Famous Quotes By Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 1691721

All I had to do was notice the need, and then take some risk to meet it with God's power. I suppose that many believers are intimidated by the idea of ministering in God's supernatural power, because they just do not feel as though they have the necessary ability to confidently release the Kingdom. I want to propose, however, that all believers possess the potential to operate in this way if they want to. Every believer has the potential ability to heal the sick, prophesy, and set people free. I know that too many of us are unaware that we are actually anointed beyond our ability as disciples of Jesus. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 278908

Most closed heavens for the Christian are between his ears. Believing a lie empowers the liar. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 2049349

Many people criticize those who long to experience more in God, but I don't trust the ones who don't. We are not going to be kept free from deception by abandoning experience. In fact, the ones who do not hunger more for God are already deceived. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 1047070

God doesn't have to try to do supernatural things. He is supernatural. He would have to try to not be. If He is invited to a situation, we should expect nothing but supernatural invasion. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 405107

Compromise is the welcome mat to deception. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 1971618

Many have made the mistake of thinking that Christians are to be the heads of all corporations, governments, and departments. As good as that may sound, it's actually a fruit of the true goal. Christlikeness - excellence with humility - is the real goal. Promotion comes from the Lord. If we spent more time developing a Kingdom heart, we'd have more people in key places of leadership. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 781584

Bill Johnson Quotes 181166

Those who restrict themselves to mere words limit their gift, and may unintentionally lead believers to pride by increasing knowledge without an increased awareness of God's presence and power.

Moving in the impossible through relying on God short-circuits the development of pride. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 1240847

Adam and Eve were placed in the garden with a mission. God said, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it" (Gen. 1:28). It was God's intention that as they bore more children, who also lived under God's rule, they would be extending the boundaries of His garden (His government) through the simplicity of their devotion to Him. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 2166750

I can't afford to live in reaction to darkness. If I do, darkness has had a role in setting the agenda for my life. The devil is not worthy of such influence, even in the negative. Jesus lived in response to the Father. I must learn to do the same. — Bill Johnson

Corporate greed is killing America, and that's what we battling at Boeing. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 1372729

Jesus did not go through all His sufferings so we could go to church; He did what He did to atone for sin. And by doing so He made it possible to raise up a new breed of world changers, those who could maintain the standard He set in love, purity and power. This reality is one of the great prophecies that Jesus spoke: "Greater works than these shall you do because I go to the Father" (see John 14:12). Not only does Jesus' life compel us to follow the miracle worker, so do His promises. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 1443813

Bill Johnson Quotes 83118

Faith does not come from our understanding. It comes from the heart. We do not believe because we understand; we understand because we believe (see Heb. 11:6). We'll know when our mind is truly renewed, because the impossible will look logical. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 928870

Fear is just faith in the wrong person. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 2036530

The testimony of revival history teaches us that very few men and women of God really learn how and when to do this. In case after case, the same person who carried a marvelous anointing that brought salvation, healing, and deliverance to thousands of people lacked the wisdom to see that he or she would not be able to sustain that ministry if he didn't learn to get away from the crowds long enough to get physical rest and to cultivate life-giving relationships with family and friends who could reaffirm his or her focus on the Kingdom. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 1540153

Any area of my life for which I have no hope is under the influence of a lie. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 2001068

We, as sons and daughters of God, are destined to reveal our Father to the world by bearing His likeness.

Bill Johnson Quotes 1742284

He arms us with purpose by giving us a promise instead of the answer. That way, we are forced to learn how to believe Him before the answer comes and then learn how to exercise His will in the circumstances that are contrary to the given promise. This is part of what it means to be a co-laborer with Christ. He labors, and we labor with Him. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 1874003

Bill Johnson Quotes 909745

Those who progress are those who understand that God's highest purpose for the Cross was not merely to forgive us of sin. It was so that, by forgiving us on the basis of Christ's blood, He could invite us back into an intimate family relationship with Him, our heavenly Father. John 1:12 says, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name."This legal standing of relationship to God as His sons and daughters is precisely what gives us an inheritance. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 723155

Bill Johnson Quotes 655481

The anointing to heal and bring deliverance will be of no value in Heaven. These graces must be used here and now as part of the package of tools used to bring the nations to Jesus. After all, He is called "the desire of the nations."Everyone desires Jesus. They just don't know it. We must become like Him more fully so that the harvest becomes all that God desires and has provided for. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 635570

The way you think either expresses or undermines faith. — Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson Quotes 556627

God has called us into a place of tenderness, when nobody is looking, when there are no great decisions to make, when it's just him and me in a hotel room, with no one to pray for, no one to preach to. When it is just two people in a room, that's where you learn. That's where you learn his heartbeat. That's where you learn the presence. That's where you learn the voice. It's in the moments when nobody is watching, nobody is evaluating how good you're doing. When it is just you and him. — Bill Johnson
