Keys to Promotion: How to Strengthen Yourself in a Test - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel Church
Ойын-сауық
Bill Johnson teaches on keys to promotion and how to strengthen yourself when you are being tested. Learning how to minister to and encourage yourself in the face of trials, rejection, and hardship is key in positioning yourself for promotion and the fulfillment of God’s promises. David faced rejection and hardship for many years before becoming king, and it was right before being anointed as king that he faced his hardest test when his own men turned against him. Instead of becoming discouraged, David strengthened himself in the Lord and won a great victory, leading into his promotion.

The one thing that I have learned is that not only our Father knows everything about us and nothing is hidden from him but so to the Occult spirit world. The huge difference is that, in Jesus Christ we have the assurance of the forgiveness of sin when we repent in our prayers because of what Jesus Christ did on the Cross, once for this time of God’s Grace, by faith in Him. Please like ten to what Randy Kay is saying in his video 467 and bring yourself into line in Jesus Christ.

Amen 🙏 God bless your family for your kind heart towards the less privileged❤ God will continue to provide for your family necessities
I just had a rev that David deserved to be King becos he took on and cared about the discouraged, disenfranchised, rejects of society. He cared about the lowly, the average, and high in society. He took the rejects and they became mighty men. Today, so many churches just want instant maturity & reject those who need some help for a while. Makes me wonder what strength the churches are missing out on
Needed to hear this message. Older, by myself but not alone. Learning to encourage myself in the Lord. So many fall into depression because they don’t do this!

Thank you pastor for having a heart towards foster kids, and thank you for encouraging others to open their hearts as well.
No, it’s not hard to imagine… rejected on ALL fronts. It’s very real- even being accepted into the philistine camp, yet rejected in leadership though they see your capabilities; just scared of you turning things to God.. it’s amazing how running to the STRONG TOWER” becomes your HOME.. your safe place.. THE ONLY ONE WHO TRUELY KNOWS THE VERY FIBER OF YOUR BEING.. no wonder I LOVE THE PSALMS!

Psalms are life giving! His words are spirit and life! John 6:63
Nehemiah 8:10 10 Then he said unto them, “Go your way, eat the fat and drink the sweet, and send portions unto those for whom nothing is prepared, for this day is holy unto our Lord; neither be ye sorry, (“for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”)
I must have 3rd grade humour too, I get a laugh out of that joke every time Bill tells it and I play it back for my kids!!!! 🤣 It's a good one!
🙌🏼🔥 Glory to God for this message
Wowww... This's soo good ❤ Praise The Lord🙌🕊️
As usual full of wisdom. You are completely full of wisdom pastor Bill Johnson. God bless you and your family.
I've read that stat about the amount of churches and foster children ready for adoption. I've prayed for the two to match up. Love the story of that little church. Heard it on Focus on the Family years ago. Glad it's coming to more recognition.
Praise it away praise it away. Praise it away praise it away in Jesus, mighty name, and it changes the atmosphere.
Supernatural Breakthrough of God to suddenly come forth to God people without delay in Jesus Mighty Name.
I needed this Pastor, Its cardinal that one encourage themself and know their identity in the Lord. God bless.
Hallelujah praise the Lord
I think that was the best joke I've heard him tell yet it was hilarious
As per Luke 10:20. Only the joy that comes from our hope of eternal life in Heaven is unaffected by temporal events, surroundings and seasons of frustration or effectiveness in ministry. "20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
SOOO PERFECTLY STATED! I thank God for you Sir!!!
Thank you for continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough. God surely is at work behind the scenes and I am longing to see it in the flesh

Creio que Deus pode mostrar esse resultado esperado sim, porém, não precisa ficar ansioso, basta aguardar em Deus, Moisés não entrou na Terra Prometida, mas, teve participação importante e isso o sr. já tem. Deus continue abençoando!

The story sounds familiar. Yes, the Lord has been having me Jump through all these hoops go places, moved, drop families.I still haven't figured all out What His real plan is. What I do see is pieces coming together. And what I do have is faith that the puzzle will become complete🤲

Fostering issues very interesting!❤
The cmon sir lady is driving me nuts lol 😂
Funny the Lord has been nudging me to read Strengthen Yourself in the Lord. I’ll get to it.
Have done foster care. Tried to adopt.
Until foster care changes some of their reunification rules…. It seems it’s not possible to empty the kids out. We were foster parents previously and adopted twice. Pray for changes so ppl can actually save these sweet children!

Can i ask you wy is it that som many preachers and singer believe money is a blessing from God ? Some of them have become very rich and they get away with it. The bible make it very clear that we shall not gather silver and gold . No one is touching the subject ? WY ?

The blessing of wealth is all throughout scripture. It’s not to be our God or guiding post, but we can definitely receive it and enjoy it as a blessing from the Lord. You don’t have to starve yourself of pleasure to please God. You just can’t let it dominate you.

😂😂😂😂😂 so funny
I CAN SUM UP WHAT YOUR SERMON SHOULD BE SAYING. STENGTH WILL ONLY COME WHEN YOU REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE NOT GOD AND THE LORD IS! FLESH IS HAPPENING IN THE CHURCH DAILY BECAUSE THE CHURCH DOES NOT SURRENDER TO THE FATHER'S WILL DAILY, IT ONLY HAPPENS WEEKLY!
Keep praying for America and President Donald Trump and Israel and hostages and Idf,, and your truly to go to Israel and America and to get a green card for America to Judeo Christian s in Jesus Christ Name Says IAM that Iam Amen and amen
