- In this full sermon, Bill Johnson urges us to hunger for a fresh baptism of fire. Sharing from scripture and his own defining moments, Bill describes the importance of experiencing a baptism of fire, that we would become fully yielded to the Holy Spirit and see His power working in and through us to reach those around us with the love and freedom of Christ. We must keep our hearts in a tender place of continual hunger and dependency on God.

Amen!! One day doing the dishes in adoration, heart attentive to the Lord He said "There is a higher standing than being right and it is called Holiness".
One day we were at the park, my kids were playing on the playground. My son left his soccer ball in the car to play with later. A few times we saw this little boy with a similar soccer ball but his was smaller. My son met with his friend and they decided to get the soccer ball out of my car and play. They began playing kicks and having fun together until the boy with the similar soccer ball came over to them pointing and crying. He assumed my son and his friend stole his ball but we knew it belonged to us. My son tried to explain but the boy was so distraught he couldn't understand. My son tried to keep playing but he couldn't feeling he was doing something wrong. I reassured him it was ok and that the boys mum had his ball. My son already knew but he had a look on his face of sorrow. He paused for a moment, grabbed the ball and told the boy he could have it and gave him a hug. Immediately he stopped crying and ran off happily. My son came over to me and I hugged him, I asked why he did that? He said he knew it would make him happy so he gave it.
In that moment Holy Spirit spoke
"There is a higher standing than being 'right' and it is called Holiness".
Though my son knew it was rightfully his ball and he done nothing wrong, he moved not on what seemed right but what was right from his heart in love. And it was his hearts intention that was pure.
That moment I could have bawled. I told my son how proud of him I was and what God was teaching us. When God is everything to us and we live FROM His love, what comes out never serves ourselves but Him and others. Holiness and purity isnt about the things we do, but the heart in which we operate from. The intention of it! It will be a joy to take the lowly seat, not feeling the need to plead our case to one another and argue over pointless truths and rather letting THE TRUTH REIGN! Jesus should fill us so much in our time of intimacy with Him that we no longer feel the need to be right and rather feel the urge to go lower! Knowing, Lord, this is the heart that praises you, this is the heart that you choose to abide in, this is the love language between me and your spirit that you love! Because even when no one else sees, He does! El Roy, the God who sees! These things are so pleasing to Him when we truly love and serve Him to serve others. It makes His heart happy, and for that reason I almost look for these moments that no one on the outside could praise me for, that it would be so low that it goes unseen by the human eye knowing God you see. And you LOVE THAT SO MUCH!
Ty for that beautiful story! It simple truth being lived out loud and your son did such a lovely thing.
Amen. 💖💖💖👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌☝☝
Thank you for your beautiful sharing.
The lesson learrned by your son. Is a teaching no.ent for the rest I
Of hid life. . and mine,
Thank you so much foe sharing this beautiful story. I love that you were able to hear Gods message to you so clearly through your sons act of love.
Thank you so much for this testimony..It is so perfectly written. Thank you Holy Spirit for your encouragement and love❤️ Beautiful! These moments are the ones that are the most beautiful where we see how our Father is🥰 thank You Jesus for your love 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I'm here I want the baptism of fire. I need more of him and none of me
"Love never requires agreement." That is a profoundly accurate and true statement. So many seem to think it does, they shrink from debate, from critical thought, have a "don't rock the boat" mentality. Love speaks the truth.
Up from the grave He arose..
Lord help me to rock the boat according to Your beautiful Holy Spirit !!
Amen and Amen.
My God
And submission requires disagreement.
Great word. Incredibly inspiring
Thank you for pointing us to a deeper hunger for the presence of Jesus.
Your post brought me to this video and I agree with what you said about it. Noticed you comment on Kevin Zadai’s preachings too. There’s a lot of meat to digest in a short amount of time!
Blessings brother to you and your family.
@@AL-xx2ds Blessings to you too.
God bless you Bill! Your teaching touches my heart! Bless you dear brother!
Pray for me. I need Him so bad! Circumstances of this life has changed my family in a negative way. I can't even say what has happened, it's so bad. I'm alone. My family not even talking to me, we're not whole. We're all believers but are separated by a Circumstance that has happened. They blame me. But the one barred from a long time is gone. Sin separated us all. But it had to be told. I surrender all. Lord baptism come. Amen
The Lord will hear your heart cry and He will help your heart, and restore your family.

Thank you so much for your prayers
I wish they would add tge next part when Tom came up and gave an altar call to which so many filled the altar literally weeping and wailing under the hand of god it was an epic moment in my life
I want to give my life to Jesus.
Today is may 17 as I am watching. I have been in a place of seeking God all of him. I am born again but not being all God has planned for be. If you see this pray for me because I want more of Him, I wantHis fire and power in me to finish this race strong for His purpose and His Glory. Thank you and bless you!
I love Godard you all with all my heart praying for Jesus revival pleading his precious blood amen
Praying for you these many months later, David. Praying you have grown closer yet to our wonderful Lord Jesus, running the race you have been chosen for 🙇♀️❤✝️🕊📖
Praying for you still almost one year later my brother in Christ ❤
Wow! I had to think about this for a minute. It has been a long minute. I’m moving forward but still struggle. Maybe that’s part of it. I don’t believed I ever ask for prayer on a forum like this before. In the last few months I started have adhd issues again. At my age it is scary when I thought I was passed that. Now it’s hard to get the meds that help me focus at work. But the love of God just touched me through ready these replies. Mind blowing to say the least. Thank you so much and please continue that I will get passed this adhd thing. Love y’all really do.
Full surrender does not come without cost. It is different for us all. God knows what we cling to as our identity. It is only our identity in Christ Jesus that can produce the fruit of surrender. I bless the words and heart of Bill Johnson. This message is true to form!
thanks
wow....I was on my knees by the end....yes, Lord, this is my heart's passion...nothing else matters...baptize me with fire.."a passion that brings purity in lifestyle, decisions, and impact!"...to the glory of God! What a timely message for today...it is contagious, and vital! Thank you Bill Johnson!
Wonderful
Please please help… I agree I agree I am beyond desperate
Thankyou, I’ve been seeking Jesus to know Him more, and what it means to have intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
Awesome word
What a beautiful message. Such purity and vulnerability shown by a Godly leader. How refreshing. May fire fall on us
Thank you 😊
Love you Lord margaret
Soooo good to be inspired by the Power of God's Holy Fire teaching Poppa Bill. For Me
As nearly fifty years since God caused Me to
SEE and ENTER THE KINGDOM OF JESUS by His unending mercies on August 4th 1973.....this Baptism of Fire teaching fans afresh His flames of His Heavenly Visions !
Great faith comes from great surrender. There's a yielding
Real faith is exhibited in humility.
Amen, brother Bill!! Thank you for sharing this important teaching for the Body of Christ!! We need to be purified and baptized afresh in the Holy Spirit and with the Refining fire of our Lord Jesus!! Let us be holy and pure as our Heavenly Father is Holy!!! God bless you!! 🙏
You are very welcome
Create in me a clean heart, O God;
restore within me a sense of being brand new.
Do not throw me far away from Your presence,
and do not remove Your Holy Spirit from me.
Give back to me the deep delight of being saved by You;
let Your willing Spirit sustain me.
If You do, I promise to teach rebels Your ways
and help sinners find their way back to You.
Psalm 51: 10-13 The VOICE Translation
Show mercy to the person not to their thinking, love doesn’t require agreement, prayer will bring transformation, the place of brokenness is the place where the believer lives
Lord comforts all who are in distress at this moment, distressed with their downcast soul, in the name of Jesus I ask you Lord🙌
The fire of god has been on me most the year, spending most my time alone forced into retirement early for health reasons. The presence of god is on me daily shaking for hours on end as i pray for my life, friends, family and the world, lots of crying everyday, travailing, birthing revival.
i so want a baptism of fire afresh. then the spoken message would be the becomming of me rather than merely just speaking it
Such an excellent word!! We need that gift of hunger and the baptism of Holy Fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh my lord this is all I from you it’s about you father not me thank you lord amen and ❤
Awesome testimony... Be it unto me for these last days..amen.
Thank you🙏
I want to make a commitment to God to be His disciple, to be an embassador of God's love🙏💗 and I want the holy spirit, the baptism of fire, and for my husband and our families, friends, church and everyone in the world in Jesus's name 🙏 Amen
Yes Father I must have a full baptism of fire! Then permit me to carry the baptism back to Cambodia! Yes. At all costs.
Your passion is infectious, which of course is a good thing.
I am watching you and want my baptism of fire.
Amen! Always so solid - my "go-to" for personal growth through prophetic preaching!
I don’t know how to express it. Just to say, “Bring it on, Lord!” We need it!
that's a great thing to pray for Fresh Baptism of fire.
I turn you on to provoke a greater faith. THANK GOD FOR YOU!
thanks so much
Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight- That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart- These, O God, You will not despise. Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.

I found in my life that it all starts with the BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST-
Then it is up to me how much FIRE I want in my own life-
It starts with how much drive and hunger and discipline I have in my inner being!!

Thank you for talking about your experience. I had a similar experience a year ago (not as dramatic) where I was filled with the Holy Spirit but could not move in the middle of the night and your testimony helps me understand it so much better. Praise Jesus 🙌
Thanks for sharing!!
I need the Baptism of fire Guadalupe Deanda Jr.
Holy Spirit fire, which purges and purifies the individual in preparation for the restoration of the Apostolic office, and also an apostolic enabling with power within individual members of the Body of Christ. This will take the Church beyond all past and present attainments.
This end-time apostolic visitation will impart Holy Spirit fire, which will prepare the way for the restoration of the Lord’s Shekinah (glory). This will result in a true purity of life and spiritual unity, in which the creative word will be spoken, with authority.
🤗❤🙏
Amen. It cut me
Karen here. Great jokes!

When can i see bill speak? Want to visit the church but on a weekend he is there..
What happens when you have an intense hunger and He doesn't seem to be filling it? I know that sounds awful, but I desire so much more and nothing seems to be happening. What am I doing wrong?
How is Beni??
Where I can see the night service?

OK. I heard. Shingles. Rub raw unfiltered honey on it.cover w a cln white cloth.
you can be on fire for God and sometimes really good preaching makes for really bad doctrine. He shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost and with fire . He shall gather the wheatint the garner (Those who have been baptized by the Holy ghost and are born again) But the chaff he shall burn up with unquenchable fire. ( Hell fire) . The baptism of fire is according to the text where those who have not received the gift of the Holy Ghost go because they are trusting in something or someone else other than Christ.
He dated himself with the water bed comment
Baptism of fire is being thrown in hell.
