BILL JOHNSON

BILL JOHNSON

Johnson was born in Minnesota in 1951 and became a Christian as a young child. Soon after, Johnson read seven books on prayer, which significantly affected his perspective and subsequent ministry.

Johnson's father, Melvin Earl Johnson (1929-2004) was the senior pastor at Bethel Church in Redding from 1968-1982 and subsequently became Executive Officer of the Northern California/Nevada District Council of the Assemblies of God. Earl Johnson had four children, all of whom are in full-time ministry.

Bill Johnson and his wife have three children: Eric, Brian and Leah.

Bill Johnson Sermon: Redefine Your Priorities and Overcome Complacency. Bill Johnson talks about how to redefine your priorities, find your passion, and overcome complacency. God is doing something great in the earth, but living in complacency is actually to live in opposition of the Gospel. As you enter this new year, respond to God’s invitation to up the ante in your relationship with Him. Redefining your priorities and overcoming complacency will restore and increase your passion for the Lord and purpose in Him.

Watch Bill Johnson: God Is Making Your Path Straight. 

Bill Johnson teaches from Proverbs 3 and how God makes straight the path of those who trust in Him. Trust is a heart issue, and it’s the heart that will take us places in God that our head cannot. God values our intellect and our minds, but our faith and trust in Him is to go beyond our understanding. Coming to know and personally experience God in every area of our lives is what sets us up for success. As we trust in Him, we can have confidence that He is making our paths straight.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3: 5-6 NKJV

Bill Johnson Sermon - Refine Your Focus for 2024. Bill Johnson teaches on the clarity and perspective that comes from refining your focus. During the time of Jesus, Anna and Simeon were completely focused on God’s promise to them about the Messiah. Their single focus prepared them to recognize the fulfillment of that promise even in a baby; Jesus. In our world today there are so many things trying to distract our affection and attention from our love for God and sensitivity to His voice. Many of the things that compete for our attention are not necessarily bad, but can still dilute our affection for God and take away from our purpose. As we reflect on 2023 and move into 2024, refining our focus on God and what He has called us to do will prepare us to recognize His voice even in the most subtle ways. Hearing His voice enables us to partner with Him to see His Presence and goodness fill every area of life.

Bill Johnson Devotional - Discovering the Way of Life. Bill Johnson’s devotional, The Pursuit of Wisdom, is a journey through the book of Proverbs and life of Solomon. Discover the way of life in this compilation of sessions 1-4. The book of Proverbs is a guide to reigning in life and thriving in your relationships, business, and every part of life. As you learn to hear God’s voice and grow in His wisdom, you will experience great success and have a positive and Kingdom impact on your community. Like Solomon following his parents advice and coming to God in humility and trust, great leadership comes from a place of deep trust in the Lord and a heart to pursue His wisdom.

Bill Johnson Sermon - Christmas Message: Peace on Earth. Bill Johnson teaches on God’s heart for peace in the earth. More than ever, we need peace and reconciliation not only between different nations, but between people and God. At Jesus’ birth, the angels declared “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and goodwill towards men”. What happens in heavenly realm is to have an effect in the earth - Jesus’ birth brought glory to God, and peace to the earth. As we continue to grow in awareness of God’s Presence with us and of the spiritual realm, we will see His effect on the natural realm, and peace released in the earth. This Christmas message of peace and hope is followed by a time of Communion.

Watch Bill Johnson Sermon - God Wants His Word to Become Flesh Again. Bill Johnson teaches on the power of God’s word and our responsibility to steward what He has said. God wants His word to become flesh again, in us. God has designed us to be co-laborers with Him in a way that our response to and stewardship of His word actually determines the outcome of many situations. We must be careful not to undermine God’s promises by speaking in unbelief. As we approach the Christmas season, we remember the events surrounding Jesus’ birth. After Mary’s encounter with Gabriel, she treasured God’s words to her and pondered them in her heart even though she probably did not fully understand them. Zacharias, on the other hand, was made mute until John was born so that he could not undermine God’s promise through his words. As we treasure the word of God in our heart and believe what He has spoken, we will give birth to the promises He has given us.

Watch Bill Johnson Devotional - The Passionate Pursuit of Wisdom. Bill Johnson talks about the passionate pursuit of wisdom in Session 5 of The Pursuit of Wisdom devotional series. We have been invited into a privileged journey to discover the wisdom of God and His mysteries. He longs to reveal Himself and His ways to us, and when we passionately pursue Him, He will not hold back wisdom and understanding from us. Many times we become weighed down by the problems and worries of this world, but God is wanting to remind us of the the beauty and delight of discovering Him and walking in His ways.

Watch Bill Johnson Sermon - Discovering God’s Purpose for Your Life. Bill Johnson teaches on God’s purpose for your life. The Christmas story reminds us of the reason Jesus came to earth, and how our purpose is found in Him. Jesus came to reveal the Father and has commissioned us to do the same. The nature of our Heavenly Father is revealed through the lives of His sons and daughters. Teaching from Mary’s encounter with Gabriel, we learn how to respond to impossible situations; with surrender and trust. As we confidently step forward into the realm of impossibility, our lives reveal a supernatural and good God, One who cares and provides for His children.

Bill Johnson Sermon - God’s Presence Is Your Inheritance.

Bill Johnson teaches on God’s Presence being our inheritance. When the Israelites entered the Promised Land, each tribe inherited a certain piece of land except for the Levites, because God Himself was their inheritance. As believers, God’s Presence is our inheritance. The Holy Spirit has been given to us as a downpayment, and we are invited to grow in hosting His Presence and become aware of Him every moment of our day. Hosting the Presence of God positions us to thrive in every situation we face in life as it connects us to supernatural hope and breakthrough, and the One who knows the end from the beginning.

Bill Johnson Sermon - How Childlike Trust Qualifies You. Bill Johnson teaches on childlike trust and how it qualifies you to thrive in every situation of life. Studying Proverbs chapter 1, we learn that Solomon’s heart of childlike trust is what positioned him to be a great leader and walk in great wisdom. Most of us want to feel qualified before we step into what God is calling us to do, but if we step out in childlike trust, God will equip us as we go. Childlike trust; dependence on God, is what keeps our heart postured to receive and walk in greater revelation and wisdom.
