The Importance of Obeying God, Regardless of the Outcome - Bill Johnson Full Sermon | Bethel Church

[@donnamiller1309]

Such a good encouraging word! I want to share my testimony in a nutshell. After five years of marriage I became born again. My husband did not want anything to do with the Lord. As a young Christian, early in my faith walk, the Lord showed me I was to stay, with a promise of his salvation. I prayed and trusted the Lord for 34 years. And then the day came when my husband gave his life to Christ. What joy! Those years were very difficult at times. We had four children. I will never forget when the Lord ask me if I was willing to go through the storms in life for my husband to be saved, and ask what was the value of this one soul to me. I was faithfully encouraged and strengthen through the years by the Holy Spirit and the love of others from the body of Christ. My husband lived 7 years in the Lord before he went home home to be with Jesus. God taught me so much through those years and in the suffering. The Lord was already in the day of my husband’s salvation when He made the promise to me 34 years prior! There truly is a blessing in obedience, even in the suffering. God’s truth always brings light and life even in the most difficult and darkest places. God bless you.

[@whitneybell7571]

Thank you for sharing this testimony. I’ve been waiting 11 years for my husband. We were high school sweethearts. 13 years passed after a breakup. Neither of us married. I became a Christian in those years and my husband held hope of my return. We married soon after reuniting. If prayer wasn’t a daily practice we wouldn’t survive. God is still faithful when the outcome isn’t as expected. The waiting and searching-has deepened my love for our Father and created an intimacy with Him that I will always cherish. Thank you sister for your example of patient endurance. ❤

[@marytetreault8168]

Beautiful testimony.

[@georgiaprather4483]

I truly believe in your words of wisdom, in end o your testimony. It sums everything up. Obedience a clean conscience, such emphasis we could not say much more than plain English obedience and one's conscience reveals the inner self the holy spirit is able to work healings and miracles and prayers are being answered in Jesus name thank you prophetess Bill Johnson pickiness obediently in Jesus name amen

[@rosereber8290]

I haven’t heard anyone preach about Judges 20 for years. Excellent Word about submitting to God instead of doing “what seems good to men.” Thank you Pastor Bill. 😊

You are SO right! 👍🏻I appreciate Pastor Bill immensely. God has placed a special annointing on him.

[@stacieharrison1000]

I’m so GREATFUL you and PAPA COPELAND HOOKED UP! WHAT AN ANOINTING!

[@aclarkfamily]

Bill, my daughter died the day before her birthday at the age of 33 years. 2 weeks after our youngest son was sentenced to life in prison. 2 months later my dad passed away, 3 months later my husband experienced a cardiac event. This speaks to me because the main question that has come to me from Father God is, "Do you still believe me?" and I tell you the truth, it HURT but the answer just 18 months after the event is ... YES DAD, I DO! We continue to believe. Thank you for this message. I forgive you for the first part .... ROFLOL!

[@BillJohnsonMinistries]

wow!!! many blessings on you and your family

Someone reading this is delaying to obey something God has placed on your heart to do. Please read Psalm‬ ‭119‬:‭60‬ ‭GNT “Without delay I hurry to obey your commands.” ‭‭

[@cassie-rin]

one of the best sermons I've watched of him.

[@deidregreen6926]

I just shared this with my sister. I’ve been crying throughout this whole message. So deep and real. God has changed my heart so much in this wilderness journey to get me to my purpose and destiny. I’ve lost everything in my obedience walk with the Lord. This really opened up my understanding and encouraged me. Because now I know about the rewards in heaven that I hadn’t realized fully until now. Gods bless you pastor Bill Johnson. Your messages have been a blessing to me.

[@calipete]

Pastor Bill, My prayer for you is that you are encouraged in the Lord as much as your ministry encourages the world! I praise and thank God for your obedience, because many of us are blessed by your "YES" to Him. Thank you!

[@marytetreault8168]

I agree with all your rich insights, Pastor Bill (Jesus is our Lord and we work for Him rather than vice versa, etc.). However, I have often mediated on this puzzling passage of Scripture, and I feel that spiritual opposition from the demonic was the reason why the Israelites were defeated the first two times. It was always God's will that they prevail in their righteous cause but, like us today, we are in a war and "taking a hill" is costly. We also experience casualties and set backs, but we will triumph in the end (Rom. 8:28). "I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in THE LAND OF THE LIVING. Wait for the Lord with courage; be stouthearted and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:13

[@kathyfann]

Absolutely all because of what He did for us all. I turn all my affection towards Jesus because my Husband Died 3 years ago and lonely is not necessary if You are as Close as You Can to Precious Wonderful Jesus

[@donnagile3687]

That was so good I started crying and worshipping in awe of God. Such a persuasive message to obey Him and joy from it.

Anyone who says that Bethel is just a prosperity gospel church should hear this. Obeying God not because you know what the outcome but because He is worthy… and no matter what happens, know that He is good.

[@yustinisoepardi8908]

thank so much pastor Bill for this eye opening message..... as a soldier of Christ the Living God, let's get up on the third day! God bless u pastor! Greetings from indonesia

[@H.Nenningger]

Thank you. I am at a point in my job where I ask myself "do I do what I believe is right and honorable or do I just keep my head low and proyecg my butt". I think about every time in the past where I did what I believed was right and it didn't work out. Thanks for strwgnthing my confidence. Part of me says I'm getting to old for these risks and need the security now but I also believe I am at where I am because God wanted me to be here.... I will follow the Lord.....

Thanks dear Pastor Bill for share your heart in this teachings I was looking for deep teaching and then your program show up, Yes I have been waiting for almost 15 years and didn't happen but the Holy Spirit revealed to me like he took a drop from my heart and in a moment I was OK, nothing bother me, I'm still in touch to that person a great man of God and I know the LORD has great plans for me and if nothing happen I'll be happy because I'm happy now.

[@Dh-uj8pr]

15:00 ... there's something powerful abt yielding to the sovereinty of God knowing that his goodness will more than make up for anything that I am in that is so confusing and doesn't seem to be headed in any kind of redemptive direction. Confidence of his goodness, yielding to his goodnes, thats the lifestyle of obedience. obedience provides us with several things ... but the lifestyle of obedience provides us with st that is one of the rarest commodities In the church and it should be the most common. And that is the clean conscience. 17:12 I know for a fact that I am harvesting today the seeds if you will that I planted 20 and 30 years ago. He is faithful but He is also wise. And He knows exactly when I will need what. My responsibility is not to obey SO THAT He will do st for me. I obey bc He is Lord. 21:55 ... when you and I stand before the Lord, our greatest tresures will be the things we didn't get rewareded for, here on earth. Our greatest treasure will be everytime we were rejected, instead of celebrated. The greatest moments where you will stand before, and you will be so thankful I was ignored, in that moment I should have been honored, but I was ignored, bc in that moment, you receive his reward. The greatest reward will come to us in that moment for things we didn't get fulfillment of here on earth. ... bc in those moments he makes up everything we missed here.

[@hkgarrett1]

I felt this message go straight to me heart. Then Bill mentions God raising up Green Berets at the 38 minute marek. I was obedient to follow Jesus into the Green Berets, and over the last 2 years I went to Green Beret (Army SF) selection and failed unexpectedly. It didn’t make sense to me. This was a reminder to be obedient and get up and try it for the third time.

[@UzomaBaileyAyogu]

Amen!!!! Pray for courage for us to be obedient and showing up on all our respective third days and beyond. Thank you for bringing me this word father

[@magnificalux]

"Obedience is better than sacrifice" "Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft." "What is rebellion? It's the insistence on me being in control. And what is witchcraft? Witchcraft as its most basic foundation is manipulation control." "There are measures in realms of triumph and victory that you were born for, that I was born for, some of which you only get the taste of on the third day."

[@ignitestreams22]

[@abinyetitus-green7166]

A few years ago, I was led to that same story in the book of Judges after serious disappointments in the same fashion as described in the story. After having a similar experience again recently, I remembered this scripture but didn't pay that much attention to it (I must have gotten a bit familiar with it). Bill has just elaborated it in such a way that I understand it so much better and I'm once again encouraged by it. Thank you so much, God bless you!

[@tgoodrum123]

I’m reminded of Hebrews 5:8 which says that Jesus learned obedience through suffering. If it was necessary for Jesus, how much more for us.

[@gordonolson1904]

Pastor Bill, I want to thank you again for YOUR obedience in bringing this important, challenging word to me. Indeed this was painful to hear. I find the level of discomfort in a message given to be commensurate with the level of conviction it brings to my way of believing. I find in your teaching the importance of needing what I needed to hear vs the shock of realizing this is an area I need to change: to believe and trust God even when my expectation of it happening the way I(!) think it should doesn't. Especially in the time frame I believe it should. I keep being reminded of Heb.12:11 with reference to the phrase 'THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY IT.' Like Jess DuPlantis likes to say, 'You cut me good there Brother!"

This message is the subtle correction in some WOF theology. Those who conclude learning scripture and confessing it moves God but miss the submission to Lordship part, the part where we center our heart and mind on His word and take thoughts captive to it and FOLLOWS the Spirit.

@@BillJohnsonMinistries I love your teachings, Bill. You have insights about the Word and God that really convicts me and leads me to repentance. I loved this teaching on obedience. However, saying that I am creepy for criticizing what I believe to be Copeland's love of money is not addressing the issue of what appears to be misuse of God's finances. But I'm a nobody so what do I know.
