Glory - Bill Johnson

Made For His Glory

The Lord designed you to live in His glory. The glory of God has a rhythm to it. As we come into the presence, there is a rhythm so that we learn to beat as one with Him. God has put a deposit of Himself in you so that there is hope for the glory of God to completely fill the earth.
You don't want to be found guilty of trying to get God to bless what you are doing, but want to do what God is blessing. Need to live from the anchor point of the glory of the Lord.
What we are about to see on the earth, is going to come from those who can navigate well through the glory.

 

 

The Greater Glory

On the Mount of Transfiguration Jesus took the three to encounter the Father. He was transfigured which is the root of the word used in Romans 12 "be transformed by the renewing of your mind." The transformation on the Mount of Transfiguration is a prophetic picture of what we have in Lord after our mind is renewed.
Our original destiny was to love and dwell in the glory. In the glory, unless your heart is beating with the tempo of heaven, the glory will make you nervous. If you don't have your mind on the Ultimate, you will be driven by the immediate.
A new kind of leader being raised up where they know how to navigate in the glory. God is looking for a generation who wants the glory for no other reason than to be in it.

 

The Favor of His Face - Bill Johnson

Everything about you was designed to have continuous encounters with the Lord. The original design was for us to live in the manifest presence of the Lord. in Deuteronomy 4, the Lord spoke to the people in the mist of fire. They heard His voice but saw no form so that they could not make an idol from the form. The lack of clarity with which we are allowed to see the Lord is typically due to the idolatry in our hearts. The Lord will not show you more than you can handle and maintain your purity.
It is easy to get caught up in the manifestations which are essential and miss the face which is hidden in the clouds. When you try to reduce the experience to a principle, to that degree, He will withhold His presence. Every time you see the Holy Spirit move, the Face of God is there.
The Lord is about to reveal a measure of His goodness we have never known. We will fear the Lord because of the His goodness revealed.

Bill Johnson

Bill JohnsonBILL JOHNSON, Senior Leader of Bethel Church, is a fifth generation pastor with a rich heritage in the things of the Spirit. He serves a growing number of churches that have partnered for revival. This apostolic network has crossed denominational lines in building relationships that enable church leaders to walk in both purity and power. The present move of God has brought Bill into a deeper understanding of the phrase, "On earth as it is in heaven." Heaven is the model for our life and ministry. Learning to recognize the Holy Spirit's presence, and how to follow His lead will enable us to do the works of Christ, destroying the works of the devil. Bill and the Bethel Church family have taken on this theme for life and ministry. He teaches that we owe the world an encounter with God, and that a Gospel without power is not the Gospel that Jesus preached. Bill is the author of several books, including “When Heaven Invades Earth” and “Face to Face With God.”
