of….! Manners matter. ALWAYS. BLL NOR CHRIST are in need of her continued outspoken words. If she is in agreement The Spirit of God already knows. Bill will know they someone’s countenance or from the corporate spirit amounts the crowd. This is a matter that does need to be addressed by those who see and hear it because it is a tool of the enemy to cause disruption and a distraction to THE WORD being delivered. Whether the person doing it knows or not they are being selfish and wanting to bring attention to themselves in some way. We as Believers sought to be displaying the utmost reverence and honor to all at all times.
