Quotes from Bill Johnson

Jesus rebuked a storm. If that storm was the will of God the Father, then Jesus is fighting the will of God.

Having a renewed mind is often not an issue of whether or not someone is going to heaven, but of how much of heaven he or she wants in his or her life right now. Jesus urged us to do an about-face in our

His purpose—His reality—is to raise up a delegated group of people who work with Him to destroy the works of the devil, who demonstrate and prove the will of God here on earth as it is in heaven. That is the core of the Great Commission.

The only way to consistently do Kingdom works is to view reality from God's perspective. That's what the Bible means when it talks about renewing our minds. The battle is in the mind.

We must get our minds set on spiritual things because as long as we fill our minds with what's happening in the natural, we restrict our effectiveness. We may rise up now and then and score a victory with the gift of faith, but we won't have the continual influence of Kingdom transformation flowing through us.

Pharaoh enlarged his offer by saying, "Go now, you that are men" (Exodus 10:11, MEV). It becomes quite clear that the enemy fears entire families worshipping God together.

Re" means to go back. "Pent" is like the penthouse, the top floor of a building. Repent, then, means to go back to God's perspective on reality.
