Reasons Why You Might Struggle to Hear God’s Voice - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel Church

Ойын-сауық

Bill Johnson shares reasons why you might struggle to hear God’s voice. God has so much say to you and share with you, but perhaps you are not ready to hear it, or perhaps His voice is drowned out by too many other voices. Bill Johnson teaches from the parable of the sower, and how to position yourself to hear God’s voice and the wonderful revelations He wants to share with you.

    Best line: Pray? but I always fall asleep when I pray: 'Well, i never got mad at my children for falling asleep in my arms"

    God is not your sleeping pill! If you fall asleep while praying. Well give the devil his due.

    Falling asleep when reading the Word or praying is a sign you need deliverance. We all need deliverance and it is so freeing when you are able to be free from those strongholds.

    Rest and sleep do nourish us... God is the author of health and has designed our current state of being for wake and sleep cycles... He is able to heal and restore us as we purpose ourselves to establish and maintain healthy habits that facilitate a life more abundantly... respecting our current condition in the flesh while primarily walking after the Spirit!! Better to fall asleep praying than watching secular TV, right?? Does everything have to be a demon?? Maybe we should view God as a GOOD FATHER vs. a worldly bootcamp sergeant who cares nothing personally for us or what we can now handle spiritually, physically, emotionally. Enter into His REST (tend to the mind of so GREAT a salvation) and take His yoke upon you and you WILL find REST (peace and approval) for your souls ❤ LOVE YOU!!! THANK YESHUA FOR HIS LOVING KINDNESS TODAY!!!

    Deliverance is the children's bread (a renewed mind) able to think on everything GOOD, LOVELY, TRUE, AND PURE...for righteousness sake as we pursue to establish the Kingdom of Heaven within us with all due diligence!! What happens when we gather more than we can eat for today? OT talks about God's commands to Israel when instructing about gathering bread from Heaven to eat!!!

    Yesterday morning in a prayer zoom call, I saw an unusual picture. It was of an octopus. It’s tentacles were constantly moving, picking up signals from its surroundings. It crawled into the open hand of its Creature…as Father God held its body, it’s tentacles began to relax until they were totally limp…completely at rest. 🙏❤️We live from the finished work of the cross!

Just getting used to some things in the newness, but really great blessings in moving into a retirement apartment after 27 years in my house by myself, but being almost 80, it is a very good idea!! And there are wonderful people here, both residents & staff.

    Pastor Bill said, past min 31, two cool analogies about reading God's word; "I don't remember what I ate for breakfast last week, but it still nourished me." "I never got mad at my children for falling asleep in my arms." How true and timely to receive a realtime word of God analogy during his preaching on how to hear from God.
