The Secret Place of Power - Bill Johnson (Full Sermon) | Bethel Church

- čas přidán 3. 11. 2022
- The power of the Gospel is often displayed through bold acts of faith, but a secret place of power is found in our weakest moments, our losses and disappointments. In this full sermon, Bill Johnson teaches from Pauls words in 2 Corinthians 12: 9; “I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” We all experience loss and disappointment in life. Don’t miss these opportunities to bring them before God in surrender, that He may show up and display His power in an incredible way.

Speaking from a broken heart, the loss of your wife, your love for Him only gets deeper Bill. I met you several times in Taiwan. And much of my work in Taiwan and Nepal are still going as I continue to plants seeds into the heart of Asia. Today as I listened to this message, it brought the cookies to a lower shelf. I , too, lost me wife and family some years back. It broke me in half spiritually. I survived the drink, and motorcycle accidents and in great despair.. I didn't blame Him as I know we live in fallen world. I had lost all hope. In this broken state I began to manifest more healings and power, as it is truly is Him working through me as much as I allowed. I have finally crossed over, though the hurt and scars remain and I'm still on the journey . Thank you for the depth of the message. It rings home and true. Love you,,,,, Stephen
What a testimony. Your heart rings true. Love it.

I lost my husband seven months ago. Fifteen minutes in to this video, I let loose and cried...for the loss of what could have been, for for the joy of what we had. I look around at the photos I have of him and smile through tears. This music is so soothing, so healing. May God be with us all as we wait to join our loved ones. Accept Jesus into your hearts, be still and know He is God! Rest in peace, Robbie...I love you!
This time last year God woke me at 5am and told me to take my husbands down vest (which he outgrew) to a young homeless man that I had avoided because he had a problem with anger... But... 5am, 20°, and not knowing where Don might be, I put the vest inside my jacket to keep it warm and walked about 1/2 mi through a rough neighborhood until I saw Don sitting at a picnic table, rocking and sobbing in the darkness. I stood quietly then asked, "Why are you so sad?". Don said. "I'm too cold. I'm too cold,!" I told him God told me to bring him a down vest and asked him to take his jacket off (it fell behind him in the dust) and I put the vest on him and his jacket back on him (a thin leather jacket with no lining).
Don came to me, wrapped his arms around my neck, thanking me as he sobbed until my jacket was soaked all through.
The Holy Spirit told me to tell him that He missed Don and wants him to come back. Don said he had been filled with the Spirit 30yrs earlier and the Spirit changed him drastically. I repeated, "He wants you to come back to Him"... Don wrapped his arms around me and sobbed again till his teats soaked all through.
I left him... When I got filled with the Holy Spirit in 1990 He told me, "People don't belong to you. They belong Me" ... I was to leave them with Him.
Saw my homeless friends 2wks later and they told me with tears in their eyes that Don got a stimulus check and bought them all new leather boots so now their feet were warm.
Last time I saw Don he was all cleaned up, had a new backpack and was going to the bus terminal... Don was going home.
What a beautiful story. Thank you fir sharing it. Thank You, Lord, for the simple gentle ways Your Love brings deliverance. Bless my sister...
Wow! We don’t need a well trained carnal man…we need a surrendered spirit!
I WANT TO BE BORN AGAIN
I just simply want to say THANK YOU for the simplicity of the gospel you preach! God has been so faithful to me and I've grown in an understanding that I always hungered for of His Word and the Power of His Word. My husband died 7 1/2 years ago and I felt so desolate and abandoned for about 4 years when in the night the Holy Spirit summoned me back and I repented and decided to trust my Father again. My husband believed he would be healed of pancreatic cancer and died believing for that and he would hear nothing contrary to that! I never got to say goodbye...see you later.
Anyway, I'm now in a intimate relationship with my Saviour, Father, and Holy Spurit! I've found joy, peace, and contentment and continued hunger for more. He takes such good care of me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually and my growth has had alot to do with connecting to Bethel and teachings online. I've been a Christian for 63 years and I'm so excited about hearing and responding in obedience.....I'm a fruitful branch attached to the Vine and the Vinedresser has been so faithful to continue to "prune" my thinking and responses. I'm able to love and serve others in obedience to Him! YAY GOD! Thank you again for your obedience in preaching the simplicity of His gospel....
Majestic Heavenly Father God and King of Glory Jesus God by the Power of the Holy Spirit bless those who teach at Bethel Church in Redding California this April 2nd 2023....cause great rejoicing of miracles, signs, and wonders to fall the entire Bethel Apostolic Center and the Bethel Global Movement Stream....Hallelujah Shalom and and Selah and Amen.
Listening to this message several times, as there is so much here to apply to my life, as I continue to surrender to His will and purpose for my life. Thank you Bill, I have learned so much from you, I truly appreciate you and your ministry. Love from North Dakota.
You must be a girl 👧 that is why
I ditto that! Great post ND girl! My family roots are all in ND.❣️
My back got healed watching this . Thank you
From 26 min to 26.40 is so profound. I listened to that over and over.
Yes! Thanks for highlighting that bit, truly insightful, great exposition
Blessings
This is my surrender! They took away my job by mandating a jab. I’ve lost almost everything. King Jesus reigns. He gets all the glory, for the hard times, too. And I will submit by obeying His leading for future employment.
Amen, sister. He knows the way for You, because He IS the Way.
Powerful ! I’ve jus lost my husband on the 13 th Nov n it’s difficult through this phase but I know with Christ his strength is displayed n his love comes through in every situation n yes it’s truly surrender n yielding to the spirit where we’d see the supernatural come over us Alleluia to you Jesus be all the glory honour n praise Amen n Amen ❤️✨🩸🙏
I surrender and give my life to Jesus
What an awesome message! I’m sorry for your loss of Beni! I lost my husband of 41 years to pancreatic Ca 6 years ago! Our family outcome polar opposites of what we contended for! I love God more than ever! He is faithful and good! Thanks for this timely word! May God Bless , strengthen and continue to use you mightily!
Thank you for this word! Help me Jesus be more like you and less like me. Praising you through each and every storm.
Not a religious person, but this popped into my recommended. Tried reading along with lyrics, but couldn't see the last half, because of the tears that that filled my eyes! Incredible! Bravo!!
But your profile says,"Hillsong worship"... Sounds like you may need to change "what" and "how" you feel about yourself and what your called to. Pray and ask Holy spirit what person he wants you to be. God never asked us to be religious, he wanted and still wants a relationship. Our confessions about "who" we think we are and "aren't" can overshadow the Will of God and cause the lines to be blurred while interacting with God but never being transformed because of what we choose to believe about ourselves, or not choose to believe. I pray this helps you. Nothing but love here.
You’re also a kid, huh? Check the profile, folks. These phonies are everywhere sadly.
Thank you for a word in season that I can believe God for the salvation and restoration of my family.
12 tribe of Israel, 12 Apostles of Jesus, may the Majestic Heavenly Father God and the King of Glory Jesus God by the Power of the Holy Spirit 12X the Bethel Global Apostolic Centers and Bethel Global Movement Streams.....Shalom and Selah and Amen.
I want to be a follower of Jesus
Thank you and bless you Bill, this teaching is such a great insight. May you find comfort in using your loss in this way, to give greater insight to the Scriptures, so very thankful for you.

Wow!! God just answered all my anguished questions through Bill’s sharing and teaching. Thank you Lord! I surrender !
Blessings
What a life-giving message! I had gotten more out of Bill's messages from his life experiences, including his disappointments, than just about anything else. I really need these messages and I am very grateful
Thank you Pastor Bill......His grace is sufficient. Love you ...Blessings.
Thankyou so much as always for your message and teaching Bill. Your ministry has poured into my life in such a profound way. I'm so thankful you make these available freely so you can build up, edify and lift the wider Christian body even outside Bethel.
thanks so much
Thank you Father for this word from our brother Bill thank you Father for Jesus who gave his life so we could hear when we believe in you Jesus we have access the door opens thank you all the spirit for leading us and teaching us and guiding us and for blessing the words that came out of bills mouth and his life and I thank you Holy Spirit for those helpful angels that you have given to each one of us and for those that don't know you may they come to surrender and say yes now I do I do repent I do recognize my need to be forgiven and thank you for forgiving me and those that are listening to this may your will be done and now as you told us to pray that you are the lord of the Harvest in you can send out labors us if we're willing may we labor for you and do and be what you want us to be as we travel along this road of life in Jesus wonderful name thank you Father for hearing our prayers amen
God has put it in our hearts; it's been spoken out loud by four of my friends who live here and several others have agreed with us, "Lord, save every soul in Stewart County".
We know that God is willing to save EVERYONE, "whoever calls on the Name of the Lord". As we pray, God is invading our land. Heaven is coming down, here in Stewart County, Tennessee. The children are more tuned in than the adults. GLORY TO GOD!!!
Awakening is happening! HALLELUJAH!!!
Keep on praying!!!
Prophecy man of God!
Oh! Glory to God!
This teaching has been such an affirming blessing. At times my disappointments feel very overwhelming. This truth helps me offer simple worship to Jesus in those moments. The oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Thank you Bill.
Open Heaven Blessings over you and your dear family.
5Cents, his wife just passed away not even 3 months ago from cancer. He still believes God is a healer. God grace is abundant in him right now in his loss. This is his place of weakness. He could've been angry with God.
Decernment is the Holy Download of the Lords' mainframe of truth, from the search engine of Divinty, Amen❣️
Thank You, Lord our Father, in Heaven❣️ Thank You, for Your Blessings and Gifts, for Your Truth and Love❣️ Thank You Father, as I am humbled by such Great Gifts and Grace, Amen❣️

A Word in season for me. Thank you LORD. Thank you so much.
Wow wow wow! All glory to You LORD for what you have done and are doing in Brother Johnson’s life!
I recently experienced a great loss and felt the power in my weakness you are referring too. I chose to rejoice and believe my God still gets The Glory. I have been praying for you this very thing. To God be the Glory for the thing He has done!
Thanks for sharing!!
Marking another life changing moment. I'm searching online for not really knowing what spiritual food - waiting for my church to begin. Thanking God for stumbling onto this. Thanking you, words fail completely bowled over by His love and care and message for me today. I, too, lost my husband, love of my life age 25. I am now 53. How do I celebrate that moment. Survived partying, crossing over to the dark side, and brought back on His shoulders - a little lost and hurt sheep. Today is full circle and joyful moment finding "the how" and "the why" and so much more. What a blessed Sunday morning!! Praises and thanks for Him and amazing beautiful stewards as you
Oh, you don't know HOW MUCH that revelation about weakness (around 19-20') just touched my heart. THANK YOU, Bill!!
We need to have a renewed mind to be ready for him to come back 💗🙏
If you can trust Me with loss, I can trust you with gain.
Bill Johnson is grieving and putting it to death or should I say putting it to life. I feel his pain.
I don’t know Jesus as I want to know Him and love him please pray for me that He will reveal himself to me, but I have the Holy Spirit in me , as I pray I break out in tongues and I’m filled with joy. But I feel I don’t know and love Jesus enough. My name is Daphne Zopari Misra from India. I long to know Jesus
Glory to God. Thank you so much for choosing to obey Sir
This makes me weep, this message just beautiful
I want to follow Jesus and that is what I have been praying for. I am trying to pay off cancer expenses and was just laid off from work where I have had to endure a very negative atmosphere for the past year, but I needed the work. I know your wife passed away recently, but I bless your body because the Lord has blessed you with such a word from the Lord due to your love for His Word. Stay strong, the world NEEDS the spirit you have such an ability to channel through your human body. I'm sure hunting meat helps...lol.
My husband has a big drinking and smoking addiction please pray for him to be free it’s causing problems in our marriage
I surrender all to Jesus
Amen Jesus.
Thank you, Pastor Bill. We are watching you at JRC this week from South Dakota. We are on the online chat dream team and it is so busy and we are so privileged to pray with people there. Thank you Pastor Bill for everything. Maybe next time will be able to see you in person either in Missouri or a visit to California. God bless you and we pray for you every single day.
I give my life to you Jesus every day that I'm alive, every day that my lungs can take in air I will give my life to you glorious God who died on the cross for me thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus , thank you Jesus Amen .
What happens in sin it starts as something of the flesh but when it’s repeated over and over again it becomes a spiritual sin, it’s empowered by the demonic
It becomes supernaturally empowered
- Bill Johnson
I have had a bondage in my flesh for 70 years as I get closer to God Jesus and the Holy spirit it is falling away one day at a time praise his Holy name
Wow i rejoyce in my weakest Moments because Jesus gets a greater Praise trough me in my weakness. I surrender. Thanks Bill for this word become flesh.
compass due north Amen
Wowowowowow. Beyond words. So relevant for me right now. Thank you, Bill. &Thank you Bethel. Too heavy for me to acknowledge the parts that brought me to tears, so I'll mention some parts that made me laugh-- out loud, by myself-- the country music comment and the matching hanky especially. Made me like you even more than Kris ;)
Ooo- Wheee! Too Live my LIFE (From a HIGHER- REALM(!) ). TOO " INSTIGATE & IMPLANT" a Special- Divine-" C R A V I N G " For a ' HIGHER- PLANE ' That They Weren't - Even Aware of! -One- MINUTE BEFORE- TheySaw JESUS+ They SENSED The Holy Spirit, LIVING THRU- ME ! By GOD's SPECIAL GRACE & POWER !
I'm going to make a Poster of that, and put it up on the Wall! ! !
Sorry Folks; I am apparently 'Bad at 'Over-Capitaliz-ing', But, "WOW!", The Whole Quote and Reference(s), could be "Capped!".
Surrender is a beautiful key that sets you free of human boundaries of limitations that keep you away from the joyous freedom found only in Him -- trusting, partaking, uniting, desiring, hoping, longing, seeking, serving and enjoying Him. Hallelujah!!!
I want to know Jesus
Gospel death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ paid for are sins that we may be righteous enough to be in the presence of God thru faith alone not of works. John3;16 Eph.2;8,9.
So so good! If He knows my love for Him remains unchanged even in the hard times, then He trusts me with more! So so good!
#lessofmemoreofYouJesus
Thank you Pastor Bill. As always, I receive so much from this fresh manna! Blessings from Iowa!
Thank you for this amazing message. It really meant so much to me.
I enjoy the laughs in between.
I just love to listen to God’s Word
Thank you again!
Goodstuff
Oh God, how much we thank you for this teacher of yours. Heaven becomes clear on Earth.
Ty for this Word of Jesus Christ 💖🙏
Hermanos amado en Cristo, un saludo desde México. Por favor traduzcan las predicas al español, muchas gracias bendiciones.
Thank you from South Africa
Pray for me I’m far away from God.
I keep backsliding into old sins of smoking and drinking......My faith in CHRIST is total......I expect He will help me to deal with it.......but that is just the smallest part of the attacks I am receiving from Satanists.........I am not afraid of them.........and their murder
I'm sorry to say that I was recently in a position of feeling like I had nothing, but I panicked, did not respond well.
Thank you for this good word, Bill. ✨
Wow. Thank you Pastor Bill. This spoke directly to my heart. Thank you.
In the moment of weakness, brokenness , loss to still say Yes opens up the opportunity for God to say yes and in his yes there is a complete demonstration of the gospel 🙏.
Thank you Pastor Bill Johnson
❤
I live 20 minutes from cut and shoot texas...too funny!!!
The word of God heals my soul.
I forgot how much enjoy Bill Johnson and the depth of his messages , but now I'm remembering how many times I have to pick up my phone to skip the ads. More than any other CZcams videos. Why so many ads?
Are the advertisers taking advantage of bethel's popularity? There's an ad every 5 minutes. It's distracting.
God is surely in that place
Papa Bill at his best.
I needed this today! Thank You Lord!
Amen. Such an encouraging message.
this message was so beautiful- love the humility and brokenness that is working along with the power of the gospel and manifestation of the Spirit..
Thank you,Pastor Bill
I love the joke !
Received in Jesus mighty name Amen
I so needed this today.... thank You Lord ❤️
Thank you for this message... I needed to hear it.
