Why You Need to Be Filled With the Holy Spirit - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel Church

Bill Johnson teaches on our need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and with power. There is a simple solution for every problem we face in life, God is the answer to everything. Baptism in the Holy Spirit connects us with God’s peace, wisdom, power, and divine solutions for every situation. Before Jesus ascended to Heaven, He instructed the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they were filled with the Holy Spirit and with power. Teaching from Acts 2 and the day of Pentecost, Bill Johnson encourages listeners to seek the Lord for a fresh baptism in the Holy Spirit, and be filled to overflowing.

This was a great testimony. My story in short is I got into the new age via starseeds after I saw a UFO and continued to see flashes and objects in the night sky. I got into crystals (as im poorly with chronic fatigue) reiki, LOA, past life regression, psychic readings.. In always felt something was off as any benefits I got were very short lived and you always needed to find out more answers or do more healings... I then thought I'd try to become a reiki healer and just as I was about to sign up I believe God was nudging me not to. I had doubts about it and then I severely sprained my ankle so I couldn't walk for 3 months which stopped me going to reiki training. In that time I saw more new age to Jesus testimonies and found out all about the free masons, satantic things which further confirmed GOD (jesus Christ) is real, it all clicked. Thank you

We are the bride which comes from His side, purchased by His blood. He is the head, the vine, He is in us, we are in Him... He lives through us.

I am so grateful for this ministry. Bill Johnson is an anointed man of God, diving into the deep things of God while still adding mirth to every sermon.

I come into agreement that my son and grandson will be healthy, while, and healed (spiritually and emotionally). That he and his x and her extended family will end their fighting and my grandson will live in peace.

Spirit is so gentle in leading… the desire to immerse more and more grows stronger every day
This practice of Spirit’s “more”; yielding, Spirit lead
So so so gentle, kind & patient

We can not conceive of this journey any other way
Thank you Pastor Bill and all who lead us to Holy Spirit growth & development
Kingdom Come
Will Be Done 🔥

Dear Jesus, as I go tonight, may I experience Your tangible presence. May You over shadow me.

This is such good teaching! The very idea of fullness cause me to overflow. So much Grace. My son, when he was very small inspired me to tell him, "You're not small, you're just big for your size. It was the kind of apparent 'nonsense' that Dr Suess often put down in words and pictures: you just knew by it that Life was something bigger than any and all concepts. He could kinda understand me saying that, at the sublime level because he was still closer to God, as little children are, than to the world.

He tenderizes our hearts as we yield to Him🇨🇦❤️🔥🙏🏼

I was watching this to learn about being filled in the Spirit. About
35ish mins into it, Bill says “condition of our heart influences what we think” after that he calls something off subject, 😂 even his off subject is so timely, what I needed to hear today😅

That was so helpful. It shined a light in my own heart. I must confess I lived a measure in disappointment. I was flailing & at times felt like giving up. I want to do the Lord's highest in my life but somehow my dreams seemed beyond me & just not panning out. That was just the word I needed to realise where I was failing in my walk, bearing a wrong attitude, but now I will continue by God's grace come what may. I refuse to give up & I'm thankful I can with His help correct the part of my life in which I was allowing the 'leak' through which my faith was draining away. God bless you guys & thank you to all. As a 2nd thought to what I just shared though I felt a sense of disappointment I refused to murmur, I refused to give up & let the enemy have sway in my life but what I see now is that I was harbouring disappointment. I felt I had a right to allow it into my life. I was in fact disappointed at God & by harbouring it I was actually murmuring. Perhaps not in the way the children of Israel did in the desert nevertheless it was the devil's territory & I somewhat unwittingly was allowing him that corner of my heart. Again God Bless & thankyou. The truth certainly does set us free. A wonderful lesson.

As a west coast creative this was so good! Loved the Tesla story, totally relate 😂 Also the bit about short hair styles for women 🤣👍🏻 2 yrs in I’m still on the hunt for a stylist. I’m always endeavoring to “go low” and lower still. ❤Once again, and amazing podcast!

[auntiebre]

This talk on the Holy Spirit was outstanding. I honestly cannot stop sharing it!!! TY for so many scriptures and keeping it going and going!!!

I also love the comment of “Loving Him in their own language. “I am experiencing this, in my gradual immersion of the islands, Kanaka Ma’oli culture. My experience is all cultures can be touched with the Holy Spirit, who has inspired and awakened the worshipers with divine love, and acceptance, forgiveness and all the qualities of the living God, available to all, when their hearts turn towards his fullness. The shining of his face turns away all darkness, melts boundaries, blends understanding in Union. His comfort is immesurable. Holy Spirit, bathe me with light, as the mists form all around me, I send my prayer, through the wind, and above the sea…Thank you for touching me! 🕊🕊🕊🔥♥️🔥🕊🕊🕊🔥♥️🔥⚡️💥♥️🌺🌎🌈
