Overcome Disappointment, Embrace God’s Promises, & Dream Again - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel Church

[@Laineah]

I'm one of those who've lost the capacity to dream. The only thing I held on was the hope of redemption, His second coming, nothing else, nothing specific for my life. But just this morning I was writing about my goal to hope again. Thank you.

[@valeriemeakin5020]

Understand this, almost like I wasn't allowed to dream. But I enjoy being able to dream big. It's exciting now to read God's promises, know they are for me and dream and run towards them.

[@christalgal202]

I am in the exact some position. I’m just living until the second coming. Not thriving not dreaming. I’ve been so disappointed it’s hard to believe there’s anything good this side of glory 😢

[@gladtidings6020]

Your missing one thing: your joy in life is to love. Love takes effort, wisdom, knowledge, discipline, self control. You’re lonely because you’re turned inward. Turn outward toward others. This whole idea of your “dreams” is focusing on yourself. You’ll be miserable your whole life If you do that. It’s always a dead end. Why? Because it will never, never satisfy you.

[@lindalarson1948]

​@@gladtidings6020 I think you missed the part of this message where it points out that you have no right to assume that you know people's motives.

[@sarakellard3093]

I'm same

[@BotimiNene]

One thing I absolutely love about Bill, is how he begins his teaching with jokes to make the heart of the people light. A lot of us takes this for granted. God bless you Bill

[@janetlostritto59]

I need the capacity to dream again

[@elohisaelohisa5023]

Here is God reaching out when you lost all hope? Im not sure what this sermon is about but right where Im at today it is a glimmer of hope I think! 😢😢😢

[@juliaparker2581]

Knowing that we are not that good when He uses us, brings God All the Glory!! HALLELUJAH!!

[@vickitabor8789]

💥❤️‍🔥💥Yes! So true! So good! 💥❤️‍🔥💥 To co-labor with Him to reveal our loving Father! His love for us far exceeds anything we can ever imagine! This message inspires a 2025 journal goal for me…to write daily how the Father’s love was manifest in my life that day…He won’t blare it to make sure I know it…He’s not that way. I must stop to see/find it and give Him glory! ❤️‍🔥💥❤️‍🔥 #howgreatistheFatherslove

[@s.ramirez2148]

30:25 very true, i recently got really irritated with myself and was craving something anything. i kept asking God for something and it was put in my heart to Fast. I have never fasted before but I decided to settle in fasting and it was also put in my heart to read over Ephesians. I feel grateful, content, and have learned so much so far within my fast. And funny enough, this video pops up on my youtube recommendations and now I am here. I already feel change happening as my fast is ending tomorrow morning. God is good all the time and very grateful for His word and those who have the gift of teaching! much love to everyone and peace throughout your journey

You are so easy to understand the scriptures and l love your teachings, God bless you Bill 🙏

[@hannon092]

Oh thank you so much for this message. The Holy Spirit led me here this morning ❤Let’s unite for Our Lord and Savior Jesus! Blessings to everyone! Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy Hanukkah 🕎 2024. Amazing they are falling at the same time. Jesus United Us!

[@perryprincess1]

we are living because HE has hope for the impossible!! WoW

[@gordonolson1904]

In his teaching on the subject of Disappointment my pastor Mac Hammond has described it as 'the frustration of Expectancy.' We either have an idea that things should go the way WE think they should. Or even if it's a God-given idea that it should happen in a certain way or in a certain time frame of OUR design. It's easy to lose sight of when 'God works all things together for Good' (Rom.8:28) He will do it in such a way that His Glory is preserved and His FULL purposes are accomplished. That CAN preclude our preconceptions of when or how it's supposed to happen. Thanks Pastor Bill for giving me hope and something to think about and a different perspective on something I've heard spoken about before. 😊

[@desertsong8710]

Thank you thank you thank you, Bill Johnson!! It’s too easy to not realize that we haven’t resolved our disappointments and to be reminded how critical our prayer life is to us, to our heavenly father and those around us who need our prayers. What a perfect message for 2025. Teach us to pray, Lord!

[@kenberger5543]

You are living and breathing b/c he has hope you will believe for the impossible 23:00

[@RevLarry]

God's Richest Blessings Pastor Bill. Your messages speak exactly to what Father God is teaching me. We have had one thing break down after another. It has kept me very busy repairing them. Praise God, He gave me mechanical talent like my earthly father had. Thank you!

[@christitedesco4400]

Hallelujah We praise you Father GOD and thank you for using us as Your vessels to accomplish your Will on this planet and allowing us to display Your GLORY 💕 HALLELUJAH

[@spoolsandbobbins]

The secret to ALL issues is to let yourself CRY. Tears are the healing ointment from the heart of God. Cry before the Lord and your healing will come QUICKLY.

[@Alsojepeodiwl]

That probably doesn’t work all the time because I’ve cried ALOT with no healing 😢

[@elohisaelohisa5023]

Ive cried so many tears for years trying to work out why I have not healed yet😢

[@rstroh2105]

This is very well intentioned and sweet but I don't think it always works like that, and sometimes you can't cry even if you want to.

[@wayfarer1101]

"Disappointment is the mother of depression." 07:53.

[@iamchuremi]

You caught me there, in disappointment. Lord, I repent 🙏🏾

[@elohisaelohisa5023]

Wow! Disappointment is "what people hide behind in order to SECRETELY ACCUSE GOD of not being faithful" I just saw myself hiding behind a bush with fig leaves on!!! 🍁🙄This Revelation is deep...Heavenly Father right now I repent and ask Your forgiveness for my petty self who had no clue that I was indulging in sin against your Holiness. Thank you for pointinh it out I understand this so well now help me to anchor it in my Heart so I can Glorify YOU according to your WILL and Purpose You have for my life in Yeshuas Name Amen 😢😢😢 ❤

[@flashlitestriker4028]

[@rstroh2105]

I don't feel like dreaming at all...ignored this sermon for 3 weeks...but I will ask the Lord to teach me to pray

[@janetlostritto59]

I don't want to lose sight of the promises of God

[@jameshoh8925]

Big thank you to Pastor Bill

[@__geovana]

I need to dream again.

[@alanzo428]

God is my personal deadbeat neglectful Dad - promising the world and delivering 🙌

Amazing teaching

[@judithmalan1502]

2 Corinthians 1:18 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤Amen!

[@Christmasradio4U]

Great point. My mom told me how her mom abused her. That caused me to be bitter towards her mother. My mom never told me anything good about her mom.

[@lvnlvd]

Hope deferred? I have lived a life of Hope! I like one response "disappointment is depression in diapers". I have believed, I have loved, (like 1st Corinthians 13), I would have loved and not lost. I love your message but it's not my life experience. I wish it was! I still have faith!

[@rstroh2105]

That's awesome but it would probably be a good idea to be sensitive to those who have struggled in this area and not just expecting them to bounce up to that level immediately.

[@musculusiv4172]

14:00 unfortunately that is exactly my experience with God so far. Maybe what I desire is not what God desires (although they are no evil things at all) but I cant change that anyway :/

[@chachavg1]

Disappointment dislocates a person from their purpose/destiny. The enemy keeps us focused on what didn't work so that we are of no use for what could work.

[@rstroh2105]

What if you are doing other profitable things though - things God told us to do right now? I don't feel like dreaming, I'd rather focus on doing what my hand finds to do today - which is not totally what I wanted to do, but it's OK.

[@Problems_Solutions4Life]

Amen🙏🏽

[@judithmalan1502]

Yup! I had breakfast at 3am this last week...

[@chrisbeachy1585]

Love Bill way of teaching

[@carlosmann9438]

[@LesadaughterofGOD]

Absolute Truth

[@rogerdsmith]

But the command from Christ is the live a “crucified” life. That effectively means that any interest, preference, desire, passion, ambition, dream, or sense of purpose, needs to be completely destroyed, so that I can truthfully follow Christ and His Kingdom. That would mean that my ability to dream might potentially be an act of rebellion against the kingdom. It’s always taught that we need to lay our life down, but nobody - absolutely nobody, actually teaches exactly what that means, and what it potentially may not mean. How can it be legitimate to dream, if this is true?

[@perryprincess1]

praying you come to know the Love of the Father…He doesn’t want us to love Him: HE wants us to Want to love Him. It’s all about the heart

[@ellenstar1155]

Who made your dreams? Are they inline with the fathers dreams for you? One doesn’t exclude the other. You can take up your cross and dream the impossible and it’s a shared dream with God…Abraham dreamt the dreams God had for him….

[@ellenstar1155]

Psalm 20:4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

[@ellenstar1155]

Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

[@edhalse5913]

I've always thought that dreams were either a gift of God...often needing interpretation, or an attack of the enemy- to be prayed against before sleeping... I had never thought dreams were a capacity, like a tap one could operate.

[@Diego-hi7ge]

Quem veio pelo TikTok?

[@MariahFan09]

Those were funny jokes!

[@LAnderson7]

❤❤❤

[@janetlostritto59]

How could that happen

[@BOAZ77]

I am overcome depression but staying broken from past events make me depressed due to i cant function with adhd

[@boison.a]

Disappointment is depression in diapers.

[@tammysims8716]

Wait, does this preacher really say disappointment is depression in diapers? Because if he did, he has spoken in ignorance.

[@janiceeastman2610]

Then why are there believers that are homeless?

[@hwestministries]

All the stuff about the food -- it's all first First World, very American, in places were there is no food scarcity. It would be good to consider those places in the world that don't suffer from overindulgence.

[@fabiangrimes2261]

Smh. There’s always that one to ruin a good laugh

[@hwestministries]

@@fabiangrimes2261 Excess and overindulgence is not all that funny.

[@charlesmangum2100]

The self-pity of poor me is never funny.

[@hwestministries]

@@charlesmangum2100 where does that appear in this exchange?

[@belson8257]

I’m not getting your message. I thought I was a good prayer warrior and strong in the Lord. Am I broken by not dreaming? 😮How often should I be dreaming to be considered alright and loving in Jesus Christ? Hmm 🤔 🙏🩸🐑 Disappointed Disappointment? I’m listening to the message again. I have dreamt beautiful dreams! not a big dreamer😊again hmm 🤨

[@rstroh2105]

Dreaming about the future God has while you are here :)

[@EmilyFilipo]

😂😂

[@gladtidings6020]

Folks it’s okay to be disappointed. You don’t think Jesus Christ was disappointed in Judas ? Come on, how dare this guy teach in a subtle way that disappointment is wrong. This is why people suffer great mental distress from believing this shit.

[@rodjames033068]
