I haven’t listened to Bill Johnson since the time that I lost my husband and I listen to his message about his wife, and it was a blessing but today, God just led me to listen to this message, I have fought ADHD, my whole life, and the doctor, Think about what I will do if when I get dementia, but as you were praying, I just spoke Life over my brain and I received totally healing. I will speak it until I can prove it because I believe I’m healed.

Please pray for my diabetes
Be healed in your mind and body in the name of Jesus. May the Lord open your eyes and cause you to dissociate yourself from this disease. No longer should you say "my diabetes" you have claimed it far too long that you have identified with it. No more beloved. Be healed now in Jesus name!
When you see that healing has come, maintain it with a good diet beloved.

My nephew was attacked and left with traumatic brain injury. He was bleeding into his brain and we lost him last week Monday. I wish I had listened to this earlier maybe we could have prayed together. He was only 21😔
❤️🔥
Have......😊
49er games! lol That's how I watch NBA as well. I don't have extra time or energy to waist on defeat ;)
I have health problems. Please help 🙏 pray
No financial favor on any of our recordings yet obedience to the faith action to make and share surely has merit.
Eph 2:6 we are IN Christ (balloon in balloon image). The Father sees us as the Son, at the right hand. Think and see according to our position, discovered through grace/favor.
Stand against wiles of devil. 4:1 walk in manner worthy of our call. grace is shown in posture of sitting.
Prophecy: Reading of the poem that God has been writing of your life. Read the grace/favor on others. Points to the grace giver.
Celebrate grace upon others as if it were your own, even when it's not your turn.
Gifts (grace) vs rewards . They are different
Gracelet to pray /prophecy over others - honoring them for who God made them to be
1. One another. Divine favor thru another person's words. God notices the words you say, and backs you up by touching that person.
Sometimes those words come from someone who has the least favor in your eyes
2. From God Himself. Luke 4. Around v20. Gracious words of Jesus. Grace filled words. Connection with faith and fully realizing favor. Is it from the voice of God?
Even Jesus needed grace/favor as he grew up.
Numbers 6 blessing over israel every day. Shining face.
You can't earn grace, but you can reject it.
3. Obey God's opportunity for relationship. 1:11:45 Our "yes" to what God is doing that brings favor.
4. Eph 4:7,(8-10) 11
Element of grace that comes in response to the gifts that God has put in our lives. 5 fold ministry. Fuel (grace) makes the motor (person) run like the one who gave the gift. Grace pours out of the 5 fold ministers. Equip (set broken bone). Restore to full function. Unity of faith is God's "dream", let's pay attention to it.
Favor is never about us. Mary poured the expensive perfume for Jesus, bit left the house smelling like Jesus. It's all about Him. Increasing favor should make us nervous. But it opens doors for opportunity for Him. Be a dispenser of God's favor.
I bring the name of mother kaddeke kolositika you have mentioned what is paining her, she is about to her sigh
Than you
Gods got it all wired, and if that makes someone walk off, they were probably not interested in the first place. Randy mentions divine energy as well, but I felt he was probably ministering to a lot of hipsters and new-agers.
🎯 Spot on! Yes and Amen, we need the grace to be able to fulfil God' Will in our Life 🛐🛐🛐🔑🔑👐✝️👑🛡⚖️🌄🦅💕🕊🕊🕊😊
NB: God led me to do a detox, diet n finally a Daniel Fast. Jus completed my detox/fast programme. Now much healthier in Spirit, Soul n Body👐🏽👑✝️🛡⚖️🌅🦅
*Use to have issues w guts, liver n colestriol. God heals in many ways🤔😊
where does the Bible talk about and/or mention the energy of God?? I would love to read this...
In the New Testament, the Greek word ἐνέργεια (energeia), meaning “working” or “operation,” is used to describe God’s power in action. For example:
• Ephesians 1:19-20 speaks of “his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead.” The word energeia is used to describe this power in action.
• Colossians 1:29 mentions, “To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.”
I have asked this same question and been confused about Jesus needing to learn from god throughout his life. If he never sinned. Why did he have to increase in favor with god.
I believe it was because He was also “the Son of Man,” which is the title He gave Himself. He had to come as one of us, a man, a human being, in order to completely and perfectly fulfill all of the requirements of the law of Moses. If He had done anything in His deity, it would not have been acceptable, so He came as a Man, the Second Adam, to right the wrong of the first Adam. Satan tried to tempt Him to use His deity in the wilderness before He began His earthly ministry, but He already knew who He was before that, from when the voice of the Father spoke at His baptism (both in water and in the Holy Spirit) in the Jordan River, and said “You are My Beloved Son, in Whom I AM well pleased.” Jesus was and is our example and model of how to walk in the Spirit, and so He had to grow in grace, favor, and stature just like any born again believer. He learned scripture (even though He IS the Living Word, the Word made flesh) and then applied it and acted on it just like we’re supposed to do. He came to show us the way not only just back to the Father, but how to walk in our original design, with the restored authority and dominion that He originally gave to Adam, but was stolen through deceit by satan, who is now under our feet in and through Christ. It’s also interesting to think about that phrase, “increased in favor and stature WITH God AND man. Jesus walked WITH God, and was pleasing to Him, just like the Bible speaks of Enoch, who was translated. He only spoke what He heard the Father say, and only did the works He saw the Father do. And He also walked with, and/or among, men. The more He did, in fulfilling the law, and in obeying the Father, and working the works of the Father, as He said Himself, the more favor came on Him, both with God and with men. The testimony of many was that He truly was the Son of God, yet He, and Paul, said that now, so are we, although “sons” (lower case?) of God. But when we see Him, we shall be like Him. Is that once we get to heaven, or for now? Have we “seen” Jesus? I think at least metaphorically, or spiritually, we have seen Him through the Word and in our hearts. So, we should be like Him, and according to Paul and John (especially in the Book of 1st John, we already are! Food for thought… and hopefully action, too. Blessings, Brother…!
😂 I heard someone whistling into the middle of the prayer idk why that stood out to me
I wish your sermons would be download-able on TH-cam so I could listen even in places I don't get network coverage.
I save things in my email and messenger
Receiving for my scoliosis to be healed.
If you have an apple phone the sermons are on the podcast app and can be downloaded. Hopefully since they are available in podcast format they can be downloaded into other types of phones via a podcasting app.
Who was the Good Shepherd in the context of his Life, For one who believes how did Life come into the world, well after the Lord conceived Mary with The Seed of the Holy Spirit He sent from him His AngeL, the Lord Has Found Favor with you, Name your child Jesus because he will save the world. How would the world be saved?
@ 2:54 where is "the energy of God" found in the bible?
In the New Testament, the Greek word ἐνέργεια (energeia), meaning “working” or “operation,” is used to describe God’s power in action. For example:
• Ephesians 1:19-20 speaks of “his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead.” The word energeia is used to describe this power in action.

@@samueljoseph4142 thanks Kewl ok and what versions translate as 'energy' in these passages?
@@samueljoseph4142 Wow crazy that δυνάμεως(dynamis), ἐνέργειαν(energeian) and κράτους(kratos) can all be translated as 'power' depending on the sentence usage.
@@samueljoseph4142 Wow crazy that δυνάμεως(dynamis), ἐνέργειαν(energeian) and κράτους(kratos) can all be translated as power depending on the sentence usage.
ἐνέργεια (Energeia) - Energy/Working/Effectiveness
• Explicitly refers to divine energy or God’s active power.
• Ephesians 1:19-20: “…and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power [δύναμις, dynamis] toward us who believe, according to the working [ἐνέργεια] of His great might.”
• Colossians 1:29: “For this I toil, struggling with all His energy [ἐνέργεια] that He powerfully works within me.”
Well he tells us none can get to the Father except through ME, another way to say this His Vengeance can not take place, Unless He has you in him, ( Watch This). ME, now go in, but how as a baby in his mother's womb, so open it's side...( M.........E insert you; i, and the treasure the rich found buried and bought, found prepared ahead time for good works(Jesus, n), buried by faith!...so Here we go ME to MinE, now he walks with you as mINe, don't be afraid this is so one could be his righteousness!
I love bethel! But im calling out the repeated speaking in honoring terms of Bill gates. Not about being negative.... its about wakeing up and resisting evil.
Pray for bill gates pray for his repentance and salvation. But his is unquestionably guily of massive crimes against humanity.
Diabetes and high blood pressure are lifestyle diseases and reversible using diet ( even those with hereditary issues ). It seems odd to pray for healing for that and not do something about the cause. Don’t you think God wants to prevent people from “falling off the cliff” more than being the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff ? High carb low fat diets are instrumental in just about every major disease there is - and seed oils ( The so called “healthy” oils ) are a major factor in that . They are readily oxidised , too high in polyunsaturated fats ( PUFAs ) and a precursor to endocannabanoids ( the compound that gives you the “munchies” if you get stoned ) . We are being deceived / blinded ! A high fat / low carb diet excluding seed oils will be life changing for someone with ADHD /ASD , getting their brain running on ketones.
I don’t like that deer head on the drums. Deer head is an evil symbol
I receive this grace for my little granddaughter to receive complete restoration of chromosome 22 and wholeness in perfect growth inside out. Amen
