A Lifestyle of Peace - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel Church

Jesus promises to guard our hearts and minds with peace. The enemy uses anxiety to create a battlefield in our minds, that affects our relationship with God, our creativity, and our identity. Bill Johnson teaches us how to steward on a daily basis the peace God has given us. When we abide in a place of prayer and fill our minds with truth, we won’t be distracted by battles we aren’t meant to fight.

5:08 "No one who knows who God made them to be would ever want to be anyone else."

[@my5512]

I thought it was profound when Bill Johnson said "Prayerlessness is costly".

[@bethdamery6108]

My, oh my, Pastor Bill Johnson your sermon and God just changed my life! I happened upon you this morning and it was no accident. I received a jolt (literally) from the Holy Spirit that has changed my life! You proclaimed people would be freed from anxiety because the Lord said so and miracle has happened for me. Thank you so much for your sermon, prayers and for giving us the profound word and knowing that people would be healed from stress and anxiety! I am one that mightily received this gift! I am blown away and so happy! I don't know where you are but I want to come meet you one day! May God bless and keep you my friend and brother in Christ. Hallelujah, I have been set free! Thank you Jesus!

Feel the same way, would love to meet him. What a true man of God. His sermons are amazing. I have learned to listen to God's words because of his sermons.

[@pamelakrueger1696]

Honestly Christians all need to hear and live this and world would most certainly be flocking to us for answers. Father do send revival so we can repent of our shallow lack of love powerless representation of you! 😭

[@DonnaCologna]

I agreed in prayer for condemning thoughts to be broken and have been set free! It's been about a week and I have so much more rest in my spirit! HALLELUJAH!!!

[@milesw.8136]

I received the grace for my troubled mind. I felt it tangibly after I said: "Amen". My whole head feels different and my heart is at peace. Thank you Bill. Thank you Bethel family.

GOD's words to you were for me. Thank you Precious Holy Spirit!

[@juliela.]

How do you live free from anxiety and stress when you know there are people at work who are constantly finding fault with everything you do, calling you out for the most ridiculous stuff? How do you forgive, while standing up for yourself?

[@chloesimmons3694]

You pray for the people at your work and ask God for His lens to which you are to see your coworkers. Let God use you in this situation for your coworkers and yourself to be healed!

[@juliela.]

@@chloesimmons3694 it's not that easy when you're dealing with a bunch of narcissists. My contract got'nt extended in the end. I prayed to God to finally get me out of that situation and he did. What I got from it was a best friend and insurance that it's all about forgiveness. Weird times. But in the end I think the meaning of life is, forgive, move on and love. Especially yourself. God bless you

[@rexhenderson850]

Sinse I have started praying, I do not face as much temptation as before I get that , temptation was always ca problem for me in the past praise God 🙏

[@chriscapuano8562]

I was no lie just thinking about being my most authentic self . Anxiousness will block us from living out pur purpose. Just not worth it! Ppl need love

[@SuzanneGrimaud]

What a gift you are Pastor Bill. Holy Spirit directed me to this today. I can AFFIRM and CONFIRM as a personal testimony that I was healed from mental distress through the Word of God. (Just completed a book about it...launching in Jan). Your words today were a gift from the Lord to me to reassure me that this message must go out to the masses. It is hope filled and true!!! Thank you and be blessed.

[@charlottesewpershad1296]

Thank you Pastor Bill. I've been praying for peace in my home for such a long time and your message just brought conformation that I am on the brink of receiving breakthrough The word you bring is always powerful, uplifting, enlightening and strengthens my spirit.🙏

Every word is God speaking exactly to my situation.

[@riffraff2050]

The sensibility of a sermon like this works well in a room with a christian audience.. In this world, in these times it is the knowing of our first-love Is Bills sermon truly letting you know that that first love is in your heart? Does his words cause you to become inside your heart minded and loving? If we do not profoundly come to know the Christ inside our hearts There will never be anything authentic without a shifting of your consciousness inwardly.. Sermons themselves become distractions when your truly coming to know him Exterior exhortations are needful for babies and the undeveloped..a cuddling comfort from the outside Spiritual meditation.. knowing Christ after the Spirit not the intellect is what is needed in these times Everything is already known when you know him..Christ within is the great knower waiting to reveal what he knows to those who really take the time to give him due conscious awareness If a sermons words fail to make you more interiorly conscious of Jesus Christ within..that sermon really is next to nothing.. Exterior heady christianity must give way to Him.. We do not know yet how carnal our ways of doing church still is We need to go after those deeper realms in soul to spirit collective practice..realms of Christ inside of us..to put a stronger anointing on our words.. Christ possessed words And bring back one unto another Body life ministry in the Body of Christ.. Pastors for far to long have been walking a borderline case of idolatry in the Church of The Lord Jesus Christ All gifts point to Him And those gifts that can actually engage Him (that is, be soul to spirit minded which takes everyday training) when speaking to others Will prove to be the most profitable It is the Spirit that profits.. If we really knew as mature believers every mouth would be stopped in favor of recognition of Him and the recognition that we cannot do anything of any value without Him Soul to Spirit training ..I don't know if we the Church will ever give place to it... we love Pastors sermons more than Jesus Christ right now All Church time is suppose to be in gathering together unto Jesus Christ within.. Not gathering together to hear a sermon about Him..at least not as a priority..the fellowship of the believers is secondary Christ has the preeminence in all things It is from His Headship that we come to know Him And that Headship can only be known inside our hearts..from whom all the joints and bands having nourishment ministered.. increases with the increase of God Christ is All in all

[@tendereye]

I have to testify ! Amazing message. Thankyou 🙏🙏. I’m a singer and songwriter who has felt crippled by anxiety this week particularly. I noticed that my creativity had been arid & desert like. So alien for me. After your prayer Pastor Bill, within a second I began to sing a new song to Jesus !! New words, new melodies, a fertility of ideas once again. I’m looking forward to putting the principles from the message in practice. So powerful . Thankyou 🙏🙏🙏

[@BillJohnsonMinistries]

wonderful!!!

[@ShangDi_became_Jesus]

Jesus is supernatural and spiritual. I didnt know this my entire life. I got into very bad things along my young adult life in 🇺🇸 having too much fun. I got caught up with addiction. I said Jesus if you are really real like they say you are than reveal yourself to me. That night i repented of my sins genuinly, that is the trick, repenting of your past mistakes sincerely than you will breakthrough. I had a very supernatural encounter. I became radicalized instantly. I became obsessed with seeking and pursuing God (Jesus). There really isna devil and his name is satan. satan likes to deceive every chance he has. He has no other game plan so he is predictable but he is very powerful at the same time.

Rex, Bill may be in California, but the Holy Spirit lives inside you as a believer. Maybe you can be part of the change you would like to see by inviting Bill to come and speak or starting a life group at your local church with Bill’s teachings. Pray about it and let’s see what the Holy Spirit will do through you. ❤

[@yesilopez1609]

What is the gospel?

[@judysaxelby313]

The gospel is the amazing and wonderful good news that Jesus was God and He chose to come to earth and live as a man. After 33 years He was condemned by evil and jealous religious rulers to die on a cross. Before He was nailed there He was horribly abused by being nearly whipped to death, among other tortures. His bloody body and the emotionall pain He endured through His ordeal paid for the sins of the world. Now anyone who chooses to trust in what Jesus did, asks His forgiveness for his sins and receives Jesus into his heart can be born again and start a new life. That is the simple gospel. I hope that helps you to understand. I am praying for you.

[@yesilopez1609]

@@judysaxelby313 Thank you for your reply. You mentioned that Jesus was God, does that mean he is no longer God?

[@judysaxelby313]

@@yesilopez1609 sorry for any confusion. Jesus is always God....even as a man living in the earth. Let me know if you have other questions. 🤗

[@joeandersen6553]

The restoration of our relationship to God as our father and now we can be sons, because of the obedience of Jesus and his death on the cross. The gospel. For real.

[@karinsvanback7497]

​@@yesilopez1609 G-d is G-d, Jesus is G-d, Holy Spirit is G-d. Three in one. And one in three. Like the white clover. Like we are supposed to be one with our family and spiritual family. And the church with Jesus.
