Wisdom Has No Adversary - Bill Johnson Sermon, The Beauty of Wisdom Series, Part 4 | Bethel Church

Bill Johnson continues his series on The Beauty of Wisdom, and teaches from the life of Solomon. Under Solomon’s reign, Israel came into a time in which Solomon described as having no adversary, nor any evil occurrence. Is it possible to come to such a place in God that we have no enemy? There is a place available to us in God’s Presence where we live ‘above the snake line’, safe from the voice of the enemy and his accusations and distractions.

Jesus already won the battle! We are pulling from a finished work we choose life this day and we receive it more abundantly... He took the age to 33 to the cross... We are creators made in God's image he restores the years... If in the garden we ate the apple we didn't see that we were dying but now we see that he purchased our life In the flesh for his so now we have life and we speak it upon that there is no other day to choose from... And we asked him for fullness of knowledge of the word and he does want to give us the desires of our heart it all starts with loving each other and wanting to spread the good news of the Kingdom so that we see all happy faces everywhere abundant overflowing Joy. God takes care of everything he creates he provides he provided a place for us to live life more abundantly... The door that he opened once we believe will lead us into everlasting

[@lynnbatcheller983]

That quote was NOT contemporary- It comes from a French mathematician and Christian philosopher who lived in the 17th century, Blaise Pascal. He said, “There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator, made know through Jesus Christ.”🤗 Also, for a person pouring over daily Proverbs for years cuz of a deep longing for spiritual discernment and rich understanding of “how to do life” I couldn’t agree more w/Bill as to the need of this in our lives and I am excited that God has been stirring this in His kingdom minded children for some time! This message was AHmazing!!!💪🏻🎉❤️

Think of What WORDS Are Spoken in The Kingdom...Where Jesus, Yeshuah is King... The Kingdom Is Within Us to Speak Forward

[@elizabethfyffe]

God is building spiritual cities. Spiritual houses. Spiritual nations. The cities houses and nations are the kingdom. They have authority over specific different dimensions and regions. As our war is not against flesh and blood but principalities and spiritual beings. We are being built into priesthoods/ cities nations principalities. We reign eternal. We cannot expect these to be physical external cities only. But something longer lasting. Communities that will be eternal. He is assembling the nation’s. This is spiritual as well. Calling us across national lines and into kingdom lines. Aligning us across cultural barriers to defeat more as we all have dominion over different cultural and ancestral demonic strongholds. We will demolish more as we are assembled into our world wide teams. This is why we go as missionaries. We Carry things places that they are needed and missionaries from other places are beginning to be sent here to America. God show us how to build. Thank You Bill for this word. It is providing and impactful and I am blessed by your teaching and your surrender while exercising authority and position. Posture and position. ❤posture and position.

I need this. I’m teaching 5th grade in the middle of a desert where it’s been 113 almost daily since we started school in July. But that’s not the hard part. And apparently there are several Born Again believers here. We are crying out to God for our school, our district, our city & our region. We know God put us all here for a reason. I’ve NEVER been in a more difficult working situation. We need wisdom & a breakthrough. Our kiddos NEEED Jesus. We are praying for the Holy Ghost to come.

Three years ago the Lord told me He was going to remove the enemy’s name from the land….I’ve wondered ever since what He meant by that. Maybe these things that Bill is talking about are the answer? 🤔

The knowledge of the glory of God is starting to cover the earth, just as the waters cover the sea. I declare that Redding is just the beginning; and that the cloud the size of a hand will be a glory cloud over Bethel Church and over many other “houses on a hill”.

Been hearing the Holy Spirit say, “Be a peacemaker.” So that is what He is teaching & developing in my life in greater ways with all circumstances. #mygardengrowspeace4all

[@brentdaglish4358]

Peacekeepers keep the peace. Peacemakers are actually fighters. That create peace by taking out that which disturbs the peace. That is why a version of the colt in the old west was called the 'peacemaker' as it took out those that disturbed the peace. Use that principle in spiritual terms.

[@gordonolson1904]

Whoa. Hard message to hear. My focus especially as I've gotten older has been more on how to benefit those IMMEDIATELY around me: church family and friends, relatives. So much of my thinking has been geared toward that. But God using me to 'take my city for the Kingdom?' I confess, I've not been 'living that large.' This message has me feeling a little overwhelmed but challenged as well to ENLARGE MY FOCUS on what my role in the Kingdom of God should be about. 🤔

I have a question; if during Solomon’s period being without adversary is “without Satan,” was Solomon’s loss of godliness, because of a decline in divine wisdom, or not adhering to divine wisdom?
