Keys to Influence, Walking in Both Divine Wisdom & Supernatural Power - Bill Johnson | Bethel Church

Bill Johnson finishes his series, The Beauty of Wisdom, by sharing keys to influence through walking in both divine wisdom and supernatural power. The Holy Spirit desires to work through us to reach others both overtly and covertly; through outward signs and wonders, and through working us into society and culture like yeast into dough. As seen in King Solomon’s life, his wisdom drew kings from many nations to come and sit at his feet. As we surrender to the Lord’s plans and purposes for our lives, we will be filled with the Holy Spirit’s power and divine wisdom, influencing many for His glory. It is not about us having the all answers, but about loving and serving people with excellence and care, and introducing them to the One who loves them most. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14,16 NKJV

Thank you Bill for putting words to what I’m experiencing. I have been doing a weekly gathering called “Dinner at Dads house for my HS age son and his friends and my college age daughter and her friends. I make a great meal, then as we eat I ask questions to get them to think. I have upwards of 15 young people each week. My goal is simply to get them to question what the culture is saying to them, most are not believers. A few have some church experience. It’s amazing how they land when they tease apart the topics. Once in a while I will interject a story or a reference to something Jesus said. They know where I stand. I just choose to love them. I share all of this because a couple months ago they decided this was their community. This was their safe space. They don’t miss it and all mark off Thursday evening. They have now begun to invite friends. One young woman drives two and half hours from her college each week just to be here. Your statement “they belonged before they believed” was the answer I was asking God for as to what He is doing with this. They are becoming church and being the church to one another and Holy Spirit is using it to whoo them with love towards Jesus. Thank you thank you for this word.

Thank you God unto all things. God Bless you jeffreyszakonyi1195. My dad did the same thing with us when in public school. When he passed young, the buses came and all kids from the school lined the walk on both sides of the church. I, as his daughter was taken by this respect and honour paid, still smile now, when I see how God had used him, his life. HalleluYAH.

[@michaelcadle1]

Jeffrey, That is a great idea. What questions are you presenting and focusing on?

[@lieslswanepoel2563]

So beautiful. After reading this I prayed for special guidance for you in creating this place to belong for those young people!!

You obey and obey and obey the Lord as a servant, you get annoyed and still obey the Lord and suddenly he calls you friend. I would rather upset Satan than to upset God, nothing is heavier than the glory of God and

"The Lord is creating a company of people that know how to live in both worlds." Glory to God!

[@lizp.s.1490]

What powerful Nuggets thank you Bill. I pray for wisdom every day I want more of Him. People are hungry for more.

[@mercymarkose]

could somebody tell Bill Jonson that I love him so much?. I have been following his teachings from 2012, his testimony of life impacted our ministry in Flint, Michigan. Thanking Jesus for his humble exemplary life. I saw him last week at Morning Star Harvest conference, he was going up on the elevator after the PM discussion, he looked down and I saw him, I waved at him and he waved me back with a smile. I love his humility. I am praying for him!!. GOD LOVES HIM SO MUCH !!

[@adamtbarr]

I feel like the Lord gave me a word after listening to this: September 29, 2023: SALT AND LIGHT "I am creating a renewed understanding of what it means to be salt and light. The SALT is the long-term, subtle influence of Kingdom Christians in the marketplace. Christians being salt are able to penetrate social systems. They are able to be a presence like Daniel. Like Esther. They are able to be builders and shapers. They exhibit my presence in ways that draw people into BELONGING, even if they are not yet believers. The LIGHT is the supernatural proclamation and demonstration of the Gospel of the Kingdom. It is the supernatural work that encounters people. Confronts people with the undeniable reality of the Gospel. I need both of these things in my Body RIGHT NOW. Those who exhibit one but not the other will be ineffective.”

[@danpowell5286]

That’s a good word!

[@beckypete100]

Great explanation

[@joshuairawo2341]

Praise God for this word👏🏾

[@user-vi6hp6lq3c]

The lord raises up kings, prophets, priest because of the cry of the people.

[@judeomahony367]

Humble yourself.

[@vivianoguche8078]

This is so loaded!

[@aaronstjames235]

The most interesting event occurred while I was watching Pastor Bill in these wisdom series. As though I could see it, just a piece of what is coming and what must be done. The evening this happened I was thrilled, I knew what to do and by the morning it was aloof. This is wisdom and it is here, over there and then back again. We need to see and know what must be done and have the ability to do those things for the purposes of the Kingdom.

THE PROCESS 7 TESTS during the PROCESS 1. Season of SERVICE: Desire and actions to serve. 2. Season of HIDDENESS: Motives are purified and character is formed. Isolation. Yield. Purification. 3. Season of DISCOURAGEMENT: Removal of familiarity, the ➡️shaking. ➡️CRUSHING reveals what is in you, trials reveal anointings. This stage is when betrayal occurs, by the one you least suspect, slander, ➡️what hurts most is people ➡️believe it, this occurs in the season of discouragement. Financial struggles, emotional weights, mental strongholds, thoughts, heaviness. IT IS A SEASON. IT IS A TEST. Know➡️HE IS FAITHFUL TO COMPLETE THE WORK➡️ HE STARTED IN YOU. 4. Season of FAITHFULNESS: Consistancy, attitude. 5. Season of BLESSINGS: Motives revealed, sin is knocking at the door. Season of rest, opportunities🤔. Tested again, sometimes God gives you something just to see how you act when He takes it away. Obeying God seems to make it worse for you, THAT'S the test of 🙌blessings. 6. Season of JEALOUSY: Caused by insecurity. Repent and know that your security comes from CHRIST and nothing else. Crucify that ego. Pray. 7. Season of FAITH: Test of faith. Do what God said to do. ➡️His WORD🫡 "Salvation is free, but the call into ministry will cost you ➡️everything." "The glory that rests on you comes in the proportion of your brokeness." David Diga Hernandez Last November I fell getting of of my bike, my boot got stuck, I hopped, my foot went under itsself and I hit the concrete on both hands and both knees. Needless to say, I have not been able to work. This week.....Glory be to The Lord, I was healed Monday morning ❤ A peace came over me, and I thought, maybe... I got up, and I could walk nornally❤🎉❤🎉 God is amazing! Believe in His Grace, always❤ Thank You, Lord, for Your Mercy ❤ What a year, SEPARATION, CAR, INJURY, COVID, POISON SUMAC, JOB, MY BROTHER PASSED AWAY the week my divorce was finalized. The process, I fell, I said I give up God I can't do this, God picked me up off of the concrete, He was with me, and now He healed me.

[@LisaMaki]

I totally agree with this. I've been in both worlds. I quit my business many years ago to pursue full-time ministry, only for the Lord to return me back to full-time entrepreneurship.

1. WORD Acts 9:3 all this week from my study, God leads me to keep thinking bout this scripture about Saul/Paul's radical encounter with Jesus!- THE LIGHT 2. SONG IN MY HEART God adds a constant nudge to meditate on the song by the New Jersey Mass Choir- Hold up THE LIGHT( one of my 4 new baby Christian songs from when I first got saved and delivered while a soldier in the Air Force in New Jersey back in the 1980's. The other 3 were: Jesus Christ is the Way- the Hawk', In the Name of Jesus, and Goodness, Mercy and Grace-the Winans... very prophetic worship songs huh? smiles) 3. I SEE THE LIGHT Then this morning Sept 30th I wake up heavy hearted thinking about a 'family field' God has sent me into on assignment with my sickle out. I wake up thinking...Lord there is a lot going on with this father, mother and all their 'chilren' smiles...What am I to do and how am I to deal with this family of 8 they are so dysfunctional!!!!@#? Then here goes God and His Posse, He send brother Bill Johnson to tie these revelations about light and influence together, answer my question and lift the weight of a very overwhelmed heart with this word from the Lord. Now as I am processing all these revelations and tracking with Johnson and Holy Spirit.. my heavenly Dad says .. Can you See THE LIGHT?(Blues Brothers line right) then Father says...HOW BOUT My BUOY Bill, his times are in My hands (laughter) Lord thank You for for continuing to manifest Philippians 2:13 in all Your children we are Your Tabernacles- Lord God!

[@vls3771]

how sad that modern Christians have become so weak ...always asking for a holy spirit refill or a free ride ... When was the last time someone grabbed spare blankets or food and went to the local homeless person and made a difference in their lives ? Not lately? Never maybe? Jesus said I have come to seek the lost the hungry the outcasts the homeless and weary I'm sure people do not see Christians of today as followers of Jesus ... believer's yes but not followers as a non Christian friend says they all seem to busy looking for demons under tables or getting to the next repetitive sermon with trendy wealthy speakers....
