How do you perceive pruning? Bill Johnson brings perspective from John 15 that pruning is God's reward to growth, not His punishment. Through the parable of the vinedresser, we see how God has designed an ecosystem for increase and productivity. We are invited into fruitfulness that is a natural result from abiding in Him.

It's a great reminder that my trials are not necessarily punishment, especially since I don't know what I've done wrong. Maybe it's not punishment, but maybe it's God pulling back veils that are blocking his healing nature. Praise be to God

    Praying for you! I’m so sorry for your loss, but please remember God is closest to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. I pray for His love, and comfort to surround you and His peace that is beyond understanding to be with you. Jeremiah 29:11 says that God’s plans are not to harm us, but to prosper us, to give us a hope and a future. I speak this over you right now. You might not know what’s going to happen but God does and He has amazing plans for your life. Hold on to Him, this is a season, and it will pass! Jesus is our hope in glory, He gives life to every situation that appears hopeless. I have faith that He will make a way for you in your situation. Cast all your cares on Him, He really does care for you. God bless you 🤍

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. If you shall confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved. For we are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. If you shall confess your sins, God is faithful and just to forgive you of your sins AND to cleans you from all unrighteousness. Call upon the Lord and confess your sins to Him. Make him your Lord and bow your knee to Him.

    Really needed some good news during all of this Covid. 4 minutes in and there were 3 commercials. Usually I can just skip. This day, because of circumstances I couldn’t keep skipping. So, I exited disappointed. 3-4 adds at 1 time is ridiculous

    Not to offend but if the enemy knows that's all it takes to turn you around, he'll get you every time. Perseverance and patience are "biggies" to get into the deeper things of God.

    Miracles are not the only means by which we are transformed. Jesus said we are to live by Every word of God. How many believe every word of God. How many believe the entire Old Testament is literal and true. This is a big problem with Christianity. Once you put the word of God above the testimony of the world then you renew. This world is constantly refuting all the Bible and especially the Old Testament and this is a challenge in itself. Simply that heaven is above is a challenge to believe.

    Wait, what did he say? I’m glad this is recorded cause I nearly missed it @ 11:43 Jesus is not our older brother! :/ This is the first video that came up when I searched Bethel church sermon and Bill Johnson’s teaching is wrong. This is why it’s so important to know the bible for ourselves. This sermon focuses on “increase” @ 13:35, pruning the vine does not mean God will reward you, this is “manipulating scripture” to suit your message. I couldn’t bring myself to finish the video sorry. I hope the next video is better!! If you are watching this, i pray that will have eyes to see and ears to hear and know the true gospel, in Jesus mighty name

    Biblically, the first born received the blessing. Prior to Bill saying that Jesus is our older brother, Bill is talking about how everything is Jesus', as if he is the oldest son who received the entire inheritance. The very next sentence that Bill directly quotes is John 16:15 which directly speaks the point that he is trying to make. "He (the Holy Spirit) will take what is mine (everything) and declare it to you (saved Christians). Bill is talking about an inheritance. Outside of Jesus, man deserves no inheritance. Bill has never taught on a false doctrine that Jesus is our older brother, he is just using this as a reference to show that we have access and authority through Jesus.

    13:35. Bill never says that God will reward you if you prune. His direct quote (13:28-13:35) is "You have to see that the Lord does everything for the purpose of increase. The Father is extremely focused on increase." 13:36 Bill then directly tells us of the scripture of the Talents and the Minas (Matt.25:14-30 & Luke 19:11-27). This parable is about increase, and how upset the master was when the man who he gave one talent to only came back with one talent- no increase. The master then told him: 26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? I hope this helps you! Have a great day!

    After listening to that portion several times, I have come to the conclusion that Bill said "he [Jesus] IS our elder brother." Jesus is our elder brother, for we are adopted into the family. When you are born again, you become a son of God. Legally, because Jesus is called THEN Son of God, Jesus is our elder brother, which Bill said. Secondly, you are pruned to produce more fruit. The more fruit you produce, the greater your reward will be. Therefore, you need to STURDY your Bible.

    Romans 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Romans 8:17 Heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. Video between about 6:30 through 7:05. Fruit is produced naturally as we grow and all fruit bearing branches get pruned. As far as I heard, Bill didn't refer at any time about getting a reward in this sermon except use the word "reward" in saying that God rewards fruit bearing with pruning. He uses the word "increase" in terms of providing us with the increase of productivity in order to advance God's kingdom.
