  • Bill Johnson talks about the value of delay and how God uses delayed answers to prayer. We like the outcomes and the breakthroughs, but God values the journey. In seasons of waiting and delay, God is actually shaping our hearts and character in such a way as to form us into people who will steward well the breakthroughs when they come. Delays bring to the surface areas of our lives in which we don’t yet fully trust God. God allows these things to come up never to shame us, but to invite us into greater healing and freedom. It is in the journey that we become strengthened in the Lord and confident of His goodness.

    I pray that Dr. Bill Johnsons does not get discouraged as he is ministering just because folks aren't jumpin' over pews and rolling out a thunderous applause...people are quiet because they are thinking and trying to comprehend and digest the Word that he is ministering...he goes SO deep in the Word and so high in God that it takes time for us "common folks" to catch up. Most times he is "so deep and so high" that I must listen to the message like 3Xs. Good Word. Keep sharing what you're bringing down the mountain "Moses". 🙏💜✝️🥳 Anointed man of God Bill Johnson. God bless you and your family.

      I'm sure he understands that he teaches 'meat'. It's good that people take the time to digest...saying amen and clapping throughout the sermon sometimes may indicate be 'milky' teaching...not a good indicator of depth.

    Wow. Excellent word. So timely, and I can see how God has geniusly been doing this in my life without my knowing. 😂 I pray for the right heart, so that God doesn’t have to keep delaying things beyond what He intended, but I thank Him for His merciful delay thus far.

    Well, for the most part i agree with this message about the journey and character building. But what about delay in a miracle healing in the human body!? A healing so necessary that if it doesn't happen soon, one will die!?
    A disease so painful and so debilitating, that it causes you to be bedridden for yearsss! A disease so diabolical and horrifically painful, that in requires pain meds and sleep meds to even exist day to day!?
    How can God allow this !? 😫😭

    I love Bill Johnson's teachings. I always get a lot out of them. They are spiritually deep messages. However, this is the first time I was disappointed listening to him. It's okay to goof around but that "joke" about prescription drugs was flat out wrong. You are a ministry that believes in divine healing. You shouldn't be joking about wanting to take prescription drugs because it's easier. It was so out of character for Bill. You didn't stop either! You went on and on dragging it out and just making it worse the more you tried to goof around about it. I was driving in my car coming home from a long day at work enjoying the message until the prescription drug joke part. What made it worse was that cackling woman in the background with her ear piercing shrill of a laugh encouraging Bill to keep going. Her laugh sounded like a demon rejoicing that Bill was crossing a line. I couldn't take it anymore. The message was over for me after that. Man Bill what were you thinking?
